The Man Who Said: 
“ The proof of the pudding 
is in the eating ”— 
was only half through 
He started a good pudding- 
proof, but he didn’t finish it. 
There’s a lot of trouble in 
the world from puddings that 
taste good but don’t do good. 
They “eat” well, but that 
ends the recommendation. 
Sanitariums are full of pud¬ 
ding-eaters who stopped the test at 
taste and forgot to inquire whether 
their food gave the body what it 
needed—until the body rebelled. 
Grape-Nuts is a food that 
tastes good and does good. The 
proof of Grape-Nuts begins in the 
eating and goes on through the 
splendid service which Grape- 
Nuts renders as a real food . 
Grape-Nuts is the perfected good¬ 
ness of wheat and malted barley 
—delicious to taste, easy to di¬ 
gest, and exceptionally rich in 
nourishment for body and brain.

THE ONTARIO RED RASPBERRY 
!h not usually a full bearer, but the above stein of blossoms, green ami ripe berries, was picked and photographed 
September 6. 1921. The Ontario is the best Red Raspberry ever produced, and will take the place of all other kinds 
in the home garden and commercial plantation. Reports show the Ontario remarkably successful in the South 
and West. Set plants this fall. Berry plant circular free. A. B. KATKAM1KK, Muccdon, X. Y.

[ ises, and where he frequently walks. The 
attack was sudden and sharp, and took 
all the joy out of life for several weeks. 
The explanation of this newly acquired 
susceptibility probably lies in an affection 
of the nasal passages from which he suf¬ 
fers and which removed the protection 
which an entirely healthy nasal mucous 
membrane formerly gave him. 
3. This eruption on the heads of your 
fowls is probably chicken pox, as your 
neighbor says. Paint the sores with tinc¬ 
ture of iodine and keep the affected fowls 
away from the healthy ones until they arc 
well. 
4. Loam is the fine, friable soil which 
we value because of its ability to hold 
moisture and plant food, and which we 
distinguish from sand and gravel on the 
one hand and clay on the other. This 
loam may be dark, from the presence of 
decayed vegetable matter, or lighter in 
color if lacking that. Like other types 
of soil, it is made up from broken-down 
and disintegrated rock, from the remains 
of vegetable and animal life, and from 
the deposits from the water that has per¬ 
colated through it. It is loam, instead 
of siind or gravel, because the particles 
which make it. up are inUch smaller than 
they are in sandy or gravelly soil; and 
it is loam instead of clay because its 
particles are much larger than those of 
clay. It occupies, then, an intermediate 
position between sand and clay and is 
preferable to either as a home for vege¬ 
tation. Of course we seldom find any 
tillable soil that is made up entirely from 
any one of the above mentioned classes 
of soils. Particles of all sizes are found 
in any soil. If there is a large amount 
of sand mixed with loam we call the soil 
a sandy loam, or a loamy sand. If the 
very fine particles of clay are much in 
evidence in the soil we call it a clay 
loam, or a loamy clay, and one type may 
shade into another until we are puzzled 
to know just what to call it. m. b. p. 
The Fur Outlook 
This business, which has been dull for 
some time, appears to be picking up. 
Recent auctions held in Montreal and 
New York showed advances in most items 
over the Spring sales. Muskrat ran from

When sending raw furs to dealers it is 
well to instruct them to “hold separate” 
until price is reported and consent for 
sale received. Any reputable dealer will 
do this, and misunderstanding and argu¬ 
ment can thus be avoided.

Wonderful Home Light 
New Gasoline Lamp Gives 300 Candle 
Power Brilliance at Low Cost. 
A gasoline lamp that gives more light 
than 20 old style oil lamps, at about 
one-tenth the cost, is the leading product of 
the Coleman Lamp Co., Wichita, Kans. 
This remarkable 
lamp is known as 
the Quick-Lite. It 
generates its own gas 
from common motor 
gasoline, and is so 
simple in construc¬ 
tion that even a child 
can operate it. 
The Coleman 
“ Quick-Lite” is 
safe, dependable and 
economical. Unlike 
othergasoline lamps, 
the Quick-Lite lights 
with ordinary match¬ 
es. Nearly a million 
are in use in Ameri¬ 
can homes. Thousands more are used to 
light stores, halls, churches, etc. The 
Quick-Lite is gaining wide favor in cities, 
too. Many claim it is superior to electricity 
because the light is soft and restful to the 
eyes. 
The above picture shows one of several 
models. More than 30,000 dealers sell 
“ Quick-Lites.” Anyone interested in better 
light may see this lamp lighted at a nearby 
hardware or general store. Full informa¬ 
tion, together with an interesting booklet, 
may be had free by addressing the COLEMAN 
LAMP CO., Desk A-5, Wichita, Kansas.
