THE SPRING DRIVE
Our boys nro going "Over the top"

No ono has nny doubt of their ability
to get there. There will also bo a
spring drive on this sldo of the ocean,
because March Is the year's "blue Mon
day." It Is the most fatal month of the
year. March and April Is a time when
resistance usually Is at lowest ebb. It
Is a trying season for the "run-down"
man. But medical science steps In, and
says, "it need not bo" 1 We should cul
tivate a love of health, a sense of re
sponsibility for the care of our bodies.
Do not allow the machinery of the body
to dog. Put the stomach and liver In
proper condition. Tako Dr. Pierce's
3olden Medical Discovery, to bo had at
most drug stores In tablet or liquid
form, tablets sixty-cents a vial, com
posed of native herbs. This puts the
stomach and liver in proper condition.
You may bo plodding along, no spring,
no elasticity, no vim, but as soon as you
have put the body Into us normal physi
cal condition oiled the machinery, as
It were you will Ond new vim, vigor
and vitality within you. A little "pep,"
nnu wo laugn and live. Try it now.
Send Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y 10c. for
trial package. A little energy will save
the day. The prime necessity of life Is
health, with spirit and energy you
have the power to force yourself Into
action. Tne Golden Medical Discovery

"Oh, I slept soundly, but I awoke

and I had my flst drawn back to biff

As Father Does.
Two small boys were arguing over
some trivial matter when one of them
said: "I'll bctcha I'm right." Tho
other boy said ho would not bet, ns It
was wrong, and this statement led to
another discussion, ono youagster In
sisting that there was no harm In bet
ting nnd the other that there was.
The boy who was advocating betting
talked so loud that ho attracted his
mother, and she, like nil good mothers,
tried to tell him that it was wrong to
Ramble on anything.
"Well, dnddy does," was the boy's
reply, "cause when he came home with
tthnt Liberty bond he said It was a $50
bet with the kaiser that he would loso
the war."

A FOOD
CCONOMV
A Conserving Food
The recognized value
of
Grape-Nuts
as a "saving" food for
these serious times, rests
upon real merit.
Unlike the ordinary
cereal Grape-Nuts re
quires no sugar, little
milk or cream, and re
quires no cooking or
other preparation in
serving.
A trial is well worth
while for those who
sincerely desire to save.
' There's a Reason's
Thoy have been at a great feast of
languages and stolen tho scraps.
GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE.
In the spring time green things np-
penl to tho appetite, v need them as
blood purifiers nnu
various combina
tions may be used
to lend variety.
Onion Salad.
Scoop out tho
centers from three
Spanish onions that
have been peeled.
Fill each with high
ly seasoned chicken, sausage or meat
or nuts or bread crumbs nnd but
ter and salt nnd pepper. Add a little
water to tho baking dish nnd bake
them until brown and tender. When
the onions nro cold, cut them In quar
ters and place thorn on a bed of water
cress, lay a sardine on each quarter
of the onion and serve with French or
boiled dressing. v i
Oatmeal Bread. Take two cupfuls
of oatmeal, one-half cupful of molasses,
two teaspoonfuls of salt over this pour
n pint of boiling water; when cool add
yeast and Hour to mix well. Let ralso
and when light form Into loaves and
bake when light.
Cod llsh, the dried variety may make
a most pnlntablc main dish. Soak the
llsh and cook carefully not to break It,
then drain carefully and let It simmer
In a drawn butter sauce. Serve with
baked potatoes. A most delicious
white sauce for codfish Is made by
using sour cream lnstend of milk, pre
paring It in the same way.
Onions are delicious baked. In their
skins then peel them, season with but
ter, pepper nnd salt or cream, or If
desired In n white sauce. They have
quite a different flavor. Another de
licious way to prepare onions Is to
roast them in the ashes or on the ledge
of the furnace. Do not peel them us
the skin will often be burned' nnd It
will be necessary to use care to re
move all the charred portions.
Onions are also delicious stuffed
with sausage, and baked, basting dur
ing the linking with the fat and some
wnter.
Every particle of vegetable water
not used as sauce for the vegetable
when serving it, should be saved. Add
it to tho soup kettle, if potato wnter,
use it to stew ment or soup meat.

when well chilled. The valuable min
eral salts contained In vegetable wa
ter should not be wasted.

