For Your Health.

Conquer your moods; don't let your
moods conquer you. People who give
way to moods never amount to much
because they are never masters OF
themselves. They never know in the
morning whether they are going to do
a good days work or not, whether
they are going to be a cheering or a
depressing influence on the people
around them II they feel like being
good-tempered, they will be; II they
feel like Swapping" at everybody,
they will snap.
People who suffer from moods"
should be careful about their habits
They should be regular about meals.
sleep. exercise and work. The condi-
tion OF the health has much to do with
moods, and there is nothing that con
tributes so much to health as ALSO
Lutte regularity.

WISE FARMING PAYS
Crops of the Past Year Were
Wonderfully Abundant.
SECRETARY WILSON TALKS
Laying Hens Are Nearly as Valua-
BILE as Wheat Fields.
RETAILER MAKES MEAT HIGH
Recent Panic Brought About by Use
of Farmers Money in
Speculation.
RETAILER MAKES MEAT HIGI
BY WILLIAM f. CURTIS.

By WILLIAM f. CURTIS.
Written for The Star and the Chicago Record
Herald.
I asked Secretary Wilson what his
friends the farmers have added to the
wealth of the country this year.
I'VE are at work just now getting at
the figures, and the total is probably far
beyond that of last year, which was ST.
44O, 100000. And that is real money,
answered the Secretary. "It is not nc
titious, but an actual value. 1t has all
come out of the ground and is compensa-
ton for the labor of the year. 1t Is
wealth that did not exist before. 1t is
all clear gain and consists in tangible
property-corn, hay, wheat cotton and
other things that are needed by every
body and are counted among the neces-
sarieS of life-nearly seven and a haif
billions of dollars-probably the largest
sum that was ever added to the wealth of
the world by any nation in a single year.
Hens as Valuable as Wheat Fields.
What is the biggest crop this year,?
1.-The greatest crop of America is grass,
and then corn. Next after corn is proba-
bly, cotton. Then come wheat and poul-
try, running neck and neck. The product
of the hencoop is now nearly as Valuaoie
as that of the wheat field
''Then why are eggs 40 cents dozen!
''In the first place, the American people
eat great many eggs, and, in the sec
ond place, there are not enough people
keeping chickens and producing eggs. The
price is due to the law of supply and de-
mand. If twice as many eggs were pro-
duced in the United States they would be
cheaper in the market"
What is the corn crop this year,?
The preliminary estimate of the crop
reporting board of the department Is
2642 687 600 bushels of corn, as compared
with 1852 800 600 bushels the final eS-
innate for 1907. The average yield per
acre is 26.2 bushels, which compares with
25.9 the final estimate for 1907, and 2o6
the average for the past ten years. The
quality as we'll as the quantity is better
than ever, and is S69 compared with 81 3
in 1907, and S4.3 the average Of the past
ten years.
IAN the principal crops of the country
for this year are better than they ever
were, and the estimate of the crop re-
porting board of the Department shows
that the volume is 3 per cent greater
than in 1907 and "a per cent greater than
the average of the preceding five years,
while values are higher in almost every
case. The average for the last five years
in volume is exceeded in every thing eX-
cept oats, fiaxseed. potatoes and tobacco;
and the quality of every crop is better,
except that of tobacco. Here are some
of the figures:

Easy on the woman and easy on the
clothes.
That's why progressive women are
washing their clothes with Fels-Naptha
In cool or lukewarm water, in summer or
winter.
It's easy on the woman because it
does away with fires for heating water,
makes hard rubbing unnecessary and
takes less than half the time of the old
way of washing.
It's easy on the clothes because there
is no boiling to make the clothes tender,
and no hard rubbing to wear them into
holes before their time.
Save yourself; save your clothes-use :
Fels-Naptha.
Costs little money for big cake, and
lasts longer than ordinary soaps.
In using it follow directions printed
on the red and green wrapper.
