HAD A BAD COED
WITH PROLONGED
COUGHING.
TRIED NEARLY EVERYTHING
FINALLY
DR. WOOD'S
NORWAY NNE SYRUP
CURED HIM.
Mr. Wallace H. Grange, Vancouver,
B.C., writes; "During a cold spell here
about the middle of last October (1913),
I caught a cold which got worse despite
all treatments I could obtain, until
about November 22nd, a friend said,
Why not try Dr. Wood's Norway
Pine Syrup?' Really, I had no faith in
it at the time as I had tried nearly every
other remedy X had heard of, to no avail,
but I thought I would give this last
remedy a trial. I purcliased a 50 cent
bottle, and in three days 1 was feeling
a different man. My cold was so hard,
and the coughing so prolonged, that
vomiting occurred after a hard spell of
coughing. I carried the bottle in my
pocket, and every time I was seized with
a coughing spell I would take a small dose.
I can most heartily recommend Dr.
Wood's Norway Pine Syrup to anyone
with a severe cold, as its power a are most
marvelous, and I never intend being
without it at all times."

PLANT PUZZLES. -
What, For Instance, GUId011 the Vine In
Finding its Suppert?
A plant that actually goes insect
hunting is auseng the latest of the sci-
entific discoveries, it is Known as the
=dew. Its leaves, covered with ten-
taeles, close lis upon a fly the moment
It touchee them and slowly strangle it.
This has long beep familiar to the
naturalists, but it now ,develops that
the plant does not passively wait for
its prey. If a ile alights within a halt
Web of one of the leaves it slowly ap-
proaches the bisect until close enough
to lay hold and destroy, thus demon.
etrating the possession of some sort of
seuse or instinct with which plants are
uot esually supposed to be endowed.
Something of the same sort is meni-
reseed le that plant parasite, the clod -
der. It germinates from seed, sending
out a thin„ threadlike growth, whicle
winds in and out among the grass
etock$ until it dually approaches its
natural victim. Then its growth is
greatly accelerated. In a sense it fair-
ly leaps upou its host and once there
not only fastens to it, but multiplies
with surprising rapidity.
if a stake be driven within a few
inches of a growing sweet pea vine it
will be observed that a tendril drops
from a leaf of the plant In the direc-
tion of the stake. Forthwith the whole
upper shoot of the vine beuds in the
saine direction. and very soon the ten-
dril is. able to fasten itself. The same
observation holds more or less true
with all climbing plants.
Vegetation of various kinds sends
roots through distances, sometimes to
be measured in yards, that they may
reach soil or water below. Science is
asking if the situdew knows that the
tly is near.
Has the vine a method of detecting
he proximity of its support?
Does the plant so situated that its
uourishment is lucking realize that far
below it are eartb and water?
An affirmatiee answer involves the
admission of a seuse or instinct in veg-
etation that corresponds to that in ani-
mal life, and yet those who have stud-
ied the matter most profoundly give
that very answer. -Exchange.
If you carry a torch for yourselves
you cannot keep the light otit of other
peopM's eyes. -Beecher.

THEY' LOST THE PRIZE.
But Then the Contenders Were Only a
Lot of Sea Gulls.
Some earapers at a northern lake
once put a big fish on a sloping rock:
near the water's olge to see what the
gulls would do. •
A soaring Scavenger soon spied it
and swooped down for a feast.
Seizing the fish in his talons the vo-
racious bird dapped its great wings
and screarand greedily as he tried te
• make off with his find.
But the fish was too heavy to be
lifted. The only result of repeated
t attempts was that the fish began to
slide toward the water and soon fell
in with a splaeh.
Diving after It, the gull brougbt it
to the surface, and then began a curi-
ous spectacle. Thee after time the gull
hoisted the esh• as Ugh as his strength
would permit, only to weaken and let
the fist' fill again. The noiee attracted
other gulls and a battle ensued. First
°lie gull and then .another would dive
for the fish, lift it part way above the
water's senesce and be set upon by
other gulls until the fish slipped back,
sacrifice to jealousy and greed.
For almost an hour this struggle
lusted. ending mils,. when all the gulls
were tired out. The prize was lost. '
A fraction of the energy thus spent
in scrapping over an object too big
to handle would have secured for each
gull an ample meat of smaller fish,
with which the lake abounded.
Or, a little eo-operation, instead of
so much crazy competition, would
have lifted the fish to a safe place on
dry land, where all the gulls could
have feasted at their leisure.
, But they were only gulls; 'hungry,
unthinking, gluttonous gulls.
Of course, men would have known
better. Yes? -Cleveland Press.

