THE WEALTH PRODUCING BlDDY.

The hen should be crowned queen of
the feathered tribe. See what statis-
tics say. In two months she lays more
value than the full annual production
of all the gold mines in the United
States and possessions. In three months
she produces more wealth than the
capital stock of all the banks in the
New York clearing house. Her eggs
for six months of the year are worth
more than the whole years production
of pig iron. In less than two years
she could pay off the national debt.
The annual report of the secretary of
agriculture shows that in 1905 the eggs
of the United States were worth more
than the cotton or the wheat: more
than all the potatoes, barley, tobacco,
sugar cane and rice put together They
practically tied with the dairy product,
and were surpassed only by the corn
crop of bumper" corn year. The
great human enterprises of VIII 81 proud
man boosts so much sink into .nsigni-
iicance besides the efforts of the modest
American hen.

The footprints of Dyspepsia have
been directly traced to the Stomach
nerves. When these INSIDE nerves
fail, Indigestion and stomach distress
must surely result. For this. druggists
everywhere are supplying a prescrip-
ton known as DR. Shoop's Restorative.
First, these tiny inside Stomach, Heart
and Kidney nerves fail Then gas
belching, Heart palpitation, or failing
Kidneys follow. Don't drug the Stom-
ach, or stimulate the Heart or Kidneys.
That is wrong. Strengthen these fail
ing nerves with DIR. Shops Restora-
tive. 1t is the nerves, not the organs
that are calling for help. Within as

1t may seem queer, but nevertheless
it s so true that it can scarcely be con-
tradicted, that the never worry,
"never-fuss' people succeed the best
and get much more out of life than
men less composed.
There are two reasons why newspap-
er men do not buy automobiles, says an
exchange. One is that nearly every
one has gasoline engine to run his
presses and that affords about all the
extra excitement his system demands
You can have one guess at the other
reason.
~ 1t is fun to see snarler and a
knocker get together 1t takes them
about ten minutes to decide that the
town is on the bum, the local officials
dishonest and the preacher stuck up.
In five minutes more they will decide
that they would move away if they had
the price. Sometimes it would pay the
town to advance the price.
