The women about broke into tears.
Peter pressed his hand close against

brave, brown forehead Swallowed soft

resting upon her cheeks, and her fin
gers clasped about the stems of three
great, creamy roses.
There were other flowers all about,
and there were women in the room.
White draperies fell with sweeping
lines from the merciful yelling of the
crushed figure. and Alix might have
been only asleep, and dreaming some
heroic dream hat lent hat secret
pride and joy to her mouth and filed
those closed eyes with a triumph they

Peter stood and looked down at her.

Preventative Medicine

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows q
cold or attack of the grip. The cold
prepares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on,
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the first indication of a cold appears
sa as to get rid of it with the least
possible delay. It is folly to risk an
attack Of pneumonia when this REM
edy may be ots...::ced for q trifie.

TESTING TURNS LOSS
INTO PROFIT

Some statistics have befn obtained
from one of the creameries in cen
trally located dairying section of Cali
fornia which show very plainly that
many of the dairies are not earning as
much money as they should.
The average annual cost of maintain
ing COW in this locality is reported
to be 800. This is equivalent TO $50
pounds of butterfat G0 4Oc, or 2o3
pounds 90 soc. Applying this to ~
following figures, 1t is easy to find tire
herds that were profitable and those
that were not.
In the group of dairies under consid-
Grafton there are 30 herds, with a total
of 1922 cows. Total pounds of butter
fat produced 373,103. Average per COW
230 pounds.
The creamery has n record of the
number of cows in each herd and 4
record of the number of pounds of but
terfat that was paid for throughout the
year.
Rents were quite uniform, and other
conditions equally so. The best herd
in the group produced an average of
306 lbs. butterfat for the year. The
poorest herd in the group produced an
average of 40 lbs butterfat for the
year.
Remembering the maintenance figure,
it is seen at once that the best herd
produced 80 lbs. of butterfat per cow
above the cost of maintenance.
The poorest heard produced so lbs
butterfat per COW less than the cost of
maintenance.
Dividing the group as nearly as pos
sibe in two equal divisions, we find
the first II herds totaled S15 cows, with
II year s production of 2l4 ,433 lbs. but
terfat. This is an average of 263 lbs.
per COW.
The remaining 16 herds totaled 807
cows, with year S production of 1876,
670 lbs. butterfat This is an average
of 196 lbs. per cow.
