A former college athlete, one of-the long distance runners, llegan to lose his power of endurance. Ills exper ience .with a change in food is inter esting. "Wnilo I was in training on the track athletic team my daily 'jogs' became a task, until after I was put on Grape-Nuts food for two meals a day. After using the Food for two weeks I felt like a new man. My di gestion was perfect, nerves steady and I was full of energy. "I trained for the mile and the half-mile runs (those events which require so much endurance) and then the long daily 'jogs,' which before had been such a task, were clipped off with ease. I won both events. "The. Grape-Nuis food put me In perfect condition and gave me my 'ginger.' Not only was my physical condition .made perfect, and my weight increased, but my mind was 'made clear and vigorous so that I could get out my studies in about half the time formerly required. Now 'most all of the university men use Grape is* u ta, fo* they have learned its value, but I think my testimony will not be amiss and may perhaps help some one to learn how the best results can be obtained." There's a reason for the effect of Grape-Nuts food on the human body and brain.

"There'? a reason," - - UNCLE SAM L -Carte FARMLRSRLBLLA -<r- i Health Department SE and Flank Must Be C Troughs-Clean ? Florida, N. Y.-Farmers in New York State are receiving from the New York Department of Health let ters setting forth the requirements of the department necessary to insure a pure milk supply for the New York City market. The requirements run all the way from cleaning the window panes of the cowpen to cutting the cow's hair. One farmer who had received a list of the department's requirements de clares that if some of the rules are carried out there will be a serious shortage of milk in the market, as to obey orders would mean a great ex pense and require so much time at tending to the animals that very little profit would result to theowners. The farmer said : " "While the price of milk for the coming six months by one big con trolling concern has bsen advanced sixteen per cent, over last year's price, it must be taken into consider ation that the price of the principal feeds has gone up twenty-five per cent." The same man pointed out that to meet- the requirements more hel would be required and that all thi would eat up the little profit that the cow raiser now makes. In addition It is hard to get competent help. Too Early For Cleaning. One requirement to which- local farmers make strenuous objection is that requiring that the cowshed be thoroughly cleaned before the cows are milked. As the milking is done very early each morning, perhaps long before daylight, lt can be seen that the cleaning process will be al most an impossibility. The farmer is not wealthy, and many of them have not the cash to make the re quired improvements about their premises. "Where are bur very small present profits to come in?" said an owner of several head,, after reading the de partment circular.. "Where is the money to come from to put in a 'non absorbent' fioor and six-inch gutters with rounded comers of the non-ab sorbent material? Are we required to put in lights, so that the feeding troughs be lighted? I am unable to see where it insures pure milk to have the cow see what she is eating, or perhaps hav? the window clean so that she may gaze pensively over the barnyard while she chews her cue. "Another requirement is that all the help be provided with clean suits when they go in "3 make the cows comfortable or relieve them of their milk. My wife would object to that, and farmers' wives never havo much to do." A NICE YC Oklahoma's Constitution is stric JEKYXL-HYDE IN BEAL LIFE.

AUGI?S LAST. ion by Rogers, in the New York Herald, J PURL MILK RULE iys Hair on Cow's Tail )ut and Lights Put in Suits For Milkers. As a general thing the farmers do not believe that epidemic of disease has been caused by the condition of the milk they have sent to the mar ket, and they considerthat the Health Department's demands are beyond reason. Already some are deter mined not to send their milk to New York City, and are arranging to send it elsewhere or dispose of lt locally. Health Department's Requirements. Some of the requirements of the New York Department of Health fol low: That the floors be constructed of concrete or some non-absorbent mate ria!. That the floors be made water tight and properly graded. That the drops or gutters be con structed of concrete, stone, or some non-absorbent material. That they be at least six inches in depth-, with all corners rounded. That the feeding troughs, plat forms and cribs be well lighted and * nt clean at all times. " tat additional windows be in fv.led in the cow barn to provide .Hc!ent light. (Two square feet oi window space for each cow te be the minimum). That the window panes be washed and kept clean at all times. That the walls aid ledges be thor oughly swept down ana kept free from dust, dirt or cobwebs at all times. That an inspection of the herd hf a veterinarian be made and a eopy ol his report forwarded to this depart ment. That the long hairs on the. flanks and tail be clipped and kept short at all times. That clean, special suits be pro vided for all the attendants engaged in the production and handling ol milk. That the milk at all times strained at the milk house, and in ai, atmosphere free from dust or odors. That the milk pails used be of the small-mouthed design, so constructed that they eau beAreadily and thor oughly cleaned, and top opening nol to exceed eight inches in diameter. That racks bo provided in som* suitable place so as to expose the milk palls to the sun or to live steam. That a milk house be built and lo cated on elevated ground, with no hog pen within 100 feet. The New York Health Depart ment's Instructions tell the farmer in conclusion that no milk on his prem ises will bo permitted to be brougnt into the city of New York unless con ditions are remedied within a certair time. >UNG MAIM. tly prohibition.-News Item. -Cartoon from the Pittsburg Press.

