Harvest Notes

POOR OUTLOOK.

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind, July 30
Farmers report the corn prospects
dwindling every day. Much of it has
had little rain since planting, and 1t
will be short crop no matter as to
future rain. Pastures have long since
dried up, potatoes are a serious loss
and garden vegetables almost fail
ure. There was fair hay crop, a
good oats crop and a bumper wheat
crop. OF fruits there was a light crop
of berries, and the few apples that are
in sight for winter use are dropping
badly.

PARADISE FOR THE ARTIST
Devotees Of the Brush Are Accorded
Accommodations Without Price
at Inn at CAPRI.

Capri, beautiful In itself as a winter
resort, offers an irresistible invitation
tc artists, since II has an inn where
anyone, by painting picture on the
wall, can get free board.
To the lovely island OF Capri, with
its perennial summer, Its blue grotto,
and its lemon groves, came, some fifty
years ago, ruined artist. He opened
an inn, and died rich. In his will.
leaving the inn to his heirs, he made
these conditions:
The charge per day, two bottles OF
red Capri wine included, is never te
be more than six frencs.
''If any artist Is too poor to pay hi
shall paint picture upon some wall
space, receiving all the accommods
tion accorded to those paying the high
asst price.
III any German artist shall come
70 the Inn he shall be accommodated
ind shall receive the amount OF his
Care to Germany upon his promisii I
,lever to return to Italy"
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. It's walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then a German
gets his fare home.

dered in a duel"
The cause of the duel. as II appears
in the light OF the present day, seems
trivial. At the Fourth OF July celebra-
ton of 1901, George Eacker delivered
an address which by his partisans
was received with great praise. He
criticized the federalist, which an
gered the party favorable to Hamilton.
A few days before the duel, Philip
Hamilton, with a friend named Price,
occupied the same box at the old Park
theater on Park Row, with Eacker
and some OF Packers friends.
The Park theater was nearly In the
middle of the block between Ann and
Beekman streets, little above the
present Park Row building. Hamilton
and Price INDUCED in some laughing
remarks about Eacker's speech. The
latter, overhearing the conversation
asked Hamilton to step into the lob
by. Price followed. There was a
slight alteration, ending by Eacker's
using the word "rascals." According
to the dueling code, that demandsd
satisfaction. After the performance
the three men repaired to a nearby
tavern and when Eacker was asked
! for whom he meant the epithet he re
piled. For both" He then left. say

SICK DOCTOR
Proper Food Put Him Right.

The food experience OF a physician
In his own case when worn and weak
from sickness and when needing nour-
ishment the worst way, is valuable;
'An attack of grip. so severe 1t came
near making an end of me, left my
stomach in such condition / could not
retain any ordinary food. I knew OF
course that must have food nourish-
ment or could never recover.
II began to take four teaspoonfuls
Of Grape-Nuts and cream three times
a day and for 2 weeks this was almost
my only food. II tasted so delicious
that l enjoyed II immensely and my
stomach handled II perfectly from the
first mouthful. II was so nourishing
I was quickly built back to normal
health and strength.
"Grape-Nuts is OF great value as food
to sustain life during serious attacks
in which the stomach is so deranged
II cannot digest and assimilate other
foods.
