SKIN CLEARED.
BY Simple Change In Food.

1t has been said by a physician that
most diseases are the result of indi-
gestion.
There's undoubtedly much truth In
the statement, even to the cause OF
many unslghtly eruptions, which many
suppose can be removed by applying
some remedy on the outside.
By changing her food Kan. girl
was relieved of an eczema which was
a great annoyance to her. She writes:
For five months l was suffering
with an eruption on my face and
hands which our doctor called eczema
and which caused me a great deal Of
inconvenience. The suffering was al
most unbearable.
'The medicine ! took only gave me
temporary relief. One day happened
to read somewhere that eczema was
caused by indigestion. Then read
that many persons had been relieved
Of indigestion by eating Grape-Nuts.

ELDERS STRICT AS TO DUTY
Observance Of the Sabbath Most Rigid
ly Enforced In Scotland In tho
Sixteenth Century.

The sixteenth century practice of the
elders in Scotland of going the rounds
to pick up offenders against Sunday
rules survived until the eighteenth
century. Mr.. Thoman, in his "Weavers
Craft" gives details of the bag"
"The minister himself would make the
rounds to spy with his own eyes the
sins of the absentees. Here one man
is found romping with his BARNS; an
other detected kissing his wife; two
men were found drinking ale, and one
was found with his coat off, as If he
were going to work; and still another
was seen eating hearty dinner. All
were pulled up before the session Of
the kirk and 'repentances' enforced
upon each" And now one can under
stand the wherefore Of the drawn
blind on the Sabbath, which struck
James Payn as astonishing in the Ed
inburgh of the sixties.

In the face of worldwide tendency

a determined effort is being made in
England to make the hen work over
"A longer working day for hens" 1t

of the row over the high price of

father he was thrown on the com

charities in Birmingham. then turned
over to the juvenile court. which in
turn transferred him to leading ply

using the boy as an anthropologicai

Young Armstrong has never learned
to walk erect. but goes on 'all fourS."
He is physically strong and can run
as fast as the average boy His body
and limbs are normally formed and
developed His arms are slightly
longer than normal, presumably rs a
result of use in all four walking. 1t
has always seemed natural for him to
walk that way.

usage he can place his hands on the

The boys mental development has
been slow, but the physician who has
him in charge believes that In six
months he will be able to walk like
other boys. He is being trained In
that direction and has made some
progress, He is gradually developing
mentally as well.
Physicians are studying the case
with exceptional interest in the belief
that valuable anthropological and med

his treatment
For ten years the boy has travelled
on all tours and can walk for miles

Humphreys Statement.

In view of the efforts being made at
this time by other states to get our
good cows. it is to be hoped that the
farmers of the state will not fail to
consider Prof. Humphreys statement
to the effect that by getting better cows
the dairy income of Wisconsin could be
increased $50, 000, 900. This is a matter
that is important, if true, and of the
truth Of which there is no doubt.
Then grow alfalfa and make another
addition and Wisconsin will double
any other state in the dairy industry.
