SOMETHING MORE THAN "T0Y"
Quaint Old Legend Having to Do With
Pillow Is Peculiarly Appropriate
Just Now,

There Is a quaint old legend Of Al
SAGE, recalls the Christian Science
Monitor, concerning family of giants
who. once upon time; lived In GER
tain castle In the old country. The
moral Of the story seems appropriate
at a time when the French minister
of agriculture Is making special ef-
fort to encourage the cultivation Of
land.
The giants lived, says the legend,
far from the peasants Of the plain and
one day the daughter Of the house.
who though quite child, was already
thirty feet high, strolled toward a
plain and saw laborer peacefully
blowing his fields. She picked up the
peasant, the horse and the plow and
put them In her pinafore and returned
to the castle to show what she had
found to her father.
"What you think Is but q toy" said
the giant, us what produces the food
which enables us to live. Put back
the laborer and his horse where you
found them" From that time onward,
adds the tale. the peasants were never
molested by the giants.

FARM
ANIMALS
COLD RAINS INJURE HORSES
Exposure Of Young Animals to Severe
Weather Causes shrinkaoe and
Retards Development.

The exposure of young horses to
the short spells Of severe weather
which occur frequently during the fall,
causes shrinkage In live weight and
is hindrance to rapid economical de-
velOpment. Older horses seem to stand
this sort Of treatment with less loss.
1t Is doubtless true that animals be-
come accustomed to winter weather,
but frequent changes from fine fall
weather to bad storms retard gains in
colts without shelter.
Four yearling Percheron f1llies with
an average weight Of 1,169 pounds on
pasture, with a ration of six pounds of
corn and oats (one-half Of each by
weight) daily shrunk an average Of 80
pounds each during the spell Of severe
weather on October 10 to 20 at the Uni
versity of Missouri. Aged mares in
foal, lost only slightly during the same
period.
inexpensive sheds which will protect
colts from wind, rain, sleet and snow
will prevent part OF such loss in
weight. Growing horses should not be
housed too closely and prevented from
taking plenty of exercise, but they
should not be subjected to extremely
bad weather If they are expected to
make satisfactory growth.

Exit the Raw Eqq.

One of the latest anathemas of med
zeal erudition is heaped upon the head
of the hitherto considered benign raw
egg. Its sin, according to the New
York Medical Journal. Is chiefly plain
cussed worthlessness. The Medical
Journal goes on to say that the raw
egg white leaves the stomach I'M
changed and only feebly stimulates
the flow of gastric juice. Cooked egg
white, however. calls forth generous
flow Of gastric juice and readily unites
with the hydrochloric acid. In addi-
ton raw egg white leaves the stomach
much too rapidly. It is the only pro-
tein which acts In this peculiar way
the only one to leave the stomach I'M
changed. However. in spite Of these
multifold iniquities, raw egg white"
concludes the medical journal, us not
really harmful, but it must be remem-
bered that in keeping with newer find
ings it must be cooked"

Piano PIayino,

NO instrument has such a vast lit
efature, as rich and voluminous, as
the piano, and more people are teach
ing and studying it than any other
instrument. The reason that, in spite
of its popularity, there are onlv few
VINO play 1t we'll and artistically is
that the majority of people consider
piano playing more as means of

than as a medium with which it is

DIZZINESS IS ANNOYING
AS Many Middlebury People Know Too
Well.

When the kidneys are weak or dis
ordering, they fall behind in fltering
the blood of poisons. As these poi
sons attack the nerves, the result is
felt in spells of vertigo, Just as drunk
enness will make a man dizzy from the
poisoning of alcohol. Dizziness, head
ache, backache and irregularity of the
kidney secretions are all signs of weak
or disordered kidneys and should not
be neglected. Use Doan's Kidney
Pills, the home-endOrsed kidney RENE
dy. Read this Middlebury residents
statement:
Mrs. Peter Stone, 70 Seymour St.,
says: "I think overwork caused by
kidneys to become disordered and my
back to ache. Ny back was lot of
trouble to me, there being a dull,
steady ache in it, which changed to
sharp, shooting pains when I stopped.
My back would sometimes get stiff
and when I stopped, it was hard for me
to straighten up. My kidneys were
sluggish. Dizzy spells came on and at
these times l had to stop whatever 1
was doing. I got Doan's Kidney Pills
at SheldOn's Drug Store and they al
ways benefited me-"
