STINTING THE FARMER BOY.
Oliver Turn at 12 years was a
normal, rugged farm boy, who gave
promise of developing into a man
of the same stalwart type as his
father and grandfather. But
Oliver's father was short of help
and as the boy was willing he was
put to work. His school terms
were cut down to four months a
year and the lad began to pride
himself that he could make a “full
hand" on the farm.
After five years Oliver's father
was in better circumstances and
sent the boy away to school. At
once Oliver was dubbed the “runt”
by his classmates. Five years of
man’s work, dragging heavy plows
around the corners and eating
hasty meals of fat soaked food had
stunted him. Oliver is today a
fairly well to do farmer of 30, but
he is still undersized, calloused and
stooping as he was at 20. His di
gestion is bad, his teeth are gone
and his eyes are none too good, re
marks a writer in the Country Gen
tleman.
This is a case from real life—ex
cept that the boy’s name isn't
Oliver which illustrates what Dr.
Crank Bi'lings meant recently
when he said to Chicago physicians:
“On Americans farms the boy
who gains that physique which
makes for a better, stonger indi
vidual, if he continues to do too
hard work with too much depriva
tion of the pleasures of the world
eating the food that the poor
American farmer usually places
upon his table, loses as good as he
gained by the time he is forty years
old.”
A country boy has advantages
over the city boy, but he can be
robbed of those advantages by the
short sighted parents.
People who have plenty of time
to kill are seldom punctual.
One does not make both ends
meet by traveling in a circle.
The high cost of experince does
not always indicate its true value.
0 Some men keep their word so
well that nobody ever finds it out.
1 lalf the people fear a crisis if a
certain thing is done; and the other
half fear a crisis if it is not done.
The character of covetousness
is what a man generally acquires
more through some niggardiness or
ill grace in little and inconsiderable
things than in expenses of any con
sequences. A very few pounds a
year would ease that man of the
scandal of avarice. —Pope.
“We need someone to believe in
us—if we do well, we want our
work commended, our faith corro
borated. The individual who
things well of you, who keeps his
mind on your qualities, and does
not look for flaws, is your friend.
Who is my friend? I’ll tell you, he
is one who recognized the good in
me.”— Elbert Hubbard.

Which Do You Prefer?
It is important for reasons of health and
practical economy for every housekeeper
to ask herself this question:
“ Do I prefer a pure baking powder like
Dr. Price’s, made of cream of tartar derived
from grapes, or am I willing to use a baking
powder made of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources ? ”
The names of the ingredients printed
on the label show whether the kind you
are now using or any brand, new or old,
that may be offered is a genuine cream
of tartar powder, or merely a phosphate
or alum compound.
There is no alum nor phosphate in

F. E. Wood Killed.
Floyd E. Wood, who looked after
the timber interest of the Union
Saw Mill company, met a tragic
death near logging camp No. 4
Thursday afternoon. In company
with Camp Foreman G. C. Pyle he
had been engaged in running land
lines and they were preparing to
eat their lunch about noon. Mr.
Wood had seated himself on a small
log and just as Mr. Pyle started to
do so he heard a noise in the tree
above and looking up saw a loose
limb thut had lodged there start to
fall: he told Mr. Wood to look out
and jumped from under it. Mr.
Wood being seated did not succeed
in getting up and out of the way
and was struck on the head with
the limb causing concussion of the
brain. He was carried to Spencer,

here and rushed to that place to

was 29 years, 9 month and 8 days
of age at the ime of his death. He

about three years and was in the
employ of the Wisconsin Lumber
company up until about six months
ago. Me was a very sociable char
acter and all who knew him were
his friends and his untimely and
tragic death has cast a pall over
the community. His loving wife
and parents have the heartfelt sym
pathy of all in their hour of trial.
He was an active member of
