HIGH PRICE FOR TURKEY.
DssIers Claim Crop so Per Cent Be
low Averase-Thankssivins
Bird Scarce.

Thanksgiving turkey is liable to cost
More this wear than in many seasons.
Local poultry and produce dealers de-
clare that the best advices that they
are able to obtain from the country in
.icate that the crop is not more than
one-half OF the average this year. 1t is
expected that q well fattened gobbler
that will tip the beam at twenty five
pounds will be worth a SIS bill or check
before Thanksgiving day.
AS vet, few are offered for market.
Turkey raisers generally are aware Of
the shortaRe and are fattening their
birds unusually well In order that they
may obtain the LARGEST sum for their
product 1t is expected that the first
birds marketed will probably bring Is
cents per pound. but before the
THANKSGIVING rush is over that they
Will advance to 20 cents or more per
pound.
Ducks and Geese Plentiful.
There In fair supply of ducks and
tame geese and they are likely to re-
place the turkeys In the Thanksgiving
feast. This will probably result in a
higher price for this kind Of fowl than
they, ordinarily commanded. Chickens
are not as plentiful as usual at this
time; of the year but SO far the price
has not gone much above the average.
The supply Of eggs during the late
| summer and fall has been better than
usual and more are stored away. In
/ consequence Of the Increased number
Of cold storage eggs 1t is not believed
that the price will go unusually high
! this winter.

CdtaITh Of the Stomach
A Pleasant, Simple, But Safe and Eff
fccfual Cure for 1t.
COSTS NOTHING TO TRY.

Catarrh Of the stomach has lon
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are
full or bloated sensation after eatin
accompanied sometimes with sour
watery risings, a formation of case
causing pressure on the heart an
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches, tickle appetite, nervousness an
a general played-out languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in tn
mouth, coated tongue and if the inter
ior of the stomach could be seen i
would show a Shiny, infamed condi
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti
nate disease is found in a treatmen
which causes the food to be readii
thoroughly digested before it has tim
to ferment and irritate the delicate mn
cous surfaces of the stomach. To sc
cure a prompt and healthy digestiO
is the one necessary thing to DO an
when normal digestion is secured tn
catarrhal condition will have disap

According to DR.. HarlansCn the SAT
est and best treatment is to use afte

THE w ATER SYSTEM.

The attention OF the city council is
called to the urgent necessity Of imme.
date action in the matter OF water
supp,v. Various methods have been
gu ggested along this line. among which
il tie eaIe of system to a private cor
poration. To this the HERALD is unal-
t.rably opposed. II the city OF Aberdeen
is unable to properly manage business
that shows handsome profit annually,
it should disinco, porate and fam out its
entire government to a private corpora
ton.
The water system is, and always has
been paying proposition despite such
woeful Encouragement as would have
sent apv private concern into bankrupt
CIV long ago. The cry Of short water sup
DIV is not true. More water runs to
waste every year from the present source
of supply than would supply city three
ii mes the population Il Aberdeen. The
HERALD would suggest the following as
feasible method OF ms" ring a splendid
water service owned and controlled by
the city, which should furnish water to
consumers at % per cent less than the
present rates:
First-Coneerve the water now going
to waste by the building Of rese' voirs
on high ground between the water sup
ply and the low lands Of the city go thu t
the water now lost during eight months
OF the year may be for service in dry
weather.
Second-Install separate system for
South Aberdeen, and abandon the cost.
Dy attempt to pump water several miles
to a point that has already large home
supply.
Third-Install salt water fire system
for the business district This could be
located near cav mill, where the cost
of fuel would be nominal, the cost OF op.
Grafton light, and would guarantee
plentiful supply during serious fires.
Fourth-Place stand pipe in the hill
