You would not ask Hal Fisher or Dan Manget
to sell you 10-4-4 fertilizer at a price they'
would ask for an 8-2-2. When you buy mixed
feed be sure and see what is on the tag—not
only the analysis, but the ingredients. On
some you will find “oat feed,” which is only
a fancy name for oat hull. Oat hull has no
feeding value whatsoever. You insist on a
feed high in protein and fat, and low in fiber.
If you do this, you will get a pure feed. Note

WHAT IS LIFE TO YOU?
To the preacher life’s a sermon,
To tho joker it's a jest;
To tho miser life is money.
To tho loafer life is rest.
To tho lawyor Hfo's a trial,
To tho poet life’s a song;
To tho doctor life’s a pationt
That needs treatment right along.
To the soldier Hfo’s a battle,
To tho teacher lifo's a school;
Life’s a good thing to tho graftor—
It’s a failure to the fool.
To tho man upon tho onglnc
Life’s a long and heavy grade;
It’s a gamble to tho gomblor,
To tho morchant lira is trade.
Life’s a picture to the artist,
To tho rascal lifo's a fraud;
Life, perhaps, is but a burden
To the man bancath tho hod.
Life is lovely to tho lovar.
To tho playor life’s a play;
Life may bo a load of troublo
To the man upon tho dray.
To the tailor life Is cutting.
To the printer it’s an Impression;
To tho editor life’s a question.
With problems in quick succession.
Life is but one long voention
To tho mnn who loves his work—
Lifo’s an everlasting oflfort
To shun duty, to the shirk.
To the earnest, Christian worker
Life’s a story over now;
Life is what wo try to make it—
Brother, what Is life to you?

Is the happy way to be married
scrappy way?
Is the real emblem of domestic fe
licity the prize fighter’s mitt, and, not
the dove of peace?
Can husbandB and wives really be too
polite, too considerate, and too amiable?
Is the perfect husband or wife not to
be desired, after all?
The average married couple would
answer these questions by saying that
nobody knew, because no man or wo-
man had ever achieved his or her ideal
mate. He or she might have thought
he or she was getting this wonder at
the time of the marriage, but later on
—say five years afterward—well, that’B
different story, and a sad one,
friends.
Undoubtedly we are all in the way of
thinking that the reason that marriage
is so often a failure is because the
high contracting parties are not only
shy on a large proportion of the domes'
tic virtues, but they are also short on
patience, and civility, and tact, and the
most elementary regard for each
other’s rights and personal liberty.
When we see the way in which most
husbands and wives treat each. other
we are not surprised at the sound of
breaking and rending of matrimonial
bonds that we hear ail about us. We
are amazed that any couple remain tied
together.
U appears, however, that you can
overdo a good thing even in matrimony,
and that a husband and wife can be too
perfect, as witness the case of a prom
inent young couple of actors, who have
just separated because they found an
ideal marriage too dull to be endured
This young man and woman were of
the kind of people who take life seri
ously. Before they were married they
had long heart-to-heart talks in which
they discussed the duties and obliga
tions of husbands and wives, and for
mulated a plan for making matrimony
a grand, sweet song.
Ttiey drew up a list of things that
they would do and would refrain from
doing, and pledged themselves never to
speak a harsh word, never to answer
back when the other spoke impatiently,
never to provoke a quarrel, never to be
jealous, or unreasonable, or moody, or
grouchy, but to be always tender, af
fectionate, considerate, patient, for
bearing, and so on.
In short, each was to be a feathered
angel, and their home was to be
heaven on earth; but instead of this
ushering in a domestic millenium as
they anticipated, each soon began to be
bored stiff, and to long to make a few
dents in the perfection of the other.
Life became insupportable. It was
like living on a diet of nothing but
chocolate creams, or in a climate where
there is never anything but the sun
shine, and so the victims of the too
much perfection in marriage are peti
tioning the courts to divorce them.
This case can hardly be considered in
the light of an awful warning, be
cause there are not many people who
err on the side of being too good. But
undoubtedly hard as the faulty husband
or wife is to endure, the perfect one
would still be worse, for there is noth
ing in heaven or earth that is more
exasperating than the individual that is
always right, unless it is the person
who remains cool, calm, and collected
while you are a seething volcano.
