CLEVER WIFE
Knew How to Keep Peace In Family.

It Is quite significant, the number of
persons who get well of alarming
heart trouble when they let up on cof-
fee and use Postum as the beverage at
meals.
There is nothing surprising about 1t,
however, because the harmful alkaloid
-caffeine-in coffee is not present in
Postum, which is made of clean, hard
wheat.
Two years ago / was having so
much trouble with my heart" writes
. lady in Washington, that at times
felt quite alarmed. Ny husband took
me to a specialist to have my heart
examined.
"The doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something l had been
accustomed to, and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me.

soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart
So / stopped coffee and began to use
Postum. have had no further

that his wife wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured some Postum and

HE drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and Is still using

odor of stale flesh and finally of pu-
trefaction comes sooner; and in every
way the product is more perishable.
A very large proportion of the un-
slightly poultry in our markets aside
from the rubbing and tearing of the
skins, is caused by an incomplete re-
moval of the blood This is evidenced
by red dots which frequently occur
where the feathers have been removed,
especially over the thighs and wings,
or by the small veins which are seen
over the breast and in the angles of
the wings, or larger veins, which mar
the appearance of the neck Generally
1t is the neck which shows most
plainly the presence of blood in the
fowl or that a wrong method has been
used in cutting the blood vessels in
an attempt to empty them. The neck
first red, then blush red or purple and
finally green as aging progresses.
Two sketches Of a chickens head
are here shown from which the lower
Jaw has been removed. The lower jaw
of tbs chicken is muck longer than the
beak. 1t runs back to point just
below the ear, where the hinged joint
can be felt. The skin which makes

some of the most common types of
cuts in badly bled chickens. A study
of these illustrations indicates very
plainly why these chickens are badly
bled. The lower jaws from these heads
were removed so that the position Of
the cuts could be noted. Head A has
had two cuts. One has run parallel
with the connection between the two
Teins and very close to it but has not
cut it, and another has run from the
angle of the mouth too close to the
point where the blood vessel on the
left side Of the head breaks into the
two smaller vessels and penetrates
the bones of the skull The only ves-
sells which we're cut in this chicken
were the small superficial veins sup
plying the roof of the mouth and from
which the bleeding amounted to al
most nothing. Head B shows cut
in the right direction but it did not go
quite far enough back to reach the
veins at their junction. Head A, In
the cut shows the cross cut which
is advocated by so many killers. In
this case it WIS made too far front
Both of the large veins escaped and
only the small vessels of the roof Of
the mouth were disturbed. "B" iy e.

ting by badly directed knife, which
in all probability was far too large,
since the upper cut extends all tho
way scross the roof of the chickens
mouth and almost as far front as the
beak- Another cut which partly fol-
lows the groove in the roof of the
mouth would indicate that the killer
had tried to make a cross cut.

they are quite safe from the killers
knife. If these large veins are to be
severed, the cut must be made far
enough back to reach them before
they penetrate the bones of the skull
On the other hand, if the cut is made
too far back and over the edge Of
the skull, as is shown in connection
with the illustration, much OF the
blood will settle in the loose tissue
of the neck instead of running out of
the mouth, thereby clogGing the ves-
sells and preventing complete bleed
ing, as we'll as making unsightly dis
colored areas in the neck near the
head. 1t Is better to make one cut
as shown in this plate rather than to
cut the bridge" in the middle or 10
cut each side vein separately, since
this sometimes results in the clot-
ting of the blood at the ends OF the
veins nefore the bleeding is completed.
Below is shown the position of a

there is nothing to obstrUet the blood
vessels, thereby preventing the blood
from escaping even though these YES
sells be cut. The pressure against the
Jaw makes accurate cutting of the
veins easier, since the bird can not
close its mouth until the pressure is
removed OF course, care must be
taken not to stretch the neck unduly,
else the vessels will be pulled to such
narrow diameter that they are more
difficult to find and also more difficult

The position of the knife in the
mouth, which is shown by the dotted
line, needs no further explanation. The
knife itself, however, is very differ,
ent from that ordinarily used In the
bleeding of chickens. The knife in
common use is much too large, both
too long and too broad for the most
successful work.
Intellectual cutting, due to a lack OF
knowledge of the structure Of the
chickens neck and head, the use of
force rather than skill on the part of
the operator, and a knife i'll adapted
to the work which it has to DO is Illus

TREES THAT ROB THE SEA
Nlpa Palms and Mangroves OF Sara
wax Successfully Employed as
Land Builders.

The river banks in Sarawak (Brit-
ish protectorate in Borneo) are lined
with nipa palms and mangroves. At
low tide you can see the mangroves
standing on trestles of black woody
roots, looking like snakes writhing in
the mud. Upon these pedestals crows
Of bright green leaves, thirty to
forty feet in height, form aquatic
forests at the mouth of the rivers all
along the coast Each branch is
weighed down by fruit, which, when
ripe drops into the mud and starts
new tree.
The nipa palm has matted roots,
which easily retain the fiotsam and
jetsam carried down by the unceasing
current Of the waters, and it is an
angular fruit, which like that of the
mangrove, sinks into the mud, ger
inmates, and forms forests on It's
own account. The incessant action
of these encroaching trees adds con-
tinually to the land. Indeed, there are
certain aged natives who have been
heard to say that part of the coast
near Sirik, although exposed to the
constant surf of the northeast mon
soon, has encroached on the sea for
two miles or more during their life
time.
When the land reclaimed by the
mangroves and nipa palms becomes
drier the trees die and give place to
other tropical vegetation.-From the
Rance Of Sarawak, in the Wide World
Magazine.
