People who don't know about food
should never be allowed to feed per
sons with weak stomachs.
Sometime ago a young woman who
lives in Me. had an attack of scarlet
fever, and when convalescing was per
mitted to eat anything she wanted.
Indiscriminate feeding soon put her
back in bed with severe stomach and
kidney trouble.
There stayed" she says, three
months, with my stomach in such CON
dition that could take only few tea
spoonfuls of milk or beef juice at 3
time. Finally Grape-Nuts was brought
to my attention and asked my doc
tor If might eat it. He said, yes
and commenced at once.

one ought to eat, but still continue
to eat Grape-Nuts at breakfast and
supper and like it better every day.
Considering that could stand only
a short time. and that glass of water
seemed so heavy am fully satisfied
that Grape-Nuts has been everything
to me and that my return to health
is due to 1t.

Grape-Nuts did for me and in every

in building materials, which has many
points to commend it to the average
farmer.
The row of windows at the top ex-
tending the full length of the building
is feature worthy of attention,
writes H. H. Gould in Farmer and
Breeder. There lis no better disin-
fectant for q hoghouse, no more effi-
cient destroyer Of disease germs
known, than plenty Of bright sunlight
Plenty OF sunshine is better and
cheaper than buying medicine for the
hogs.
Fresh air is also an essential fea-
ture Of any well-constructed hoghouEe.
Every farmer knows how soon the air
In the ordinary pig shed becomes foul
when filed with hogs. Hence to in
sure healthy hogs some provision for
ventilation must be made. This is
provided for in the plans shown by
the four ventilators, two on each side,
In addition to the ventilation secured
from the side windows and doors.
These ventilators are especially yalu-
able during the cold weather in the
winter when the doors and windows
are closed for protection from the
cold.
The outside dimensions of this house
are % by 26 feet. It contains ten sep
arate pens each 6 feet z inches by z
feet 9 inches in the clear, with an
alley feet 9 inches wide running the
full length Of the building between
the two rows of pens.
There is an outside door at each end
OF the alley. Then door opens out
ward into the alley from each pen, SO
that the hogs may be separated and
shipped from one pen to another with
convenience inside the building.
Each pen is also supplied with an
outside door SO that separate runs or
yards may be built on the outside for
each. In decent weather this door
could be left open so that the pigs
could have the use of the outside run
and inside shelter at will.
Such a house is especially adapted
for brood sows during the farrowing
season. Each sow and litter can be
provided with separate pen and out
side run, until the pigs are old enough
to be together in large lot. The In

SOUTH AMERICAN PRESIDENTS.
Great Ignorance About Chief Execu-
tiyes of Southern Republics.

Unexpected events bring unexpect-
ed results, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
This axiom is true and applicable to
all conditions of life. So events often
reveal the depth of our Importance
along certain lines. "Where ignor-
,ance is bliss, tbs folly to be wise,''
has had a tremendous effect on the
rway we use and absorb our knowl-
edge. We have good old American
way of long standing of not paying
any attention at all to that which
does not directly concerN us in one
way or another We have been de-
nounced as "provincial' by our
friends across the sea, and thinking
Americans have felt the justice OF
the accusation.
Who, for instance, out of a group
of ordinary good Americans could
name at least five of the presidents
of the twenty republics to the south
of us? Not one in hundred may be
yentured as a safe proposition. Even
with the efforts of Pan-American
unions and chambers of commerce to
stimulate a knowledge of South
American affairs and personalities the
real knowledge we possess concern
ing the rulers of our sister republics
is very slight and very vague.
One of the unexpected" events that
occurred recently was the attempted
assassination of the president Of Ar
gentina. Now was good time to
see what Americans knew about the
president of Argentina. Several
Americans of above the average ac-
quaintance with current events were
approached.
"The president of Argentina?
Hugh--let me see-hanged if
know"
Argentina? Really, I didn't
know they had president down
there. Search me-1'm sure l don't
know. I don't even know how you
could find out even if you wanted to
know"
Ask yourself the presidents name.
Self-confession is good for the soul.
According to many philosophers, true
wisdom consists in knowing what you
don't know.
Why, the president of Argentina is
none other than Senor de la Plaza.
Never heard of him, YOU say. Well,
DR.. Victorino de la Plaza was elected
vice president on June -. 1910, and
succeeded to the presidency on the
death of President Pena on August 9,
1914. Dr. Hipolite Irigoyen succeed
ed him in office on October -. Dr..
Irigoyen refused to run at first for
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1916-11-09

