A laxatho today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take tho tlmo from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at tho tongue, mother! If coat
ed, or your child Is HstlcsB, cross, fev
erish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat
heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's, ailment, give a
teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Pigs," then don't worry, because It Is
perfectly harmless, and In a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bllo
and fermenting wnsto wilt gently
move out of tho bowels, and you havo
a well, playful child again. A thor
ough "Insido cleansing" Is ofttlmes all
that is necessary. It should be the
flrst treatment given In nny sickness.

A GRATEFUL ACKNOWLEDGMLN I',
Advantage of Silencer.
This crash of the bullet mukes the
valuo of the Maxim silencer very little,
so far as military efficiency is con
cerned, in tho way that the ilctlon
writer imagines tho sllencor to be use
ful, but not to prevent tho enemy from
discovering the position of the men
tiring as many fancy.
Its valuo lies in the fact that it
eliminates fully half of tho recoil of
tho rillo from tho action of tho gases
in its chambers, and it gives the ofll
cers much better control over the lire,
because of tho lessened noise of tho
rifles. It cuts down tho roar of tho
Springfield to abou tho noise of tho
.25-20 and thus the roar of the rifles
at tho firing lino is much reduced, and
tho commands of tho officers can be
heard. Outing.

What Becomes of the Wheat?
The wheat yield of the United Slates for 1914 reached the enormous figure of
nearly 900,000,000 busihels.
-
Yet in spite of the wonderful nutritive value of this grain, much of its value will
be lost as human food. Why?
Because many wheat products (white bread and many so called breakfast foods)
lack the nourishing mineral qualities of the grain found directly under the bran-coat.
These vital elements are thrown out with the bran-coat to make the flour white.
More and more, thinking people are waking up to this fact, and are now
obtaining all the grain nourishment by eating
Grape-Nut

This famous wheat and malted barley food, retains all the nutriment of I he grain,
including the rich mineral values so necessary in building brain, nerve and muscle.
Grape-Nuts is all food no waste! It is easily
digested, and with cream or milk affords complete
nourishment, at less cost than any other food.
This, together with its delicious flavour fresh-sealed, has made Grape-Nuts
a household 'word the world over.

CHICKEN RAISING

Much Patience and Steady Work
Required- Takes Years to
Learn the Business.
What Is the sense of a woman go
ing into poultry unless sho has a lik
ing for that sort of thing. Chicken-
raising as a fad is the most ridiculous
business I over saw, and 1 have seen
soiuo queer things down on a farm.
In tho llrst place, It takes a person
a couple of seasons to learn the chick
en gamo and there is so much patlcnco'
and steady work required that peoplo
will not stick to it unless they havo
a real passion for the business.
It's a queer fact that tho majority
of peoplo, even fanners, loso money
on poultry, or at least fujl to make
nnythlng substantial, whereas a man
or woman who llkea to handle chick
ens and sticks to it in a scnslblo way
can clean up a lot of money. Thore
Is a very great deal in doctoring poul
try, keeping it. froo from vermin and
feeding it wisely. Tho faddist can't
do those things nud so quits in dis

Many out-of-the-way places that aro

each cow will require 12 gals.; each

MUCH WILL BE GAINED BY THINNING FRUIT
The Result of Thinning PeachesAt the Left, 140 to 180 Peaches Per Oush
el of Thinned Fruit At Right, 260 to 272 Peaches of Unthlnned Fruit
rtly U. WAl.KHrt.)
While the advantages of thinning
fruit aro recognized by all, neglect of
thinning fruit Is more usual than tho
opposite. Somo effective thinning Is
done at the time of pruning tho troo
each spring, but this is not sufficient.
Tlie best practice requires that tlm
peaches on a limb shall not bo closer
than four to six inches. This will
mean knocking off from half to three
fourths of the peaches. Some who
practico thinning peaches reduce the
numbui of peaches still moro.
Tho best time for thinning Is when
tho peaches are about the Hizo of a
small prune, und after whut Is known
as the "June drop."
The hlreo man, working on a stop
ladder, makes tho cost of tho thinning
of a medium treo about live cents.
Tho effect on tho size or tho remaining
fruit Is astonishing. Increasing die
salable value of tho remaining fruit
sufficient to pay 1,000 per ceut on tho
cost of tho work of thinning, and add
ing to tho strength of tho treo In ro
duclng tho number of jilts borne.
Tho flesh of tho peach Is largely wa
ter. The greater draft on tho
utrength of tho troo Is tho production
of tho pits. In thinning peaches wo
reduce tho number of pits 75 to 80
per bent and almost or fully doublo
tho size of the peaches. It Is hottor
to knock off somo of tho peaches of
a loaded treo rather than allow tho
tree to overbear, oven If tho thinning
must be dono In a somowhnt rough
manner.
On every Bldn wo soo evidences of
tho great advantages to bo derived
from thinning fruit. In ono case, the
rosultH of moderato thinning resulted
as follows: I'ouclios from thinned El
herta trees ran MO to 180 poaches to
tho bushel, whllo In tho samo orchard,
fruit from unthlnned trees numbered
from 200 to 272 peaches to tho bushol.
