FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY
Where the Winters Are Cold and the
Shows Deep.

Writing from the vicinity David
Harum made famous, a man says that
he was an habitual coffee drinker and,
although he knew it was doing him
harm, was too obstinate to give 1t up,
till all at once he went to pieces with
nervousness and insomnia, loss of APP
petite, weakness, and a generally
used-up feeling, which practically un-
fitted him for his arduous occupation,
and kept him on a couch at home
when his duty did not call him out.
while in this condition Grape
Nuts food was suggested to me, and l
began to use it. Although it was in
the middle of winter, and the ther-
mometer was often below zero, almost
my entire living for about six weeks
of severe exposure was on Grape-Nuts
food with little bread and butter and
a cup of hot water, till l was wise

with the benefit to my general health

The west can outdo the east, when
It sets about it. That Oriental ball in
San Francisco threw the famous Hyde
ball in New York into the shade, says
the Milwaukee Wisconsin. The guests
at the New York affair merely went
to European history for their cos

houses and the state prison, the re-
port, referring only to the latter, says
that but five per cent. Of the men
in state prison have families they
have left in need Of state aid"
This is because the prisoners as a
whole are men Of rowing characters,
who have no settled home and who,
accordingly, have no one dependent
upon them.
I'm this connection" the report con.
tinues, "a law enacted in 1909 is Of
special interest It provides for state
aid for dependent families of men in
the state prison. Families are now be-
ing paid as high as SIS month under
this humane 1909 law"
Commenting on the recently estab-
lished prison for the criminal insane
at St Peter, the report says there are
ten prisoners at Saltwater SO ad.
vanced in insanity they are unable to
do work, while there are thirty others
who are able to work part Of the time.
Then 1t adds:
1T is doubtless true that there are a
sufficient number Of criminal insanG
at Saltwater and other state institu-
tions to fill completely another such
building as now houses this class OF
unfortunates at st. Peter"
Conditions, from a sanitary and
cleanly standpoint, are excellent at
the institution. the report says, add,
ing:
In spite of the fact that the build
ings and general plant are old and out
of date, the best is made of every dis
fact that has given War

tation of being unexcelled."

PICKS MONEY FROM A TREE

Cottonwood Falls, KAMA farmer
boy Of Matfield, near here, knows how

his home yield him a golden harvest
in one week.
The trees have long been a favorite

The county pays bounty of five cents
on every crow killed. George Golden
had an idea come to him and he
walked out Of the county clerks office

644 crows heads.
Golden had shot some Of the birds
and when that became too slow he
put strychnine in the carcasses of rab.

HAVING A PURPOSE.

We can well imagine times vhen the
necessity for applying ourselves is
very real and very stern; when we
can derive but little comfort from our
position. and when we are likely to
pose as martyrs rather than as sol
diors ready for the fray But all that
comes before the light OF reason and
understanding breaks through the
darkness and makes things palmer
than they have ever been. It is good
TO have an individual purpose in life;
what that purpose is lies within our
own breasts We are not all nodded
upon the same pattern. says the
Charleston News and Courier In
deed, It Is said that there are no two
natures alike and that God in his
goodness decreed that such should be
the case However. that may be, we
are all IN fact his children and are
placed in this world for the one great,
controlling reason of working out our
own salvation. How we are to do this
rests with each one Of us personally
and just 10 the extent of our realiza-
tion and understanding of that sacred
trust viii we make our efforts tell.
To be prepared at all times as far
as 1t lies within our power is not the
least important of the means at our
command, while to leave the future TO
take care Of itself and to trust to the
spur Of necessity for obtaining our
most vital results, however helpful
such results may be on occasion, is
only tempting Providence unneces.
