Indigestion is often taken for
consumption. The word consump-
ton means wasting away, and dys-
peptics often waste away as badly
as consumptives.
The reason people waste away is
because either they don't get
enough to eat, or they don't digest
what they eat.
If the latter is your trouble, take

The heaviest profit is made from
the small things ON the farm in
proportion to capital invested. The
garden pays more than the fields,
and chickens, ducks, geese and
turkeys give larger profits than the
cattle, according to the cost of the
articles sold. Nothing produced
on the farm sells at such high pri-
ces as eggs, and choice poultry will
sell at all seasons, enabling the
farmer to have returns from such

in the neighborhood whore it is
being successfully worked, is cost
ing the farmers and country store
keepers of Lane county, Or, good
deal of money. The swindler
claims to be n Treasury detective
looking for counterfeit coin. He
asks the farmers and storekeepers
to submit their coin for his in
spection. He puts on the silver
dollar chemical solution which
turns them black, declares them
spurious, and takes them with
him. He also impressively warns
his victims that they are Liable to
arrest for having counterfeit money
in their possession, and causes
them to keep very quiet about the
matter, thus helping him along in
his work of bunco.
This fellow will be around here
after awhile, and will find many
victims among the class of
farmers who do not take and read
their county papers. Keep your
eye open, however, for him.
