LITTLE WHITE DOG
“I’m only n little white dog. I'm
not very large. In fact I'm reully lit-
tle, really small.
"I'm not partic-
ularly beautiful.
In fact I don’t
believe I'd even
be called pretty.
“My hair is
shaggy and some-
what curly though
It is more apt to
look snarly than
curly.
“Still, my mas-
ter does the best
he can with It.
It 1s difficult hair
with which to do
anything.
“But It doesn't
matter to me that
I am not a big
creature. It doesn't matter to me
that I am not beautiful. It doesn't
matter to me that my hulr Isn’t
pretty.
“Nor does It matter to my master.
That Is the best of all.
“My master Is a fine boy. He goes
to school. He studies lessons out of
many books. It Is surprising to see how
many books he studies and surely he
will be very wise when he grows up,
“He always comes home from
schocl with an armful of books.
“I wonder theh If he Is going to
pay attention to the books and not to

me.
“But no, he doesn't bother about hls
books until much later on when It Is
dark and when I curl up In his lap
or lie by hls feet and rest while he
studies.
“When I was only a wee dog, no
more thnn a puppy, I believe I tore
up a school book once and chewed
some of It.
"Probably I swallowed some knowl-
edge then. But It has never been of
any use to me and It has never been
of any help to me.
“I don't know about anything be-
cause of that book. What I know 1
have learned because of my master
and my own good sense which has
been handed down to one dog after
another for generation after genera-
tion.
“We used to have some wolf an-
cesters years and years ago, they say,
and the way we bury bones and find
them again comes from the old wolf
strain In us which bids us save some
food for a rainy dav.
“Now I don’t mean an actual rainy
day.
“That Is Just an expression which
means a day when things aren't at
their best and when It is well to have
a little something saved for such a
time.
"But, oh, the best of all Is the way
my master loves me and treats me.
“In the summer time he goes to
play In a park nearby. In that park
there Is a little drinking place. My
master puts hls head down over a
spray of water which Is always com-
ing up and has a drink.
“But he doesn't forget about me. He
holds me up in hls arms and he takes
the water In hls hand and I lap It up
from hls hand.
"Of course, I can’t get a great deal
at a time this way and so he holds me
In Ills arms, under hls left arm, to be
exact, and I am given all I want.
"My tongue Is so refreshed. He
dampens It for me. And he doesn’t
think that just
because there
Isn’t a regular
place for dogs to
drink that I must
wait until we get
home.
“And everyone
loves to see my
master’s devotion
to me. I can see
that they think It
Is very sweet.
"No one minds
If I have a drink
from my master’s
hand at this lit-
tle fountain for
the water keeps
bubbling up
fresh ull the
time.
“But, oh, It Is such a wonderful
thing to be loved! It Is such a won-
derful thing to be looked after und
cared for and petted and treated so
well and so affectionately.
“What does It matter If one Is only
a little white dog, not very large and
not beautiful and not even pretty and
whose hair is not the nicest In the
world so long as one Is the pet of a
perfect young master?
“It doesn’t matter in the least!
That’s what this little white dog
says.”

