Boston , Dec. 4. Any one who lives
In a small town or upon a farm should
be very careful about the character
of the chalk marks which may be
found on the fences.
In some cases it is a gooti thing to
let them stand ; in others , the wisest
thing go on. The second organization she joined rras
the Loyal Verbena Ladies. Then came the Prophetesses ,
followed closely by the Xaomls. After this she selected
the Daughters of Liberty and the AVoman's Reform Aa-
seciation. The little woman Avas seldom in now. Some
times he would go home for supper and find a note on
the table , "Gone to lodge. Cold ham in the pantry. "
Finally , in n single week she added to her list of mem
berships , by taking on the Knights and Ladies of the
Green Harp , the Ladies' Auxiliary Brigade and the
Daughters of Rest.
That was the last straw. Sunday morning the man
stood over the bed and looked at a sleep3-eyed little
\voman. "Here " he said , "I'll quit if you will. Is it
ft bargain ? " She put her arms right up , and grabbed
him and kissed him. "It is ! It is ! " she cried. "And
we'll have home again ! "
Don't think this is any preachment against frater
nal orders. It isn't. They are too useful. They help
too much. Too many of them ara real influences for
good in this busy old world oC ours. But a man can
he too much of a lodge uiau , can't he , when he lets his
lodges interfere with a flner thing and a holier thing
and a thing which must mean more to him than all the
lodges that ever were ? Because , be it ever so lodge-
less , there's no place like home. Chicago Examiner.
THE AMERICAN FARMER.
" * " " " ' " " '
of the American farmers' product for 1907
nt $7,412,000,000 , more than 10 per " cent higher than the
valuation of the 190(5 crops fn "l90G. And 190(5 was a
record-breaking year.
The troubles of the benlcer and the fear of a financial
stringency disappear in contemplation of these figures.
What need to worry when the tillers of the soil are per
forming such -wonders ?
During the last nine years , says the secretary , the
American farmer has adSed $33,000,000,000 to the wealth
of the nation. ft
Of course corn is king , with a valuation of $1,850-
000,000 , and , lest we may not comprehend this vast total ,
Mr. Wilson kindly volunteers the information that thir
teen such crops would replace the banking power of the
United States , its capital , surplus , deposits and circula
tion , and that seventeen such crops would be equal to
all the money in the world.
And Uncle Sam appreciates the efforts of those who
make two bl-ules of grass grow where only one grew be
fore. Through the Department of Agriculture he is
lending co-operation and encouragement to the farmer ,
educating him to employ scientific metuods in the treat
ment of the soil and intelligence in the rotation of crops.
Results show tliat it is worth his Avhile. Toledo Blade.
course is to get them off just as soon
as possible.
It is with the chalk mark upon the
fence that the tramp passes the word
along to his fellows regarding the
character of the people who live in a
house and the treatment which may be
expected.
Xow. if you see a circle with a cross
inside of it. erase that mark as soon
as you can. It means that some time
you or some one within the house gave
a meal to a tramp and he is passing
the word along that "food is given
here. " That sign is an invitation that
no tramp will overlook.
The host thing you can do is to rub
that symbol out and draw another cir
cle with an arrow running out of it.
That sign means "Get away as quickly
as possible. "
You may also draw a box and inside
of this chalk two "X's" which run to
gether. This is the high sign that there
is a dog in the garden.
Or. if you want to be put entirely
beyond the pale of annoyance and mo
lestation , just draw a heavy line , which
looks like a snake with an upraised
head and three' ' curves "in its back.
That will mean to the tramp whose
eye looks upon it. "Poor people in this
house. "
Or , you can simply make a cipher
mark. That means "Xothing doing. "
That these signs are accurate is
vouched for by Inspector George Patter
son , of the bureau of criminal inspec
tion of the Boston police department ,
lie has made a special study of tramp
signs.

Hudson Hay NL-W Outlet to Europe.
Without a doubt , Canada will raise
mlf a billion bushels of grain annual-
y ten years hence , and we shall see
Hudson Bay unrivaled among the
vorld's greatest inland trade arteries ,
? ays J. C. Eliot iu the Technical World V
Magazine. Hudson Bay has beeu pro-
) osed as a new highway for transport-
ng Canadian grain to Liverpool , and
: he fact that the new route would be
L thousand miles shorter than the pres-
; nt way through the Great Lakes and
iverland to Xew York would greatly
educe the transportation cost on
jrain seat to Europe through the Bay.
Jany people todajthink of Nortli-
vestern Canada as a bleak , barren
lountry. as cold as Alaska or Green-
and. But in areas which are iu the
ame latitude as Greenland , fine wheat
rt > ps have been raised. The tremeu-
lous amount of territory that will be
effected by this new grain route makes
ludsou Bay one of the greatest inland
rade arteries of the world. Vast agrl-
ultural lands stretching as far west
.s the Canadian Rockies and a thou-
and miles north of Montreal , are in-
luded within the cost-saving reach of
his Xew-World Mediterranean. The
iew route through Hudson Bay will
> iace the farmers who cultivate GOO
million acres of land , in control of. the
rain markets of the world by making
ossible a . " 0 per cent reduction in cosr
f transportation. To attract and con-

They Thrive on Grape Xut .
Healthy babies don't cry and the
ell-nourished baby that is fed on
I rape-Nuts is never a crying baby ,
lany babies who cannot take any oth-
r food relish the perfect food , Grape-
ruts , and get well.
"My little baby was given up by
liree doctors who said that the con-
ensed milk on which I had fed her
ad ruined the child's stomach. One
f the doctors told me the only thing
) do would be to try Grape-Xuts , so I
ot some and prepared it as follows :
soaked I \ _ ' > tablespoonfuls in one piat
f cold water for half an hour , then I
trained off the liquid and mixed 12
saspoonfuls of this strained Grape-
Tuts juice with six teaspoonfuls of rich
: ilk , put in a pinch of salt and a little
ugar , warmed it and gave it to baby
very two hours.
"In this simple , easy \vay I saved
aby's life and have built her up to a
troug. healthy child , rosy and laugh-
ig. The food must certainly be per-
2ct to have such a wonderful effect
s tliis. I can truthfully say I think
: is the best food in the world to raise
elicate babies on and Is also a deli-
ious healthful food for
grown-ups , aa
e have discovered in our family. "
Grape-Xuts is equally valuable to the
trong , healthy man or woman. It
tands for the true theory of health.
