THE VALUE Of TRUTH

Truth in business is just asimportant
as truth in everyday life; truth creates
confidence, establishes goodwill and

because they are untarnished, unex-
aggerated truisms about a household
remedy of real and actual worth.
The popularity of SCOTS Emulsion
is increasing as intelligence advances,

it continues to guarantee pure cod liver Gl

The ruffled grouse. called part
ridge in the northeastern states and
pheasant in some other parts of its
range, Is one Of our most widely
ranging game birds. It inhabits
wooded regions from Canada and
Alaska south to California, Colorado,
Tennessee and northern Georgia. 1t
Is usually Wild and wary bird and
well withstands the attacks of hunt
ers but 1t responds to protection in a
gratifying manner and has proved
to be we'll adapted to propagation
under artificial conditions. On account
OF these qualities and it's desirability
as game species it is good subject
for game farming.
Wild fruits, mast, and browse make
up the bulk of the vegetable food Of
this bird. It is very fond of hazel
nuts, beechnuts. chestnuts and acorns
and it eats practically all kinds Of
wild berries and other fruits. Various
weed seeds are also consumed. More
than ten per cent of the food consists
Of insects, about half Of which are
destructive beetles.