Improve Palatability of
Roughage for Dairy Cows
The farmer who has much low-grade
and unpalatable roughage which he
must feed may find In molasses a
means of greatly Improving the ration
for hls live stock. It hus been found
when roughage Is moistened with di-
luted molusses animals greedily con-
sume It.
Ordinarily cane molasses contains
about 65 per cent sugar, 3.2 per cent
protein, 0.1 per cent mineral matter
and 25.7 per cent water. Being low In
protein, It should be used In place of
corn or similar feeds. It seems .to
have practically the -same feeding
value pound for pound as corn, where
It replaces a part of the corn in the
ration, In spite of the fact that it
contains more water.
This Is probably because cane mo-
lasses has characteristics lacking In
corn. It Is even more palatable and
more digestible than corn. In addi-
tion, It Is slightly laxative and Is fre-
quently used as an appetizer und con-
ditioner. Like linseed oil meal, it hat
the power of putting the sleek, glossy
coats upon animals which are a sure
Indication of good health and vigor.
Cane molasses can be fed to all
classes of farm live stock except young
calves. With them it causes scouring.
Its best use, however, is for animalt
adapted to eating roughage, especial-
ly cattle and horses.
For these animals, the molasses may
be diluted In proportion of one part
by weight of molasses to three parti
of water and then sprinkled over the
roughage or silage. Corn fodder
should, however, be chopped first.
Feeders avoid the chief difficulty In
using molasses by feeding It In this
manner. When given undiluted, the
thick, sticky nature of the molassea
causes practical difficulties.
No benefit will be obtained from
feeding molasses to cattle or liorsei
unless each receives from one pint to
one quart, or from one and one-hall
pounds to three pounds a day. A larg-
er amount can be fed, but usually hot
more thnn five .or six pounds should
be given; otherwise It loses Its superi-
ority over corn ns a feed.
Dairy Cows Need Water
in Sufficient Quantity
Tli» failure to supply cows with
plenty of water Is responsible for many
a poor milk yield. Milk Is largely
water, regardless of all the pleasantries
that have centered about the dairy-
man's pump. A cow must have water
In sufficient quantity to produce milk
Just, as a steam engine must have wa-
ter with which to make steam. It Is
shortsighted dairy economy which
skimps on one of the least expensive
of the many essentials that contribute
to the making of milk through proc-
esses that center In the bovine an-
atomy. A western dairyman, whose
pump got out of order, was unable to
supply drinking water In the stanchion
cups In the stable for about a week.
Milk production from hls herd fell oft
3,700 pounds, representing a loss of
over $100. Another dairyman, whose
equipment did not Include stnnclilon
cups, tried the experiment of giving
hls cows an extra drink of water while
they were In the barn. In five days
hls cows were making six cans of milk
dally Instead of five. The extra la-
bor was well spent and showed a hand-
some profit.
High producing cows In particular
need a great deal of water. Experi-
ments have shown that for each 100
pounds of milk produced gome cows
will consume from twice to almost
three times this weight of water.
Filling Silo in Winter
Is Profitable Practice
The best way to get full value out
of corn fodder and at the same time
utilize to the fullest extent the ca-
pacity of a small silo Is to refill with
cut corn fodder during winter as often
as the silo is empty. The dairy de-
partment of the Iowa State college
has found that, while this kind of
silage Is not as good feed as real
silage it Is go much better than com-
mon corn fodder that the expense and
trouble of filling Is paid for many
times.
Run the dry cornstalks through the
silage cutter, blow It into the silo
along' with a ton of water for each
ton of the cut fodder, and pack It
some. A fermentation and softening
of blade and stalk occurs, and when
the feed comes out It Is eaten almost
as completely as ordinary silage, oth-
erwise stock will not eat half the dry
fodder, and the manure full of long
stalks Is hard to handle. Be sure to
use plenty of water. Remember that
the fodder Is dry and the stalks lack
the juice that goes Into the silo when
corn Is cut green.
Winter Find You Tired and Achy?
Do You Suffer Constant Backache — Feel Old and Worn
Out? Then Follow the Advice of These Good Folks!
T'XO YOU get up these winter mornings
| J feeling tired, weak — achy all over ?
Are you so lame, stiff and miserable
it seems you can never get back in trim?
Does your back ache with a dull, constant
throb? Sharp, rheumatic pains torture you
at every step?
Then you should be giving some attention
to your kidneysl
Winter, you know, is danger time for the
kidneys. That’s because exposure to colds
and chills wears down body resistance and
throws an unusally heavy strain on the
to fall behind in keeping the blood-stream
pure, and poisons accumulate that well
kidneys would have filtered off.
Racking backaches come with stabbing
pains; muscles and joints ache constantly;
there are headaches, too, with dizziness and
distressing kidney irregularites. Nerves are
’’jumpy"; one feels old—all worn out.
Give your weakened kidneys the help
they need. Use Doan’s Pills—a stimulant
diuretic to the kidneys. Doan ’* have helped
thousands. They are recommended by
grateful users everywhere. Ask your neighbor!

“ Use Doan’s,” Say These Good Folks:
MRS. K. WRIGHT, 615 Murray St., Wood-
ward, Okla., says: “I have taken Doan’a Pills
on several occasions when my kidneys have both-
ered me. When I take cold I get pains across the
Bmall of my back and become so lame in my
sides and hips I can hardly do my housework.
Sometimes my kidneys act irregularly and when
I get up I feel tired and languid. I have never'
found anything as good aa Doan’a Pilla for this
trouble."
P. F. ROUSE, E. Rogers St., Poteau, Okla.,
says: “Sometimes I have lameness in my hips
and back and I can hardly get around to do my
work. My work is hard on my back and kidneys,
aa I am out in all kinds of weather. If I take
cold, I have an attack of kidney trouble, but I
take Doan's Pilla right away and they always
cure me of the attack. I have often told others
about Doan’s and how they always help me.”

Teach your child
internal cleanliness
r| *HE mother who permits constipation in her baby c
1 child is risking the health, even the life of her litde
or older
one.
IVmhmg Cham Only TUShim
It must be remembered that an infant is helpless, unable to tell
that constipation is making its life miserable. Consequently
the mother must be able to recognize signs of constipation in
her baby. Convulsions, night terrors, grinding the teeth in sleep,
feverishness, fretfulness and such symptoms—any of these may
indicate that poisons from baby’s stagnant intestine are flood-
ing the little body.
In older children biliousness, coated tongue, loss of appetite
warn the mother that constipation is present. Constipation,
unchecked in youth, may lead to serious consequences. In
constipation, according to intestinal specialists, lies the primary
cause of more than three-quarters of all illness, including the
gTavest diseases of life.
Laxatives Only Aggravate Constipation
The mother should not resort to laxatives. A noted authority
says that laxatives and cathartics do not overcome constipation
but by their continued use tend only to aggravate the condition
and often lead to permanent injury.
Why Physicians Favor Lubrication
Medlral science, through knowledge of the intestinal tract
gained by X-ray observation, has found in lubrication a means of
overcoming constipation. The gentle lubricanL Nujol, penetrates
and softens the hard food waste and hastens its passage through
and out of the body. Thus Nujol brings internal cleanliness.
Mon Important Than
Soap and Water
Not a Medicine
Nujol is used in children s and general hospitals and is prescribed
by physicians throughout the world. Nujol is not a medicine or
laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure water it is harmless.
Let your infant or child have Nujol regularly—and see rosy
cheeks, clear eyes and happiness return once more.
Get rid of constipation and avoid disease by adopting the habit
of internal cleanliness. Take Nujol yourself as regularly as you
brush your teeth or wash your face. For sale by all druggists.
