Spend Your Holiday
on a Western Ranch

Out in the ranch country of the
West, around Sheridan Wyoming, or in
the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming
where Buffalo Bill founded the town
of Cody, the practice has grown for
the good ranch people there to provide
for summer boarders and don't know
any more interesting and pleasurable
way of spending ones vacation with
the wife and children, than to go out
on one of those ranches, and ride and
fish for trout, (great fishing out there)
and eat good, plain, substantial food,
and sleep-myI how one does sleep
after days spent exercising in that
wonderful mountain air. This Ranch
Vacation" is q novel idea, but very
easy to accomplish, for I can tell you
all about what you can do and how
to do 1t and what 1t will cost and what
you can get and all about it. Just
write and let me suggest a plan for
you to follow. VIM. Austin, General

most distinguished appearing men in
til world, and while they didn't wish
to brag about their own children,
there certainly was something most
extraordinary and different from other
young people about their sons and
daughters.
Tradition ana custom have led us
to the belief that a wife and mother
can never get enough of her husband
and children. and that all the fun
and excitement that she wants in life
is just working for them and seeing
them enjoy themselves This is an
admiral BILE theory. The only trouble
with ii is that il isn't true. Nobody
not even mother, is that selfless We
all want something for ourselves, and
mother is no exception to the rule.
The Inevitable
No matter how much a woman
loves her huSband, she gets bored
stiff with his society IL she has il in
unbroken doses. There comes a day
when she loves sight of his virtues
and can see nothing but his faults
and peculiarities. and when she feels
that she would scream If she had 20
hear him tell over his pet story an
other time. 1t Is her hour of safety,
when she wonders what made her
marry him. and the price of railroad
fare to Reno.
No matter how much a woman wor-
ships her children. if she has to be
with them continually they fret her
nerves raw, and then comes an hour
when she has to smother an impulse
to keep from choking the baby in its
cradle, and the only person on earth
she envies Is an old maid in a bache-
lor apartment house where nothing
but cats are allowed.

Bottle-F I'd Fruit.

Bottle feeding is the latest wrinkle
in the growing Of the enormous winter
dollhouse fruit, and it has increased
the fruits size ,and sweetness so or
80 per cent. Peaches and pears are
like pumpkins; grapes and strawber-
ries like apples.
When a peach or a pear is young
and green and hard, the gardener
passes through it a needle and thread
Of coarse cotton, leaving both thread
ends sticking out. He does this till
eight or ten ends are obtained. These
ends he puts into bottles of sugar and
water syrup, and the syrup, flowing
along the cotton, is absorbed by the
fruit, sucked up by it-sucked up as
babes suck up milk-the fruit, in a
word. is bottle-fed.
