WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES
Generous Act Of Street Wait That
Gained Him a Friend in Great
Novelist.

Charles Dickens, the creator OF
many delightful child characters.
earned a million dollars during his
lifetime with his pen, but often walk
ed the streets OF London in search of
material for his books without PEN
ny in his pocket. er -,.v,ee :.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by small boy who
asked him for penny. Dickens
searched his pockets, but they were
empty, and so he told the boy, who
was shivering in the cold
Poor mani" exclaimed the little
fellow. well go hunks together!"
Dickens stood back in the shadow
of the street to see what the outcome
would be. The lad continued to beg,
and finally gained two pennies. He
came dancing to Dickens with jolly
ring in his voice.
"Now," he said, "we'll have two hot
buns apiece" :
Such a generous spirit under such
trying circumstances struck Dickens
so forcibly that he took the lad home
with him, and there he was fed and
clothed, and started on the road to a
better life.

the northern counties, notably in
Barron, Marathon, Langlade and 9TH
er counties. The Door Peninsula has
long been famous for the growing of
peas, both dry and for canning. There
is belt of country south of Lake SUI
perior possessing heavy red clay soil
which is particularly we'll adapted to
the growing Of this crop. Experiment
tai work has been carried on along
this line at the Ashland and Superior
sub-stations for the last four seasons
and the results have been very salts
factory. Last season while the pea
crop was a failure in most sections,
good crops were harvested at both of
the stations. The yields were high.
The peas of the canning variety at
Ashland yielded an average of over
81 bushels per acre, while the So
called soup varieties averaged over
30 bushels. Scotch peas averaged 35
bushels per acre. With prices rang
ing from two to three dollars per bush
ell and even more, it is easy to see
that the pea crop is destined to be OF
great Vdlu0 lOT L4lS I6SlOA.
The growing of seeds of different
kinds is an industry which can be
developed and which offers very fine
returns for the right man. There is
a good opportunity to make money by
raising wheat and barley in rotation
with other crops. The region which
as has just been mentioned, has been
favorable for pea culture also has
been found to be splendidly adapted
to the growing of the wheat crop.
Nothing has been said with regards
to the growing Of sugar beets AS q
matter Of fact this crop can be grown
very profitably and the sugar content
is high. The drawback in the past
has been the matter of labor for most
regions. It has been found to be a
very profitable crop in Marinette coun-
ty.
Truck farming opportunities are to
be found in a good many localities.
The region tributary to Superior and
Duluth offers exceptional inducements
for the growing of garden stuff of all
kinds. Cabbage and other kale crops
grow splendidly well and give good re-
turns per acre. There are localities
having good shipping facilities, such
as Ashland, points near Hurley in Iron
county, and in many localities where
locations can be had on trunk lines,
which offer good opportunities for this
line of farming.

REGULATING
THE STOMACH
That Important Organ Works
According to the Quality Of
the Blood That Is Fur
nished to II.

There is the most intimate relation
between the condition of the blood and
the activity of the stomach. The blood
depends upon the stomach for large
part of its nourishment; while every
act of digestion, from the time the food
enters the stomach until it is digested
and assimilated by the blood, needs
plenty of pure, well-oxidized blood.
The stomach works only according to
the quality of the blood.
The most common cause of indiges-
tion is an@mia, or lack of blood. In
deed there is not a single disturbance OF
the health of the body nor any form of
exhaustion or lowered vitality, that
may not lead to stomach trouble. Dis
ordered blood is the one common cause
of indigestion. Thin, impure blood
weakens the muscles of the stomach
and lessons the product of the glands
which furnish the digestive fluids.
Nothing will more promptly cure in
digestion than plenty of pure, well-ox-
idized blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes it hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimulants"
under such circumstances is like set
ting the house on fire to see if you
can put it out.
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way of
eating Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years l had been
a great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medicine,
the doctor would ask me to drop off
potatoes, then meat, and so on, but in
a few days that craving, gnawing feel
ing would start up, and would vomit
everything I ate and drank.
When I started on Grape-Nuts, vom.
iting stopped. and the bloateG feeling
which was so distressing disappeared
entirely.
my mother was very much bothered
with diarrhoea before commencing the
Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was
so weak she could not digest her food.
Since using Grape-Nuts food she is
well. and says she don't think she
could do without it.
1T is great brain restorer and
nerve builder, for 1 can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after a supper OF
Grape-Nuts as in the old days when !
could not realize what they meant by
a bad stomach There is no medi.
cine so beneficial to nerves and brain
as good nights sleep such as you
can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts. .
