M l write of the Big Red Apple
It is creating almost as qlucn
trouble for us as did that into when
Mother Eve, at the advice OF the snake,
sank her pearlv teeth when she lost us
the Garden of Eden. It is more precious
than the three golden apples which grew
in the garden of Hesperides, and for
which Hercules upheld the globe on his
shoulders when he sent old Atlas to get
them. That was the second time that
the apple upset the world. A third was
when Juno, Venus and Minerva con-
tended as to their beauty for the golden
apple offered by Paris, the CRATER, who,
being bribed by Venus with Helen or
Troy, thus brought about the long 10
year war which laid that city in ashes.
Big Money in Apples.
Even the Bible speaks of apples Of gold
In pitchers of silver. Well, that is what
we are having in some parts of our
country. The apple crop Is revolution
ling whole districts. 1t has lifted the
prices of lands to the clouds and has
made it possible for the clOdhopper to
walk upon velvet.
WHIT would you think of country
where nearly every farmer owns his
automolale. where his house Is lighted by
electricity and he has water on tap;
where scores OF families 90 every year
to southern California TO get away from
the cold, and where you cannot throw
stone without striking a man who has
money in the bank? That, / am told at
the department Of agriculture, is the
condition of half dozen different dis
tTicts In the Pacific northwest.
Take the Hood river valley, in Oregon.

about the same sizel Orchard land there
is worth from $500 to $1,000 an acre,
and orchards already set out viii bring
$4,000 and upward per acre. Said one
of the department officials TO me:
II was recently talking with an or
chardist who had ten acres of bearing
trees in one OF the best districts of
Washington. | asked him what his land
was worth He replied:
Tt ought to bring me in at least
$4,000
"'Well, said I, after thinking mo-
ment. I don't know that that is too
much. You have ten acres, and that
would be Just $1,000 per acre

the man. It viii bring a good income

and showed me that he was making

Not Salts, Oil or
Pills But 'CaScaretS'
No odds how sick Your stomach: how
hard your head aches or how Bill
fOus-Cascarets make you feel
great

Cascarets act as a bowel tonic. not
as an irritant- They are vegetable.
Their action Is natural Their effect
is the same as the effect of some
foods. They are gentle; no gripping;
They are pleasant; no dreading. They
are convenient; no waiting.
One ola way was castor oil The
effect was to grease the bowels. and
for a single day. Oil never causes
the bowel muscles to act. Other ways
were pills. salts and catharticS- The
effect was the same as pepper In the
nostrils. They flooded the bowels with
fluid Those fluids were digestive
juices. And the waste today means
lack tomorrow
We know than the method was
wrong. That the after-effects only
weakened the bowels. But we had no
gentle laxative in the old days. So we
waited as long as we could. then took
a big dose OF physic. The method
today Is TO take one Cascaret at
time-just as soon as you need It,
Then the bowels are always clean
They cost only 10 cents per box at
any drug stOr~

fully from this life unto death on the
18th Of July, 1911. age five months and
thirteen days.
A precious one from you has gone,
A voice you loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in your home,
Which never can be filled.
He heard the call, he could not stay,
But filled his seat without delay,
Should others loilter, he'll be there,
Nor miss the hour of evening prayer
Dry your tear, father:
Weep not for your darling boy,
Try to meet him, mother,
In that home of endless Joy.
Dear little Albert has gone to rest
In land beyond the sky,
He is resting on his Savior's breast
Where he will never hear a sigh.
Parents dear weep not Tor him
He has only gone to sleep;
Here on earth he had to suffer,
But now he rests so sweet.
We all miss his loving face,
And all his smiles so sweet;
But he has gone to that happy place,
His blessed Lord to meet.
