years crop. Prices started out at $50
per ton. At last reports forty dollars
was all that was offered. The buyers
were accused of working in collision
to make for themselves all the profit.
While such reports are easily started
without cause, yet the drop in price
was so great, and so much below the
range of prices in neighboring territory
that the growers would seem to have
just ground for complaint.
They expected to have competing
buyers at points in that county right
away, and perhaps by now the condi-
ton is bettered
Kearney county's acreage is larger
than last year by perhaps Is per cent.
The quality is better, yield less than
last year. The brush was gotten up IN
fine shape and prices are given as rang
ing from s55 to $50 per ton.

A Voice From
The Stomach
A BIoodiess Fight Between a Tablet
and f1abit--The Tablet Wins.

At the age of %, Clarence had good
digestion. He had gastric juice tha
could dissolve doughnuts and turn ap.
pie skins into good blood corpuscles.
At the age of "a he began to be pro-
fuse about the waist and lean back
wards. He also began to cultivate sew
eral chins. In his new-found pride he
began to think it his duty to gorge him
self on everything, the good and tho
! bad, for APPETITE feeds on appetite-and
every good thing is abused
His pictures showed that he took on
weight after he put his collar on.
AT the age of 26 Clarence married and
went to boarding. On top of all this.

collar from 1914 to Is. With still abid-
ing faith in the strength of his sotmach
he gulped his meals, and chewed them
afterwards.
At the age of % Clarence began to
hear an inward voice-a warning from
the stomach. After each meal, he would
feel bloated-and belching became u
habit
He began to be a light eater-and a
heavy thinker. He tried to think out a
cure, for now he would sit down at his
meals absolutely Disguised at the
thought or sight of anything to eat.
He would sit down at his meals with
out the trace of an appetite, just be-
cause it was time to eat.
He would often feel gnawing, I'M
satisfied "still-hungry" feeling in his
stomach, even after he was through
eating. whether his meal was well cook
ed or not
things with his stomach that he could
not explain, but that made him
grouchy, miserable, out-o'-sorts and
geenrally sour on everybody and every
thing.
Finally he read an account, some
thing like this, about the truly wonder
full results obtained from Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets in all cases OF stomach
dyspepsia, and so on. He
bought a SOC box at the drug store. and
he had bttle falkland less APPETITE.
When he finished he had absolute faith
and more appetite, and more good
cheer. Things began to taste different
and better to him.
Now he has no more dyspepsia no
more indigestion, no more loss of appe-
tite, brash, irritation, burning sensa-
ton, heartburn, nausea, quotations,
bad memory, or loss of vim and vigor
Remember one ingredient of Stuart's

HOUSEHOLD LION.
"What shall ,re haze for dinner to-dayf'
The path of the housewife is often beset
With obstacles many and great;
The manifold trials which fall to her lot
Pertaining to household estate;
However courageous her nature may be.
One Lion there is, whom she trembles to see
Lion who daily confronts her to say;
Pray, what shall we have for our dinner
to-day9'
She girds up her soul for the house-cleaning
time,
The eud of that toll she can see;
Makes war upon insects with spirit all brave,
And knows she shall conqueror be;
Full well to the ways of her houselshe may
look,
Press on through the cares that her footsteps
would brook:
One Lion she meets makes her faint by the
way,
The Lion who asks: What for dinner to-
days"
IT'S not that the animal roars very loud
Above other beasts that she meets,
Nor is it the size of His Majesty's mouth
The quantity daily he eats
But this tiresome species doth daily demand
NcW IOou III variety ifcsH IFCIn HSF MANU.
No wonder the keeper with worry grows gray
In trying to answer: what dinner to- days''
The Lion refuses, with lordly disdain,
To taste any warmed over mess;
The high-sounding dishes all tempt him in
vain
He knows their original dress.
away with your scraps and your remn ants, J"
he cries,
The housewife before him stands guilty-and
flies.
'Tis not at all easy. this holding at bay
Lion demanding new dinners each day.
Some day she'll grow reckless and give.up the
fight
What then win the consequence bes
Approaching him boldly the lady will say,
"There is nothing new-pray eat3me!
One bone please reserve-in the ground let it
lie;
Inscribe on my tomb: Here's a martyr'-tell
why
Write: "Here lies a woman who's fallen a
prey
To Lion in search of new dinners each
day."

Think of the "brainwork" expended by
the housekeeper on the query "what shall
we eat?" The '1substantials" come first,
and over and over again the game of fish,
flesh or fowl" is played in the silent re-
cesses of the mind which serves.to solve
the problem; more than thousand times
year some result must be obtained.
Is it any wonder a mistake is sometimes
made in the answer. The mistake may be
an indigestible compound, a tough steak
or an over-salt soup, but whatever it may
be, don't let it unnerve you, even if it
should bring a frown to Johns brow or
criticism from some other member of the
household. If you pride yourself on being
a specially good cook, remember pride
must have fall and the family can endure
one disaster in the kitchen department
If you don't care particularly if you do
make failure in cooking, you probably
did not try very hard to make a success OF
it, and John ought to have the privilege
of frowning. The proverbial accident
that will happen in the best regulated fam
ilies", you can always afford to make light
OF.
However, at the ouse-cleaning season,
it is quite often the part Of wisdom to
make Johns favorite pie or pudding. and
keep him as comfortable as possible both
in mind and body. II you are one of
those housekeepers, who, at the time Of
spring cleaning, ind yourself better salts
fed with the result Of your labors, if the
principal articles OF furniture in your iv-
ing room or sleeping room are all changed
to new locations, you must expect to have
some fault found with cleaning
time.
John comes in III the late twilight and
finds 4 table in the south corner where
his easy chair has been stationed for q
year; upon that discovery he decides to
flee to the old lounge in the north corner,
but finds there instead two straight back
chairs placed at proper angles; concludes
he will slip up stairs to bed quietly and
without light. Alas! the bed is not in
its old place in the west corner, and after
search in which he comes in collision
with commode and strikes the "crazy
bone" of his elbow against the chiffon
nier, he stumbles against the bedstead
which has been placed corner-wise in the
northeast corner of the room. A smoth-
cred ejaculation which is not all in praise
of house cleaning, and he lies down not
''to pleasant Dreams" for sleep deserts his
pillow while he tries to argue himself into
the belief that he is not away from home.

Another Maine Central Wreck.
The St. John express east from Bangor
Thursday afternoon was thrown from the
track by defective rail near VIM. The
locomotive and five Of the seven cars were
derailed.
The train was running at the rate of
about thirty-five miles an hour and the
engineer had no warning that the track
was damaged. Suddenly the engine
swerved from the rails and after blowing
along the roadbed for some distance, went
over a low embsnkment and turned over
into the ditch. The postal and baggage
cars followed the engine and were piled up
close beside the track. Three cars in the
middle Of the train also left the rails, but
were not SO badly damaged as the two
forward ones. The two rear cars, in which
most OF the passengers were, were not de-
rallied. The wreckage of the mail car
caught fire from the locomotive and was
destroyed.
No one was killed. The injured were
