Gray Mouse was made quite un-

She had noticed how large and un-

frog, and how fiat his mouth, and she
said to herself: HE could not unite
knot with his fingers nor bite a
cord with his mouth, and if l could tie
myself to him he would never be able
to get away
so next day when the frog was
asleep in the sun she crept softly up
to his side, and with hair which she
had stolen from the tail of a horse
pastured in the field where she lived
she tied knot which bound the end
of her tail securely to the frogs hind

BIG EATERS HAVE BAD
KIDNEYS AND BAcKACHE
Take a Glass of Salts at Once If Your
Back Is Hurting or Kidneys and
Bladder Trouble You.

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trou-
BILE, because we eat too much and all
our food is rich. Our blood is filed
with uric acid which the kidneys
strive to filter out, they weaken from
overwork, become sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and the result is
kidney trouble, bladder weakness and
a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like humps
of lead; your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night; If you suffer
with sick headache or dizzy. nervous
spells, acid stomach, or you have rheu-
matism when the weather is bad, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine. This famous
salts Is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate clogged kidneys:
to neutralize the acids in the urine so
it no longer is source of irritation.

Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
ture, makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water beverage, and belongs in
every home, because nobody can make
a mis.ake by having good kidney

fox, "and will tell you story which

So the rabbit and the fox sought a

This story was first told centuries
ago, and has been repeated thousands
of times, but that affects neither it's
truthfulness nor the lesson which it

pool in a hole in the ground, there
lived a field mouse. The frog could
hop farther than any of his mates and
his croak was louder than that of any
other frog in the pool, and he was
generally looked upon as the leading
frog of the community. The mouse
who was known to her companions as
Gray Mouse, was very plain and very
quiet, and no one had ever known
her to take any particular interest in
anything or anybody until one day she
saw the frog and fell madly in love
with him.
'She told her family how handsome
he was, how green his back and how
shiny, and how white his vest was
and how far he could jump, and
above all, how musical his voics
sounded when just at nightfall he let

Her family, realizing how ill-matet
would be the frog and a mouse
frowned very much upon her affection
and used every influence to keep he
from loving the frog, and even threat

There are several pretty ways of
trimming tho hair of little boys and
girls, and of managing that of larger
girls in way to take the best posi-
BILE care Of it. But none of them is
quite so popular as the bobbed hair,
which is equally pleasing on boys or
girls that are little, or the braided
hair for larger girls, as shown here.
Those who trim the locks of the lit
tie ones make some variations in the
bobbed haircut, to suit the individual.
Sometimes the bang is longer and
sometimes the hair at the sides, natu-
rally wavy or curly, is cut a little long
er so that it curves about the ears.
Occasionally a side part suits the style
of the youngsters face particularly
well, in which case the hair is
trimmed and trained to this style for
either boy or girl
On little girls from three to eight,
curls that hang almost to the shoul-
ders and fringe o ringlets about the
face make out so good a case for
themselves, on the score of becoming
ness, that they are always fashionable.
Then the hair bow of ribbon begins

and the matter of fostering the growth
of her hair claims the attention of her
mother. The hair loosely braided and
wrapped about the head is as practical
and pretty as any arrangement for
the girl of eight and upward, as can
be found
Unless the little miss has hair of
more than average length it will be
necessary to braid her ribbons in with
it, toward the ends of the braids.
This hairdress keeps the hair from be-
ing broken and roughened and allows
it to be easily combed.
To the end of her school days hair
ribbons are among the affairs of i'm
portance which engross the time of
the young girl. Just how versatile
she becomes anyone who observes will
learn. All sorts of bows worn in
all sorts of ways have their seasons
of popularity, and it is interesting to
note the amount of style which some
gifted misses manage to achieve in
making and wearing them.

Caring for Seed Corn.

If the kernels show weak, spindling
sprouts, or a part of them are very
weak and uneven, the ear should be
thrown out to make place for an ear
whose kernels give strong, vigorous
sprouts. Remember that the kernels
which are slow to sprout, and are
weak, will be behind the strong ones
in the field.
After the seed has been sorted, test
ed, shelled, and graded for the planter.
and the bad kernels removed, it should
be placed in half-bushel sacks and
hung up in dry place. Put in sacks,
separate from the rest, the seed from
the best 100 ears. When planting,
use the seed from ''the best 100 ears"
on one side of the field from which
to pick your seed corn for the next
years planting.
We cannot afford to neglect this i'm
portant work. If every farmer would
test every ear of his seed corn in the
winter in the way described above,
the yield would be wonderfully in
creased No other time will be so
profitable to the farmer as that spent
in testing the vitality of his seed and
in grading to insure the planter drop
ping the proper number of kernels
in each hill. 1t is possible for every
one to do this work. 1t will cost moth
ing but the time, of which there is
plenty at the season when the work
should be done.
