Dangers of the Grin.

The greaest danger from La Grippe is of
its resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable
care is used, however, and Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be
avoided. Among the tens of thousands who
have used this remedy for la grippe, we
have yet to learn of a single case having re-
suited in pneumonia, which shows conclu-
sively that this remedy is II certain preven-
tv OF that dread disease. 1t will effect II
permanent cure in less time than any other

A tired stomach is very much like sprained
ankle. If you suffer from any Of the symp-
toms of dyspepsia, your stomach is tired. 1t
needs a crutch. We must relieve it Of all
work for time, or until it is restored to its
natural strength. To do this successfully, we
must use a food which is already digested out
side of the body, and which will aid the di-
gestion OF other foods that may be taken
with it. Such n product is the Shaker Diges-
Cordial.

principles present in plants for the manu-

fore. Mr.. Forgan then said the pro-
posed scheme of company with a
capital stock of $100,000,000 to lend
money to the farmers of the west and
south at rate per cent of about one
half what they can not borrow money
would surely be a failure.
Experience has proved" said Mr.
Forgan, that enterprises of that kind
cannot be successful. The credit mo-
biler of France has done away the
loaning of money on land and now SIM
ply conducts banking business. This
scheme had its origin in this country,
but proved failure"
IF the workingmen contribute their
money to any such scheme as this, as
it is suggested, they will, they will
surely lose it. Another thing makes
me think there is nothing in the story
at all, if any man could get together
$10O,0OO.000 to>loan at any such rate of
interest he would be a fool to go out
inducing farmers to borrow it when
the brokers in New York would fall
over themselves offering this, on Sc
curities better than any thing else the
farmers could offer.
The cost of conducting such a COM
pany would be something enormous.
The president of such a company would
have to be paid a large salary. Then
there would have to be men employ
ed to go into the country and look up
farmers who wanted to borrow, and
there would be the expense of exam
lining records. 1 can't see where there
would be any profit to any one con-
cerned with such an organization and
1 think it very improbable that there
will be such done"
