THE WONDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY
BETTER LATE THAN EARLY
Has Proved a Great Success—Thou-
sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.
The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvelous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the well-known
Seedsman of Floral Park, N. Y., has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say it
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr. John Burroughs, the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and a marvelous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says it fruits
abundantly even in pure sand. In the
short season of North-western Canada
it is a godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
D. S. Hall, Wichita, Kan., says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
K. S. Enochs, Hammond, La., says
it yields $250 worth of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. J. H. Powers,
4732 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on a space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.
J. P. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says its
equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
Cal., says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
W. T. Davis, Enon, Va., says it is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of U. S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 10,375 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands the long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
abundantly all summer.
It is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Nov )lty
ever introduced.
THE CRAFTY CREDITOR
"Sorry, old man—bad tooth?"
"No—dentist owes me money—can't
get near him—trying new scheme."
Ruling Passion.
"I knew Putt's smoking would get
him into trouble."
"Well?"
"At his wedding, when it came to
the ring part, he reached into b!q|
pocket and handed the minister .*
match."
So Touching.
Anxious Suitor—But, sir, I thrill at
your daughter's slightest touch.
Practical Father—Young man, I find
her slightest touch is usually for a
hundred dollars.

Here Is Ca^e Where the Sage Old
Proverb Might yvith Profit Have
Been Reversed.
There is a certain young Broad
street broker whose recent sad experi-
ence in endeavoring to pull the wool
over his wife's eyes has led him to de-
clare "never again."
Now, it Is the broker's custom to
take a 5:30 suburban train, thus en-
abling him to reach his home in West-
chester in ample time for the early
dinner that both he and his wife like.
The other day he fell. Meeting an
old college mate he yielded to the lat-
ter's entreaties for an evening in town.
The next step was, of course, to tele-
graph the wife, which he did in these
terms: "Unavoidably detained. Missed
the 5:30. Home later."
When hubby finally did show up, he
observed an expression on the coun-
tenance of his spouse that argued fail-
ure of his little fib.
"What's the trouble, dear?" he
asked, with an affected nonchalance.
Without a word the wife handed him
the telegraph slip, indicating with her
forefinger the words:
"Received at 4:45."—Lippincott's
Magazine.
Practical Christianity.
"On behalf of the sewing circle of
this church," said the pastor at the
conclusion of the morning service, "I
desire to thank the congregation for
57 buttons placed in the contribution
box during the past month. If now
the philanthropically inclined donors
of these objects will put a half-dozen
lindershirts and three pairs of oth^r
strictly secular garments on the plate
next Sunday morning, so that we may
have something to «ew those buttons
on, we shall be additionally grateful."
—Harper's Weekly.
The girl who says she wouldn't mar-
ry the best man living will probably
live to have the satisfaction of know-
ing she didn't.
The decollette gown demonstrate!
that when a woman is in the swim she
wants to wear as few clothes as pos-
sible.
Their Status.
"Are they happy?"
"Happy? No, they're rich."—St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.
Nothing endures but the eternal
commonplace; and if one departs from
that it is to run the most perilous
risks.—Charles Wagner.
Many a girl never suspects a young
man's intentions until he asks her if
she can cook.

GET POWER.
The Supply Comes From Food.
If we get power from food, why not
strive to get all the power we can.
That is only possible by use of skill-
fully selected food that exactly fits
the requirements of the body.
Poor fuel makes a poor fire, and a
poor fire is not a good steam producer.
"From not knowing how to select the
right food to fit my needs, I suffered
grievously for a long time from stom-
ach troubles," writes a lady from a
little town in Missouri.
"It seemed as if I would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me. Hardly anything
that I could eat would stay on my stom-
ach. Every attempt gave me heart-
burn and filled my stomach with gas.
I got thinner and thinner until I lit-
erally became a living skeleton and in
time was compelled to keep to my bed.
"A few months ago I was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning
that I have kept up its use ever since.
I was surprised at the ease with which
I digested it. It proved to be just what
I needed.
"All my unpleasant symptoms, the
heart-burn, the inflated feeling which
gave me such pain disappeared. My
weight gradually increased from 98
to 116 lbs., my figure rounded out, my
strength came back, and I am now
able to do my housework and enjoy it.
Grape-Nuts did it."
A ten days' trial will show anyone
some facts about food.
Look in pkgs. for the little book, "The
Road to Wellville." "There's a Reason."
