Any man who persistently breeds
his gifts too young will find the quality
of his breed steadily deteriorating.
Select your brood pigs from the
largest litters, as they are generally
better breeders and better feeders.
No matter what the subsequent use
of the pig on the farm is to be his
early development should be carefully
guarded.
When the green corn comes along a
little later, do not stuff young pigs
all they will eat or thumps will be the
result.
A SOW that suckles big litter of
hungry pigs needs great deal of
nourishing feed, but some farmers
never seem to learn that fact.
The farmer not prepared with wov.
en- Wire fencing. with ample alfalfa
or clover pastures, is not properly
prepared for the economical produc-
ton of pork.
Newly purchased hogs should be
carefully examined for vermin, and
should not be turned out with the herd
until they are known to be free from
these pests.
Certainly good forage crop for the
hogs is one of the most profitable
crops swine breeder can raise espe-
cially when one considers the fact
they will harvest it without cost
The main points to be looked after
to be successful with hogs are good
shelter, warm, dry bed, freedom from
lice and worms, plenty of good drink
ing water and nourishing food at regu
lar hours.

Hogs are fond Of sugar beets and
thrive on them.
Mango is mainly caused by filth in
the sleeping quarters.
In the hot weather hogs should have
good pasture and little grain.
Sunlight is natural tonic for the
little pigs and they revel in 1t.
The feeding pals should be
scrubbed and scalded every day.
Young pigs that are weaned should
be fed four or FIVE times each day.
We do not believe in dosing hogs
with medicine except in serious cases.
Beware of the sway-back pig, no
matter If all the other points are good.
The hog is an economic accessory
on the we'll managed diversified farm.
Reading other peoples opinions oft.
en- shows US how far off we are in our
own.
Hogs thrive best when clean, and
they will always keep clean If given
the chance.
Excellence. is the result Of hard Ia
Dor and paying attention to little de-
tails in pig raising.
1t is bad practise to take all the
pigs from the SOW at once. She should
be dried up gradually.
Just because it is only hog. do not
forget that clean, pure water is more
acceptable than slime.
Give plenty of range. clean, pens,
clean feed, clean water and the hog
will as rule take care of itself.
Select your brood pigs from the
largest litters as they are generally
better breeders and better feeders.

Give Young people Useful Work.

The boy or girl who is given some
useful work to do at home is helped
to realize and to enjoy the RESPONSE
bility of doing the task and doing it
well and is thus gaining in character
building. 1t may be that a boy is ex.
pected to keep yard in order, go on
errands, or relieve some one of care;
or that a girl is required to attend
to some household tasks, to dust a
room, or keep desk in neat condi-
ton, arrange flowers for the table, or
make a dainty dessert. Little things,
faithfully done, help to form habits of
neatness, duties may seem small, but
they are important beginnings.

HIT THE SPOT.
Postum Knocked Out Coffee AiIs.

There's a good deal Of satisfaction
and comfort in hitting upon the right
thing to rid one of the varied and
constant ailments caused by coffee
drinking.
Ever since I can remember"
%srites an Ind. woman. my father
fhas been lover of his coffee, but the
continued use of it SO affected his
stomach that he could scarcely eat at
times.
Mother had coffee-headache and
dizziness, and if / drank coffee for
breakfast would taste it all day and
usually go to bed with headache.
"One day father brought home a
pkg. of Postum recommended by our
grocer. Mother made it according to
directions on the box and it just hit
the spot" 1t has dark, seal-brown
color, changing to golden brown when
cream is added, and snappy taste

we found that its continued use speed

FOUR KILLED IN
BED WITH AK
Man, Wife, Daughter and Her
Baby Slain.
YOUNG HUSBAND is SOUGHT
Police Also Hunting Former Tenant,
Who Made Threats After Be-
ing Compelled To Vacate
the House.

