Oil Output Record.

The highest monthly output of petro-
leum ever recorded In the United States,
79.662,000 barrels was obtained in Oc-
tober.
The Bureau of Mines said the Octo-
Der output represented an increase of
$4,000 barrels over September and
$4,000 barrels over October, 1927. Half
Of the increase was due to the enlarged
output of Oklahoma fields.
Though consumption of all forms of
refined petroleum increased in October,
total stocks showed an increase of
226,o00 barrels for the month.
Gasoline production was reduced
slightly and there was a fall in eX-
ports Of this product, stocks at refiner-
les being 26,453,000 barrels, an increase
over the previous month.

Hurts Require Rest
Every living thing requires rest
because activity uses up certain ma

still 30 that the tissue may properly

Tuberculosis il a disease that
burns up body tissue. Hence pro-

The time given to rest varies with
each person and the patient with
tuberculosis must be studied as an
individual in order to determine
just how much and what kinds Of
rest he should have.

The VALVE OF Quiet
Visitors are excluded, all excite
ment avoided, and laxative nurses
particularly kept away from the pa

only absolute physical rest. but also
complete mental rest.
The length OF time the patient re-
mains in bed depends entirely on
his condition and the speed of his
recovery. This must be determined
by the physician in each case.

who have reared families and find

who is chairman Pf the Exposition
of Wo1men's Arts and Industries.
Oftentimes their business VEN

And often they are surprised al

successful is to be demonstrated at

hibit here during the first week IN
October.
Down in Nashville, Tenn, is a
woman with four grown daughters
who wanted something to do and
went into her own kitchen to find
the answer. Today her pickles go

of becoming a national distributor.
