Good Reason for Capt. Bascomb’s I'L
termittent Hearing.
When Capt. Bascomb had left his
old friend, Capt. Somers, and the new
school teacher sitting on the south
porch, and had disappeared down the
road, the young woman spoke of him
with some curiosity.
“I understand from Mrs. Bascomb
that her husband was very deaf, ‘al
most stone-deaf,’ she told me, I’m
sure,” said the school teacher. “But
he seemed to hear all we said with
perfect ease.”
Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke in a low, cautious tone, al
though there was no eavesdropper to
hear him.
“Don’t let Mis’ Bascomb know it,”
he said, hurriedly. “He does seem
to hear pretty well when she ain’t
round, but none of us folks ever let
on to her. She's a good woman as
ever lived, but a most tremendous
bosser and an everlastin’ talker. An’
we all think that Gersh Bascomb be
gun to realize ten years ago that if
he didn’t want to be harried right off'n
the face o’ the earth, the thing for
him to do was to grow deef, gradual,
but steady—an’ he’s done it, to all
intents an’ purposes, ma'am!” —

Rule of Cornish Chapels.
In Cornish (Eng.) chapels the in
variable rule is for the men to sit
on one side of the building and the
women on the other.
A visitor and his fiancee, who are
staying in the district, went to chapel,
and just before the service began the
'young man was greatly astonished
when the chapel steward, observing
that the couple were seated in the
same pew, came over to him and, in
an audible voice, said: “Come on out
of that, me son; we don’t ’ave no
sweetheartin’ ’ere.”
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much mere thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.
A Country Marvel.
The little fresh air boy was com
fortably quartered in a farm house
near the salt water for his summer’s
outing. The first day he strolled down
the road to the marshes and he stared
in astonishment at the cat-tails grow
ing there. Then turning around to a
native of the place who was accom
panying him he said: “Gosh; I didn’t
know that sausages grow on sticks.”

There’s a little girl who gave her

“You shan't have any," ma replied.

The bathing suit matter is now be

I Grape-Nuts j
FOOD
A Body Balance
A
People hesitate at the statement that
the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as
much nourishment from one pound as
can be absorbed by the system from
ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or
oats. Ten pounds of meat might con
tain more nourishment than one pound
of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that
the system will absorb as large a pro
portion of, as the body can take up
from one pound of Grape-Nuts.
This food contains the selected parts
of wheat and barley which are pre
pared and by natural means predi
gested, transformed into a form of
sugar, ready for immediate assimila
tion. People in all parts of the world
testify to the value of Grape-Nuts.
A Mo. man says: "I have gained ten
pounds on Grape-Nuts food. I can
truly recommend it to thin people.”
He had been eating meat, bread, etc.,
right along, but there was no ten
pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts
food was used.
One curious feature regarding true
health food is that its use will reduce
the weight of a corpulent person with
unhealthy flesh, and will add to the
weight of a thin person not properly
nourished. There is abundance of
evidence to prove this.
Grape-Nuts balances the body in a
Sditlon of true health. Scientific se
ion of food elements makes Grape
Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious
flavor and powerful nourishing prop
erties have made friends that in
turn have made Grape-Nuts famous.

