Even in the present era of prosperity
and good times everything appears
black to those people who are suffering
wretchedly from some form of indi-
gestion. Where digestion is quick,
complete and easy there is a joyous
and hopeful outlook, but indigestion
causes depression.
The want of safe, effective cure
for sick headache, indigestion and
stomach troubles, was always felt until
the prescription known as Mi-o-na
stomach tablets was put up in popular
form and proved its invariable success
in the many forms of indigestion.

IT is SERIOUS.
Some AmeriCuS People Fail TO Realize
the Seriousness.

The constant aching of a bad back,
The weariness, the tired feeling,
The pains and aches of kidney ills
Are serious-if neglected.

An Americus citizen shows you how
to avoid them.

my back troubled me for years. Some

to stand up straight. There was con-

night and the secretions were out of or

I had tried many different kinds of
medicine when first got Doan's Kid

They did lust what is claimed for them
in my case, and [ am glad to recon-
mend them to others. The pains have
left me, my back is stronger and as

AS will be seen from its advertise

decided to have one or more days for

the faculty OF the agricultural college

Looking into the future we see
5000 additional acres of semi-arid land
adjacent to Canon City brought under
subjugation by the magic touch of
water and made to blossom as tn.
rose Some day, in the not remote
future, it will be planted to fruit and
will be as prodigal in its yield of the
treasures of Pomona as are the ranch
es and gardens of Lincoln Park and
Fruitmere. The high price of land
here and the fact that by intensive
cultivation of the soil four acres can
be made TO support in comfort
family of FIVE persons argues that this
reclaimed land will be cut up into
small tracts of about four acres each.
This means 1000 more ranches, and,
computing five persons to the family,
which is the rule usually adopted, a
fruit growing population of 10000. 1t
also means that the income from the
product of our orchards will at least
be multiplied by three. or something
like s1,52O,O00 year"

the United States in fact, is the cod

The science of tree grating is be-
coming every year a greater aid 10
the horticulturalist, and within a com
paratively short period the orchardist
will have evolved a sort of composite
tree that will enable him to graft the
root of the frmest set and longest
liver variety of tree to the tree havSug
the best and strongest trunk. on which
will be grated the top of the variety
producing the best and most market
able fruit In this way We will be
able to get a perfectly symetrical tree,
one that combines long life with great
vigor and the best fruitage."

he was finally made to comprehend
that the laws of the state did not allow
any divorced person to marry until a
year had elapsed from the time the
decree of divorce was rendered. he
seemed very much disappointed, but
endeavored to convince Mr.. Champion

however were obdurate and refused to
be convinced unless he brought the
spection. He said that all arrange

and that it would be most unfortunate
for him if it had to be delayed. Being
assured that he would have to bring
the divorce to the office he reluctantly
left for home, promising to come back

PEACH BUDS THUS FAR
UNINJUURED BY THE FROST

Thurston White, fruit inspector for
Fremont county, says that the peach
buds are thus far uninjured and that
the indications are favorable for a
good crop of that class of fruit in the
Canon City district next summer.
Both trees and buds are in healthy
condition, according to Mr.. White, and
he expects a good yield, even in un-
protected orchards, unless damaged
by the spring frosts. Some of the
largest peach growers on Lincoln
Park did not bury their trees until
last week, leaving them uusheltered
up to that time.

a week, or during the continuance of
the course.
The legislature now in session will
probably require that these short
courses" be given by the agricultural
college throughout the state as often
as can be done without interfering
with the efficiency of its work at Fort
Collins. A few months ago a week. s
instruction in scientific horticulture
was given by the agricultural college
at Delta and proved very interesting
and helpful.

work OF securing a short course" for
the fruit growers of the Canon City
district is hopeful of success, in fact
the encouragement already received is
a guarantee that its ambition will be
realized.
At Saturdays meeting fifty subscrib-
ers to the course at two dollars apiece
were obtained, and 1t is expected that
one hundred and fifty additional sub
scribers at a similar fee will be Sc
cured before the committee finishes
its work.
The committee is desirous of having
the course here the first week in jan
uary. 1905, or soon thereafter as pos
sible. The date, however, will be de-
termined by the faculty of the agri-
cultural college.
