? -**♦' Old Sidman’s * ‘ Sirup • *********************** • Dy CLARA DELAFIELD I .................. (®, It'..:, Western Newspaper Union.) /"NLD SIDMAN was 111. Sidman was [ very 111. it was nut exactly old uge, [ lor lie was only u little pust sixty. 1 But some people, when they grow old, lose Interest In life. Sldiuun was losing lliteiest In life. This was peculiar, In Its way. Ho had u nice wife, a lovely daughter, and u magnificent home in the suburbs. Sidman was nearly u millionaire. Lite was at Ids beck and cull. He was the Inventor of that world-renowned remedy Sidman's Sirup. He revealed the cause of Ills worldwAriness to Ids wife In u moment of despondency. •Tact is, I'm a fake, Mamie,” he said. "I’ve spent my life piling up millions fooling the populace, and I guess It's come home to roost. That there sirup—” "Now, darling. I won't hear a word against Sidman’s Sirup,” replied Ids wife, for she firmly believed in the proprietary remedy. She used it for everything from sprains to asthma. So did Susie, the daughter. So did the maids. Lviak Sidman's friends took his sirup occasionally, for bronchitis or chilblains. "It's water, dearie," said Sidman in a broken whisper. ‘‘Water and advertising and a few harmless herbs. And that's what's got me.” Mamie Sidman was not convinced. It i' hard to persuade a loving woman that you are an impostor. Mrs. Sidman had always believed In Sidman's Sirup and always would. "It's the herbs that make It what it is.” she answered. "Those wonderful herbs gathered by night on the dew-swept hills of India." "It's the advertising,” said Sidman with weak conviction. Mrs. Sidman took the matter to the family doctor. "My husbands got a delusion that his wonderful remedy Is u fake, doctor,” she said. The doctor, who knew it was a fake, hemmed and hawed. "So that's what’s wearing him away?” "That's it, doctor. He thinks he's spent ids life making money out of a fake. How can it be a fake,” she continued indignantly, "when only last month the maid had such a bad headache. I gave her a dose of Sidman's Sirup and a little aspirin and sent her to bed, and next morning she woke up perfectly well.” “We must get that idea out of his system, then," said t..e doctor, who was a diplomatist. "It once we can convince him that his sirup Is not a fake he w ill begin to mend.” Three days later, when Sidman was a little better, the doctor came to him with an air of professional secrecy. “Well, Mr. Sidman, we’ve turned the corner at last,” he said, "and I'm going to reveal to you what's done it. I’ve been treating you with your own sirup.” "What’s that?” shouted Sidman incredulously. "The most wonderful stuff ever invented,” said the doctor, and went on w Ith a noble lie. "I’ve prescribed your sirup in my practice constantly for years past, but I never tried it before in such a complicated case as yours. Hereafter I shall prescribe Sidman’s Sirup for everything.” "But it's only colored water and a few herbs,” exclaimed Sidman. “It may be so, my friend, but those herbs have done the trick. Henceforward you will mead steadily. And you must never let a day go by without using your magnificent sirup.” A w eek later Sidman was out of bed. A month later he was at his office, with all the interest in life renewed, dictating the contents for a new advertising folder about Sidman’s Sirup. “Doctor, you're a wonderful person." said Mrs. Sidman. "I just knew that his sirup would cure h?m. But he had got so downhearted that he couldn't even be persuaded to try it. Now that he believes in his again he's like a different man.” “Ye-es,” said the doctor, and went away. "Funny thing,” he confided to a professional friend. "I was telling you how old Sidman had lost his grip because he didn't believe in his sirup any more. "Well, I pretended to the old boy that I was curing him with his own medicine. He thought he was taking doses of Sidman's Sirup three times a day, and it positively made a new man of him. Actually what do you suppose I was giving him?” “Tonics, hypophosphates—” "Nope. Colored water. In fact, it was, in away, Sidman's Sirup, and just as innocuous. . But it fooled him just as he fooled the public." The other laughed. ‘The .mind certainly works wonders,” he said. "Yep. The mind or the advertising,” replied Sidman’s doctor. — "Bad Form" in Conversation. It was said of a well-known Englishman, famed for his wit and intuition, timt “lie was a great gentleman and did not talk to score.” Herein is indicated one of the commonest failures among people who, in this sense at any rate, are not finely bred. They v, ill score over a conversational opponent at any price. They love to win, and. ns they would express It, "to wipe the floor w ith the other man.” There are women too, who are not satisfied when talking with other women unless they can "go one better” than the previous speaker every time. "Sparring” is hardly ever agreeable; too often it verges on bad form, which means inconsiderateuess.—Exchange.