Watson of the Pennsylvania College of Agriculture says: How to Increase the productiveness of run down pastures is a question that is confronting many fanners in ihe Mid dle and Eastern States. v? uen we con sider the cause of the unprofitable condition of these pastures wo cease to wonder that they are not remunera tive. Much land in the United States has been cleared of timber that ought never to have been cleared-land that is worth moro to produce timber than anything etee. This land has been wholly clearpd of forests and either seeded artificially or permitted to be come seeded naturally to such grasses and other plants as would maintain Ihemselves under the existing condi tions. These grasses grew more or less luxuriantly fer a time, but finally the, soil becomes so exhausted that they aro now wholly unsatisfactory. The question now is how to restore the fertility of which the soil has been robbed. 3$ie land must be made mon> fertile through the application of plant feed or the growth of leguminous crops, or beth. If the land Is not to be plowed but to remain in grass un doubtedly the owner should seed the land with clovers and grasses early in the spring. A mixture of white clover, alsike and red clover would undoubtedly be better than elmer alone. With these may be mixed timothy and June grass. It is prob able that nature will seed the land to June grass, but some assistance will h?p to make a good turf sooner than if left to nature. A thorough har rowing with a spike-tooth harrow be fore the seeding would be most bene ficial. Immediately after seeding ap ply a top dressing cf barn manure. The manure thus applied will not only furnish plant food for the grass that ls already on the land and the young seeding buf it will form a mulch to protect the young plants and will ma terially help them to become thorough ly established. If the land is not limed this may be applied as tne top dressing some time during the Fall preceding the Spring seeding. Hewho has a good nest finds good friends.-Portugese. . How's This?

Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is the conquering of woman's dread enemy Tumor, The growth of a tumor is so in sidious that frequently its presence is wholly unsuspected until it is well advanced. So called "wandering pains" may come from its early stages or the presence of danger may be made manifest by exc?ssi ve monthly periods accompanied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through thc groin and thigh. If you have mysterious pains, ii there are indications of inflammation or displacements, secure a bottle of Lydia ?. Pinkham's Vegetable Coia Eound, made from native roots and erbs, right away and begin its use. Tb? following letters should con vince every suffering woman of its virtue, and that it actually docs conquer tumors. Mrs. May Fry, of 830 W.

The liberal use-of Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers, (say 2CO to 500 pounds to the acre) will meet this deficiency. You know the highest grades are always cheaper, as they produce greater yields. These fertilizers on account of the phosphoric acid they con tain, promote the growth and development of the grain and hastens maturity ; the nitrogen or ammonia of which they are a part, increases the growth of leaves and stalk and its potash gives strength to the stalk and assists in the development of thc grain. So us? VIRGINIA-CAROLINA FERTILIZERS and greatly "Increaseyour yields per acre." Don't buy any substitute brand, which some dealer may tell you "Is just as good." If he cannot supply you, write us direct for the goods and tell us your dealer's name. VIRGINIA-CAROLINA CHEMICAL COMPANY, SALTS OFFICES: Richmond, Va. Durham, N. C. Baltimore, Md. Norfolk, Va.
