Dat woman she jest materially bust
If she don look out he said to Dicky
as he sauntered back toward the
woman.
Dicky was in high good humor as
he sank into his seat and began to
study the menu card "Just listen to

fully
But my conscience troubled me-
after all, Dicky, you can't blame
her." I said timidly. "She was there

Two Bags Alike.
''Nonsense!" Dicky returned, there
is no question of precedence where a
head waiter with a grin like that is
concerned. The only rule he knows
is the amount Of the tip that he
pushes down into his jeans
Here, George, take care of this for
me- He indicated as he spoke the
unlucky bag which had been the in
nocent cause Of his irritation with
me over our delayed luncheon.
The dusky waiter-Dicky always
calls every waiter George-stooped
for the bag, and I saw him thrust it
carelessly under serving table some
distance away.
Are you sure that is safe, Dicky?"
I protested. HE might easily get that
bag mixed with some other one

MAKING II Plain

The Pure Food and Drug Laws aim
to protect the public by preventing
mis-statements on the labels of prepa-
rations but some people continue to
accept ''extracts" of cod hve,:s think
ing they will get the benefits of an
emulsion of cod liver OIL.
The difference is very great. An
"emulsion" contains real cod liner ozZ
which has had the hearty endorse
ment of the medical profession for
many years, while an "extract'' is a
product which contains no oil and is
highly alcoholic.
Scott's Emulsion guarantees the high
est grade of real Norwegian cod kiver oil,
skilfully blended with g1ycerine and
hypophosphites. Scott's is free from the
false stimulation of alcohol and is en-
norsed by good physicians everywhere.

this story simply indicates that coop

SIMPLE WAYS TO SEAL SILO
Air Always Spells Some Of Silage Un-
less Feeding Is Begun at Once
Cover With Stalks.

In a good silo the contents are pro-
tected from TIE air on all sides eX-
ceDt the top. The air always spOils
some Of the silage on the top unless
feeding is begun as soon as the silo IS
flied.
Various methods for preventing this
waste have been tried. One is TO COW
or the silage with straw and then soak
this protecting layer we'll Wiz water.
This keeps out the air fairly well and
the waste is only slight. Another
method is 70 SOW oats on top Of the
siIage. When they terminate the
dense mass excludes the air.
The simplest and probably the most
practical method is TO remove the ears
from the last three or four loads OF
cornstaIks brought TO the ensilage cut
ter and then run just the stalks
through. In that way, the corn Itself
is no, wasted and the loss from the
! stalks is but slight