BUSINESS METHODS NEEDFUL Dairy Industry li AM Right for Making Money If Some Good System is Followed. The trouble with the dairy business lies mostly with the methods vs the men in the business. Some dairymen prosper while their neighbors fall by the wayside. The dairy business is all right, but It take* good business methods to muke profits, says M. H. Keeney, dairy specialist of the New Jersey College of Agriculture. The coming year will not be particularly different from any other year In the dairy business. The specialist suggests the good dairymen's methods should be analyzed and applied to the average dairy business. Know your cows, he says. Good dairymen know what their cows are doing. They keep milk records, weed out the unprofitable cows, raise heifer calves from the best cows and thereby Improve their herds. You can't guess at these things and get ahead. It takes records to get the facts. Good dairymen are good feeders. They feed balanced rations and according to production. They have silos, alfalfa or clover hay and feed liberally of grain. Circular 127, of the New Jersey state agricultural experiment station, is used as a feeding guide by thousands of good dairymen. It is free upon request to the station at New Brunswick. All of our best dairymen use purebred bulls because they know It pays. A good bull will remake a poor herd into a good one. but a poor bull will ruin any herd and may put his owner in the poorhouse. A good bull is the best investment any dairyman can make. You never have and never will see a man succeed with scrubs. It takes good cows to nuike money and the bull Is the main factor In getting better cows. Good dairymen observe all of these things and apply them in their business. They will make money In 1923. PLAN FOR IMPROVING HERDS Fundamental Rules of Fitting Must Be Understood to Have Cows in Good Condition. If the dairy breeds are to be Improved and brought up to maximum milk and butterfat production so that the science of breeding may be brought down to more nearly a problem of mathematics, then the good cows of the leading breeds must be given credible official records. Fundamental rules of fitting must be understood and observed to have the cows in condition to make good records. and then fundamental rules of feeding must be fully understood and appreciated in feeding them when they are undergoing tire test. KEEP RECORD OF DAIRY COW Spring Scale Placed In Convenient Place Will Make Matter of Weighing Easy Task. Keep a record of the number of pounds of milk given by each cow. Bang a spring scale in a convenient place where the milk can easily be weighed, and mark down the weight of each milking on a chart prepared for the purpose. At the end of every month, add up the amount of milk produced to determine the monthly record. Tlie year's record will show the amount of milk produced by each cow. WATER AND SALT ESSENTIAL Two Important Ingredients Must Be Supplied to Calf for Its Best Development. At all times calves should have access to a quantity of fresh water. In the development of the calf, water is a very essential factor and plenty of it is riot amiss. When the calf is four weeks old It should have one-fourth ounce of salt each day and the quantity should be increased as the animal matures. In six months it should be able to take as much as one-third ounce per day. Salt should be fed in connection with The feed. SUPERIOR RATION FOR CALF Important to Get Young Animal on Skim Milk With Grain and Hay Soon as Possible. Get the calves to take a good ration of skim milk with some hay and grain as soon as possible. For the first two weeks after birth a small calf such as an average Jersey should receive about eight pounds or four quarts of milk daily fed In two or three feeds a day. A large calf such as a Holstein may be given ten or twelve pounds daily. Cause of Calf Bloat. Bloat in calves is often caused by too much leafy clover or alfalfa. Except in severe cases very little treatment ts given. In severe cases it may be necessary to use the trocar to let out the gas. In such a efise a competent veterinarian should be called. Vermin Pester Calves. Lice on calves are common. They make the calf uncomfortable, take Its strength, and make the hair come out in patches. Many methods of getting rid of lice have been practiced.
