JL mind and exercise devel-
ops the body, but food supplies
the materials for building mind
and body.

The nutritious starches of the
wheat and barley are partially
pre-digested by 20 hours*

To Make an Arrow Sling.
Hunting with a slingshot is well
known among boys. Using an arrow
shot is better sport, especially when
you make it all, including the arrow,
yourself.
Take a shingle, which will, of course,
lie thicker nt one end than the other,
and cut off a long strip, about four
indies wide, for the arrow. At the
thin end cut a tail. The thicker end
should be made to point for the head.
Balance the arrow on your finger.

XL be a closed model Chevrolet.
The open touring car is best for general farm use. carrying pas-
sengers or perhaps miscellaneous bulky produce or merchan-
dise, but for cold or rainy weather, and for church or social use
the family needs a closed car, either a 2-passenger Utility
Coupe as illustrated, or the 5-paasenger Sedan. The extra
large rear compartment is a feature of the Coup/.
These closed cars are very finely made, furnished, upholstered
and trimmed. The windows are of plate glass and can be
lowered, providing as much air as an open car, yet affording
full protection against wind, rain, snow or cold when raised.
With a second car on a farm, one is always available for those
at home when the other car is out.
The low prices of Chevrolet make the ownership of two cars
feasible for most farm families.

Perhaps they were only pirates of
the sea, and deserved no great charity
from the hand of Fate. Nevertheless,
they were very much human beings
when they found themselves miles out
to sea adrift in an open boat.
With two days’ supply of food and
water, they confidently expected to
be rescued in plenty of time. But
when the third day passed and no
friendly sail appeared on the horizon,
it began to look like a case for Davy
Jones’s locker.
One of the victims, crazy with
thirst, suggested that they divide a
bottle of iodine and end the agony
quickly.
‘‘The tobacco hasn’t given out yet,”
eaid another. “Let’s stick it out a
while longer.” And they did.
Late in the afternoon” of the fifth
day a tramp schooner saw their dis-
tress signals and came valiantly to
the rescue.
“The only thing that kept us going
at all was tobacco,” one of the survi-
vors admitted when
he was safely de-
posited on dry land
again. “Wesmoked
and chewed, and
that sort of kept
us up.” (