It is not in humanity to endure per
fection, especially in its mate, and that
is why the wife of a man who is an ex
ample in the community always wears
a meek, dejected look, while the hus
band of a superior woman is a sight so
abject that it brings tears to the hard
est eyes.
It is also to be observed that the wo
men who are the happieBt and the best
l'ived wives are almost invariably poor,
weak, faulty creatures, who waste their
husbands’ money on fine clothes and
good times, whereas the wives who do
their duty by their families by econo
mizing and working and going Bhubby,
never get any thanks for it. It is also
discouraging to masculine virtue for
men to observe that the moat adored
husbands are thoso whose wives are kept
busy forgiving them things.
Ab a matter of fact, most of tho
theories about married life don't work
out in real experience. For instance,
wives are advised that tho way to keep
a man nailed to his own fireside is to be
always amusing and entertaining and
dreSBed up, nnd to chat gaily with hus
band of an evening, and to sing and
play for him, and to keep something
going all tho time. Con anybody im
agine anything more horrible than
such a home, a homo that was an un
derstudy of a music hall, and a wifo
that leapt nimbly from vaudevillo stunt
to vaudeville stunt?
What you want with a homo is a
place where you can take off your coat
and your collar, and sit on the back of
your neok, and be quiet, without hav
ing to talk, or to bo talked to, or to
have to listen with a polite expression
of an interest you don’t feel. Certainly
to be married to a woman who would
read aloud to you, or render a few op
eratic selections when you wero dead
tired, ought to entitle any man to di-
vorce on the ground of cruel and un
usual punishment.
And, equally objectionable, would be
husband who was such a perfect
gentleman that he always made his
wife feel as if she must have on her
best frock and her company manners,
and before whom she could never per
mit herself the luxury of appearing in
kimono, and saying what was really
on her mind.
Outsiders often wonder at the why
of the family spat. It is so perfectly
useless, and so easily avoided. They
cannot see why the wife should not
have kept Bilent on the topic that is
like waving a red flag before a mad
bull to introduce to her husband’s no
tice. Nor can they see why the man
hasn’t prudence enough to turn away
anger with a soft word.
The real psychology of the domestic
quarrel is that nature is trying to in
fuse a little ginger into domesticity to
keep it fronj getting too monotonous
and ao-'etoying on the domestic palate.
A good round quarrel is the thunder
storm that clears the atmosphere- and
brings fresh ozone into the family circle,
The moral of all of which is that
it is fatal to try to be too good a
band or wife.

Let Food be Medicine.
Many of the most familiar fruits and
vegetables have distinct values. Tho
proper attention to the things we eat
then will make them servo both tho
purposes of food and medicine, and will
enable us to save some of the money
spent on remedies and doctor bills. The
following are some articles of dlot
which are known to have medical quali
ties:
Apples, carrots and Brazil nuts are
excellent for sufferers from constipa
tion.
Asparagus stimulates the kidneys.
BananaB are fattening to sufferers
from cheBt complaints.
Beets are fattening and good for peo
ple who want to put on flesh. So are
potatoes.
Celery and onions are nerve tonics.
Cranberries are a stringent and cor
rect the liver when it is suffering from
inaction caused by overeating.
DateB are nourishing and also pre
vent constipation.
Grape juice is a laxative, but the
skin and seeds are likely to cause con
stipation.
Honey » a good substitute for cod
liver oil.
Lemon juice iB an excellent gargle
for sore throat.
Lettuce has a soothing effect on the
nerves and is excellent for Bufferers
from insomnia.
Onions are conducive to sleep. They
quiet the nerves and are good for colds,
Parsnips, like sarsaparilla, are good
for the blood and to tone up the sys
tern.
Tomatoes are good for a torpid liver,
but they should be avoided by gouty
people.
Water cress is an excellent blood pu
rifier.
Good Reason for His Enthusiasm,
When a man has suffered for several
days with colic, diarrhoea or other form
of bowel complaint and is then cured
sound and well by one or two doses of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diar
rhoea Remedy, as is often the case, it is
but natural that he should be enthusi
astic in hie praise of the remedy, and
especially is this the case of a severe
attack when life is threatened. Try it
when in need of such a remedy. It
never fails. Sold by all dealers.

“The Girl Must Suffer.’
Columbus Enqutrar-Sun.
‘‘By the time you get this I will bo
the river. My life has been ruined
. a man well known. Mon get off
easy, but thegirl must suffer.”
