A GOOD CHANGE.
A Change of Food Works Wonders

Wrong food and drink cause lot of
trouble in this world. To change is
first aid when a person is i'll, particu-
larly from stomach and nervous trou-
bles. AS an illustrations: A lady in
Mo. was brought around to health
again by leaving off coffee and some
articles Of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
For a number Of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until l was i'll
most of the time. About four years
ago left off coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along, but was SO re-
duced In flesh and so nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
Then changed my food and began
using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. / lived on these two princi-
pally for about four months. Day by
day l gained in flesh and strength UNI
til the nervous trouble had disap-
peared. l feel that l owe my health
to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband was troubled. for a long
time, with occasional cramps. and
slept badly. Finally prevailed upon
him to leave off coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared.
He never went back to Coffee" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereal-the original form
must be well boiled. 15c and Csc
packages.
Instant Postum-a soluble powder
dissolves quickly in q cup Of ho. wa
ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes
delicious beverage instantly. 3oc
and soc tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious and
cost about the same per cup.

come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache In

LAZY ANCESTORS OF
 OUR MODERN FOWLS
Industrious Hen of Today Lays 300 Eggs in Year, M..ile
 Jungle Bird Laid Twelve.
By c. s. ANDERSON. colorado)

By C. s. ANDERSON. Colorado)
 The jungle fowl, from which all our modern breeds of chickens have orig mated, laid from twelve to fifteen eggs a year when in it's wild and nat ural state. With years of selection. we have succeeded in developing from this iow-producing fowl type of bird the chief function of which is egg pro- duction. Our present-day Leghorns, and carefully selected fowls of several other breeds, lay close to 300 eggs an nually. and in the course of a lifetime more than a thousand.
 An average hen of the egg type breeds will lay in a years time five times her body weight in eggs. Tax ing the standard weight ofeggs as 24 ounces per dozen, this means an egg every three days during the year. To accomplish this the hen must consume nearly thirty times her body weight in feed.
 The hen also has a market value when she is no longer an egg producer. Comparing the total marketable prod Gcis returned for ito pounds Of digest ible matter consumed, the hen ranks second only to the COW among all our common farm animals.

F'rom Weekly Letter. United States De-
 partment of Agriculture)
 The dog in the country is a useful and pleasant adjunct to the farm if he is properly controlled and cared for, but when neglected may readily be- come a carrier of disease to stock, in addition to gaining opportunity to kill sheep and destroy gardens and other property. Dog ordinances, as a gen. eral rule, have been intended chiefly to curb the dogs power of doing harm by attacking, biting, killing or running sheep or stock. The part that he mals only recently has been recog- nized. according to the zoologists of the United States department of agri- culture, who believe that when this is better understood rural ordinances and laws which lessen this danger will gain the support of the community.
 Of the diseases carried to stock by dogs, the foot-and-mouth disease is probably of the greatest interest at this time. In this case the dog acts as a mechanical carrier of infection. The dog which runs across an infect ed farm easily may carry in the dirt on his feet the virus of this most con- tagious of animal diseases to other farms and thus spread the disease to the neighboring herds. In infected localities it is absolutely essential, therefore, to keep all dogs chained and never to allow them of the farm except on leash.
 There are, however. many other maladies in the spread of which the dog takes an active part. In Bulletin 2G0 of the department, The Dog as a Carrier of Parasites and Disease" 1t Is pointed out that rabies, hydatid. ringworm, fayus, double-pored tape worm. roundworm and tongue worm are often conveyed to human beings in this way It occasionally happens also that the dog helps fleas and ticks in transmitting bubonic plague or the deadly spotted fever.
 Hydatid disease is caused by the presence in the liver. kidneys, brain, lungs and other organs of a bladder worm or larval tapeworm- Bladder worms are often as large as an orange and may be larger. A dog which is allowed to feed on carrion or the raw viscera of slaughtered animals may eat all or part of bladder worm contain ing numerous tapeworm heads. These tapeworm heads develop into small segmented tapeworms in the intestines of the dog. The tapeworrns in tur1 develop eggs which are passed odt in the excrement of the dog. They are spread broadcast on grass and in

drinking water where animals can very well eat them and thus become infected. The hog is particularly liable | to this disease because of its roofing habits. The eggs may get into hu man food, and persons who allow dogs to lick their hands and face also run the risk of getting the eggs of the tapeworm in their systems.
 Prevention on tae farm consists in so restraining tho dog that he cannot get at carrion or raw viscera. Viscera should be boiled before being fed to dogs and should never be thrown on the fields. If not cooked and fed, wis cera and carcasses should be burned, buried with lime. or so disposed of as not to be accessible to dogs. Proper feeding of the dog is essential and the owner who does not feed dog prop erly has no right to keep one.
 The parasite which causes gid in sheep somewhat resembles the hyda. tid worm. A dog allowed to eat the brain of giddy sheep may swallow this parasite and later distribute the eggs of the resulting tapeworm over the pasture. Sheep while grazing swallow the eggs with the grass which they eat. In the case of sheep dogs it is important to administer vermi- fuges often enough to keep them free of these worms. In the case of sheep measles, the bladder worm in the meat. typical of this disease. is swal- lowed by the dog and again the tape worm eggs are passed by the dog to grass or water and there are eaten by sheep.
 Of the external parasites which dogs may carry to animals, fieas and the various kinds of ticks are both troublesome and dangerous. The remedy is clear. The owner must keep his dog clean, not merely for the comfort and happiness of the dog, but to prevent it from becoming a carrier of disagreeable and dangerous vermin.
 These reasonable measures. impor- tant to the stock on the farm, have direct connection with the health of the family. Where ringworm or other skin diseases break out among the children. or the worm parasites devel- op, it is well to determine whether dirty or uncared-for dog may not be carrying infection on his skin or hair, or be conveying disease from carrion directly to the food and persons of his friends. Even if no one is infected with disease. the folly of allowing a dog to remain dirty and have the free dom of a home where personal clean Illness and hygiene are respected is ap parent.
