Aesop In “Little Italy. »t
A school teacher in the Italian quar¬
ter of an American o’ty told her
children the story of the fox and the
grapes. Tony was especially delight
led with the story, and eagerly sought
(his chum., Joe, who was in another
class. By good luck, the teacher over¬
heard Tony’s version.
In his excited, broken English he
•told the fable much as it is written,
until he came to the end. This was
ihis rendering of the climax;
“De olda fox he say, “De grape no
good, anyhow; alia sour! I guess I
go getta de banan’.’ ”—Youth’s Com¬
panion.
Petroleum Production Is Large.
The petroleum production of the
United States in 1907, says the Geo¬
logical Survey report was character¬
ized by a total output far in excess
of any previous year, an unparalleled
accumulation of stocks, in spite of
which the price of all grades of oil
•was kept at a high level. Sensation¬
al developments were the great in¬
crease in the new Illinois field and
the phenomenal yield of Oklahoma,
together with increase in both quan¬
tity and price in California, The
total product was 166,095,335 barrels
in 1907, an increase over 1906 of 39,-
601,399 barrels, or more than the total
nroduct of petroleum in any year up
to 1889. The total value increased
from $92,444,735 in 1906 to $120,106,-
749 in 1907. The average price de¬
creased only slightly.—New York Her¬
ald.
NEW LIFE
Found In Change to Right Food.
After one suffers from acid dyspep¬
sia, sour stomach, for months and
then finds the remedy Is in getting
the”right kind of food, it is something
to speak out about.
A N. Y. lady and her young son
had such an experience, and she
wants others to know how to get re
lief. She writes:
“For about fifteen months my lit¬
tle boy and myself had suffered with
sour stomach, We were unable to
retain much of anything we ate.
“After suffering in this way for so
long I decided to consult a specialist
in stomach diseases. Instead of pre¬
scribing drugs, he put us both on
Grape-Nuts, and we began to improve
immediately. life, I
< ‘ It was the key to a new
found we had been eating too much
heavy food which we could not digest.
In a few weeks after commencing
Grape-Nuts I was able to do mj
housework. I wake in the morning
with a clear head and feel rested and
have no sour stomach, My boy sleeps
well and wakes with a laugh.
“We have regained our lost weight
and continue to eat Grape-Nuts for
both the morning and evening meals.
We are well and happy and owe it to
Grape-Nuts.” “There’s a Reason.”

Lena V. Henry, of Norristown, Ga.,
writes to Mrs. Linkham:
U I suffered untold misery from fe¬
male troubles. My doctor said an opera¬
tion was the only chance I had, and I
dreaded it almost as much as death.
“ One day I read how other women
had been cured by Lydia E. Pinkliam’s
Vegetable Compound, and I decided to
try it. Before I had taken the first
bottle I was better, and now I am en¬
tirely cured.

female trouble should -take Lydia E.

A 53 MILLION ACRE FARM.
And a Prosperous One Too Is Kansas
—Barns Full, Banks Fuller,
Crops Big
Kansas is a favm and It Is little
else The rooster is its fitting herald.
It is a farm of 33,000,000 acres that
up to I860 had less than 100,000 peo
pie, men, women and children, with
in its confines, and even as late as
1890 had barely turned the million
mark. tribula¬
It has come through more
tions than almost any State in the
Union. It has had floods and winds
and crop failures and insect plagues
and the racking fortunes and misfor¬
tunes of war, general and particular,
to combat.
There were years when the weak
kneed of its population turned from
it, hungry and heartbroken, haggard
and hollow eyed, cursing its treeless
prairies and cruel seasons; there
were other years In which Its bold¬
est and most earnest picked up their
belongings and trekked to populate
other and newer States—Oklahoma,
for example.
Even today its population, down
to the last negro roustabout or Chi¬
nese laundryman, numbers barely a
million and a half, But last year
its farm products alone, upon c on
servative calculation, were worth
$403, G4 8,007.58.
Its barns are full, Its banks are
fuller, and its great crops are even
now rumbling to market to bring >n
more money, Its total of recorded
mortgage indebtedness is only $47,-
609,807, and most of that, outside of
the big lump tin Kansas City, is for
the buying of “more land.”