A note, couched in the foregoing
wordB, was recently received by the
chief of police of Pittsburg, Pa. He
hurried an officer to the place where
tho girl was supposed to have gone,
but he did not arrive in time to prevent
her casting herself into the waters, to
riso no more. Her body was not even
recovered. The Now Orleans States
comments upon the tragic incident ub
follows:
Yes. alns, “men get off easy.” That
man, for instance. Woll-known he may
but not for tho troachory which
sent this poor girl into the sholtoring
’ jths. Perhaps woll-known for his
ts to charity, for hiB attendance at
church, for his prominence in the activ
ities of business. Perhaps well-known
a husband and father. He had
amused himself for a time with a pret
ty human toy; had feigned the arts of a
lover to satiate a selfish passion; and
then, tired of the pastime, had thrown
her aside. She lies somewhere in tho
river’s sweep, cold and stark; but he
goes on his way untroubled. Verily,
"the girl must suffer.”
And it painB us to say that it has al
ways boon bo, and that wo very much
fear it will bo so to the end.
For woman, tho matrix of the human
race—the one in whoso soft body, close
to whoso warm heart, all the children
of the race find their way into the
world—lies by nature’s fiat under this
special condition: that for that unique
function, with its tremendous import to
the future, Bhe must guard jealously
her honor, her purity, her fitness for
motherhood.
Men got of easy.” Yes, because
happily the percentage of women who
can bo cheapened, oven deceived, is
small.
Men would go down to swift racial
ruin, uncheercd by offspring, never
knowing tho prldo of fathorhood, un
wept, unsung, if it wore otherwise.
And yet, to make the girl do all the
Buffering, isn’t fair. We ought, as
Christian society, to order it otherwise.
We ought, but when will we?
All of this is quite true, and it is
great pity that it Ib true. Men do got
off easy, but why? Do not tho womon
contribute to their escape? Do they
not aid and abot in their getting off?
We do not mean to charge that they
indorse these reprehensible acts of the
men; for they do not. They, condemn
them, but not sufficiently to prevent
them from “getting off easy. ” And
do they not also contribute to tho suf
fering of tho girl? Did they not help
to fix the law that proscribes tho wo
man, and yet open the doors of tho beBt
homes to the man—tho stronger of the
two—the natural protector of the
weaker? Have they not always done
so, and will they not continue to do so?
Women exact more of their own’ sox
than they do of mon. Thoy do not
make man walk as straightly and cir
cumspectly as they do woman. Why
not? If they should do so, would not
men learn that thoy mUBt revise their
courso in life? If thoy were ostracised
as the women are would there not be
something of a social revolution
throughout the length and breadth of
this great country of ours, and through
out the world?
The woman appears to have agreed
with the man that this law shall be
it is, and as long as this agreomont
holds wo need expect nothing more
than that the men shall "get off easy’
while “the girl must suffer.’’
O, what a pity! What a great pity!
Practicable Plan to Extermi
nate the Fly.
Christian Obsorvor.
Redlands, California, is not a big
place, but it has recently attained wide
fame ns the only “flyleBB" town in the
United States. About a year ago the
fly question was reached in Redlands.
Tho weather was hot and tho town
seemed to swarm with these insects.
The mnyor of that city recently re
marked, “ ‘Thnt swat the flies’ advice is
all wrong. There is absolutely nothing
to it. Wo don’t do it in our town and
wo have made Redlands the most un
healthy burg in the land for a fly to live
in. 1
More Than He Expected.
Husband and wife had a little tiff,
Ho buried his nose in a morning paper,
while she gazed out of the window with
persistent intentness. Thus an hour
and thirty minutes passed. A lady
passed by. Husband dropped his paper
and looked at her admiringly.
‘Ah!” he said, "that’s a fine woman,
And a widow, too. Don’t you think
she’s handsome?”
"Yes, rather. You seem to like wid
ows,”
“Indeed I do. They’re charming.
Husband evidently thought thiB would
pique his wife. But it didn’t.
“Alfred,” she said tenderly, placing
her hand softly on his arm. “Alfred,
was in the wrong a little while ago,
when I became angry with you, and
I'm sorry, so sorry. Will you forgive
your little wifey?”
“Certainly. Don’t say another word
about it.”
