PARTRIDGE COCHIN BANTAMs

Twenty four to 26 ounces for hens and 2S to 30 ounces for males are the standard weights on Partridge Cochin Bantams. Contrast these with the stan dard Partridge Cochfns,. weighing to .91a pounds for females and to II pounds for males, and you will see what selec- tion and breeding win do for poultry
 Many people have for a hobby the breeding of these bantams. and compe- tltion for prizes in the larger poultry shows is keen. They make attractive pets, requiring very limited space, little feed and just enough care to afford pleasurable exercise.
 These are the most richly colored of all cochin bantanls. The neck back and

 As proof of this, take tho case of pr. James Louis Beyea. who for fifteen years was Adjunct Professor in the New York Homeopathic Medical College. At nearly 30 years o{ age. pr. Beyea was very much weakened and rundown. He made up his mind to renew his vital energy and i'll his veins with more youthful vim and vigor.

The Mouth and the Stomach

pr. ". H. Vail. in the Christian World.
 Let us elaborate this chemical feature of the process of digestion We have four principal secretions. or liquids. that have to do with the digestion of our tric juice in the stomach, the pancrea tic juice from the pancreas and the bile from the liver. Chemically, the saliva Is alkaline, the gastic juice is acid, the pancreatic juice is alkaline and the bile is acid. Alkaline, acid, alkaline, acid. notice how they alternate. There is no dcuht in the world that this alteration of the alkaline with the acid juices in this process was wise provision of our Creator, and that each liquid was in tended to perform it's function in con- nection with the digestion Of the food which is ingested. Certainly. the first liquid secretad in the mouth was not created alkaline. unless was intended that we should render all of our food alkaline, or semi i-alkaline before it en- ters the stomach.
 In this connection it Is most interest ing to recall the derivation of the name
 stonarht The word stomach is Ge- rived from the Greek word "stoma. /" which means ''mouth: and should you have inflammation of the mouth and consult your doctor, he would tell you that you had stonatitis, from the same word
 Now, how did the doctors come to give the name stomach to the organ located below the chest and diaphrag gm. when the word means "mouth?'' The reason is very simple. They thought the process of digestion began with the stomach, and If the process of digestion began in the stomach, the name would be appropriate; but the process begins in the mouth, and there is the crux of the whole business. There is where the trouble originates in connection with tho great majority of human ills We be- lieve, and act, as if it made no differ ence in what condition our food reaches the stomach, so that it gets there. We speak of ingesting our food most prop- erly, for ingest means to throw in, and that expresses exactly the manner In which our food enters our stomach--it Is thrown in helter-sk skelter. We take a pleasant morsel of food into our mouth, chew it once or twice. and then wash it down into the stomach with some tea. coffee, milk or water and expect the stomach to perform it's office as we'll as that of the mouth. doing double duty. The stomach refuses to perform the functions of both organs and I do not blame it.

Saving the Country's Waste

w. E. Aughinbaugh, in Leslie's.
 We buy seeds of all kinds from Eu-
 rope. Asia and Africa, while they grow
 wild in every vacant lot and parcel of
 ground throughout the land and are
 regarded by us as useless weeds. The agricultural department estimates that
 by taking advantage of these crops a
 saving of millions of dollars would re-
 suit. Most fruit seeds have commer. cial value, for the oils which may be
 extracted or for their chemical com ponents. Nobody fiji this country has awakened to this fact. The refuse from fish can be made into excellent fer tilizer and glue, while tho skins may be converted into high-grade leather. With but few exceptions these parts are discarded. Farmers clear ground for planting by burning tho timber thereon and by blasting out the stumps. In Europe this would be r6- garded as criminal. especially in the countries wherein the law compels q man to plant tfI es U .1s tor each ono he cuts down.
 As startling example of the great waste always going on in the United States let me cite the empty kerosine tin, which always finds it way to the dump heap outside of our cities. All over the world many uses are found lQI tnSSo 4lN C-6atiQA LII SdHc. III tIl0 orient. Africa, I4atin-America. the West and East Indies, the natives purchase them for innumerable purposes.

With one face removed and glass substituted therefor the can becomes a display box for grocery stores, or rice con- tainer. Cut diagonally in two 1t serves as dust pan.

Stomach Not Helped
ByArtificialDigeStents
Doctors Now Advise MagBesIa for Acid
Indigestion.

Just how foolish It is to indiscrimi-
nately dose the stomach with drugs
and medicines is often not realized un-
til too late. 1t seems so simple to
swallow a dose Of some special mix
ture or take pepsin tablets, or other
artificial digestents after meals, and
the folly of this drugging is not ap-
parent until perhaps years afterward,
when chronic dyspepsia has developed
or gastric ulcers have almost or en-
tirely eaten their way through the
stomach walls. Regrets are then un-
availing.
1t is in the early stages when indi-
gestion, dyspepsia. heartburn, flatu-
lence, etc. indicate excessive acidity
of the stomach or fermentation OF food
contents that precaution should be
taken.
In excessive acidity digestents are
unsuitable and nave little or no influ-
ence upon the harmful acid: that is
why so many are discarding them and
advising sufferers from Indigestion
and stomach trouble TO get rid of the
dangerous acid and keep the food con-
tents bland and sweet by taking a lit
tie pure bisurated magnesia instead.
Bfsurated Magnesia is a pleasant
harmless, antacid which can be readily
obtained from any drug store. 1t is
practically tasteless and a teaspoonfuI
taken in a little hot or cold water af-
ter meals, will usually be found quite
sufficient to instantly neutralize eN-
cessive acidity of the stomach and thus
relieve the distress to which IL is Civ
ing rise.-Adv.

act when effectively organized, and his

Commerce is the most efficient agency, as
shown by the work of the Chamber of

I'VE are not expecting any disaster
