') Are you stepping on the brake or the accelerator? , The food you cat docs make a difference. Heavy, starchy foods often do slow down body and mind often steal tho energy that be longs to the day's work. Grape-Nuts is a go ahead food. It contains tho perfected nourishment of Nature's best grains. It includes nil those elements needod to nourish body and brain. It is easy to digcsL It ftives energy without taking energy. How about your breakfast or lunch does it give, or toko? Grape-Nuts is sweet, crisp, delightful to the taste, and is an ideiil source of power for a busy and difficult day. 'There's a Reason" for GRAPE-NUTS !i I Cattle Grazing on a Western Forest Range, (Prspired by the United Statu Department of Agriculture.) The utilization of the range In tho national forests of the West for tho pro duction of wool, beef, mutton nnd pork Is stcudlly Increasing from year to year. Handlers and stockmen arc manifesting a growing appreciation of tho advantages afforded by govern ment pasturage. And In the same de gree they are all too frequently neg lecting their stock after It Is turned out on the mountain ranges, state otll cluls of the United States Department of Agriculture. On all open ranges there nro mnny losses from predatory animals, poison ous plnnts, dtsense and accidents, nnd similar dangers. Unless owners of live stock campaign Intelligently und perse verlngly against such sources of disas ter, their herds and (locks usually suf fer a mortnllty of from 5 to 0 per cent yearly. To Illustrate, one ranchman grazed 700 head of cattle last sum mer on n national forest without n herder. As a result he lost a dozen head of steers worth $50 each. Mortality High Last Year. Last yeur In forest district 5, which Includes Cnllfornla and western Ne ynda, the total live stock mortullty In 17 forests amounted to 1,151 cattle, 5 horses and 5,840 sheep. The total num ber of permittees who used tho federal gruziug lands aggregated 3,321). They grazed 231,415 cattle und horses, 033, 500 sheep and goats and 5,500 hogs on the forest ranges. Two hundred uud seventy-five cattle died of disease; 209 cattle uud 1,402 sheep were killed by eating poisonous plants; 01 cattle, 5 horses and 2,745 sheep were killed by predatory anlmnls, und 480 cattle and 1,033 sheep succumbed to accidents and miscellaneous causes of death. This mutter of live stock losses on tho government ranges has become of such Importance that the United States forest service made a detailed survey of the specific causes of mortality among live stock In the Stanislaus for est of California during a recent year. During tho period under discussion a totl of SSI bend of live stock out of the 20,000 animals pastured In the for est lost their lives. The manner In wlil'li these losses were distributed should be of value to stockmen nnd rnr.chcrs who nro Interested In curtail ing these losses and who nro anxious to know what the weak points In their present methods of management are. Tho losses r.mong cattle were distrib uted us follows: Under one jenr old from blackleg, 08; over one year old from blackleg, 57; calves, loss of mother from lark spur poisoning, 10; cattle losses from Inrkspur, 53 ; other poisons, 21 ; preda tory animals, 20; uccldcnt, 33; In calv ing, 14; Iwt, strayed or stolen, 74; from untlirr.x, 2; from eating giant powder from railroad construction camp, 5; from neck-and-splne disease, 15; killed by hunters, 2; blind,) aged, crippled and ruptured, 4; losses from contagious abortion, 122 ; from lack of proper food and starvation, 14, and from unknown causes, 337. Check Predatory Animals. The losses from predatory animals nro being checked ns .rapidly as the fderal agencies for this work are able to cope with the situation. When ever tho forest rangers note thnt tho predatory animals are causing heavy damage, professional hunters nro snnt to destroy them. Tho losses duo to disease and nccldent nnd miscellane ous onuses could be substantially de creased If more herders were employed by tho owners. Under conditions which obtain on the national forest ranges ono or two herders could hnndle from flvo hundred to a thousand cattle with out particular difficulty. On tho same scale that It pays to herd sheep on the government ranges It also is profit able to herd cattle and, potentially. permittees probably will come to this decision of their own accord. Poisonous plants and particularly larkspur aro responsible annually for Inrgo losses of live stock throughout tho western states. There Is only one effective system of ridding tho ranges of Inrkspur nnd that Is to grub tho plnnts out season after season until finally the rnngo will be frqe of this objectionable growth. The experiences of n certain rancher whose raugo abuts one f tho Califor nia national forests, and who, under the supervision of the United States forest bervlce, has been waging a win ning llirht against larkspur during the last four yo-irs, nro Illuminative In this regiird. After careful trial nnd tudy of the control methods and tho results, this stockman Is enthusiastic about tho efilctcncy of th plan and he urges ev ery other rancher or stockman who owns Infested rungo to give the system HnmnTnun riplns COLONIAL DESIGN ATTRACTIVE Architects Too Often, However, Not