EASY LIFE FOR SILVER FOXES
Farmers in Canada Treat Valued Pets
Like Little Aristo-
Gratis.

Regina, Canada.-Silver foxes on a
ranch near here are epicureans and
live on the ia, OF the land. This need not
be wondered at. for silver foxes liter
ally are worth their weight in gold.
The little aristocrats are fed as ex-
pensiyely as guests in the best hotels.
The meat served them is kept in per-
fectly regulated refrigerator. 1t con-
sists of the choicest cuts of tenderloln
steaks and pork chops, with little
horse meat added by way Of variety.
The foxes have shredded wheat pre-
pared as carefully as it might he for
some wealthy and querulous Invalid.
Other breakfast foods. cereals and veg
etabIes pamper the appetites Of the lit
tie beasts.
The ranch is tightly fenced In with
wile eight feet high and sunk In the
ground several feet. The fox houses
are constructed on hygienic plans.
They are kept scrupulously clean.
The success of this fox ranch and OF
several others near Winnipeg has dem
onstated that the prairie provinces are
as well adapted to breeding silver foxes
as Prince Edward island, the worlds
center of the industry.
One rancher started two years ago
with two pairs. He now has Sc anil
mails He has sold $4,000 worth of
nelts. A silver fox pelt brings from
5000 to S2,50o. Two-year-old animals
sell Mt $500 TO $1,000. He sold eight

auction at 5000 apiece His breeding

HAVE YOU SCROFULA?.
Now Said to 30 as Often Acquired
as inherited.

It is generally and chiefly indicated
by eruptions and sores, but in many
cases it enlarges the glands of the
neck, affects the internal organs, es-
peeially the lungs, and if neglected
may develop into consumption.
1t causes many troubles, and is
aggravated by impure air, unwhole-
some food, bad water, too much heat
or cold, and want of proper exercise.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the medicine
that has been used with so much
satisfaction by three generations. is
wonderfully successful in the treat
ment of scrofula. Give it a trial.
II cathartic or laxative is needed,
take Hoods Pills,-there is nothing
better tor hiliousness or constipation.

LAXATlVES
If You Are Constipated and Have
Malaria In Your System
Read The Following

The only way to overcome constl-
patton and the resultant ills is to get
your liver in good working order. BY
taking just laxatives you do not touch
the liver. One man of our acquafn-
tance was sufferer from constipa-
ton for years. He had taken salts,
oil, pills and various laxatives until
his skin was like parchment. The man
actually looked twenty years older
than he was. He had gotten in such
shape that he never had natural
bowel movement and even the
various laxatives that he was using
had to gradually be increased to get
any effect.
He was never we'll and yet could,
if asked, point to no special illness.
He was a victim of general ills-all
caused from one trouble-if he had
but known it. 1t took only one bot
lie of PLANK'S BLOOD MEDICINE
to give this man a new lease on life
and after six bottles he is now as
fat, rosy and health as he was when
he was boy. The secret Of his Won
/ derful recovery is in the action of
this scientific preparation on the liv-
er and blood. He never takes a lax
ative now and the bowels are regu-
lar. The digestion is good. The In
ing of the stomach and bowels are
now able to absorb nourishment from
the food which had been passing out
of the body unassimilated.
This grave condition was due to
LAXATIVES which do not ASSIST
| NATURE, but instead sap the life
from the walls of the stomach and
! bowels.

is YOUR BABY THE
N PROPER WEIGHT?

DR.. Holt, the eminent baby spe-
cialist, says that baby's weight tells
very accurately how well it is thriv-
ing. He recommends, the first year at
least, keeping a weight chart. The
average baby weighs at birth to
1-2 pounds; three months, IL to 13
pounds; six months, f5 to 6 pounds /;
one year, 90 to % pounds.
If your baby isn't weighing what
it should, give it immediate attention.
The first place to look for the cause
of underweight is the stomach and
digestive, organs, if they do not func-
tion properly. baby's body is not
properly nourished. Symptoms of
poor digestion are usually sleepless-
ness, fretfulness, loss Of appetite,
constipation, diarrhoea and some
times a slight fever.
This condition may be easily corr
rected with good laxative, such as
Baby Ease" perfected prepara-
ton by a baby, specialist. The castor
laxatives have a tendency to irritate
and are too harsh for the delicate
membranes of baby's stomach. Baby
Ease" is easy-acting, non-irritating
does rot produce over-action or leave
baby constipated. 1t is a safe, harm
less and efficient laxative and correc-
tive for babies and children If you
see no improvement after few doses,
take baby to a physician. Ask your
druggist for "Baby Ease" y (adv)

MOSQUITO IS
POWERFUL ENEMY
Little Insect Takes Huge Toll
From Country

Scientists say that mosquitoes car
rying the deadly malaria and, other
disease germs are responsible for
more deaths than all Of the wars since
the beginning of time.
Their bite is often as deadly as a
rattlesnake's.
By every method known to man
kind both national and local health
services are trying to exterminate
them, but this will never be. We must
protect ourselves against this pest.
BY proper screening and by daily
spray of TORMENT the house can
be kept free of all mosquitoes. TOR
MENT is a gaseous vapor in which
no dangerous insect can live. IL is
death to insects but harmless to
human beings.

Girl Psychology Discussed by Y.W.C.A.
 Workers at Meeting

Interested mothers and teachers and members of the board of direc- tors are planning to share in the plans of the Young Women's Chris tian Association to enlarge the scope of it's Girls Work, and yesterday af- ternoon met in the reception room of the Administration and Cafeteria building at Fifth and Main streets cussion of Girl Psychology.
 Miss Etha Louise Buchanan, asso- ciate secretary of the Girls Work bureau, National Board of the Young Women's Christian association, New York City, led in the presentation and there was informal discussion with small groups and individuals after the hour was over.
 The purpose of this hour was to present to the mothers and teachers of Pine Bluff, who are interested in the all-round development of the city's girlhood, the fundamental prin- ciples, physiological, and phycholog- ical, which lie behind every piece of constructive club work. The asso- ciation's program for younger girls, based upon health, knowledge, serv- ice and spirit, it carried out through the Girl Reserve organization. It is developed absolutely accordingly to the three periods of adolescence as they are defined by most psycholo gists of today, and has programs varied to meet the needs of the girl in her early teens (12-15), or the girl in the middle adolescent perior (15- 18).
 Adolescence was defined as that time in a girls life when self-hood unfolds. It was suggested that con trolled environment in childhood helps to prepare for adolescence and that sound bodies, good habits, ade quate knowledge, with interests. high ideas and wholesome affections were factors of inestimable value in preparing a girl to face these years of growing up."
 s'lf a girl is to have the vigor and poise and judgment she needs as much as the boy, her interests should be as active, varied and objective as his." it was stated.
 The very rapid physical growth, the sense of a new world about her,
