Boil a cupfui Of water, and in it,
mixed with cold water put 2 teaspoon

Reply to Farmer Who Wants Some In-
Formations.
To the Editor of The Press.
Sir:-The gold standard ana pro-
lection men tell us that as soon as they
are placed in Office wages and prices
will be better on account of the tariff
bill they will enact. Where Is the
farmer to come in? Wages are to
be better, which means that ne wnl
have to pay more wages. Prices VIII
be better (that means manufactured
articles, for they only are to be pro-
tected). which means he will have to-
pay more for clothing. farming imple-
ments. etc., and sell his farm prod
ucts at the same old price or less, for
they have been growing less for years
cotton in the south, wheat and corn
in the west. He is, therefore. worse
off, Is he not? I am no kicker but
want to know the why. FARMERs
Philadelphia, Aug 20.
The farmer has a vital interest in
the prosperity of the country. He Is
prospered, gets good prices, when the
country is prosperous, when the mines
and mills are at full work; railroads
are constructed, and new enterprises
engage the capital and labor OF the
country and surround the farmer with
a host of consumers, willing and able
to pay good prices for his products.
Prices of farm products are low and
the market for them is weak because
the consumers are out of pocket. They
eat less and cheaper food Up to four
years ago farm products brought as
good prices as they ever did, except
wheat, cotton, and few other staples,
whose prices are determined by the
sharp competition Of the foreign mar
ket. Mr.. Lucian B! Swift of Indianap-
oils has tabulated the prices of farm
products in Indiana from 1879 to 1892.
The currency prices are translated in

"For five weeks lissa on cold water, SO

He could hardly keep anything ON his
stomach. What stayed, wasn't properly
digested and gave him terrible pangs.
This Is not an uncommon case. Dyspep-
ties don't get enough nourishment They
are generally thin and weak
They may eat enough, but they don't
digest enough. Much of what they eat
turns intopoison. II this keeps on there's
