conservative estimate. In view of the
fact that several million barrels
flowed into the Buena Vista river and
thence to the TuXpam river and out
to sea, going to waste in this manner,
an accurate estimate of the total out
put cannot be given. But that this
big estimate is not far wrong is shown
by the fact that approximately S,000,-
600 barrels of oil from this we'll have
been saved and are now in storage.
One earthen reservoir covers more
than As acres of ground and is more
than 80 feet deep in the central por-
ton. 1t now contains 100000 bar
rels of oil. Other smaller reservoirs
are full of the product and an army of
men are kept constantly at work con-
structing additional storage places for
the unremitting flow.
The market value of the crude oil
at the well is 81 Mexican money or so
cents gold per barrel The value of
the daily output is therefore more
than 100000 gold or nearly 100000
per month. Even at the present rate
of flow it is found impossible to save
all of the oil, and many thousands of
dollars worth of it goes to waste each
day

BEE STING FOR RHEUMATISM
Hoosier Farmland Sufferer Tries He
roic Treatment and Says
It's Great.

Owensville, Ind.-That bee stings
have healing and curative qualities is
vouched for by James Cross, a farm
hand who suffered with rheumatism
in the toes of one foot. He was told
that bees javelin would chase
away the rheumatic pains and he tried
it. He captured twenty-five bees, put
them in a tight paper box, cut an
inch slit in one end, through which he
poked his toes, and waited patiently
for something to happen
When the imprisoned and thorough
ly angered bees saw five human toes
in front of them something happened
very quickly. SINGERS dashed at the
toes in great haste. Cross made ugly
faces and writhed but stayed with the
game. At the end of two minutes the
bee battery had exhausted it's ammuni-
ton, but when Cross attempted to pull
his toes out of the box he found they
had swollen to three times their nat
ural size
The slit in the box was far too small
and he was forced to cut the box to
pieces before he could release himself.
did the remedy cure the rheuma-
tisn?' he was asked.
well, l can now do the Isadore Dun
can toe dance to a queens taste, as
oil signs of rheumatis pains in my toes
have disappeared" he replied.

Sunday Dinner Market

This seemed such capital idea for
making money that I give the outline,
hoping some Ladies Aid or guild
will be benefited thereby. The
scheme was carried out in a suburb
and the sales lasted every Saturday
during the month of August. Booths
were erected upon the lawn and the
committees were formed by taking
the names alphabetically Sal
ads, cold meats, rolls, bread, cakes,
cookies, jams and jellies, mayor
naise. candies and cheese crackers
were always made and orders taken
for anything in the home cooking line.
Young housekeepers found the sales
great help and strangers at nearby
boarding houses and hotels patronized
them for cup of tea and a sandwich
or dish of homemade sherbet There
were young girls to serve and the ar
rangements were so perfected that
the burden was not heavy upon any
one. goodly sum was added to the
treasury, all made by little extra
effort during the summer.
