WANTED TO SLEEP
Curious That a Tired Preacher Should

Curious That Tired Preacher Should
Have Such Desire.
A minister speaks of the curious eff
feet of Grape Nuts food on him and
how it has relieved him.
"You will doubtless understand how
the suffering with indigestion with
which I used to be troubled made my
work an almost uncomfortable burden.
and why it was that after my Sabbath
duties had been performed, sleep was
a stranger to my pillow till nearly day
light.

I ate, and even with all my care | ex'
perienced poignant physical distress
after meals, and my food never salts
fed me.
"Six months have elapsed since
began to use Grape-Nuts food, and the
benefits l have derived from it are
very definite. no longer suffer from
indigestion, and | began to improve
from the time Grape-Nuts appeared on
our table. | find that by eating dish
of it after my Sabbath work is done
(and | always do so now my nerves
are quoted and rest and refreshing
sleep are ensured me. l feel that
could not possibly do without Grape
Nuts food, now that know its value.

that we need it to complete the meal

that every wise man kept his bark OF
life clear of the rocks and shoals OF
matrimony DOdden had a good many
friends and acquaintance among the
fools of earth, that is. the married
men, but in his presence they were
all made to feel the infinite superiority
of his wisdom. Dodden knew every
skeleton in the closets of these vari-

hollow rafting of their spectral mem

a pleasant part of his after-dinner pipe

But there came at last to him a

Good Thinq to Know,

A writer, discussing the lost art of
early rising, says: "The proper time
to rise is when sleep ends" That's a
good thing to learn. Do you know, if
we hadn't seen that in paper, we
should have gone on believing that the
proper time to rise was when you were
right in the midst of your soundest
sleep. What a blessed thing it is for
this blind old world that there are
some men in it who know nearly ev-
erything!

MARKETING POTATO CROPS.

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President Tuttle of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show
how railroad works for the interest
of the localities which it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
of the Aroostook region is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels, which find mar.
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thicl1ly settled regions of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put Of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields
At normal rates and prices there
would have been a glut of the custom
airy markets and the potatoes would
have rotted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every readable
market, even in carrying them in large
quantities to place SO remote as BOs-
ton. The Aroostook growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Main Railroad
reduced it's already low rate, which it
did. BY means of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the potato
crops of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered
decrease in it's revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the AroOstook farmers
to market their crops and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. If the making Of
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment, such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is we'll established that if
a rate be once reduced by railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental prOce-
dure If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
tations they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot.-ErchGnge.
