When your stomach begins to trouble you. it needs help. The help it needs, is to digest your food, and until it gets it, you won't have any peace. Stomach trouble is very distressing, very obstin' ate, very dangerous. Many of the most dangerous diseases begin with simple indigestion. The reason is that indi- gestion (not-digestion, not-nourish- ment) weakens the system and allows disease germs to attack 1t. The antidote is Shaker Digestive Cordial, strengthen ing, nourishing, curative. It cures in- digestion and renews strength and helth. It does this by strengthening the stomach, by helping 1t to digest your food. It nourishes you.

Advantages of Our Association.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: Few people fully
appreciate the advantages of a well reg
ulated building and loan association in
a community, and if you will allow the
space 1 will name a few: First, an op-
portunity 20 acquire a home; the home is
the foundation of the state; the stability
of a republic rests with hat of her citi-
zens, which in turn is determined by the
home.
All hat builds and establishes the
home is beneficent. This the Building
and Loan does. Another advantage is,
it affords an opportunity for the masses
to save a part of their earnings, which
would otherwise drift until it landed in
the pocket of the wealthy. 1t thus be-
comes All equalizer Of wealth. Any in
stitution hat has a tendency to dis
tribute the wealth of a community
among the many is without question a
public benefactor. 1t is also an educa-
tor; II who regularly pays his dues to
a Building and Loan association acquires
thereby a habit of promptness i'll meet
ing his obligations; and such habits are
of ~incalculable benefit to any
ity. 1t is a significant fact that consid-
ering the amount invested there has
been less loss i'll such associations than
any other business i'll Nebraska.
The McCook Cooperative Building
and Loan association stands among the
~irstin the state aud should be the pride
of McCook citizens. We have many
young men and older one too who draw
a fair salary each month, and no better
opportunity can be offered to them than
this association to help them save a por-
ton Of it. and have the advantage of
compound interest monthly. 1t is a
good and safe investment for all classes.

Seed Potatoes.

Out of 81 varieties of potatoes tested,
last year, by a leading potatoe grower OF
the west, the RURAL NEW YORKER No.
2 took the lead of late varieties. It is
excellent in quality, smooth, white skin
and flesh, an immense yielder, and un-
doubtedly the greatest drouth resisting
sort in existence. We raised 900 bushels
from a single acre, the first year, with
out irrigation after the seed was planted,
while other varieties only went from 30
to 100 bushels per acre. Have a number
of bushels of this variety which I will
sell at soc. per bushel, delivered at Nc
Cook if desired. Other varieties at 35c.
All pure seed. S. E. SOLOMON,

TRUCK FARMING.

MR. EDIToR:-I notice at many of
the towns in Arkansas, the farmers
are forming themselves into leagues,
for the purpose of inaugurating
truck farming, in their communi'
ties.
Ihave not heard of the farmers
in and about Texarkana, saying
anything about such course. 1t
is to be hoped they will not be be-
hind their farmer brethren of other
places; for truck farming is the sure
road to prosperity, among the
farmers of this vicinity.
Judsonia sold 100000 worth OF
Strawberries last season, and Fort
Smith $40, 100000 worth of potatoes.
| have been told the soil in the
vicinity of Texarkana is better
adapted for early potatoes than the
soil in the vicinity of Fort Smith,
If that be true, and l am reliably
informed it is, why can not the
farmers in the vicinity of Texar'
kama, ship as many potatoes this
year as the farmers did in the vicin
ity of Fort Smith last. They have
better shipping facilities from Tex
arkana, and have their crop ready
for market two weeks earlier, which
would enable them to receive bet
ter price.
l would suggest that our farmer'
in the vicinity of Texarkana, come
together, and take some concert o
action. Let US see some of oul
commission merchants, and Learn
quotations of different products fol
past years.

Evangelist MOOre's Sermon Last
Night,

A large crowd greeted Evangelist
Moore last night and heard his
splendid sermon on the resurrec-
tiou of Christ.
Mr. Moore, among other things,
said that, the infdel advocates
nothing, claims nothing, and de-
tends nothing" He further said
that three things were admitted
by both Christians aud infidels, that
Is, that Jesus lived, died and was
buried" " He said the point in dis
pute between them was, that Chris
tiaus believe that Jesus arose, and
that infidels do not believe 1t. He
said that the testimony in the case
was the only wayof deciding it; that
the only witnesses on the infdel
side were the 60 Roman soldiers who
guarded the tomb. At this point
Mr.. Moore examined the witnesses
as though conducting a trial 1t
was somewhat amusing when he
discovered that the Roman soldiers,
the only witnesses that ever did
live who could testify on the infdel
side, every one admitted that they
we're SOUND ASLEEP while the body
was being removed. 1t was shown
that the testimony of a man who
was asleep would not be taken in
any court.
On the other hand, he examined
the witnesses on the Christian side
of the question and found that they
were live, wide-awake men and
women, who lived, walked, talked
and ate with Christ after he arose.
Not only so, but that these witness
es for Christ, EVERY ONE OF THEM,
stood by their testimony till the day
OF His death. Not d single man OF
woman among the witnesses fol-
Christ's resurrection was ever known
to retract single word of his OF
her testimony, tho all the apostles
except John died rather than re-
tract.
