OVER THE FENCE Neighbor Says Something.

The front yard fence is famous council place on pleasant days. Maybe to chat with some one along the street, or for friendly gossip with next door neighbor. Sometimes it is only small talk but other times neighbor has something really good to offer.
 An old resident of Baird, Texas, got some mighty good advice this way once.
 He says:
 Drinking coffee left me nearly dead with dyspepsia, kidney disease and bowel trouble, with constant pains in my stomach, back and side, and so weak 1 could scarcely walk.
 "One day was chatting with one of my neighbors about my trouble and told her l believed coffee hurt me. Neighbor said she knew lots of people to whom coffee was poison and she pleaded with me to quit it and give Postum a trial 1 did not take her advice right away but tried a change of climate, which did not do me any good Then 1 dropped coffee and took up Postum.
 My improvement began immediate ly and l got better every day l used Postum.
 My bowels became regular in two weeks, all my pains were gone Now am well and strong and can eat any thing I want to without distress. All of this is due to my having quit cof- fee, and to the use of Postum regu' larly.
 My son who was troubled with indi. gestion thought that if Postum helped me so, it might help him. It did, too, and he is now well and strong again
 We like Postum as well as VIC ever liked the coffee and use it altogether in my family in place of coffee and all keep we'll" "There's Reason" Read "The Road to Melville" in Pkgs. Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, trne, and full of humas | interest.

The Growing of Rice a Thriving Ar
 kansas Industry.

The prairie lands of Arkansas between this city and the Ten nessee border are becoming thick ly dotted with productive rice farms. The growing of rice is only in it's infancy in this state as the first sue cessful crop was grown about six
 years ago near Carlisle. The open prairie lands known as Grand Prairie Lougue constitute the heart of the rice cultivating district. Since the first few acres planted a few years ago the industry has grown until now thousands of acres are devoted to rice culture in Lonoke, Prairie, Ar kansas, Poinsett and other counties. The great prairie country, which, while it has always been one of the most attractive sections of Arkansas, was of little productive value until five years ago, has been converted
