Consumption is a human
weed hourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
TO digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you wont.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

FARM LAND INVESTMENTS.

Denver Republican; 1t Is a fact
supported by statistics that the own.
ers of farm lands In Colorado In the
last ten years have made moro on
their acres than the owners Of mines
have upon theirs. This holds good
no, only an regards incrcmonts in val
uos. but as TO the net profit of pro
dnction.

industry has added 100 per cent to

Try In the state has made varitabio
gold mines OF some acres which were
formerly arid, or productive ouly Of

Fertility of soil plus intelligence In

la for agricultural success. Intensive
cultivation on small areas, near un'
limited markets, such as those OF a
sugar factory or a large city, has be

after murders nave been committed.
Al the present time a movement is
in progress Whose purpose is to secure
a more stringent enforcement of ordi-

more open and ilagrant forms of vice,
and in general 10 make our city more

CRIME. is THE FRUIT OF VICE
AND THE CITY THAT SOWS THE
SEED WILL. SURELY. REAP THE
HARVEST.
An ounce of prevention is better
than a pound of cure, and the way to
prevent the wanton murder of promi-
nent citizens is to discourage the pres
ence and the development of desper-
ate criminals who are constantly on
the outlook for some opportunity to
rob or to murder.
High license and the strict en-
/ forcement of sensible ordinances
against vice are the means by which
life and property may be made safe
while the free and easy policy at

to such dreadful crimes as the one
which came with such shock to this

Rev. n u Says II Is Possible for Most

Chicago Record d-Herald: Before his
regular sermon, which was on Good

yesterday morning delivered a prelude
on How to Live Century" He said
In part:
Five thousand years ago few per
sons lived less than century, except
when Killed in battle. Those were
primitive days and man lived a very
simple and easy-going life. He spent
most of his time in the open air He
fed himself largely from the fruits OF
the chase His worship of the true
God. though quite unceremonious, was
intenseley sincere. Course dinners and
all-night parties We're long in the fu-
ture.
To-day men live too fast The
stock ticker is not companionable with
longevity. 'Get-rich-qulck' schemes do
not fuse well with the philosophy OF
content.

A DASTARDlY CRIME AND
SOME OF ITS LESSONS

Pueblo Chieftain: No more reck-
less and unwaranted crime was ever
committed than the double murder
that took place in a Pueblo restaurant
Sunday evening. Two honorable citi-
zens, peacefully engaged in their
evening meal, were suddenly and with
out any provocation shot to death by
a rober who does not seem to have
possessed even the ordinary mercy or
compunction of his class.
Such wanton, cruel and utterly
unjustifiable murder calls for prompt
and certain punishment.
II would be fragrant and everlast-
ing disgrace to this community and to
its citizens and officials II SUCH a
crime should go unpunished
The circumstances of the deed were
such as to make it certain that care
full search and investigation will re
suit in the discovery. arrest and pun
ishment by the law of the guilty ones.
No excuse for failure TO secure these
results will be tolerated by public

MANY FARMERS LENDING MONEY

In answer To the question. Are the
farmers borrowing money or lending
their surplus?" twenty Illinois banks
reported that the farmers OF their vi
cinity were lenders; fourteen that
they were using their surplus buying
cattle sixteen that farmers We're
heavy borrowers, and twelve that they
were paying of loans. From Iowa
twenty-four banks reported that the
farmers were borrowing. but not more
than usual, and three that they were
lending. In Indiana twenty banks re-
ported that farmers are lending. while
several others state that they are Dor
rowing to make payments on newly
purchased land. Wisconsin reports
that some OF its farmers have money
in the banks and are loaning besides,
while few are borrowing. In Mime
sofa nineteen banks report farmers
borrowing as usual, eleven others re
port farmers lending, principally to
one another, and nine banks report
them investing In cattle feeders. Mis-
souri, farmers are borrowing generally.
except that few lend to fellow farm
ers, or are buying more land. Kansas
farmers are lending literally, while

In Nebraska farmers are mostly
