the truth OF this statement. fnr IN the
discovery OF Plant Juice, and the conse-
auent use and benefits received by a rnrl-
titude who have suffered from stomach,
liver and kidney troubles, it has proven
itself a real friend to humanity.
The kind OF proof which is convincing
and that Is daily adding thousands to the
already great number who use Plant
Juice when IN a condition Of Ill health
are the statements OF local people who
have given It a fair trial and have been
greatly benefited thereby
Take. for instance, the statement Of
Mrs. Bertha Edwards, who resides at No.
1O1 Pennsylvania avenue, and is a we'll
known Washington lady. She said:

bad dizzy spells on account Of my liver

Already the influx of embryo reserve

quarters for them.
To make matters worse, the Third

A Strong Testimonial for Plant

Washington Lady.

Ostrich eggs weigh about three and one
quarter to five pounds. The eggs are laid
one every other day until twelve or thirteen
have been accumulated. Sometimes the
mother bird refuses to set in which case the
eggs are put in an incubator for the reason
that the male bird, which usually covers
them during the night, will not do SO unless
the mother covers them during the day
The eggs begin to hatch in about forty
days, and the chicks come out full fledged
and quite strong, standing about twelve
inches high. They arc covered with short,
stubby feathers, reminding one of bunch
of dark colored excelsior. For the first two
or three days the chick eats nothing but bits
Of gravel and she'll Then he begins on the
tender shoots Of alfalfa and other green
food.
The ostrich chicks grow very rapidly, in
creasing in size about foot month. Dur
ing this period they require great deal Of
attention and receive no care whatever from
the mother birds. During the incubation,
however, the mothers are very faithful,
covering the eggs during the hardest storms,
even if the nest, which is merely a hole
scooped in the ground, becomes filed with
water
The neck of an ostrich is wonderful part
Of its anatomy. The average length of the
neck is a little less than three feet An adult
ostrich, when in full swing, covers about
twenty-five feet at stride, and can easily
out-distance the fastest horse. Their gait,
both in running and walking, has peculiar
swinging roll which at first seems awkward,

but there is rhythm about 1t that is really
very graceful
The bill of an ostrich opens fully four
inches. and an adult ostrich makes no trouble
over swallowing an orange whole-a big
navel orange, with diameter of three and
one-half inches. Moreover, an ostrich will
catch these oranges as fast MS they are tossed
to him, swallowing them one after another
until you can count ten or twelve hugo
globes slowly rolling down the long neck

are almost equally fond of sugar beets, and
quickly snap up rectangular chunks meas
uring from three to four inches and dspos-

oranges.
The old saw about ga stomach like an
ostrich" is not altogether beside the mark,
for the ostrich will cat literally anything,
including nails and glass; They demand
large quantities of gravel or other gritty
substances, and are given regular ration
OF broken bone and shell every noon
The ostrich eats nearly as much as q cow.
1t is therefore no small matter to provide
provender for hundreds OF ostrches T'nev

several pounds day. They are also given
large quantities of such vegetables as car
