EVER SALNATED BY
 CALONEL? HORRIBLE!
CaiOmel Is Quicksilver and Acts Like Dynamite on Your
 Liver

Calomel loses you day. You know what ealomel is. It's mercury quicksilver. CalOmel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dyPa- mite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks the bones and should never be put into your sys- tenn
 When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of danger ous caIomel just remember that your druggist sells for fifty cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It is guar anteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and cannot salivate.
 Don't take calomel. It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and don't gripe.-Adv.

CHAPTER xI.
Behind the Mosque.


 Colonel Desdnn rode through Sidi. bel-Abbes, and many of those he passed looked after him. One or two of his observers were soldiers wearing a red and blue uniform of the Legion. They saluted first and grimaced only after a cautious interval
 Nom dun Petardi Will the devil never grow old7"
 Women looked after him-Arab women from behind mysterious Ieils, and EurOpeans-all with the same fem mine interest in what is strong. For Colonel Destinn sat his horse with grace and ease, and the slight erect figure carried the years lightly. How many the years were no one knew.
 Thus he rode slowly through the pleasant shaded avenues, skirting the nigger quarter, till he reached the plateau There he drew rein. his keen eyes sweeping the low girdle of olive trees and clustering native novels to the far side, where the mosque rose up in stately purity against the turquoise sky. Through the graceful archway a double line of Arabs drifted backward and forward in a soft-howing, un- broken stream of worship, and sudden ly Colonel Destinn set spurs and gal loped over the hard clay, scattering the stragglers to right and left

 She turned with a little start of sur prise. and freeing herself from the cumbersome red slippers which en- cased her infdel feet, she came to meet him, her hand outstretched in gracious welcome

comparatively coarse qualities of the Jack, mule mares should have refine ment and quality Heavy draft mares are not as desirable as those which have some hot blood from the lighter breeds, such as standard bred or thor Dughbred. Too much refinement will produce undersized mules, which are not as salable for remunerative prices, The body of the jack has a tendency to angulsrity, and therefore he should be mated to mares of square, smooth form to overcome this tendency.
 In order to raise colts, the average farmer must either breed his wos king mares or work his brood mares. The question which confronts the farmer is how to secure natural conditions for his mares while at work. The mare at work is just as well off for fresh air sunshine and exercise as the mare in the pasture, but the labor requires more energy and building mate rial in addition to that for body up- keep and development of the foetus. Furthermore. she is subject to fatigue and mechanical injuries, such as jerk ing. slipping, extreme speed and rough treatment The best way is to grad ually decrease the work so that dur ing the last few weeks of pregnancy the mare will be doing the lightest work. The majority of the foals are foaled in the spring, which is the natural time However, if mares are expected to do the seasons heavy work in addition to raising colt. the fall will be better time.
 A few days before foaling the grain rstion should be decreased and bran or linseed meal should be fed to act as a laxative and keep the bowels loose at this time. After foaling, the first feed may be bran. and this may be followed with oats or equal parts by bulk of corn and bran, feeding a light feed for the first ten days.
 There are two active causes of death in young foals. One is due to impaction in the bowels because of failure to receive sufficient colostrum, or first milk. and If this be the case, the colt should be given tablespoon ful of castor oil and a warm water injection. The other cause is due to navel infection before the navel heals lover. Give plenty of clean, dry bed ding and dip the stump of the navel cord in saturated solution of boric acid, which will prevent infection.
 The feeding of the colt should be- gin as early as possible, as the foal makes more than half of it's entire growth during the first year. For bone and muscle forming feeds, blue grass pasture and oats has no supe- rior. Corn, barley, kafir. etc, may be fed if properly balanced with legume hays, which have lime for bone growth.
 While the mare is at work the foal should be locked up in a good box stall or yard. where it cannot hurt it self. While the foal is real young, the mare should be brought in in the middle ,pf the forenoon and afternoon to allow the foal to suck. If the mare is warm and fretting, milk out part of the milk, as it will injure the foal. especially if the mare is not brought In until noon.

GROWING ANIMALS ON THE

No. s. Growing Horses and Mules. By H. A. Sandhouse. Assistant Profes- sor of Animal Husbandry, Uni

By H. A. Sandhouse. Assistant Profes-
 sor of Animal Husbandry, Uni
 versity of Arkansas.
 The breeding of horses and mules is generally considered as side issue in general farm practice, more so than in breeding any other class of stock. The majority of farmers raise only few colts each year. the number de- pending somewhat on the number of animals used and the nature of the work required of the mares at foaling time. Even though we are living in what might be termed the motor age. there is still great demand for good farm and heavy draft horses, which should be an incentive for the farmer to breed more and better horses. The mule is especially adapted to South ern conditions, having a greater re- slstance to heat, and they are hardier. more docile and sure-footed than the horse.
 In selecting breeding animals the average breeder generally selects his brood mares from his best farm work  mares. The brood mare should have refined and mRtronly appearance, and still have sufficient capacity for Inc foetus as shown by large, deep ribbed body. Since most of the mares are grades, the relative influence of Sire and dam is apparently in favor or the sire.
 The grade sire may possibly have good appearance, but, coming from mixed breeding of unknown ancestry, Is hard to determine what his colts VIII resemble. The pure bred will Improve his offspring as the tendency IS to produce animals like the sire
 The characteristics of the mule mare should be emphasized, since the mule inherits much of it's form from the mare. She should have size, weight and good conformation. Be- cause of the generally recognized

 isfactory Proof of "Why God Permits
 Evil"
 One of the questions which comes t0 nearly every thinking mind today Is. "Why does God permit evil?" As we look about us in the world we observe that 1t is filled with sorrow and trouble. sickness and pain and every trial we could enumerate. and we cannot help wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS IT. We realize that He Is almighty and that He could prevent it if He wished We read in Ills Word that He is more willing to do for His children than are earthly phrents for theirs. and we know how much that means; yet of tentimes 1t seems that those who try to do and live right have the most trouble. This question is made very clear in book entitled. 'The Divine Plan of the Ages Every statement Is backed by Scripture, and shows that while God does not sanction evil HE HAS HAD A PURPOSE IN ALLOW ING SIN AND DEATH TO REIGN THESE SIX THOUSAND YEARS. This and many other subjects of deep interest to all of Gods people are dis cussed fully and in language easy of comprehension
