Real Estate Expert Says Arkansas
 Land Is Cheap.

 Little Rock,-That there is no other place in the United States where pro- duetiEe land can be bought as eheaply Is in Arkansas is the opinion Of J. G. Twining, a real estate expert of Waterbury, Conn, who is inyestigat- ing land values
 Mr. Twining was at Fordyee to consider the development Of a tract of ,600 acres owned by q party of Little Rock men. He stated that, with it's excellent geographical location, substantial buildings and farm lands suitable for growing strawberries, rice and fruits, Fordyce only needs little encouragement to put it on the way to a great period of growth.
 Little Rock real estate. Mir. Twin ing asserts, has more than quadrupled in value since he visited here two years ago. He further asserted that, after travelling 50.000 miles in the United States, he has found no sec tion in which land is as productive and can be bought as cneaply as in Arkansas. He stated that business Is better and the peopie more pros porous in Arkansas than in any state he has visited since leaving Gonuec- Ueat, in November.

SURPRISED DOCTOR. Illustrating the Effect of Food.

The remarkable adaptability of Grape-Nuts food to stomachs so dis ordered that they will reject every thing else, is illustrated by the case of a woman in Racine, Wis.
 Two years ago." she says, "I was attacked by stomach trouble so se- rious that for a long time I could not take much of any sort of food. Even the various kinds prescribed by the doctor produced most acute pain.
 We then got some Grape-Nuts food. and you can imagine my surprise and delight when I found that l could eat it with a relish and without the slight est distress.
 When the doctor heard of it he told me to take several small portions each day, because he feared l would grow tired of it as l had of all other food.
 But to his surprise. (and that of everybody else) did not tire of Grape-Nuts, and became better day by day, till. after some weeks, my stom- ach entirely recovered and l as able to eat anything my appetite aved.
 My nerves, which had become so weakened that I feared l would be- come insane, were also restored by the Grape-Nuts food In connection with Postum which has become our table beverage l appreciate most gratefully and thankfully the good that your food preparations have done me, and shall be glad to answer any letters inquiring as to my experience" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek.
