Dairy Products as Food.
The products of the dairy are
perhaps the most useful articles
included in the human diet. A
meal made up of dishes into which
noproduct of the dairy cow enters
would not be such as to inspire
"the turnpike road to people's
hearts I hud lies through their
mouths, or I mistake mankind."
Take away the butter for the
brpad, the cream for the coffee
and the porridge, the shortening
lu the crust and the biscuits, the
milk in the gravy and in the mid
dings, tho cream for the dessert
and the various kinds of cheese
which please and satisfy, then
take away the cup of milk for the
little one and the meal that would
be left would be neither tempting
nor nutritious.
The health of our people de
peuds so much upon an edequate
supply of pure dairy products
that even a scarcity is always at
tended by suffering and death.
Butter is sometimes referred
to as a luxury. This is a mistake.
Butter is not a luxury but one of
the necessities of life, and its
comprsition is such that nothing
can take its place and perform the
Barn 3 functions. It is nature's
product compound in the materu
al organism and the process is in
accordance with nature's law, a
law which man can imitate but
cannot understand. Man can
manufacture from various .fats
and oils a substitute for butter
but it cannot take the pla3e of
nature's product because man
cannot understand the needs of
the human body as nature under
stands them.
The animal body is developed
best when nourished by foods
which have been little manipulat
ed by man and machinery. Dairy
products are, as a rule, consum
ed nearly as nature produced
them. This is particularly true
with milk upon which the grow
ing body must depend, in the
case of butter only a small per
centage of other products are
added to the fat extracted from
the milk. Man only manipulates
it in order to put it in convenient
shape for use. It can still be
termed a product of nature de
signed as only nature can design
for use as food by the human
body.
Grangers' I'ic-Nic.
The annual grangers' picnic

Avgust29to September 3. All

are now living in them.
It is said that a large number
of new exhibitors who are trying
to get stands on the grounds can
not be accommodated.
The ground used in previous
years by gipsy fortune tellers
will bo reserved at the coming
picnic for exhibitors. There will
be no gypsies allowed at the grove
this year.

Letter to Martin M. Bender,
McConnclkburK, Pa.
Dear Sir: The real test of a
point is how many square feet
will a gallon of it cover ? And all
the paints swear they cover 300
square feet two coats. Mildly,
they prevaricate.
L H Ferchaud, builder, 1108
Dupre St., New Orleans, covered
1900 square feet with three gal
Jons Devoe last year; and paints
all his jobs Devoe. That's how
the tale gets to us.
He doesn't say whether one or
two coats. If one, there's noth
ing wonderful in in; if two, they
must have very small feet in New
Orleans.
Devoe doesn't stop at 300 feet;
but over 600! Most paints, we
suppose, can be stretched to 300
feet, but they're mighty thin;
they cover well 150 to 200.
When N R Watkins, Lott,' Tex
as, painted his house before, it
took 13 gallons; Devoe 7 gallons.
That shows the strength of the
paints.
W B McCluney painted a house
m Crystal Springs, Miss., to test
two pure paints; one coat 6 gal
lons Devoe; the other coat 10 gal
lons of a New Orleans paint. That
shows the strength of the paints.
Surfaces differ; one takes more
another less. Devoe covers more
than any other paint; two to one
in the case of half the paints.
But how many it covers, we do'nt
know till we see tha surface.
Yours truly

Walnut Grove Campmeeting.
The Walnut Grove Cunpmeet
iog closed on Sunday night. The
crowd was very large on Sunday.
Some person succeeded in pass
ing counterfeit money at both the
boarding house and restaurent
The counterfeit is a good imita
tion of a silver dollar but is
thicker and much lighter. It
can only be passed in a crowd
where change is made in haste.
Olher large gatherings should be
on the lookout for this man. An
attempt was made to close the
camp with an injunction but
Judge Wcods refused to grapt
the injunction and the campmeet
ing went on pleasantly to the
eiid. The Ass jciat ion will meet
in Grange Hall, Maddensville,
Monday evening, September 5th
to transact business and to make
arrangemets for the future.
Struck a Rich Mine.
S. W. Bends, of Coal City, Ala.,
says he struck a perfect mine of
health in Dr. King's New Life
Pills, tor they cured hun of liver

of suffering. They are the best
pills on earth for constipation,
malaria, headache, dyspepsia, de
bility, 25c at Trout's drug store.
Morses in Demand.
Twenty-five years ago street
railway companies were the lar
gest purchasers of horses. When
electric power was adopted the
stables were used for other pur
poses, and the world was inform
ed that the market for burses
was killed by the trolly and that
horse dealers must find other oc
cupations. A few years later bi
cycles .appeired in countless
thousands and the horse received
another death blow. In 1900 the
motor car began to take practical"
form and the horse was again de
clared to, be an encumbrance on
the earth. But the predictions
were false; the horse survived
every onslaught, and the more
the people used the trolly car, hi
cycles and antomobiles the more
insistant was the demand for the
horses. The establishment of
new horse shoe factories after
tho automobile made a place for
itself appears to afford conclusive
testimony to the popularity of the
horse. Prices, also, have been
naintained, desirable horses sell
ngnow for from $250 to 400.
The statement that last year the
value of horses in the Ucited
States increased over if 350, 000,000
or three times the increase of the
value of American automobiles
built during the same period, is
calculated to impress upon the
average observer the fact that
this is by no means the "horse
less age" described in the motor
car catalogues.
Subtcribe for thb "News, 'only
11.00 ayear,
And a Suggestion as to Why We Buy
Things by the Dozen. '
Did it ever occur to you as
strange that while we count by
tens we buy so many articles by
the dozen? If we ask the price
of apples, oranges, oysters, eggs
collars, handkerchiefs and many
other things we will be told so
many cents or dollars a dozen
or if large quantities are wanted
so much a gross, which means a
dozen dozen.
How do you suppose this has
come about? It was th s way
Nearly all savage people count by
their fingers that is, if they
want to tell you they have seen
two wild beasts they will hold up
two fingers, and if ten they will
hold up both hands," and if twenty
both hands twice, and so on. Ba
bios also learn to count by their
fingers and toes, and to many
people it seems as if that were
the only possible way.
It is, however, rather a clumsy
way, as you find out when you
try to divide ten. Say, for exam
pie, you have ten apples. You
can only made an equal division
among two or five persons, while
if you have twelve you can give
an equal number to two, three,
four or six. We find the same
inconvenience in dividing a dollar
and often have to pay 13 cents
for what should properly cost 12
cents.
If we had been boru with two,
four, six or eight fingers or toes
like some animals, it is possible
that we should have counted dif
ferently, but it does not now seem
likely there will ever be any
change in the ten or decumal sys
tem, as it is called, especially
since tha Arabic numerals now
used nearly every where are based
on this system. Brooklyn Eagle,
