Life is not merely to live, but
to live well, cat well, digest well,
work well, sleep we'll, look well.
What a glorious condition to
attain, and yet how very easy it IS
if one will only adopt the morning
inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when they
arise, splitting headache, stulfy
from a cold, foul tongue, nasty
breath, acid stomach, can, instead,
feel as fresh as daisy by open
ing the sluices Of the system each
morning and flushing out the
whole Of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick
or well, should, each morning,
before breakfast, drink a glass
of real hot water with a teaspoon
full Of limestone phosphate in it
to wash from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus

GETTING EGGS
IN THE WINTER

1t is mighty easy matter to say
make your hens lay in the fall and
winter when eggs are the highest; it
is quite another thing to have them in
laying condition at that time. If they
are not in laying condition they will,
of course, fail to lay. When we say
in condition to lay, we mean that they
are in the best of health, full in flesh,
etc Then it is up to us to feed so that
they will giveaus the coveted eggs.
In feeding d moderate sized flock it
is a good plan to do a little of what is
called "fussing around" with them.
See to it that they are comfortable in
every particular, and especially at
night during cool weather. See that
they have all of the green stuff they
desire, and of a good kind. See to
it that they are supplied with a good
wholesome variety of feed all down
the line. To get them started on the
good road it is a pretty good plan to
give them some Cayenne pepper in
This will stimulate the egg producing
organs and cause the eggs to grow
faster than they might otherwise do
When they commence to lay in good
shape this may be decreased gradual
ly from day to day until left out alto
gether.
There are many good feeds in the
grain line, such as cracked corn, oats,
Kafir corn, sunbower seed sorghum
seed in moderation and wheat when
it is not too high, that can be fed in
litter or as dry mash fed in a hop
per A good dry mash consists of
equalparts Of wheat bran and corn
meal, in equal parts, to which add
little salt, nd a tablespoonful of air
slaked lime to each dozen hens. Mois-
ten with just water enough to make it
stick together.
Another good thing to start egg pro-
duction is the addition Of little fine
ly sifted wood ashes-about two ta-
blespoonfuls to the dozen hens. These
til ings have been successfully used by
some of the best egg producers in
this country, Another good addition
to the daily round of feeding is parch
ed oats. Take whole oats as they
come from the threshing machine, put
in a bread pan and into the oven, stir
ring occasionally until we'll Drowned

. FOR RHEUMATIC MISERY

There is no place for rheumatic
pains and misery, if you will only fol-
low the advice of an old, experienced
physician. DR.. Levi Minard prescribed
and used Minard's liniment for sore
ness, stiffness, swelling and all rheu-
matte pains.
There Is no other remedy that can
take its place. 1t has never failed and
is perfectly harmless, economical,
agreeable and clean to use, as it is
absolutely stainless.
Minard's Eminent, obtained from
any druggist, is wonderfully soothing,
penetrating and effective In all cases
of strains, lumbago, sore joints, stiff
ness, sciatica and rheumatism.

to avail themselves Of the local mer-
chants willingness TO extend credit
and now that the local merchant is
facing graver calamity ana Il greater
pest than ever a farmer was obliged
to meet in the retail catalogue houses
methods of doing business would il
not be right and fair for the farmer
and every resident of the community
rallied to their aid in days gone by
with willingness only equaled by
his confidence in his customer and his
loyalty to his community?
When farmer fails the whole com
munity suffers, and the man who must
bear the brunt of the burden is the
local merchant. His capital Is invest
ed and his hope Of return rests with
the farmers ability to produce. If a
blight, drought, cyclone or pest
bugs destroy the crops the merchant
must make the best of it and carry"
the farmer for another season or until
he has good crop.
Loyalty is the greatest virtue that
man is endowed with. and the prac-
.ice of il now by residents of small
cities and towns in favor of the local
merchant whose business is endanger-
ed by the retail catalogue trusts would
be display of generosity manifested
only by men and communities where
the practice Of the Golden Rule obtains.

with the commercial side of the ques-
tion--the business failures.
Perhaps the most general and com
mon cause is lack of capital. Many
men venture into business with Just
enough money to swing the enter
prise for II month, at the end of which
time they expect the new business TO
be self supporting. 1t seldom is, and
MS the concern becomes II financial
cripple the inevitable is sure to happen
failure
Business Instinct Required.
1t may be said in passing that COM
blned with the first form of failure
there are two others, lack of business
instinct and business experience, And
these three are frequently augment
cd by another equally dangerous in
business. and that is engaging in a
business of which you have no knowl-
eye or experience in. No man can hope
to succeed in any line of business
where his principal qualifications are
assets and ignorance.
But without question the most pro-
nounced cause of business failure in
any line or in any community Is that
of lack of patronage. No business con-
Germ, professional man, church or
school can long endure without patron
age. Heavens eternal wisdom has de
creed that man should ever stand in
need OF man.
The beautiful must ever rest in the
arms of the sublime. The gentle need
the strong to sustain them, as much as
rock flowers need rocks to grow on or
the ivy the rugged wall which 1t EN-
braces. Patronage is the sustenance of
business, and without it failure follows
just us surely as death follows the rock
flower and the ivy when their support
is withdrawn.
Farmers Frequently Fail,
Listed among the business men who
frequently fail is the farmer, the
greatest producer of us all. He fails
for the same reason as do some of
our other business men-because Of
ignorance. Many OF these men have
been born and reared as farmers and
imagine that is all the qualification
necessary to follow that vocation. II
is not, Technical education, constant
study Of conditions elsewhere and a
full realization of the necessity OF
fertilization of his farm constitute
the first principles of the successful
farmer.