II SIMPLE REMEDT
ONE OF THE WAYS TO CURTAIL
OPERATIONS OF TRUSTS.
HOME PATRONAGE PRINCIPLES
8ystems That Oppose the Advance
ment of Rural Towns and Agri
cultural Communities.
Never before have the people of the
country been so awakened tc> the Im
portance of home protection as they
are at present. The wide knowledge
spread by means of the public press
as to the operations of the great trusts
and how the masses are made to serve
the more favored classes is having its
effect. The residents of agricultural
communities are beginning to realize
the dangers cf business concentration
in sections of the country dominated
by the capitalistic classes. They are
fast becoming aroused to the truth
that this concentration is a menace to
the prosperity of the nation, and di
rectly affects every producer, every
laborer and every citizen of the coun
try who depends upon his work for
support.
The building up of great trusts com
menced less than a score of years ago.
At the same time there were other
systems inaugurated that tended to
wards robbing the home towns of
business and concentrating th:s busi
ness in the large cities. One cf these
systems, most notable in its injurious
operations and its force to draw
wealth from communities where it is
produced, is the mail-order system of
business. None will say that this sys
tem is illegitimate, but no economist
can show wherein its principles are
sound. By the system communities
are impoverished and kept from pro
gressing. He who will give study to
the basis of country development will
see that it is the labor employed that
not alone enhances the value of the
farm lands, but builds up the towns.
When there is little to employ this la
bor, the result is depression, stagna
tion and non-progress. The great evil
of the mail-order system which has
grown up, is its taking away the
means that small towns have of em
ploying labor, and the drawing from
each community the profits in com
mercial transactions that represents
the wealth that is procured. It is
sophistry to claim that the resident of
a community who sends his money to
a foreign town and saves the ten per
cent, that may represent the home
merchant's profits, is not a factor in
impoverishing the community. While
the saving may remain in the com
munity the employment of labor essen
tial to every business is given to the
foreign place, and the home town is
robbed of this employment giving
power.
Every dollar that is sent away from
a community where it is produced
either by the tilling of the soil, by the
growing of live stock, by the work of
the day laborer, or by the storekeeper,
impoverishes the community to that
extent, and this dollar ceases to be
any factor in the advancement of the
community. Presuming that there are
in a community 2,000 people, suppose
that each one of these 2,(a) people
send away to some foreign place $50
per year. This in the aggregate is
$100,000 per year that goes to the sup
port of a foreign town. Suppose that
each one sending his money away
saves ten per cent.; the savings for a
year would be $5, and in ten years 350.
Look at the other side—$100,000 busi
ness per year would support In the
home to&n five good stores. Each one
of these stores would give employ
ment to a number of hands. The small
percentage of profit that would be
made would be retained in the com
munity and be invested in new enter
prises. Year after year there would
-be a oontlnual increase in the pros
perity of the town, and the building
up process would add to the value of
all the town property, and to the
farms within the trading radius of the
town. While by sending away the
farmer would in ten years' time save
but $50, whereas by patronizing the
home town the profits that would
come to him in substantial increase
in real estate values would be ten
times this amount. The building up
of the town would improve the home
market, affording every producer on
the farms better prices for all his pro
duce.
Then there is another thing, the
town supports the churches, the
schools and other public institutions.
The efficiency of these institutions are
dependent upon the life and activity
of the town. Where poor towns exist,
the schools do not receive the support
that Is necessary to make them good,
neither are the churches of the high
standard they should be. Home pat
ronage means good schools, good
churches and all conveniences that
add to the pleasure and enlightenment
of a people.
AH the residents of a community
have common interests in it—the
banker, the lawyer, the doctor, the
merchant, the farmer, the day laborer
—all have equal interests. Thus we
find that a community is in reality a
large cooperative assembly. What is
of interest to one is of material inter
est to the other. But more important
than all is that by a practice of the
home patronage principle the possibili
ties of building up trusts for the con
trol of industries of the country are
reduced to the minimum; in fact, a
strict adherence to this simple princi
ple of building up and protecting home
industries precludes the building up
of harmful trusts and combinations.

Care of 8hade Trees.
While shade trees are very desirable
along sidewalks and roads, unless
they are kept well trimmed they be
come much of a nuisance, preventing
evaporation of rains and helping make
muddy streets. It is well for oitizens
of every town to look after the trim
ming of shade trees, and the planting
of shade trees where they are needed.
The invention of the typewriter has
given work to more than 1,000,000

SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
Two Vital Things for the Welfare of
the Masses.
There is wisdom in the old slogan,
“A school on every hill top and a
church in every valley.” Citizens of
the United States may well feel proud
of the great educational system which
makes it possible for all classes to ac
quire the proper mental cultivation.
They may also feel proud of the re
ligious liberty that each and every
citizen enjoys. There is no estab
lished church to interfere with the
free exercise of conscience, neither is
there any law that interferes with the
exercise of religious belief.
The United States can be looked
upon as a nation where schools and
churches flourish to the fullest. The
public school system is one of the
most perfect that civilization has yet
evolved. Of course there are com
munities where local conditions are
not so favorable for schools as other
places. It will be observed that the
more important is the city or the
town, the more advanced are the edu
cational facilities offered the people.
The residents of rural communities
have their state or district school, the
curriculums of which are restricted.
It is to the nearby town that the chil
dren who are residents of the farm
districts must look for their higher
education, which is a necessary prep
aration for entry into college, and for
business life. How important it is,
then, to the resident of the farm dis
trict that his home town be an active
place and of sufficient business im
portance to justify the maintenance of
a high class school! It can be seen
how eaeh resident of a farming com
munity should be interested in the
home town and all that pertains to its
upbuilding. If on no other account,
purely on account of the edAational
facilities.
Running parallel in importance with
the schools are the churches. The
better the home town the better are
the church buildings, and the greater
is the talent that fills the pulpit. Both
schools and churches have education
al qualities that should not be lightly
valued. They mean the highest men
tal and moral development, and upon
this development d. pends the good
citizenship and the advancement and
perpetuation of the nation.
COSTLY LESSONS IN ECONOMY.
It Is Not Always a Matter of Saving to
Buy Cheap Goods.
Almost every rural community has
within its confines people who have
paid well for experience and have
learned costly lessons as to buying
of goods.
Not long ago in a western town a
citizen desired to buy a kitchen range.
A visit to the local hardware store
was made and the prices asked by
the dealer were not satisfactory to
the prospective purchaser, who by
the way had his attention attracted
by the advertising in his farm paper
of “a bargain" in a kitchen range.
The range was advertised as equal to
those costing "twice the money at the
local store." The citizen sent a
money order to the concern advertis
ing the range, and in the course of a
few weeks he was notified by the rail
road agent that the range had ar
rived. In removing it from the sta
tion to the farm house, in some inex
plainable way part of it was broken.
The broken pieces were taken to the
local hardware store but could not be
duplicated. A letter was written to
the range company and in the course
of a few weeks a duplicate of the
broken part was received, but it was
discovered that it would not fit the
stove. It had to be returned and a
few weeks later another piece was
sent; then the stove was placed in
use. Within six months the top had
become so warped that it interfered
sCriously with the drafts. At the end
of the year the stove was burned out
and ready for the junk heap. The
purchaser of the stove then deter
mined that he would secure another
range from the home dealer. He paid
the home dealer the price he was
asked which was about one-third more
than the poor range most, and after a
few years the range was found to be
as good almost as when first bought.
This is one illustration of how econ
omy wrongfully practiced is ex
pensive. It is not always wise to
seek the bargain counters when good
articles are wanted. Neither is it a
wise idea to buy goods before you
have an opportunity to carefully ex
amine them and determine their
value.
GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.
Millions of Dollars Annually Saved to
the Farmers of the United States.
One of the most important move
ments that has been inaugurated of
recent years, and which has resulted
in wonderful benefit to the people is
the good roads movement. Within the
United States there are approximately
about 8,000,000 farmers. If during a
year each of those farmers can be
saved $10 in time, or in wear and tear
upon horses and wagons by means of
improved roads, it means a saving of
$80,000,000 annually; but the truth is
that the improved roads that have
been built up the past half dozen years
.through agitation of the good roads
movement saves each farmer in the
land from $50 to $100. Thus it can be
seen that the savings brought about
through this movement aggregate hun
dreds of millions of dollars each year.
Good roads are important to the
progressive town. This fact has be
come so recognized that wherever
there exists a live agricultural town
its citizens will be found to be staunch
advocates of road improvement, and
there is a civic pride and friendly com
petition in the matter of hating good
roads leading to the towns. The work
of road improvement has only fairly
begun. A number of state legislatures
have taken np the work and during
the next dozen years great changes
will be wrought as to the building and'
maintenance of public highways.

“My baby was about nine months

I thought I would give them a trial.
The improvement was noticeable in a
few hours, and before I had used one
box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were well and have never troubled her

WHAT'S THE USE?
To Pour in Coffee When It Acts as a
Vicious Enemy.
Fasters have gone without food for
many days at a time but no one can go
without sleep. “For a long time I have
not been sleeping well, often lying
awake for two or three hours during
the night but now I sleep sound every
night and wake up refreshed and vig
orous,” says a Calif, woman.
“Do you know why? It’s because I
used to drink coffee but I finally cut it
out and began using Postum. Twice
since then I have drank coffee and
both times I passed a sleepless night,
and so I am doubly convinced coffee
caused the trouble and Postum re
moved it
“My brother was In the habit of
drinking coffee three times a day. He
was troubled with sour stomach and I
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress in
his stomach; lately hardly a day
passed without a dose of 6oda for re
lief.
“Finally he tried a cup of Postum
and liked it so well he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking
Postum in its place and says he has
not once been troubled with sour stom
ach.”
Even after this lady’s experience
with coffee her brother did not suspect
for a time that coffee was causing his
sour stomach, but easily proved it.
