MEALS WILL FIT!
NO INDIGESTION,
GAS OR AC|D|TY
Eat without fear of sourness,
heartburn, belching or
dyspepsia.
The moment "Pape's Diapepsin' -
reaches the stomach all
distress goes.

II your meals don't fit comfortably.
or you feel bloated after eating and
you believe 1t is the food which fills
you; If what little you eat lays like a
lump of lead on your stomach; if
there is difficulty in breathing after
eating, eructations of sour, undigested
food and acid, heartburn, brash or a
belching of gas, you can make up your
mind that you need something to stop
food fermentation and cure indiges-
tion.
To make every bite of food you eat
aid in the nourishment and strength
of your body, you must rid your
stomach of poisons, excessive acid and
stomach gas which sours your entire
meal-interferes with digestion and
causes so many sufferers of dyspepsia,
sick headache, biliousness, constipa-
ton, gripping, etc. Your case is no
different-you are a stomach sufferer,
though you may call 1T by some other
name; your real and only trouble is
that which you eat does not digest
but quickly ferments and sours, pro-
ducing almost any unhealthy condi-
ton.
A case of Pape's Diapepsn will cost
fifty cents at any pharmacy here, and
will convince any stomach sufferer five
minutes after taking single dose
that fermentation and sour stomach is
causing the misery of Indigestion.
No matter if you call your trouble
catarrh of the stomach, nervousness or
sastritls, or by any other name-al-
ways remember that instant relief is
waiting at any drug store the moment
you decide to begin its use.
Pape's Diapepsin will regulate any
out of order stomach within five min
utes. and digest promptly, without any
fuss or discomfort all of any kind of
food you eat.-Advertisement.

Warren opened the door with a
latch key and they stepped inside and
looked around the empty apartment.
Helen had left the place closed up and
the chairs were shrouded in linen COW

The room was strewn with the re-

another girl were sitting with Mary

at Mary reproachfully.

The one-piece frock or the dress made
with bodice and skirt joined by means of
a belt, makes notable feature of the
autumn fashions. This one is smart
in its lines, yet absolutely simple
and practical. 1t can be worn both
upon the street and within doors.
The fronts of the bodice are laid
in one plait each and the fronts
of the skirt also are plated, so that there
are continuous long lines. The inverted
plait at the back of the skirt is one of the
very latest innovations, or revivals. In
the illustration. Joffre blue gabardine is
trimmed with collar and cuffs of white
broadcloth and the broadcloth on the
gabardine makes an exceedingly good
effect. The patch pockets that are ar
ranged over the belt are interesting.

TREATS PUPILS AS
HIS BEST FRIENDS
Farmland Hero in Herbert
Quick's Novel Becomes School
TeaCher-ChiIdren Aid Him.

In Herbert Quick's farm novel, 1.-THE
Brown Mouse the Farmland hero
becomes school teacher, and pro-
ceeds to teach without any respect for
cultural traditions. He treats the pu-
pills as friends and associates. He
regards his school as sort of labora-
tory in which the children help him
work out practical problems of their
own homes and farms.
He doesn't make them sit stiff and
silent for hours at time AS his bust
ness assistants, they are free to move
about and consult him and each other
like men in an Office. There's a low
disturb anybody, because everybody is
intensely interested in what he's do
ing.
The boys and girls flock to school
an hour before the bell rings, with
samples of grass seed and corn smut
and insect specimens and things, and
they can hardly be driven home when
school closes. They are not crammed
with book learning. The usual text
books occupy minor place in their
education. Their arithmetic examples
deal with such matters as the per-
centage of loss in a wheat crop based
on a given proportion of weed seeds
in the sown wheat, and the cow popu-
lation Of the township and the ratio
of butterfat to milk and feed. An es-
say on corn culture is valued more
highly than one on poetry. Reading
lessons are as likely as not taken
from farm journals. Geography is not
matter of maps, but live subject
connected with the food the children
eat and the clothes they wear and the
treasures in their pockets and the
crops in their barns-where every
thing comes from and goes to.
And book culture? They get that
too, as a sort of side issue. 1t comes
easily enough because their minds are
kept at such pitch of activity by
vital human interests they can pick
up in odd moments the formal facts
considered necessary. LET us cease
thinking so much about agricultural
education, and devote ourselves to
educational agriculture says Mr..
Quick. $50 will the nation be made
strong"
And isn't he right? Isn't agricul-
ture itself so big and all-embracing a
thing that it can be used in the coun-
try schools as a medium through
which the country boy and girl OBJ
tain mental training, a knowledge of
the world and genuine culture?
Shouldn't country children, instead
Of being crammed with artificial stuff
based on antiquated standards or city
standards, be treated frankly as ju-
venile farmers and farmers wives,
and be taught to love their work and
environment, and be prepared to live
intelligently and joyfully the life for
which they are destined?

