Make Your Children Healthier and
Happier and Save Doctor’s Bills By
Feeding Them Properly.

Arkansas.
When one stops to consider that it
has been a good many years since all
the progressive farmers became con
vinced that a farm animal, when fed
cn a scientific ration, kept in better
health and was more profitable than
one fed on a “hit and miss” diet, it is
surpassing strange that so many peo
ple should doubt the wisdom of con
sidering a scientific knowledge of
foods in the feeding of human ani
mals. When we consider that what
the scientists have found out would,
if generally known and heeded, un
doubtedly prolong human life, and
keep most of us in better health, 1t is
incomprehensible that the government
should be spending so comparatively
much on the lives and health of swine,
and so comparatively little on the
lives and health of human beings.
Even for him who can understand
nothing but the language of dollars
and cents, healthy children may be
more profitable than healthy horses
and cattle. It takes more money to
maintain a family with sickness in it
than it does to maintain a well one,
for the doctor may take away more
than hogs or horses can bring in.
The kind of food which produces a
healthy human being is of the gravest
importance at any period of life, but
it is of the most importance in child
hood. We are, all of us, what our
foods make us, and if one has been
reared to manhood on a fare which
has made him rugged, full of vitality,
pure blood and abounding heallh, he
is best equipped to meet all the dan
gers which threaten human life. Fur
ther, a youth who is being properly
fed is forming correct food habits.
“Raise a child in the way he should
go, and in his manhood he will not
depart from it,” was not said, only of
character. A mother who feeds her
children on poorly selected food is
putting a more potent curse upon them
than the most ingenious witch could
devise.
On the subject of what is intended
by Nature for animal food there has
been much argument, but the facts of
Nature indicate that, while many oth
er things may be. and probably are.
intended for animal rood, there are,
so far as we actually know, only
three things intended for that purpose.
These are milk, eggs and honey. It
la certain that Nature made these for
that, purpose, and for that purpose
only.
No greater tribute could be paid to
good, pure milk than the citation of
the fact that it is being more and
more recognized not only as a pre
ventive but as a cure for many dis
eases. Just what it is in milk which
gives it its value, not only for main
taining health, but as a specific for
these diseases, cannot be said to have
been determined as yet with absolute
certainty; yet more and more are phy
sicians prescribing it with the great
est success. There have always been
fairly good reasons for believing that
eggs were a form of food that should
never be ofnitted from the diet of
children past infancy, but lately the
scientists have been able to furnish
absolute proof. Dr. McCollum of the
University of Wisconsin fed some
young rats on a diet which was sup
posed to contain all the elements
that were necessary in human food—
protwid, starch, fat, mineral and vit
amines from grains, chemically re
moving everything else fro;n the food,
making it absolutely pure. But the
rats would not grow. When a certain
amount of butter or fats from egg
yolks was added to this diet, the rats
grew. He found that neither olive oil
nor hog fat would serve the purpose.
"Sugar,” in ordinary language,
means merely that commercial prod
uct, usually made from cane sugar,
which is sold as sugar in the grocery
stores. But that which is known as
sugar to the scientists is an element
which is found in many foods, and
some amount of it is undoubtedly
necessary in the human diet. Milk
contains some, and some rruits—
dates for instance, contain a great
deal. White cane sugar contains that
clement, and contains it in a far more
concentrated form than can he found
anywhere else in Nature. However,
honey not only has a more delightful
flavor, but is certainly far more whole
some than cane sugar.
Every farmer who has regard for
the welfare of his family should keep
a cow, chickens, and a few hives of
bees, and supply an abundance or
these foods.

“SMOKY JOE” WOOD FIRST
PLAYED AS AN INFIELDER
Started Baseball Career as Shortstop
but Injuries on Team Gave Him
Chance at Pitcher’s Job.
.Toe Wood started Ills professional
baseball career as a shortstop.
“Smoky Joe,” when an amateur at
Kansas City, Mo., was a pitcher ahd in
fielder. Some one recommended him
lo the Hutchinson (Kan.) team of the
Western association as a shortstop and
Joe grabbed the job.
It was the old story from then on.
All the regular pitchers were crip
pled. manager tore his hair and ejacu
lated,®4^ pitcher, a pitcher—my king
dom for a pitcher.”
Up spake Joe Wood, the hard-hitting
shortstop.
"I am a better pitcher than short
stop. I can hurl the leather so fast
they cannot hit it.”
He was a pitcher from then on, ex
cept that when playing with Kansas
City the following season he first

