GOOD WEATHER FOR
FARMING OPERATIONS.

The Illinois crop bulletin for
the week ending Sept. 80 says:
The past week has been dry and
warm. The nights hsve, however,
been rat her cool and light frost oc.
Cured in parts of the northern dis
trict. No damage resulted rbe
dry weather is again becoming quite
serious matter over parts of the
central and southern districts and
vegetation is again feeling its effects
while stock water is becoming scarce
in some localities. In the mort bern
district conditions are more favorable
The week has been excellent for car
rying on farming operations. except
the seeding Of wheat and rye, which
has been retarded by the dry condition
of the soil. Considerable Of this
work has been done. how
ever, the ground having been
prepared while in the favor BILE con-
dition caused by the rains earlier in
the month. In soEe localitie- The
plant has come up and is doing fairly
we'll, but rain is needed to cause a
good growth. Some farmers have
delayed seeding through fear of the
Hessian Fl and the chinch bug. Corn,
except few late fields, is now out of
danger from frost. and cutting for
fodder is practically at an end A
few very late fields would be injured
by heavy frost in the near future.
Estimates of the condition of the crop
have not changed ma erially from
those of last week. In few localities
the yield will be better than w7s ex-
pected and in few others not so good.
Some corn is now ready to- be husked
and this work will soon be general
Previous reports regarding injury by
frost have generally been verified
Broom corn harvest is practically
over. and continued favorable reports
regarding the crop are received.
Stock peas were badly damaged by
frost, but in some localities the yield
is fair 70 good. This crop is now be-
ing harvested. Meadows and pas
lures are doing well in the northern
district. and good fall Pasturage is
promised In the central and south
ern districts pastures are not doing
SO well and in many localities they
are badly dried up. POTATOES are
yielding poorly, though they are fair
to good in parts of the northern dis
trict. Winter apple picking has be-
gun. Reports generally continue un-
favorable and in many places the
apples are still falling. A few report
ers state, however, that the crop is
better than was expected, both in
yield and quality"

WHAT SHALL WE EAT
70 Keep BeaIthy sud strong?

A healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides e flllow
Ia matters of diet, and = mixed diet
of grains fruits and meats is I'M
douoCedly the best in spite of the
cl,ims made by vegetarian aud food
cranks generally
As compared with grains and vege-
tab es meat furnishes the most n1tri-
and Is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables or e aims.
DIR. julius hemusssn On this sub
iect says: Nervous persons, people
run down in health and of low vital
ity should eat plenty o. mat If the
d gestion is TOO feeble at first it may
be easily strengthened by the regular
use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab cts
after each meal Two of these excellent
tab cts taken after dinner will digest
several thousand gcains of meat. eggs
or other animal food in three or four
hours, while the malt diastase also
contained in Stuart's Tablets cause
the perfect digestion of starchy foods
like potatoes bread etc., and no
matter how weak the stomach may
b. no trou BILE will b. experienced if a
regular practice is maze of u-ing Stu
arts Dyspepsia lab ct, because they
supply the pepsin and diastase so
necessary to perfect digestion, and
any form of indig -stion aud stomach
trouble. except cancer of the stom-
ach. will be overcome by their daily
use.
That large class of people who come
81 a u
should eat plenty of meat and insure
it's complete digestion by the syste-
matte use of safe. harmless digestive
medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. composed of the natural di-
gestive principles peptones and dia-
tase, which actually perform the work
of digestion and give the abused
stomach chance to rest and to
furnish the body and brain with the
necessary nutriment. Cheap cathar
tic medicines incorporating under the
name of dyspepsia cures are useless
for relief or cure of indigestion be-
cause they have absolutely no effect
upon the actual digestion OF food.
Dyspepsia in all its forms is simply
q failure of the stomach to digest
food, and tue sensible way to solve
the riddle and cure the indigestion is
to make daily use at meal time of
safe preparation which is endorsed
by the medical profession and known
to contain activefligestive principles,
and all this can truly be said of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.

ed States. Canada and Great Britain

cents for full treatment.

elsewhere in a way that an individual
company could not do. There are no
steel plows at all in South America.
Most of the people there use print
tive devices for blowing All that is
needed is TO show them the superior
ity of steel plows ana they will buy
them. One of our mem bers is now
filling an order for 900 plows in
Russia. There is no reason why We

GOOD NEWS FROM GERMANY.

There are some cheering indications that the business situation in Germany is about to improve. Iron shares have advanced on the Berlin Bourse 10 per cent, and the president of the Imperial Bank of Germany says there is reason to believe that the worst of the finan- cial crisis is now over. Even in Saxo- ny, where the depression has been se- verest, there is feeling of greater con- f1dence. In Berlin electrical and bank stocks as well as ocean steamship shares, have advanced. A reduction in the price of coke has imparted better tone to Germany's iron and steel man. ufacturlng industry. Its exports of steel are increasing, and it's iron trade is also expanding. The cotton and woolen goods industries are looking up.
 This is good news. What helps Ger many will help other nations, including our own wonderfully prosperous nation. It is to be hoped that the recovery in Germany will be speedy and sound.
The daily morning journal and courier., 1901-11-30

for the favorable issue of combat A closer parallel of our Thanksgiving day is the old Hebrew feast of taberna cles, , or the feast of ingatherlng at the end of the year. Moreover the civil authori- ties in Europe occasionally recommend ed the observance of a day of thanks giving, such as that of Leyden. Holland, on October g. 1575 the first anniversary of the deliverance of that city from siege.
 For many years after the first Ply mouth Thanksgiving the day was ob- served In America only at irregular in- tervals, and for special reasons. Among the famous early observances was that of 1928. Tn July of that year day of fasting and prayer was ap- pointed because of drouth, and rain coming during the prayer, the governor proclaimed a day of thanksgiving, which was observed with religious ex- ercises The arrival of supplies from Ireland in 1881 changed fast day in Charlestown into thanksgiving in a similar way. In 1882 Governor Win throp of the Massachusetts Bay colony, recommended day of thanksgiving on account of the action of the privy council favorable to the colonies. Many other special observances might be noted, but 1t was not until 1880 that the appointment of thanksgiving day became an annual custom. The later of these appear to have been more nearly related to the New England Thanksgiving day of after years, in that they we're given for a successful harvest During the Revolution a day of thanksgiving was annually recom- mended by congress and in 17S4 there was a general thanksgiving for the peace, but after that there was no na- tional appointment until 17S9, when Washington recommended day of for the adoption of the Constitution.
 In 1795 and 1915, Thanksgiving days were appointed by proclamation of the the first by washington for the suppression of irsurrection, and the
