That was when he was Just baby. He suf fered a good deal before I gaT him Fig Syrup, but it stopped his trouble quick. I have used it with him foi colds and little upset spells ever since I consider him a Fig Syrup boy." Insist on the genuine article. See that the carton bears the word "Cali fornia."

Records show the raisins have fully this value a feed. On former tests. It is said, the raisins were of such poor quality that feeder were discouraged, but when a better quality was tried good results were obtained. If a large enough demand is created It is thought that the aver age market price can be brought up by this use of surplus raisins. Cap per's Weekly.

CHAPTER II It was a pleasant tonse, the old brown Methodist parsonage at Ited Thrush, Iowa. While it was old In point of years. It was oot cslled the old parsonage for Its age, but because s new one was In projection. It Is true that It twisted all modern Improvements, but ihey were Im provements so obviously added to cuter to a progressive generation that they fitted but Inharmonlously Into Its gen eral contour. The bathroom bad been painstakingly Installed In a corner bedroom. Electricity bsd been wired in, st ss little expense ss possible. A furnace bad been Introduced Into a cellar room, and st that time, to fa cllitate the piping, the partition be tween parlor and sitting room bad been removed to make one targe llv Ing room. Id strict conformity with the style. It was the living room which boasted the second charm ot the old bouse, in the form of a circular staircase rls Ing grandly from tha back of the room. Perhaps. In the most technical phraseology. It was not altogether s Clrcdlar ktalrcase, but It curved grace fully upward, and gave lbs some effect The girls loved It But where the old pnrsonnge was merely of s drab pleasantness, the new one was to be a mot.el of modern architecture. It was to have electric refrigeration a parsonage I Only five bouses In Ited Thrush had electric re frlgerallon the new parsonage would be the sixth. in the truk sense ol the "Discipline.' the old parsonage was uo pursoiiug st all. It was merely j house, owned by a member, and rented to the church for Its pustornl use for ten dollars s month. The Methodist church had thrust Its small spire above the sur rounding maples wnen there were no more than s dozen nouses Id the township, s staunch Utile testimony to the Indefatigable determination ol early Methodism. The bulMIng It self bad oot beea much In Its best days, sod was Dothlng at all In these, Its worst ones As anything but a church It would have been abandoned for practical purposes years sgo. It was the growing realization and It takes s church group niuny years to grow np to this realization of the aboalute need for more ample accom modations that brought Mr. Tolllver to Red Thrush. The district super tntendent bsd been asked to pick out a "hustler" to put the new church over on the congregation. Mr. Tol llver was known as a bustler, and so bs came with bis four daughters to tha shabby brown parsonage In the maple grove beside the old brown church. It was the nervous strain of ovtr work attendant upon bustling tha new church into iRed Thrush that finally resulted Id a nervous reaction and physical wearing down which led si laat to temporary blindness, a cloud over bis eyes, a thick mist fogging bis vision.

But before this catastrophe, the church was an assured fuct Within a few weeks, by the first of Septem ber st latest, It would be ready for Its formal opening. The new par sonage existed In blue print After all, a few months of blindness was a small price to pay for this achieve ment Freedom from worry, the doctors promised, complete real and mental ease would soon restore his sight, and Mr. Tolllver. although greatly Imuill capped In his work. :ld not worry as to the final outcome. True, upon his first visit lo the doc-tors, some three months previous, they bad thought s month's time would ue amply suffi cient for bis recovery, and at the end of the month the mis" wus still chirk upon him. Another month, and still the mist tie should have returned some dnys ago for 4 third examine tlon and treatment, hut the tlnumlnl situation In the parnnge wus such as to render this iMposslble. Iletoid himself there was no hurry, he would go soon. For what with the travel, and hotel extivrises. and medical (rent menu the burden of his misfortune waa more financial tluin physical.

If sometimes the girls felt that tea dollars s month could belter be spared from tht church than trom the parsonage, that the Lord In Ills afflu ence might heltei be deprived than the pastor In his poverty, they did not complain. Ellen thought shout It of course, for she was turbulent given to turbulent thoughts It was her birth which had coat tha borne Its mother. I'erhaps It was sorry kuowlerige ot what she bad cost the family that stirred ber to s great eagerness to do something for them, that determined ber to carry life be fore ber with s blgb and triumphant hand. I'erhaps It was only her youth, for she was not yet seventeen. It was for this turbulence ot hers that she waa known as Ginger Ella. Helen, who was twenty-three years old, after two years of training at the normal school, bad served for two years as a tescher Its a neighboring town. Her small check coming Into the parsonage every month had meant something almost akin to richness, antll the unaccustomed expense of medical treatments bad made sucb voracious demands opoo them.

To perform this double function, three, types of kidneys have been ovolved, Tho developing human embryo, as well as embryos of other mammals, rehearses tills story, nil three typos appearing In preimtnl llfo. The alimentary canal appears first as a closed tube within the body, It opens Inter lit each end, the tipper opening becoming part of the mouth cavity, llelow tills opening four crevices sppear which represent the Internal arrangement of the flsh-llke gill-clefts llelow these crevices a single aac-llke structure npiieursi this divides, and hy further subdivisions becomes the right and left lung. From the region of the crevices outgrowths of the alimentary canal develop Into thyroid, epltbyrold, and thymus glands From the extreme upper end nf the embryonic canal develops s portion of another Important gland, the pituitary. The stomach at first is merely an en largement of the citnal. Just below the stomach two oul growths of the cntml develop Into the Important glands of digestion, puncreus and liver. Without further details of fetal de velopment It will lie worth while to recall certain variations In the sys tems of digestion, respiration, and cir culation, which are aigntflcant Id tight of our animal ancestors. Our dentition Is ss well adapted for spinach aa for beefsteak, special ized for neither. Man, apes, snd Old world monkeys have thirty-two teeth, right on each aide of each Jaw; two Incisors, one canine, two hlctmplds, three molars. Man's mammalian ancestor had forty four teeth, three Incisors, one canine, three bicuspids, four molars. Most Dalies have teeth In the roof of the mouth ss well as In the Jaws proper. They do not occur In "sets." but are endlessly abed and repro duced. In the flah embryo the dental genua appear before the Jawbones: In the human embryo also. In the In fant's mouth Is s ridge with from five to seven pairs of crma ridges; they are even more pronounced In Ihc fetus. They dlsappesr with age. Apes have ten pairs of these ridges. In pigs, they are strong enough to rruh food. Their presence In man, with an occasional more or Ices complete third set of teeth, points to fish and reptile days; teeth In the roof of th mouth, endlessly replaced. Tonsils apiear In Mnl life as pockets. They shift position ami de velop Into prominent bodies. With adult life they begin to dlMtpenr, leaving pockets prone to disease. They are not understood and are never alike. The cricket's chirp waa the first music on earth, but It was Instru mental. The first voice was the sm plilblnns. Frog, bird, rat. dog, and man would lie silent without a larynx; without the human larynx there could have been no human speech or Tower of Bnliet. Ours ts a wonderful liirynx; let ns get an. h Joy aa we can from It. Our developing respiratory system suggests fish; In our youth It is) a hoi bed of Infection. Our vocal cords are human only In their high development Hut we all have tha blind pocket between true and false cords which served aa a resonal.n and so strengthened the ronr by which our ancestors frightened their foes and culled their mates.
