Leaving Manurc I'm Hcor.-

The only advantage we could see
from the practice of dumping manure
in heaps was the ease with which it
could be done and the wagon unloaded
for another load. The manure thus
dumped is never so evenly spread as it
can be from the wagon. To unload
quickly always have two men on the
load, spreading from each end of the
wagon. Then there will be no heaps
to lie on the ground. perhaps for
weeks. and giving the field ''patchy'
appearance in the larger growth of
straw where the manure heaps have
lain. Often this extra large growth
rusts and yields less grain than where
the straw was smaller.

THE BANKS THE LOSERS
GREENFIELD NAIL COMPANY ISSUED
WAREHOUSE RECEIPTS.
But They Were Invalid, Says the SUI
preme COurt-COmpany InsOl-
vent at the Time.

The Supreme Court yesterday rendered
an opinion In the case of the Franklin Ma
tional Bank and the National Bank of
Rockville against the receiver of the Green
field Iron and Nail Company. The nail
company issued warehouse receipts on its
stocks in its own factory, on which re-
ceipts it borrowed money from the banks
and number of individuals. who took it
for granted that the warehouse receipts
were valid and that the stock of the COM
pany, having no chattel mortgages against
it, was ample security. The company OBJ
tanned a license from the auditor OF Han
cock county authorizing it to conduct
warehouse, and thereupon declared its fac
tory to be such an establishment, although
it subsequently received no goods for stor-
age nor kept any stock on hand save its
own At the time of the issuance of the
warehouse receipts, the concern was in
solvent.
The court held that manufacturing es-
Establishment was not a warehouse, that the
nail company never conducted a warehouse
business, and that If it had conducted such
a business, even under full authorization
of the law, its receipts would still be void
If they were issued upon its own property
in its own possession The banks therefore
do not possess a lien on the property COW
cred by the receipts in their possession, and
are entitled only to the rights belonging to
general creditors.

DANGER IN SODA

Common soda is all right in its place and
indispensable in the kitchen and for cooking

It as such will some day regret 1T.
We refer to the common use of soda to
relieve heartburn or sour stomach, habit
which thousands Of people practice almost
daily, and one which is fraught with dam
ger; moreover the soda only gives tempo
rary relief. and in the end the stomach trou-
bic gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irrtant to
the walls of the stomach and bowels aud
cases are on record where 1t accumulated in
the intestnes, causing death by inflamma-
ton or peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the safest
and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dys-
pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets. These tablets are large 70

contain the natural acids, peptones and di-

and when taken after meals they digest the
