Les Douglass and G. Freshour
went into the pinenut business
quite extensively this season. They
gathered, this week, about 1900
pounds of nuts, and are going to
ship 1000 pounds to San Francisco.
They get 20 cents pound for prime
nuts, and as the expense of gather
ing them, shipping, freight, etc.,
will not be over $25, they will make
clear $175 for about four days
work. Les says if he had got onto
this racket sooner, before the nuts
were all gathered or had fallen out
of the burrs, he could have made
more money harvesting the nut
crop than he could make harvest
ing all the hay and grain on the
Carson river.

thus troubled, is to seek the aid of Hostetter's

digest with ease and eat with appetite. and
your liver will reassert its right to regularity.
Not only this, you can retire without a horrible
dread that the Washington monument will

Women Patronize Them.

Wherever postal savings banks
are in operation women are among
the most appreciative patrons OF
the system. AS rule women are
more careful of small sums than
men, and seem to have more prac-
teal realization of the value OF
such accumulations. In many
families it is only the foresight of
the wife that leads to provision be-
ing made against day of adver-
sity.
The desire OF women more gen.
orally than of men, is for place
of absolute safety for their small
savings rather than high rates OF
interest. Consequently they are
especially appreciative of the sta
bility which the postal savings
bank affords.
Probably Congress could do nc
other one thing that would COM
mend it so to the women of the
country as would the establishment
of a postal savings bank SYSTEM
