SOLITAIRE CURE
FOR INSOMNIA
Fl. DODGE MAN PLAYS FORTY
TWO GAMES OF "sEvEN PILE"
SOLITAIRE EVERY NIGHT

Fort Dodge, Jan. 12.-If Henry Brent
of this city had been playing solitaire
for money for the last eight years in
stead of as cure for insomnia, he
figures he would have Melted nearly
$6,200,00e from his mental labors.
Every night before going to bed he
has played an average of forty-two
games Of "seven pile solitaire. Brent
says he has never gambled for money
nor has he ever placed bet, even on
an election.
Brent carries around with him a
record of every game he has played in
the eight years. He has "beat the
game" eight times out of every
twenty-eight. If he paid $50 for deck
of cards for every game, he would
have paid out $6,048,00O for he has
played 10000 games.
Il find that forty-two games of soli-
taire an evening furnish me with just
enough mental labor to induce slight
fatigue" said Brent. 81 can, there
fore, go to sleep just as Soon as hit
the bed. But what could not l do
with these millions l might have
G. rned," he said.

Such Is the condition of our state the
loss of a few thousand of whose popu-
latiOn has attracted so much attention
throughout the United States. take no
stock in the suggestion that those peo-
pie who have gone from among us
represent our undesirable population.
If you will go to the states to the west
you will find that we have sent them
the best class of citizens to be found
within their borders and that
they are helping to bring those states
up to the high standard that we have
to here in peerless Iowa.

Whittier, CAL, Jan. 12.-Great prep
arations are now under way for the
annual Iowa picnic which will again be
held at Eastlake park, Los Angeles, on
Feb. %. BY general agreement this day
is reserved for that occasion and an
even larger crowd is expected than
last year-which was itself record
breaker, not only for the Iowa picnics
but for all state picnics ever held in
southern California. The attendance
at this annual gathering Is itself the
best answer as to why Iowa has de-

One of the real sources Of pride 10
every citizen of our commonwealth
who stands for higher and better
things in the affairs of the state is the
!! fact that<while our population is made
up of the representatives of almost
every alton of the globe, our census OF
1905 shows that 9Sla per cent of all of
the people over five years of age living
within the borders of our state can
read and write, and of those who have
passed school age only one per cent
but what can read and write. No where
in all of the states of the union is there
to be found more intelligent thrifty
and PROSPEROUS people. We are blessed
with a large number of small cities
but are not burdened with any over
grown places where the undesirable
element accumulates. With the appar-
emily equal advantages that obtain as
to the various parts of the state and
the we'll balanced population, we may
reasonably expect the interests of the
entire commonwealth to move along IN
about the same manner. Let the possi-
bilities and opportunities of our state
be fully realized and known and the
question of population will take care
of itself We have not the cheap lands
that other states have to offer. People
have been passing by us and going
where lands were much lower, but
when quality and opportunity are
taken into consideration there is no
