In some respects, human experience
is like railroading.
Every moment of the business and
social day the block signals are giving
right of way to keenness and alertnesS
while the slow and the heavy must
wait on the sidetrack for their chance
to move forward.
The ability to "go through" and to
"get there" depends much on the poise of
body, brain and nerves that comes with
correct diet and proper nourishment.
That's why so many choose Grape
Nuts for breakfast and lunch. Served
with cream or milk it is completely
nOurishing, partly pre-digested, and it
supplies the vital mineral salts so
necessary to full nutrition.

Argonne post of the American Legion
at st. Paul, Mimi, was attending
school in the Kansas university when
his money ran out. A letter forwarded
to him from his native state told
Of the work of the Federal Board for
Vocational Education in Minneapolis.
Through disability incident to his
service as a flyer, he was entitled to
the Federal educational aid. Without
sufficient funds to make the long trip,
nevertheless he set out to appear be-
fore the board.
Three days In a box car, coal
gondola and the tenders Of three
passenger trains conveyed him to his
destination. Several fast changes OF
cars, unusual maneuvers and debates
with trainmen were necessary, but
the aviator came through smiling. One
mail clerk proved friendly, but that
train was bound for Chicago. After
two more trials he found bunk on
some coal and woke. up the next
morning in the st. Paul yards.
Placing his ease before the board,
he was classed Section One," en-

bers and to the state. In carrying out
this policy he has built up Legion
Service bureau which handles one
thousand ex-service claims a month
and department branch Of the
American Legion News Service.
Early in 1921, when the Federal
board for vocational education pre-
pared to send representatives to six
teen centers in the state to examine
disabled veterans, the authorities
were handicapped by lack of pub
licity. Commander Vernon prepared
twenty thousand large posters and
placed them on every billboard in the
state. This was supplemented with
information to every newspaper in re-
gard to where every disabled man
should report to receive compensation,
vocational training and medical treat
ment.
When an unexpected number Of
veterans enlisted for vocational train
ing. Mr.. Vernon appealed to 10000
business men to place the men in their
establishments. The merchants and
manufacturers responded with a good
will and all the vocational students
were placed to good advantage.

feet wide and 50 feet long, not very

lighted and ventilated by plenty OF
windows and doors, and contains II
individual stalls and two large box
stalls. The stalls are built in two
rows facing in, with feed alley rum

rear of each row. These alleys are
equipped with special carrier track

Dangerous micro organisms, known
as germs" as we'll as those which cause
food to spoil, are often to be found in
food which has been carelessly han
oled. Typhoid and scarlet fevers,
tuberculosis, colds, influenza, diph-
iberia, and other diseases may be
carried by food. Most so-ealled food
poisoning is due to harmful micro.
organisms carried into the body by
food which has been contaminated
either by accident or carelessness.
These organisms are to be found
everywhere, but especially in dust,
dirt and filth. They are often carried
by flies, yermin and household pests.
They may also get into food from I'M
washed hands or from dishes which
may appear clean but are not.
To guard against these microscopic
enemies of the human race, protect
the food from dirt, filth and flies by
keeping it in clean places and In
clean receptacles. say Department of
Agriculture specialists. Insist that
every person who handles food or
dishes washes the hands before be-
ginning work, scalds all the dishes,
dries them with towels washed out in
boiling water, or drains them dry.
Care should be taken to cover the
mouth and nose in sneezing and
coughing, particularly when near food.

When her husband, who was past
the age limit, was accepted by the
Medical Corps during the World war,
Mrs. Murray likewise volunteered. She
made a record of thirty addresses in
one week during a Red Cross drive.
She sold Liberty bonds, organized Red
Cross units and did active canteen
work.
The Women's Auxiliary was organic
ed nationally in Austin, Tex, July
&c, 1919. Mrs. Murray was one Of the
first women to organize unit in
Houston in March 1920. When she
became state president, there were
twenty-three units in the department.
Under her direction, thirty additional
units have been formed and fifty
others are now organizing. Mrs.
Murray plans to obtain a unit for
each of the 291 posts of the Legion In
Texas.
Mrs. Murray was born In Concordia
Parish, La. Both her father and
mother came of old Revolutionary
stock. Her mothers paternal ancestor
was near kinsman of Daniel Boone;
her fathers paternal ancestor was
descendant Of Nathaniel Greene.
During the Civil War her father served

rying many of the burdens and is still
considered one of the assets of that
institution. In many cases the
horses are housed in a combination or
general utility barn, that is, a build
ing having accommodations for both
horses and cattle. However, where
the number of horses is large enough,
a separate barn is very often built.
There are certain important consid-
aerations which should not be over
looked in the construction and PLAN
ming of horse barn.
In the first place ample space must
be provided for the storage of bulky
feed of which horses consume large
quantities. BY this is meant hay,
straw. fodder. etc. The most conven-
lent place for the storage OF this feed
is large hay NOW, and this is pro-
vided for by high roof built SO there
are few Instructions in the way Oh
supporting posts.
In the barn shown here plank frame
construction has been used in building
up this high gothic roof. As can be
seen very readily the hay NOW is I'M
usually large and capable of holding
a great supply of hay. 1t has been
fitted with special hay carrier equip
ment for the unloading and storing OF
hay.

as attractive and as profitable as pos
sible. He realizes that by construct
ing efficient buildings equipped with
all of the latest and most advanced
labor-saving devices that he can hold
his sons on the farm and not have
them leave for the cities just when he
is ready to retire and enjoy the fruits
of his many years labor. Farm work
does not mean drudgery, endless
hours, although many farms have
caused this impression to get wide
circulation. Better buildings and bet
ter equipment, introduced during the
last decade, have revolutionized old
ideas and old methods. Today the
farmer is able to conduct well-regu-
lated business, if he is alive to the
methods and means which will make
this result possible No two factors
are more instrumental in making the
work of the farmer wholesome, cheer
full and worth while than up-to-date
buildings. barns, houses, sheds and
equipment. The buildings, because
they are scientifically planned and
built. eliminate unnecessary tasks.

If you are fond of doughnutS, but

They are the result Of a long series
of experiments in the absorption of
fat by fried batters and coughs car

A rich dough always absorbs more
fat in frying than palmer mixture.
Unless you wish your doughnuts to be