Apply Its Details With Courage. Do of eradication a thorough and Impar tial trial. Ideal Pasturage Infested. In this Instance the larkspur was prevalent In large amounts on a range where the grazing was otherwise excep tionally good. The Infested area was on n side hill where seepage from a spring near the top of the hill pro vided plenty of moisture, so that the grass was unusually luxuriant at all times during the grazing period. The rancher hud to have a herder with the cattle constantly In order to keep them off the larkspur-Infested area. Not only did he lose the use of excel lent range, but he nlso was under ex tra expense to protect his cnttle from the poisonous plnnts. During the 1013 grazing season he lost ten steers, which, despite the efforts of the herder, trcspnssed on the larkspur area and succumbed to the poisoning which re sulted. The following season, under similar conditions, 24 hend of valuable range cattle were poisoned. The next yenr only five steers died from lark spur poisoning, while the following year the mortality aggregated eighteen head. In 1917 the larkspur eradication cnmpalgn was Instituted, and as a con sequence of the work of that season the cattle losses were curtailed to only fivo nnlmals. The next yenr the work was continued nnd not n single case of steer mortality from Inrkspur poison ing occurred. In 1910 only two steers died, while last year the mortality also was limited to two animals. Recently the Inrkspur area of the range has been grazed by a band of 2,000 sheep. One Hundred Acres Grubbed. The first season nbout one hundred acres of range were grubbed, the poi sonous plants being erndlcnted with larkspur picks and scattered In ex posed plnccs to dry In the sun. One man could dig 1.71 acres n day. The total cost of grubbing the one hundred acres the first yenr amounted to ? 150.80, an nverago of $4.50 an acre. The losses of cattle were reduced from 18 head the year before to 5 head tho following season. The saving of 13 head of cattle was directly due to the Inrkspur eradication work. Esti mating these steers worth $50 apiece, a saving of $050 resulted, which paid all tho expense of tho grubbing and left a balance of $109.70 to tho credit of tho work. The following season the range carried 50 more head of cattle us a result of tho decrease In the amount nnd severity of tho larkspur Infection. In pnsslng, It Is worthy of mention thnt the larkspur picks are made from ordinary surface picks by drawing out ono point to a chisel form about two Inches wide, while the other point Is sharpened in a diamond shnpe. Gen erally pruning shears and small hand nxes aro used In cutting out the brush and trees which obstruct the nccess of tho workmen to tho Inrkspur. Ordl nnrlly an average workman can grub out from seventy to eighty larkspur plnnts nn hour. The Inst two seasons tho grubbing work hns been continued, the chief nttentlon being devoted to new areas, as the original one hundred ncres nre now practically frco of any Inrkspur. The nvernge house of Colonlnl d sign, however attractive may be ItJ general ensemble of graceful form, consistent detnll and pleasing color, la, ns a rule, not picturesque: thnt Is, according to the common conception of a term which Implies more than a modicum of Individuality and Informal ity. Indeed, In the design of the ma jority of new Colonlnl houses, the key note Is utmost Invariably a rather rigid formality and formality Is never the Ideal foundation upon which to rear a picturesque superstructure. The low, rambling, English country houses, the steep-roofed, turrcted French chateaux, the characteristic chalets of Switzerland nnd the low roofed homes of Italy have usually an Indefinable element of picturesque ness, undoubtedly attributable In lnrge measure to their pronounced Infor mality of composition, ns well ns to a perfect adaptability to their respective locations. Countless American homes nre, of course, nlso picturesque ; never theless the average Amerlcun house to which the possession of picturesque qualities may truthfully be ascribed Is, as a rule, a replica after some foielgn prototype, rather than an out growth of that Colonial style which Is, perhaps, our most nationalistic phase of architecture. The only npparent reason for this phenomenon must He surely In a lack of courage, on the part of the archi tectural profession, to apply the de tails of Colonial precedent to other than n house of symmetrical plan. It ennnot be due to any lack of Inspira tion In the many beautiful examples of early Colonial work which still exist. In the early days of Pennsylvania, a snug little stone homestead was built by a sturdy pioneer In n bit of a clearing not far distant from now widely-famed Valley Forge. Probably, even though he built his home with strength of construction uppermost in mind, that pioneer was Impelled more by thoughts of contemporaneous se curity thnn by any altruistic considera tion for a coming generation. Whatever the builder's motive, his humble furm house whs destined to wlthsnnd the, vicissitudes of a century and more, and eventually to become the nucleus of the Imposing structure which now adorns nn attractive country estate In one of Philadelphia's most aristo cratic suburban communities.