may serve as a window
box In the summer may
be used, If the soil Is fer
tilized, the year round.
In tho winter pepper
grass, lettuce, radishes,
parsley chives and various herbs for
seasoning may be grown. A small bit
of the green but an Inch or two In
height will furnish a flavor for sand
wiches. Tender pepper grnss will
soon reach four Inches In height and
may bo used In combination with other
vegetables, the slight pungent flavor Is
especially appetizing In early spring.
Before the flrst leaf of the dande
lion puts forth its head, cover a patch
of the plants with boards, so that the,
crisp white leaves may be served
fresh as a salad.
Mint Is nn early arrival and mny be
hurried If In n sheltered sunny spot.
A few of the flrst green buds finely
minced and steeped In hot vinegar
with a small amount of sugar Is n
most delicious sauce to serve with
lamb. It Is nlso relished when chop
ped nnd added to lettuce and pepper
grass with a little chopped green onion
making a most refreshing salad.
Watercress Is another green that Is
most wholesome. When one Is fortu-
uate enough to live near a brook
where It may be gathered often It
should be n frequent salad. Served
with a sprinkling of snlt It Is used as
a garnish for chops, but combines
well with other vegetables. Tho snap

tion to broad and butter sandwiches.

TEMPTING DISHES.
The parsnip Is a most tasty dish
and may be varied in several ways.

Is objectionable to
any, the water may
be removed din
ing the boiling

and season well
with butter, salt
and pepper. The
seasoned parsnip may Do dropped into

Closing Hot Water Bottles.
Tho hot water bottle will not leak nt
tho mouth If the stopper bo screwed
In cold Immediately after tho bag has

vents leaking.
GOOD ROADS IN CONNECTICUT
State Superintendent of Repairs Di

tenance Organisation.
(By E. D. HOUSE, Colorado Agricultural
Collcfje, Fort Collins, Colo.)
Connecticut places tho malntcnnnco
of her roads under nn officer known
as tho superintendent of repairs. Tho
stato Is divided Into ten districts.
Each district is under tho control of
n supervisor of repairs, who Is lo
cated near tho center of his district.
Each district Is divided Into sections,
nnd eacli section Is id chargo of n
foreman. Under ordinnry conditions
theso foremen work singly and devoto

malntcnnnco of the ronds in. their
section. If nn emergency comes, ten
or fifteen men nro placed under n fore
man for rcpnlr work. These gangs of
workmen nro maintained continually
and nro transferred from placo to
place; put under ono foreman for n
few days, and then transferred to aft-
other section In order that the work
may be properly done.
COMPANY TAKES OVER ROAD
Virginia Legislature Grants Charter to
Private Concern to Operate Old
Highway.
Tho legislature of Virginia has
granted n charter to nn association
known ns the Wnrrenton nnd Fairfax
Turnpike company, Inc., which will
.tnke over tho old Alexandrln-warren'
ton pike, to grade and resurfaco tho
road and operate It as a tollroad until
the stnto wishes to take It back.
Tho charter states that when the
stnto does tako It back It must pay
tho stockholders the cost of tho rond,
with Interest, minus dividends.
IMPROVEMENT BY ROAD DRAG
Farmer Can Be Convinced of Effective
ness by Use of Implement
After Each Rain.
If you nro not ono of the fortunate
ones with a good macadam or even
concrete rond In front of your place,
you can make a good road of it If
drulnngo has been uttended to by the
use of the rond drag. Just try It after
each rain, on tho stretch of road lead
Ing from your gateway toward town
tho length of your holdings; you will
not only bo surprised and gratified
with the Improvement, but you muy bo
encouraging your neighbor just be
yond to do likewise.
OUTLINES GOOD ROADS PLAN
Opening of Forty-Mlle Boulevard In
Canada First Step in System of
Improved Highways.
Tho new concrete highway between
Toronto and Hamilton, Ontario, waB
opened recently. The premier of On
tnrlo announced nt tho opening that
tho 40-mlle boulevard between the two
cities was only thulrst step In n great
system of Improved highways through
out tho whole of Ontario. Plans have
been made for this work, but It will
not bo undertaken until tho actual end
of the war Is in sight.
GOOD ROADS ARE ESSENTIAL
Better Highways Must Be Secured to
Make It Possible to Consolidate
the Schools.
Back of tho wholo country school
problem looms the rond question. You
can't hnvo better schools without bet
ter roads. Better roads must be se
cured to make it possible to ccntrallzo
and consolidate the schools. Whero
communities enjoy the ndvnntnges of
good roads, commodious buildings hnvo
been provided, inoro competent tench
ers have been employed and modern
facilities for teaching hnvo been sup
plied at n minimum cost.
