years from rheumatism and Kidney

Pie is consumed chiefly by the ma
tive Americans" said Clerk Fortune.
Of Chicago. 10 the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Foreigners eat very little OF IL A
German, for example. might eat three
pies q year. while a good Yankee
would consume as many in a week.
The English. the Italians and the
French are small pie eaters. The Eng
l!sh eat plum pudding and the Italians
Ike fruit New England and the Mid
cle states constitutes the area Of
greatest consumption. but the pie belt
extends far beyond that. as pie is ex-
tensiYeiy eaten all through the West
Pie is eaten much more generally In
the North than in the South. Chicago
ID a great pie center. St. Louis Is not
80 good. Milwaukee also ranks low.
One would not think that there arc
means for ascertaining the facts in re-
gard TO pie consumption. but I have
gathered statistics on the subject dur
ing the past two years which enables
me to compute with reasonable cor
rectness the consumption OF pies IN
every state In the Union. Pies are
made in greater varieties than for
merry. and the supplies are brought
from greater distances-in fact from
all parts OF the world The season os
pies made from green fruit have been
prolonged and pies are made OF
canned fruit the year round. The
time-honored mince pie has become a
Christmas dessert whose place is sure
and beyond dispute. There is 10 ex.
port trade in pies. because IN crossing
the ocean the crust would become
soggy. which. Of course. is the reverse
n the desired condition. IL Is a fact
which would surprise many persons.
however. that pies are often shipped
hundreds Of miles across this coun
