REASONABLE HINTS.
Guard Your Health in Fall and Early
 Winter.

A change from warm to cold is al ways attended with more danger than from a cold to a warm tempera tur., hence the greater mortality from lung and throat diseases at this season of the year as compared with spring.
 The best protection against colds is not so much in extra clothing as in good digestion.
 If the digestion and circulation are good, colds will be unknown.
 Poor digestion causes poor circula ton of the blood and when in this condition severe colds are contracted on the slightest provocation.
 People who make regular practice of taking Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after meals are free from colds. simply because their digestion is perfect, the heart strong and regular, and the whole system fortified against disease.
 It requires little argument to con vince anyone that the best safeguard against colds, pneumonia and changes of temperature is a good stomach.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals are dissolved and mingling with the food cause it to be promptly digested and assimiliated: they do this because they contain nothing but harmless digestive elements, which di- gest meat, eggs and other food even when the stomach itself is weak and f1accid.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make peo- pie well and keep them well. and the best habit you can acquire is to keep daily use of them at meals to make the digestive organs strong and vigorous

Our reporter noticed that a carload of vehicles had been shipped in here and were being peddled out to the ranchers. We inquired of our dealers if this could be done as cheaply as they could sell the same class of Ve- hicles and were assured that it could not, and if any rancher would stop to figure d little he would see that he is paying from 25 to 30 per cent more for these vehicles than he would have to pay to the local dealer for the same vehicle. These people pay S1O0 for i censes for each peddler; then they have the expense of team hire, feed bills. help. hotel bills and rent. and these items, without counting salaries. are about $35 per day. and this the pur chaser always pays. Then he is buy ing from strangers and those who have no interest In the valley instead of deal ing with those who are trying to up build the community. These people sell on long time and of necessity their losses from bad debts are great. and these losses are paid by those who settle their notes or buy for cash. It's all figured in the price. We are as sured by our dealers that such wagons as these parties sell -or $175 they will furnish at $125, and buggies for S1C0 that they sell for $40.
 Everything a local dealer sells is guaranteed and anything that goes wrong he at once makes good. Those from a distance make a similar guar antee. but the purchaser must return the defective part and a new one will be sent. TEis takes time and the use of the vehicle is lost while the parts are in u ansit.