Chicago.-A family of four was
wiped out by blows from an axe in
their home in the German settlement
of Blue Island, suburb.
The victims were:
Jacob Neslesla, 72 years old, street
sweeper.
Mrs. Anna Neslesla, wife of Jacob,
65 years old.
Mrs. Martha Mansfield, "a years
old, daughter of above.
Two-year-old daughter of Mrs.
Mansfield.
Search For Husband.
Bloody finger prints on the axe
handle were photographed. Search
was instituted for William Mansfield,
husband of Martha, who is alleged to
have deserted her year ago, and for
Michael Cherewinki. The latter was
compelled to vacate the Neslesla
house three weeks ago by the landlord
in order to make way for the new ten
ants. He is said to have uttered
threats against the landlord and
Neslesla.
Mansfield has not been seen in Blue
Island since he left his wife.
The. stiffened bodies and the blood
stained AKA alone remained to outline
the story when the crime was dis
covered by neighbors.
Whether the butchery was the work
of maniac or of person seeking
revenge was not disclosed in the first
cursory investigation. 1t was learned
that the young mother of the infant
had been living away from her hus-
band and for some time.
Death With Each Blow.
The murder, according to Benjamin
Knirsch, chief of police of Blue Island,
proceeded with great deliberation.
Each swing Of the axe apparently car
ried death with 1t; death without even
groan to arouse others sleeping In
the house. Each of the slain was
struck in the head.
Neslesla slept in a front bedroom
on the first floor of the little frame
dwelling. In the attic the two women
and the infant had their beds. The
axe was found near these beds, indi
eating to the police that Neslesla was
the first victim.
Nothing was taken from the house
1t was the home of laborer and the
few trinkets the inmates boasted were
of slight value.
The crime was discovered by Jacot
Neslesla, Jr., son of the old couple
living in another part of Blue Island
He is a track laborer and went to the
home of his parents, which is near the
tracks, to get pail of water. He sait
he found the back door open and thai
he called to his mother several timei
before he entered Then he found the

Boys Achieve Their Right,

And more. Scouting has proviu-
ed means whereby the boy may
be treated not as a boy who some
day will be a citizen, but as a citi-
zen now. It has pointed a way-a
pleasant way-fOr him to function
in any community, taking an active
and responsible part in community
affairs. In some cities where pub
lie officiaIsshave taken the pains to
assume asfriendly cooperative at
titude toward Boy Scouts. the boys
have ceased to be a miSchief-prob-
lem and have turned guardians of
public property, protectors of the
weak, friends OF the needy, cOmpe-
tent assistants of the authorities in
times of disaSter-and they have
had more fun doing good than they
had before doing mischief Some
State authorities, too. have sensed
this bOy-poWer as an aid in worthy
cause which they seek to promote,
and have found the Scouts eager to
help. 1t all means that through
Scouting the boys of America are
coming into their own; are. achiev-
ing their right to be treated, not as
pests to be suppressed, but as citi-
zens to be encouraged. Having
more time than adults have for pub
lie service, and greater enthusiasms,
the boys are enabling public officials
and others to accomplish more for
the public good than ever before.
And more. Scouting is enabling
the boy, by its wonderful system of
merit badges, to satisfy his inquisi-
tive nature; to learn what he other
wise might live in ignorance of
throughout-the fundamentals of
various features of science, bust
ness, industry. etc.-having also at
the same time a means of express
ing himself--a thing so sorely need
ed in the life of every boy.-Scout-
ing.

This New Medicine
Saves You Money

We are druggists right here in
your town and make a living out of
the drug business, but it is because
people have to have drugs and not
because we ike to see people suffer
we don't. Our duty is to render
the best service we can, and wheG
someone is ailin9, we are interested
in seeing them take the best medi.
cine there is for their particular
trouble. We don't recommend
"cure-alls," as we don't believe
there are such things. We don't
want you to spend more than you
have to. Some of you get small
wages, and when you're sick, none
at all, and you should get the most
you can for your money.
We recently came across a new
remedy for increasing strength and
building up people VINO are run
down and emaciated. We know
that a slight trouble sometimes
grows in,o a serious one, and to
slop it IN the bcginnind, viii save
you money IN The end. This new
compound is called Rexall Olive
Oil Emulsion. Il is the best RENE
dy when you are rundown, tired
out, UeTVouS-nO matter what the
cause. 1t doesn't merely stimulate
you and make you feel good for a
few hours, but takes hold of the
weakness and builds you up to a
healthy, normal condition. 1t is a
real nerve-food tonic and builder of
of good blood, strong muscle, good
digestion. 1t contains Hypophos-
phites, which tone the nerves, and
pure Olive Oil, which nourishes the
nerves, the blood and the entire
system. Pleasant to take. Con.
tains no alcohol or habit-forming
drugs. We promise that if you are
not perfectly satisfied with it, we'll

MORE PAPER BAG COOKERY.

