ORDER OF "soNs OF REST"
Possibility That English Writer Has
Drawn Upon His Imagination In
the Following.

II IL an age Of societies and unions,
all Of which are supposed TO exist for
the betterment OF those who join; but
It comes as a shock to learn that the
tramping fraternity have organized a
union. We gather this from a card
which was found by the police in the
pocket Of a workshy wayfarer. and
which p~urported to give the rules of

Tired Tim, and the v~ice-president
Dusty Rhodes. The rules include:
That this society be called THE

Any brother who wilfully contracts
any Illness through watching other
people work will not receive any
benefits from this society. and should
he have the misfortune to get a Job his

Sheep raising means something more
than buying a flock Of sheep and turn.
ing them into a bare pasture without
shelter.
Our sheep farmers are beginning to
learn that they need permanent pas.
lures Increased yearly in productive
ness by high fertilizing.
The hit-or-miss plan OF raising
sheep has never yet proved profitable.
Never feed sheep heavily on one
grain alone. Give them a variety and
don't forget the roots.
English shepherds believe that PEG.
pie who eat mutton and leave pork
alone will never have indigestion.
Arrange your fields so that the
sheep will have good shade during
the coming summer.
II is an easy matter to provide a
narrow trough filled three or four
inches deep with solution through
which the sheep can pass from the
pen to the pasture every morning.
This will not cure bad cases OF foot
rot but 1t will prevent new cases.
One OF the necessary things in tho
care Of sheep is the pairing of their
hoofs at least twice a year. Nature
provided a rapid growth OF hoof to
stand the wear and tear OF stony
ground but soft pastures will not wear
down the hoofs fast enough and the
broken hoof often results in disease.
II you have any old sheep. they
should be separated from the rest OF
the flock. and II they are 10 be fat
tened. corn should be cracked for
them.
Do not make the mistake OF starting
the sheep business with a large flock.
You will have your hands full for the
first year or two with a dozen.
The most profit to be made in sheep
Is on the farm where small hocks can
be handled to better advantage than
by wholesale.
Ever try smoked mutton hams,
They are cured Just as easily as pig
hams and are good eating,
II sheep and lambs are fed grain
together. the lambs will fare pretty
slim. Have a hole In the fence near
the barn through which the lambs can
slip and get away from the old sheep.
Have a good trough out there for the
grain you feed the little fellows and
they will get their share and grow like
weeds.
Make It a rule to pee the sheep and
lambs every day. Count to see that
nothing has happened to them, II
one is sick or otherwise in trouble.
get It out OF the flock where you can
give II a little extra care.

Chinese woman's Complexion.

A French expert has been giving
his attention to what he calls "the
exquisite complexion OF the Chinese
women" This, he claims, is not due
to enameling, as is generally sup.
posed, but to careful manipulation OF
the face by most expert masseuses.
They begin by a gentle pinching OF
the cheeks between the tips OF their
fingers, an operation that consumes a
period OF ten minutes. Then lotions
are applied by means OF absorbent cot
ton; then comes an unguent, and there
follows a kneading OF the cheeks with
an extreme delicacy OF touch, always
proceeding from the nose and commits
sures OF the lips toward the ears

The sheep Is a dainty feeder and

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee

Many cases Of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use of coffee.
It Is said hat in Arabia where cof-
fee is used In large quantities, many
lose their eyssight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug. caffeine, as
coffee.
A N. J. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
MY son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds Of
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was a defect In his ayes
which was hard to reach.
He used I o drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit 1t and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
his eyes since.
Il was always fond of tea and coffee
and finally became so nervous l could
hardly sit still long enough to eat a
meal. My heart was in such a con-
dition l thought l might die at any
time.
Medicine did not give me relief
and l was almost desperate. 1t was
about this time we decided to quit cof-
fee and use Postum, and have used It
ever since. / am In perfect health.
