Value of After-Dinner Nap.

Complete relaxation after eating-a suspension of mental and physical ac- tivity-will favor the processes of nat ural digestion, not only because of its tranquilizing effect upon the nerves but because the stomach may use the surplus unsued energies of the body in the processes of digestion. Happy the man or woman who can take an "after-dinner nap" It means health, happiness and long life.

OVERLOOKED OPPORTUNITIES.
Chances in Average Small Town for
ProfitabIy Engaging in Business.

According to the United States cen.
sus of 1900 there was produced in the
United States 1898, ,662, ,433 dozen eggs.
The same statistics give the annual
production of poultry at 250.623. .114.
The butter made on farms each year
is in excess of 1000, 100000 pounds
The cheese made on farms averages
about 20,000,00O pounds annually.
These statistics are interesting, and
with each farmer growing poultry and
eggs and making butter and cheese, 1t
hardly seems possible that such com.
binations as dairy trusts and egg and
poultry trusts could exist, but that
they do is nevertheless a fact.
Every small town in a farming dis.
trict can command sufficient butter,
egg and poultry trade to support a
prosperous exclusive produce estab.
lishment. The practice has generally
obtained in agricultural districts of
storekeepers in various lines taking
farmers produce in exchange for
goods. The produce thus received by
merchants is forwarded to the com.
mission houses in the large city, and
these houses are factors that make II
possible to maintain trusts in the pro
duce business. 1t appears that IL each
town had its exclusive produce estab-
lishment to buy what the farmer has
to sell instead of the produce going
through the local stores, that better
prices could be paid the farmers and
the business made a most profitable
one If rightly conducted
According to the natural laws of
business industry succeeds best where
advantages are most abundant. Thus
it seems that the produce offers a
most excellent field in the majority Of
agricultural towns.

SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
Two Vital Things for tho Welfare Of
the Masses.

There IL wisdom in the old slogan,
"A school on every hill top and .
church In every valley" Citizens of
the United States may well feel proud
of the great educational system which
makes it possible for all classes to ac-
quire the proper mental cultivation.
They may also feel proud Of the re-
ligfous liberty that each and every
citizen enjoys. There Is no estab-
lished church to interfere with the
free exercise Of conscience, neither Is
there any law that interferes with the
exercise Of religious belief.
The United States can be looked
upon as nation where schools and
churches flourish to the fullest. The
public school system Is one Of the
most perfect that civilization has yet
evolved. OF course there are COM
munities where local conditions are
not SO favorable for schools as other
places. 1t will be observed that the
more important is the city or the
town, the more advanced are the edu-
cational facilities offered the people.
The residents of rural communities
have their state or district school, the
currfcufums Of which are restricted
1t is to the nearby town that the chill
dren who are residents of the farm
districts must look for their higher
education, which is necessary prep
aration for entry into college, and for
business life. How important 1t is,
then, to the resident of the farm dis
trict that his home town be an active
place and Of sufficient business i'm
portance to justify the maintenance of
a high class school! 1t can be seen
'how each resident of a farming com.
munity should be interested in the
home town and all that pertains to its
upbuilding. If on no other account,
purely on account Of the educational
facilities.
Running parallel in Importance with
the schools are the churches. The
better the home town the better are
the church buildings, and the greater
is the talent that fills the pulpit Both
schools and churches have education
al qualities that should not be lightly
valued. They mean the highest men
tai and moral development, and upon
this development depends the good
citizenship and the advancement and
perpetuation of the nation.