Tomatoes Baked in Small Paper
Rags.-Wash the tomatoes, lay them
in creased paper bags. 1t is nice to
allow a bag for each tomato and
serve them in the bag. Bake in
moderate oven for twenty minutes.
They should be tender, without being
broken. The flavor of tomatoes baked
this way is so much better that it is
worth trying
Stuffed Onions.-Parboil sufficient
number of medium-sized onions for the
meal, put them into cold water, drain
and, when cold, remove the centers.
Fill the onions with savory stuting
or chopped ham, or nuts or bits of saul
sage; anything that will make a stuff
fing of sufficient favor. Place in a
buttered bag with a little water and
butter, and bake for three-quarters Of
an hour. Remove from the bag to a
hot vegetable dish, sprinkle with salt
and pepper and serve with the sauce
from the bag poured around them.
Baked Potatoes.-Parboil for ten
minutes a sufficient amount of pota-
toes for the family, then place in q
buttered paper bag with a few table
spoonfuls of butter Bake for half an
hour, then tear open the bag, sprinkle
with parsley and serve from the bag,
placed on a platter. Salt should be
added to the potatoes before putting
them in the bag. The flavor of pota-
toes baked in this manner is really
surprising to those who have never
eaten them.
A fish steak may be stuffed and laid
in a paper bag and baked, making a
most elegant dish.
Liver, previously parboiled and
cooked in a paper bag, would never be
recognized as the same dish which we
so often serve on our tables. Lay the
bacon in the bag, and on these pieces
of calf's liver, which have been well
scalded in boiling water, season and
fold the bag; lay on the rack in hot
oven and bake for twenty minutes or
until the bag is a golden brown. Slide
the bag of on hot platter and carry
to the table before opening.
Pigeons, squads and small game are
delicious baked in paper bags. Stuff
wild duck, after parboiling, with a
bunch of celery or an onion, and put
into the buttered bag. Bake In a hot
oven for twenty to thirty minutes.

two Golden Days"

One of these days is yesterday
Yesterday, with all its cares and
frets, with all its pains anl aches,
all its faults, its mistakes and
b!unders, has passed forever be-

cannot unsay a word that | said
yesterday. All that it holds of my
life of wrongs, regrets and sorrow, is
in the hands of the Mighty Love

bitterest desert-the love that can
make the wrong things right, that
can turn weeping into laughter,
that can give beauty for ashes, the
garment of praise for the spirit of
heaVlneSs, joy of the mornin. for
the woe of the night.
Save for the beautiful memories

its burdens, its,perils, its large prom
Use and poor performance, its fail
ures and mistakes, is as far beyond
the reach of my mastery as its
dead sister, yesterday. 1t is day
of Gods. Its sun will rise in rose
ate splendor, or behind a mask of
weeping clouds. But it will rise.
Until then, the same love and
patience that hold yesterday and
hold tomorrow. shining with tender

day of grace. All else is in the safe
keeping of the Infinite Love that
holds me for the treasure of yester-
day. The love that is higher than

Gods day. 1t will be mine.
There is left for myself, then but
one day of the week-todsy. Any
man can fight the battles of today.
Any woman can carry the burdens
of just one day. Any man can re

measured out to us by the Infinite
Wisdom and Might that gives with
them the promise, AS thy day, so

add the burdens of those two awful
eternitieS-yesterday and tomorrow
such burdens as only the mighty
God can sustain that we break
down. 1t is the remorse for some
thing that happened yesterday, the
dread of what tomorrow may dis
close.
These are Gods days. Leave

That is the easy day. That is the