"And will you grant a little request I
have to make of you, hubby, dear?”
“Of course. Anything that lies in my
power.”
“You say you think widows are
charming?”
“Yes, I did say so, but ”
“Then make me one; that’s a good
husband. Oh, I Bhall be bo happy!”
How the Trouble Starts.
Constipation is the cause of many ail
ments and disorders that make life
miserable. Take Chamberlain’s Tablets,
keep your bowels regular and you will
avoid these diseases. For sale by all
dealers.
Men may come and men may go, but
the Btream of goBaip flows on forever.
o'f
Well, what do you do to get rid
the flies?” the mayor was asked.
Go out in tho streets of our town
and see for yourself, and hunt up Chap
man, our official fly-catcher.”
This advice was taken. At the first
Btreet porner was noticed a curious ob
ject which proved, on cloBe inspection,
to be a screened frame, twelve inches
square and over two feet high, about
the size of a big square waBte basket.
It was a fly “cage. ” The bottom sat
about two inches from tho ground. In
thiB bottom wbb a cone-Bhaped Bcreen
with the large opening down. Under
thiB was placed a banana peol or other
fly delicacy. Investigation demonstra
ted that the peBts go under the screen,
and, the fight being above, fly up into
the cone and thence through tho small
hole into the cage. Naturally it would
take rather a smart fly to find that little
hole again and get out. Flies instinc
tively fly up and towards the light. So
that cage, with no effort whatever,
catcheB flies by the thousands.
It is so completo that the duties of
the municipal fly-catcher consist simply
in daily baiting the traps, collecting the
flies and burning them. According to
tho report ho filed at the end of his first
month in oflice, September, 1912, he
killed 8,750,000 flies. He had emptied
fifty gallons of flies from 100 traps
scattered through tho business portion
of RodlandB, and ho estimated that
there wero 75,000 flies to a gallon. At
thiB rate of destruction it is no wonder
Redlands soon became a flyless town.
At present, over five hundred fly
trapB are distributed over the little
city. They are to bo seen in every place
—in front of tho municipal building,
the postoffice, tho railroad stations,
many of the big shops and along the
highways, but recently the daily task
of the official fly-catcher has been light.
It was in July a year ago that Mr.
Chapman built his firBt "fly-catcher”
and began experimenting. He found
that if tho trap could be shaded so that
the light would! show higher through
the cone more flies would enter the
cono. He uIbo found that tho traps on
the Bhady side of tho street would al
ways catch more flies than those on the
sunny side. He said:
Working on the basis that the beat
way was not to swat, bo generally ad
vocated, but to capture in large quanti
ties, I devised tho fly-catcher. How
successful they have been only Red
lands knowB. Thoy have kept the
dwellings, and oven the meat markets,
grocery stores and fruit shops, almost
entirely free of flies. The most impor
tant thing in the use of the fly trap is
the bait. Bread and milk is the best,
and it should be frequently renewed.
It should always bo fresh and never al
lowed to dry up, for it then loses its at
tractiveness. The best way to kill the
trapped flies is to immerse the top por
tion of the trap in boiling water; then
destroy the dead flies by burning, de
stroying all the germs that are on
them.”
It is easy to he thankful when we are
prosperous, but it takes real optimism
to be thankful things are no wotse
when wo suffer heavy losses.

edy That J. F- Lee Drug Oo. Sells
on Money Back if Dissatisfied Plan.
You don’t want calomel; you don’t
need it. It shocks the liver. It’s like
taking a heavy club to get action from
a horse when a gentle tap from a small
whip would do the work better.
You surely do need CARSWELL’S
LIVER-AID because it not only puts
action into your liver, but strength,
health and vigor into the whole body
as well.
It drives out the poisons from your
system and does it quickly because it
acta on liver, kidneys, bowels and
stomach all at once.
it is guaranteed to be a purely vege
table liquid remedy that will forever
end the misery of constipation, sick
headache, dizziness, malaria and other
common ailments without the distress
of nausea or griping.
Throw away calomel and get a gen
erous bottle of CARSWELL’S LIVER-
AID to-day. It’B a grand remedy,
harmless and pleasant to take, and
children take it as freely as grown up9.
If it doesn't bring joyful satisfaction
your money back. You can get a
large bottle for 50c. at J. F. Lee Drug
Co. ’a.