field positions. The catchers managed
to keep intact or he might luive been
forced to go behind the bat.
"I was some wild man in those days,”
says Joe, reminiscently. “Perhaps I
never would have gotten over it had
It not been for Hack Spencer,.who
was catching for Boston when I joined.
Hack was on his bud behavior then, so
they punished him by making him
warm me up. Now I want to say this
about Ed Spencer: I don’t believe a
better catcher ever lived than he. He
surely did wonders with me, and I be
lieve I owe my success to him."
Something New.
An iris diaphragm in which the size
of the opening can he altered to suit
its user’s eyes forms a new rifle sight.
Telephones small enough for both a
transmitter and a receiver to be car
ried in a vest pocket are a Dutch in
vention.
For boring holes in concrete a crank
operated spring hammer drill that can
deliver 1,500 blows u minute has been
invented.
Steam-driven motor passenger cars
that resemble American gasoline-elec
tric cars have been adopted by a Eu
ropean railroad.
A group of European electricians
decided that better results were ob
tained by placing the carbons in arc
lamps horizontal and one slightly
above the other.
Electrical apparatus taking current
from a light socket has been invented
by a French scientist to purify the
air in a room by literally pumping it
Into a reservoir and washing It.
To display posters in Inaccessible
places a gun has been invented that
shoots a nail carrying a rolled poster,
which unrolls when the nail is shot
Into a surface that will hold it.
Efforts are being made to harness for
the production of power the swift tidal
currents of the Bay of Fundy, where
the tides rise to a greater height than
anywhere else in the world.
Almost all the machines usually
found in a wood-working plant have
been mounted on a motor truck by a
Missouri builder so that the work can
be done on the scene of a contract.
Fatalist Soldiers.
On the British front orders are giv
en out the night before detailing ac
tivities that are to take place the fol
lowing day. The officers then hold a
meeting and “trade” places with each
other where duty would send them to
a spot commanded by one or more of
their personal acquaintances. Wheth
er all men fighting on the other side
of the ocean believe In fate is a mat
ter of conjecture. However, one offi
cer who writes home emphatically j
does. “Again fate has intervened,” he
wrote. “Again I have just escaped a
miraculous death. As usual, we were
ordered to the trenches, and for the
fourth time the man I ‘traded’ with
has been killed.”
Comfort for Soldiers.
A "comfort box" for Americnn sol- |
diers and sailors which has been ap
proved by the war department contains
40 cigarettes, one briar pipe, one can
of tobacco, a package of pipe clean
ers, one bag of cigarette tobacco, one
package of cigarette papers, a box
of safety matches, one cake of sweet
chocolate, one package of chewing
gum, one lead pencil, metallic adjust
able buttons, a spool of cotton thread
and one or two other small articles.
Could you guess whether it was a man
or a woman who planned that box?—

The Difference.
“How was it when those two young
fellows started out together to get
work, one was employed so much
sooner than the other?”
“I guess it was because the latter
waited to accept a position, while the
former went out and looked for a
Job.”
DEATH Of CHEVALIER BAYARD
Gallant French Knight Met End Hero
ically While Leading Fight
Against Traitor's Army.
It was on April 80, 1524, thnt the
Chevalier Bayard was killed in bat
tle. His end was characteristic. En
gaged in a campaign in northern Ituly,
where the imperial army under the
traitor, De Bourbon, was pressing hard
upon the retreating French troops,
Bayard was asked to take the com
mand and savS the nrmy. “It is too
late,” he said, "but my soul is God’s
and my life is my country’s.” Then
putting himself at the head of a body
of men at arms, he held the enemy at
bay until struck down by a ball. He
was thrown from his horse, but re
fused to retire, saying that he had
never shown his back to the enemy.
He was placed against a tree, fac
ing the advancing host. In the want
of a cross he kissed his sword, and
because of the absence of a priest he
confessed to his maitre d’hotel. When
De Bourbon came up and expressed
regret at seeing him in such condition,
he said: “Weep for yourself, sir. For
me, I have nothing to complain of; I
die in the course of my duty to my
country. You triumph in betraying
yours; but your successes are horrible
and the end will be sad." Having
uttered these words the gallant knight
died and was buried by his enemy on
the field with military honors.
