Growing Tobacco in Maine.

1t has apparently remained for Pope
Gibbs to demonstrate in his own gar
den, situated about a mile from the
Soldiers Home in Togus, that tobac-
co can be successfully grown in
Maine. Last year Mr.. Gibbs raised
about eighty pounds OF tobacco from
seventy nine plants. This year he
raised very nearly the same amount
from only thirty-five plants, the sea-
son being much more favorable for the
growth of the plant. Mr.. Gibbs had
no difficulty in disposing of the tobac-
co which he raised last year and
which was generally conceded to be
of excellent quality. He cured it in
his barn, which has a ventilator and
where by opening the doors he was
able to get the current of air neces-
sary for the best results, the condi-
lions being quite as favorable as in
the best tobacco-curing plants Of the
south. The opinion was very general
ly expressed last season that while
Mr. Gibbs was successful In raising
tobacco in this state, it would not be
possible to mature the seed here. This
year he has disproved this idea by
maturing a tobacco stalk more than
seven feet high with an exceptionally
we'll developed cluster of seeds.-Ken-
nebec Journal.

Great Mexican Tree.

At Tule, in the courtyard of the
church of Santa Maria, is the great
Tule tree. The tree is fourteen feet
in circumference six feet feet from the
ground. More than a hundred years

through Mexico, he cut out a section
of the bark and in it affixed a tablet
bearing an inscription dedicated to the
tree. The tablet can still be seen, al

After our long experience with
Grape-Nuts, l cannot say enough in
its favor. We have used this food al
most continually for seven years.
I'VE sometimes tried other adver-
tised breakfast foods, but we invaria-
bly, returned to Grape-Nuts as the
most palatable, economical and nour-
ishing Of all.

After using Grape-Nuts a short
time began to improve and all these
ailments have disappeared, and now l

have been almost raised on Grape
Nuts, which they eat three times a
day. ~
"They are pictures of health and
have never had the least symptom OF
stomach trouble. even through .the
most severe siege Of whooping cough
they could retain Grape-Nuts when
all else failed.
