WIDOWS AND ORPHANS.

After fully considering the many good deeds done by the Sisters of Charity and the citizens of Birmingham, can we not for one moment realize the condition of the widows and orphans calling for as- sistance? We receive freeley, can we not give in the same willing and sincere spirit in which we receive the necessities of life? We must admit that some of them don't want work, while some walk the streets constantly seeking em- ployment, but in vain. Can we not give them a few dimes and dollars instead of turning them from our doors hungry and heartbroken at the thought of their little ones? Can we see them starve in the midst of plenty? If we have we should give and thank the Lord for the privilege. HERALD READER.

It is good thing to believe in dreams. but to believe in them in the right way A bad dream is warning.

Imperfect digestion means imperfect nutrition. It means that the strength and food that ought to go into the blood from the digestive organs-that should. go to build the tissues that waste every day--is being perverted and Is doing no good. It means that there will be loss of solid, strengthful flesh that the nerves will be uncovered just that much that de- bility will ensue; and that the mans body IS ready for the reception of disease germs. That is the real meaning of the mans dreams, and such dreams should always be taken to mean that the use of Dr. Pierce,s Golden Medical Discovery is urgent and imperative, if health would be preserved.

FRUIT RATES.


This season from present indications,
will witness the gathering Of the most
bountiful fruit crop ever known in Colo
RADIO and the shipments will reach
much higher total than usual from this
section. With the large yield will come
lower prices and the necessity for the
greatest economy possible in the ex-
pense Of marketing. One of the lines OF
reduction should be in the express
charges on goois to the mountain towns
and we believe that the company can
well afford to make liberal reduction
in the rates and that IL they do 30 the
greatly increased tonnage secured will
amply recoup them for such reduction.
The fruit growers Of this county should
bestir themselves in this direction SO as
to secure their rates before the time ar
rives for shipments to begin. They can
find no more practical way OF securing
lower rates than to join the Delta Coun-
ty Board Of Trade and work through its
committees, as this Organization last
year secured many concessions on freight
rates.

HERE'S one result Of the successful at
tsmpts OF the Delta people to erect and
operate a creamery: Two dairymen have
removed from Montroee and bought land
near Delta 30 that the milk from their
herd could be sold there. THE DELTA
INDEPENDENT, commenting on this says:
"One OF the surest evidences OF the value
OF the creamery to this community is
that George and Willard Truax moved
their herd OF fine Jersey cows down from
Montrose as soon as it was ready to re-
ceive milk. They know that there is
money in milk il they can get market
for it and that the creamery will furnish
the market is self evident fact. There
is room for many more such Senter-
prising men as these brothers in Delta
county" With ordinary energy and
rustic the business men OF Montrose
could have long ago put up and main
tained q successful creamery in this town
and could thus have retained the Truaxs
besides anording . homo market for
many other owners Of dairy cows. Mont
rose must get move on or take back
seat,-Montrose Press. ..n1
