table, and as there are SO many two
dollar per day hotels IN the United
States with fruit ON the bill of fare,
which is dried prune sauce the year
around. the prune crop has, as | may
say. grown to be terrific item. Prune
pies also, when inclosing the seeds of the
prune. are becoming popular at many
boarding houses, especially at mountain
health resorts. This pie is also. when

Here is very desirable wife for a
prune farmer. With such a wife, $4S, 0OO
and a prune farm of 8 is acres under
cultivation, one certainly ought to pe
free from care. Love, I think-true
love. earnest, honest love-with prunes,
as, 900 aud salt rising bread three times