DIET AND DIGESTION.
Length of Time Different Foods Re-
main in the Stomach.
Few people could make an accurate
guess as to the length of time different
foods remain in the stomach. The,
popular ideas as to what are the most
digestible foods are all wrong, or near-
ly so. In eating chicken, for instance,
one imagines that he is sure of a rapid
digestion, and yet chicken meat re-
mains in the stomach, under normal
conditions, for four hours. Duck,
which IS generally supposed to be
much more difficult to digest than
chicken, remains for only two hours.
A hard boiled egg lasts for four
hours, which is much longer than the
average, whereas boiled fish remains
for only an hour and a half.
It is a very common mistake to sup-
pose that well bolted beef is very easily
digested, while as a matter of fact it
remains in the stomach for six bourse
which is longer than any other com-
mon article of food. Tripe, on the other
hand, remains for only one hour In
the stomach and is one of the easiest
of all foods to digest
, A period of one and a half bolus is
required for apples, celery, cheeee and
oysters, while twice this time is re-
quired by rye bread, onions, sausage or
raw milk. -Boston Herald.

SEASON FOR BROILERS.
Demand For Two Pound Chickens
Comes In Winter and Spring,
The broiler season in New York eity
opens practically in February. Prices

in the New York Sun. There is after

fluctuating. During the last three
months of the year there is little call
for broilers.
A chicken ceases to be a broiler after
It exeeeds two pounds in weight,
dressed. It then enters a class known
as spring chicken. The general de-
mand is for birds that will not exceed
one and one -hair pounds. dressed.
larch usually calls for one and one-
quarter pounds, April for one and one-
half and May for one ana one-quarter
to two pounds.
The broiler for the winter market
must be attractive looking to command
a ready sale at good prices. Plump
chickens, neatly dressed, free from pin
feathers, with unsoiled skin and with
perfectly clean legs, will find a ready
sale, while poor stuff goes begging. A.
Int broiler is a rarity. The best that
van be done, generally, is to have them
plump, fbr the natural tendency of the
chick is to use all nutriment for growth
and development. The main point is to
grow them rapidly.
Some broiler raisers are finding great
virtue in cottonseed meal. It is claimed
that. while It does not fatten, it puts on
flesh. The breast of the broiler at ten
weeks old, it is said, will be as plump
as a partridge's if a small amount of
the cottonseed meal is given daily.
One of the most practical broiler ex-
perts the first day gives nothing but
wheat bran to peck at. The next day
rolled oats are giren, and this is contin-
ued until the chicks are ten days old,
keeping dry bran, charcoal and fine
oyster shell by them all the time. The
chicks are fed every two hours all they
will eat up clean. After ten days he
feeds a moist mash in the morning and
evening composed, of cornmeal, mid-
dlings, bran and ground oats, with
meat scraps in proportion to the age of
tile chicks. It is best to give these
parts by weight At noon be feeds
wheat or cracked corn and keeps green
stuff by them. so they can eat all they
want, until the last two weeks.

Throughout the Year. '
Beginning in the early fall when the
pullets are put in the laying house they
are given green corn fodder cut fine in
a fodder cutter. Stalks, leaves and
ears are cut together in pieces averag-
lng about one-half inch in length. The
birds eat this chopped corn fodder
greedily. 11 is one of the best green
foods for poultry that we have as yet
been able to find, 'writes Professor
Raymond Pearl in a recent Maine ex-
periment station bulletin. Its useful-
ness is limited only by the season
within which it is poSSible to get it.
The feeding of corn fodder is contin-
ued until the frost kills the plants.
When the corn can no longer be used
cabbage is fed. The suPply of this
usually lasts through December. In
the event of the supply of cabbage
failing before It is desirable to start

will occupy less bulk. Copper and an-
timony produce a beautiful violet blue

By mixing together eight parts by
weight of bismuth, five parts of lead
and three parts of grain tin an alloy is
produced which will melt at $o low a

a good conductor of electricity, but if
a little arsenic be mixed with it it be-

er. Lead and antimony are used for
making type metal because the alloy
has the peculiar property of expanding
as it cools. -New York World.