If I did any houso clcnninpc or washing I would faint ana havo to bo put to bed, my husband thinking every min ute was my last. After reading your text-book for women I took Lydia E.

Doctors told mo I could never have children I was too weak but after taking Vegetable Compound it strength ened mo so I gave birth to an eight pound boy. I was well all tho time, did all my work up to the last day, and had a natural birth. Everybody who knew mo was surprised, and when they ask me what made mo strong I tell them with great pleasures, ' I took Lydia E. Pink ham'B Vegetable Compound and never felt better in my life.

MAKING NEXT YEAR'S LAWN BUYING SUITABLE CHICKENS Possible for City Man to Select His Pullets From Live Poultry Shipped to Town. Whcro a town man has no time, to go Into the country to buy his puljets It often Is possible to choose suitable birds among the live poultry shipped Into the city markets. The advice of some experienced person should be obtained before buying, says the Uni ted Stntes Department of Agriculture. Local poultry associations aro glad to help prospective poultry keepers by putting them Into touch with members having stock for snle. Tho board of trade or tho chumber of commerce often can bring poultry raiser and buyer together. , Except In the Northern Tier of States Autumn Seeding Is Most Sat isfactory. Next year's lawn depends, In great measure, upon this nutumn's muklng. Except perhnps In the northern tier of states and New England, early au tumn seeding Is much more satisfac tory than spring seeding. South of New York and New England stntes spring seeding should rarely,- If ever, bo practiced, say specialists of the United States Department of Agricul ture. Young grass, they say, does not stool well In the spring and summer and Is not sufficiently aggressive to combat crab grass and other summer annual weeds. After the preliminary preparation, which Involves the thorough working of the soil, the surface of the area to be seeded should be thorougly fined with n rake or similar Implement, nnd bone meal should be applied at the rate of nbout 20 pounds to a thou sand squnre feet. The bono meal Is of much benefit to young grass, since It assists It In making sufficient growth to pass the first winter In good condi tion. The main point to be observed in seeding Is to sow tho seed evenly nnd to cover uniformly but lightly. The covering can be done on n small area with an ordlnnry garden rake or on a largo area with a weeder. Light rolling after covering Is fre quently beneficial.

Climbing roses thnt are apt to be badly winter-killed should bo carefully taken down from their supports, the tops tied together, laid along the ground next the porch or wall und covered with litter or mnnure. In early spring they can be tied up again to their supports nnd you will have the benefit of nil the flowers. Single specimen hbrld roses sim ply need manure around the roots. If they nre hardy, do not tie them up with straw, for If the winter Is molht and warm they will start to put forth now growth at the top und when un covered In the spring will be so soft thnt the slightest frost will do them In Jury. Tender and ever-blooming roses, growing In beds, should hnvu the ground covered six Inches In depth wth good stable manure. This will protect them, nlthough they are near ly always frozen down to tho top of the manure. In the spring tnke thu manure away from them us soon as tho danger from frost Is over nnd cut them back to the green wood. They will be all the better for tho pruning.