SEVERAL D0N'TS ON
PRUNING TREES
Dull Tools Make the Work Harder
and Produce Rough Wounds
Handle Tree Gently.

Don't wear hobnailed boots when
pruning. In climbing about the trees
they readily injure the bark
Don't leave your pruning to the
hired man. The more you understand
your trees the better you will prune
them.
Don't use dull tools. They make the
work harder and produce rough
wounds.
Don't prune in frosty weather. Frost
bitten wounds are slow to heal.
Don't start all main limbs at the
same height. Weak crotches are the
results.
Don't leave stubs in cutting off
limbs. They rot back and cause decay
in the trunk.
Don't let suckers grow. They are
worthless and draw upon the trees
food supply.
Don't leave the larger wounds bare.
Apply good white lead paint or cover
with grating wax
Don't slit the bark, bore holes or
drive nails into the tree. They only
offer places of entry for fungous dis
eases
Don't use a Ratchet for removing
suckers. The Ratchet is not a tool
for scientific pruning
Don't handle the tree roughly. 1t is

pay careful reatment-Indiana Elk

FERTILIZING PEAR
TREES IS COMPLEX
Most Careful Consideration and
Judgment Required in Sup
plying Stimulating Food.

The use of fertilizers in pear culture
requires most careful consideration
and judgment. Lands naturally fertile,
viz, loamy soils so common in prairie
regions, cleared forest lands and
clayey soils having mari in their COM
position should not be enriched. Till
able lands that will grow a good crop
of corn are sufficiently fertile for the
pear tree.
When the pear orchard begins to
lose it's vigor from continuous fruit
crops light surface dressing of wood
ashes or well-rotted stable manure
may prove beneficial. AS long as the
trees maintain a normal healthy
growth they require no stimulating
food.

GROW HARDY ROSES

The season of bloom of the hybrid

intelligent cultivation and a proper
selection of varieties. The sturdy
bushes should carry their beautiful
flowers way into the fall We have
come to think of roses in the fall as a
delusion and a snare, excepting, of
course, the hybrid teas, which have
SO long been regarded in America as
the only everblooming roses. There
are, however, good dozen and half
that can be relied upon to give a Sec
ond crop of bloom and be thing of

The Frau Karl Druschki one of the
very best and most popular plants

hardy rose culture than any other

itself to almost any soil, and stands

FERNS EASY TO RAISE
BY /. M. BENNINGTON.

BY :. VT. bENfHIINO ON.
The ordinary way to propagate this
class of plants is by dividing the
plant. by the creeping rhizomes, by
the little bulblets that form on the
fronds and by the seeds or spores that
appear on the underside of the leaves.
The enterprising fern lover will find
it most interesting to propagate by
spores and perchance produce really
valuable addition to these beautiful

Procure a seed pan or box with
plenty of drainage holes, and cover

DAMPEN CORN WHEN
PUTTING INTO SILO
Always Better to Use Too Much
Water Than Not Enough When
Crop Has Been Frosted.

If the corn crop has been badly
frosted and is in dry or semidry state,
it should be dampened as it enters the
silc. 1t is always better to get too
much water than not enough.
1t is common practice to allow a
stream of water to enter the blower or
elevator as the corn is being cut, but
it is claimed better practice to wa
ter the corn when on the wagon; how
ever, it is very little good to pour the
water on top of the silage after the
silo has been filled.
