HERE can not be any doubt about
the value Of the South American trade.
Ihe statistics are familiar, and every
intelligent reader understands that
where we should be reaping a rich
harvest we are really getting only the
gleanings. There are 100000 con
sumers on that continent, and they buy
from other countries at the rate Of
5000, 900, 900 q year, of which the
United States secures only about $50
000 900, or less than one-sixth part.
The lesson OF the figures is obvious.

TIE Government report places the
spring wheat condition low in the
scale. Winter wheat, however, is a
bigger crop than for many years, and
the aggregate yield Of that product
will undoubtedly closely approach, if
1t does not equal, the largest previous
record. Corn, too, promises to be
nearly as abundant as it was last year,
when the crop reached the highest
figures ever yet attained in any year,
while the oats crop is nearly if not
quite unprecedented in extent.

Philadelphia, Pa-Raising babies
of premature birth by the aid Of a
mechanical incubator is the latest
freak of medical science at the Wo-

FIRST time in this city this process was
put in practical test ten days ago,
when Florence Ryall. an S-months-
old child, was wrapped in swaddiing
cloths and placed in the incubator.
The baby is thriving under the pro-
cess, and apparently enjoying the
best of health. She weighed as the
time of her birth about 8 pounds, or
one-half the weight of an average
newborn child. The incubator has
raised the baby's weight up to five
pounds within ten days She rests in
the incubator constantly, except when
taken out to receive nourisl. ment OF

operation occurs three times q day

DEAR SIR-Viewed from "complexional'

of this firm ever having had occasion to use
them in that particular direction.
But as a reliable STOMACHIC, NERVE tonic
BRAIN nutrient and INVIGORANT we say
without the slightest hesitation, that we have
jointly derived great salutary and LASTING
benefit from their use.
When this city was almost network of open

cares emphatically that there is HoTHlNG to

We know whereof we WRITE" so please &C

The following original essay in the
form of poem was written by little
Pearl Anderson, eight years old. The
little ones of the family were playing
at home, and one of the group pro-
posed that they should each write a
story, and this was how she wrote
hers.
The happy, happy children,
The children aIe happy and free,
And full of frolc and glee;
They dance with delight
And sing all the night
While some others are coming to me.
II they go to play,
They never work bit of the day.
If they pick up rock,
They will throw at the stock
They go to school,
And read the rule;
If they make a noise,
The teacher will say,
Now bad children you may stay.
They call and call,
When they want to play ball.
II they all don't play right,
They are sure to fight.
If they find book TO read,
They will succeed;
But girls and boys
Are fond of noise,
And would rather run and play with toys,
Than hunt up books to read.
That is the way happy children do,
So / will know and so will you.
