Living must be very cheap where
wages are SO low. The poor people
of Barbados subsist principally on
sugar cane, sweet potatoes and flying
fish. The average pickaninny can
get along very well on sugar cane,
while flying fish at 6 cents a dozen
makes good diet for the grown-ups.
Catching flying fish is an interesting
industry, which gives employment to
many men and boys. The sailboats
go out to sea for distance of ten or
twelve miles. The nets are attached
to round hoops, and the fish are
scooped up in great numbers.
The sugar industry of Barbados is
far behind the times. In Bridgetown
there is an old Dutch windmill which
has been furnishing the power for
grinding cane since the year 1929. Me-
groes still pull the hogsheads of mo-
lasses through the streets of the cap
ital as they did in the days of slavery.
One planter excused the retention Of
these two old practices by saying that
men were cheaper than horses, and
that the windmill was serviceable be-
cause there was always sufficient wind
to keep it in motion.
The trade Of Barbados is gradually
falling into the hands of the Ameri-
cans. Last year the merchants of the
island bought about as much goods
from the United States as they did
from England. This year they will
probably buy more. 1t is good mar
ket for our food stuffs. hardware, ma
chinery, dry goods and shoes. The
people Of the island have been more
loyal to England in purchasing goods
than the other British possessions in
the West Indies, because it has been
the distributing station of the Royal
Mail Steamship company.
In most of the islands of the West
Indies the negroes are shiftless and
lazy, but it is claimed that the inhab-
itants of Barbados are industrious
and will do anything they can get to
do. Times are so bad that many of
them would leave If they could get
away, but few have enough money to
make start. Every little while del
egation comes around to see the
American consul to inquire about the
rules for the admission of immigrants
to the United States. They nearly all
have an exaggerated idea of what they
could do in America. The American
tourist mas been so lavish with his
money that when one comes along
the natives trail after him like they
expected gold to run out OF every
pocket in his clothes.

Incredible Speed in Writing.

The late Colonel Prentiss Ingraham,
according to Mrs. Ella w. Peattie,
wrote in his literary career of thirty
four years 600 novels, averaging 10000
words each, and 400 novelets, averag-
ing 10000 words each. This means a
yearly output of 1.352,941 words, daily
3,7O7, or 154.5 hourly. Also he wrote
several plays, besides much verse and
other things for newspapers and mag
azines. This on top of an active and
adventurous life as soldier of the Con-
federacy and then soldier Of fortune In
various parts of the world. And yet
his income was but about $4,000 a
year.

SAFEST FOOD
n Any Time Of Trouble Is Grape.Nuts.

In Any Time of Trouble Is Grape.Nuts.
Food to rebuild the strength and
that is pre-digested must be selected
when one is convalescent. At this
time there is nothing so valuable as
Grape-Nuts, for the reason that this
food is all nourishment and Is also all
digestible nourishment. A woman who
used it says:
Some time ago l was very Ill with
typhoid fever, so i'll everyone thought
would die, even myself. 1t left me
so weak l could not properly digest
food of any kind and also had much
bowel trouble which left me weak,
helpless wreck
II needed nourishment as badly as
anyone could, but none of the tonics
helped me until | finally tried Grape
Nuts food morning and evening. This
not only supplied food that l thought
delicious as could be, but it also made
me perfectly we'll and strong again
so l can do all my housework, sleep
we'll, can eat anything without any
trace Of bowel trouble and for that
reason alone Grape-Nuts food is worth
its weight in gold" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Typhoid fever, like some other dis
eases. attcks the bowels and frequent
ly sets up bleeding and makes them
for months incapable Of digesting the
starches and therefore pre-digeSted
Grape-N Nuts Is invaluable for the we'll
known reason that in Grape-Nuts all
the starches have been transformed
into grape sugar. This means that the
first stage of digestion has been me-
chanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts
food at the factories and therefore
anyone no matter how weak the stom-
ach, can handle it and grow strong, for
all the nourishment is still there.
There's sound reason and 10 days

Every housekeeper should know
that If they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same, 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. II your grocer tries to sell you a
1907. package it is because he has
stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose Of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
ters and figures "16 ozs." Demand
Defiance and save much time and
money and the annoyance Of the iron
sticking. Defiance never sticks.

Erred TO HER GREAT JOY.
Mr.. De Long Finds That the inde-
scribable Pains Of rheumatism Can
Be Cured Through the Blood.

Mrs. E. M. De Long, Of No. 160
West Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
found herself suddenly attacked by
rheumatism in the winter OF 1896.
She gave the doctor chance to help
her, which he failed to improve. and
then she did some thinking and ex-
perimenting Of her own. She was so
successful that she deems 1t her duty
to tell the story Of her escape from
suffering:
my brother-in-law," she says, was
enthusiastic on the subject OF DR..
Williams Pink Pills as purifier of
the blood, and when l was suffering
extreme pains in the joints of my an
kles, knees, hips, wrists and elbows.
and the doctor was giving me no re-
lief, | began to reflect that rheuma-
tism Is q disease Of the blood, and
that If DIR. Williams Pink Pills are
50 good for the blood they must be
good for rheumatism and worth a
trial.
81 was in bed half the time, suffer-
ing with pain that cannot be described
to one who has never had the disease.
It would concentrate sometimes in one
set of joints. When it was in my feet
l could not walk; when 1t was In my
elbows and wrists l could not even
draw the coverlets over my body.
had suffered in this way for weeks
before I began using DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. Two weeks after | began
with them | experienced relief and
after | had taken six boxes l was en-
tirely well. To make sure continued
to use them about two weeks longer
and then stopped altogether. For sew
eral years l have had no reason to
use them for myself. but have rec
commended them to others as an ex-
cellent remedy"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills furnish the
blood with all the elements that are
needed to build up healthy tissue,
strong muscles. and nerves, capable OF
bearing the strain that nature puts
upon them. They really make new
blood and cure all diseases arising
from disorders of the blood or nerves.

On Life's Rough Way

Life is simply what we make 1t as we
hasten needless OH
To the future that awaits us just beyond
the gilded dawn
We can plant our path with roses. aye,
or water it with tears,
We can shadow it with sorrow that will
stay throughout the years:
We can make our neighbors happy with
a laugh or with song.
We can scatter sunshine always as
through life we pass along;
Life Is simply what we make it; let us
make 1t bright and gay.
For the bird that carols sweetly gladdens
all the summer day.
AS a little smile costs nothing, with your
smiles be ever free
And oft 81 laugh will calm the storm that
sweeps the human sea;
The heart attuned to melody will never
know despair
The touch of friendly hands will make a
clouded sky more fair:
For what's the use in broodng DER a
sorrow or a woe?
For sorrows, like the birds. take wings
and quickly from us go:
Then let our banks have snowy sails and
pennons gayly bright,
THAT those who see them on the wave
may greet them with delight.

Why live and think the busy world is

And drain the vintage of unrest down to

The smiles of childhood haunt us as the
years go drifting by,
A babys laugh will often clear a storm

Then laugh till those around you catch
the merriment you own.
And you have firmly seated Queen En-
joyment M her throne;
For the world IL no. for sorrow. or the
skies wou'd not he blue.
And you can give N iifes landscape the
colors that are true.

He in whose heart Il laugh is born cam

So make life bright and merry, sunshine

And never came a smile aIniss unto

And we can set the world aglee with
Laughter and with song.
