than usual interest will be the first
locomotive used in Oregon, mere

Here are few fruit tree pruning
rules: Trim little every year, rath-
err than much in any one year. Peach
trees require more pruning than most
trees; at least one-haf of the new
growth should be removed each sea-
son. Cherry trees require the least
pruning; merely cut out dead, brok
en- or crossed" limbs. Other trees
need a judicious thinning out and,
sometimes, cutting back" If two
branches interlock, remove the small

likewise true that advertising now

duce good results. The great de-

all been built up through adver-
Using. If they were to discontinue
advertising there is not one of
them that would not soon be oblig-

country store is a department
store on small scale and the
most successful country merchants
are the ones who are adapting to
their business the methods of their
city competitors SO far as practic-
able. But they have to contend
with many conditions that do not
confront the city merchant, and
the most trying of these are the

The stomach proper has ceased to

He can invade and explore it with

of it entirely and so arrange the

triton are successfully maintained.
TO be sure, the patient can never
thereafter derive much pleasure
from his meals. He must restrict
himself to d rigid diet. But for all

Quality VS.. Quantity.

Hard muscles and strong body
do not depend on the quantity of
food you eat, but on its perfect
and proper assimilation.
When you take Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure, your system gets all the
nourishment out Of all the food
you eat. 1t digests what you eat
regardless of the condition of the
stomach and conveys the nutri-
cient properties to the blood and
tissues. This builds up and
strengthens the entire system.

The British Medical Journal tells
the following story: According to
Sir John Malcolm, a well known
Scotch surgeon, on the introduction
of vaccine incubation into India,
the practice met with great opposi-
ton from the natives In order to
overcome their prejudices Mr.. Ellis
of Madras, who was well versed in
Sanskrit literature, composed a
short poem on vaccination in that
language. The poem was inscribed
on old paper and was said to have
been just discovered. The object OF
the pious fraud was that the i'm
preston of vaccinations antiquity
might l:elp to reconcile the minds
of Brahmans 10 the use of a prophy-
Tactic drawn from their sacred COW.