the office of president, but when the
national convention of the Radical
party declined to accept his refusal
he accepted the nomination, and in a
hotly contested election defeated Dr..
de la Plaza. BY the way, the tlrst
representative of the rank of am
bassador to be sent to Argentina was
Frederic j. Stimson, who was receiv-
ed officially and with full military
honors in 1915.
In Argentina as we'll as in some
other South American countries there
are religious qualifications for the
presidency. 1t is necessary in Argen-
tina for the candidate to be Roman
Catholic, and must also, of course,
be an Argentinian by birth.
Presidents come and go rather rap
idly in some of the countries to the
south. Perhaps this is one of the
reasons why Americans have found it
confusing to keep up with the con-
tinual procession of presidents, pro-
visional governments, revolutions, in
surrections and rebellions. The elec-
tions are very hotly contested-far
more hotly than our presidential
campaigns. The Latin-American
temperament is very emotional, and
personalities are very often waged in
the presidential contests. -
Every government in the south has
been modelled in some form or other
on the government of the United
States. There are, to be sure, minor
points of difference, but the funda-
mental structure Of their govern
ments is the same as that of the Unit
ed States. There are two houses of
congress, one called the house of rep
resentatives and the other the cham
Der of deputies. The States are, as
in our government, represented in
the ClldulUSI VI uSputlCo oAO IiiS PSo
pie in the house of representatives.
The president is, under the constl-
! tuition, the executive, but he has in
general by no means the powers that
the president of the United States is
authorized to use. He has only nom
inal veto power, for the congress can
pass bill very rapidly over the pres
ident's veto.
The presidents of the other coun-
tries of South America from Brazil
down to the foot of Chile have also
to find a place in the American mind.
For instance, there is Brazil. The
president of Brazil is a senior, whose
name, but for the lack of two let
tiers, would be the same as that of the
country he heads. 1t is Senior Wen
ceslao Braz. Senor Braz was elected
on March | 1914. He has conducted
a most efficient administration and IS
we'll liked by the Brazilian public.
That long coastwise country OF
Chile has had in DR.. Ramon Barros
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1916-11-09

Luco and the man who succeeded
him very capable officials, according
to views held in Pan-American cir
cles. Don Juan Luis Sanfuentes sue
ceeded Dr. Luco and was inaugural
ed on December 25 of the past year.
He had the most elaborate inaugu-
ration ceremony in the history of the
republic of Chile. Special delega-
tions from the Surrounding countries
were present, and the diplomatic rep
resentatives, together with the mill
tary, made the scene the most strik-
ing inaugural ever witnessed. DR..
Sanfuentes will hold Office for five
years from the time of his inaugural.
The president of Colombia is Don
Jose Vincente Concha. Senor Concha
has long been active in Colombian
politics. He is a man of keen intel
lect and exerts a strong influence on
international relations. Colombia
still feels the injury over the loss of
Panama, for which she blames the
United States.
Down in Costa Rica the president
is Alfredo Gonzalez. Senor Gonzalez
was elected president on May s, 1914.
He has been rendering good service,
according to Pan-American authori-
ties. In his last message to congress
President Gonzalez devoted special
attention to the economic problems
that affected his country at the pres
ent tirae. He stated all prospects for
the future were bright, while the
country at present was enjoying
prosperity. international affairs at
Costa Rica were most satisfactory in
his view.
In Ecuador the president is Gen.
Leonidas Plaza. Generals seem to
be quite frequently presidents down
in South American. Gen. Plaza has
spent some time in the United States.
He lived for a few months down at
Belmar, N. j. This is his second ad-
ministration. The constitution for
bids the successive administrations
of the same man, but he may serve
! two terms if he is elected at different
! periods.
A new record for the absence of
revolution in Ecuador was set during
his first administration; the country
went for four years without a sign
of rebellion. However, as soon as
! General Plaza left office new insur-
rection took place in the north.
! Down in Haiti the president is an
other general. Gen. Orestes Zamor
occupies the presidential chair. He
has been quite active as politician
while attending to his military du-
ties, as most of the generals to the
south are.
/ In Mexico, Of course, there is no
president so Americans need not
