BIG HARVEST
IS IN SIGHT
Condition Of Crops Indicate
1908 Will Eclipse Record
Breaking 1906

Always good. II not always bountifu',
Mother Earth promises such pro-
fusion of food products this year that
the American farmer will be in greater
need of labor than ever before. and.
II the currency law enacted at the last
session of Congress Is anything more
than a hollow mockery. every Idle en-
glne and every freight car standing on
a side track will be needed and will be
used to carry the harvest to market.
The promise now is for harvest
greater than the country has ever
known. The acreage is larger and the
condition Of the growing plants at the
beginning of this week was better than
Il was at the corresponding period OF
1906. II was away above the aver
age for the ten wears preceding this
one-a period that has been marked by
a succession of good crops. So good
have many Of the years IN that decade
been that the average is very high.
Now. 1906 was the greatest year the
Amexicaa farmer has ever known. The
yield in some parts OF the country was
so great that the farmers were able
not only 10 pay OIL tuVINbdbtot HNA ~
put money in the bank to be used in
buying automobiles. pianos and other
things of which their grandfathers had
never even dreamed.
Great as 1906 was. the promise in re-
spect to this harvest is even greater
There have been times when large
-oschss caused the farmers to groan, fol
the simple reason that large supply
meant ruinously low prices. But th'
spectre OF exceedingly low prices is moi
before the growers Of wheat, corn, oa.'
and barley this year. The harves
last year was not so bountiful and tn
surplus from the year before has aoou
disappeared.

Chanute, Kan, Dec. 21.-Oficial in

authorizing the rebuilding of So miles
OF track on the Pittsburg and Coffey-
vile branches. Permanent surveys of
the Improvement will be made immedi-
ately, the contract for the grading let
as soon as possible, and the work of
replacing the present steel with heavy
75-pound rails expedited, in order to
have the remodeled track completed in
time for the early spring rush. Topeka
officials acknowledged last summer.
during an inspection trip here. that the
Pittsburg branch was scheduled for ex-
tensive repairs which would prepare it
for the heavy coal and ore trains which
the opening of the Joplin branch would
defect over the track.
The Coffeyville branch which is 16
miles in length. will also be rebuilt,
and near Kalloch where the trouble
was experienced during the recent high
waters the grade will be raised to pre-
clude further waShoutS.
The Pittsburg branch handles more
tonnage for its length than any other
piece OF track on the Southern Kansas
division. and the announcement that it
is to be completely rebuilt will be well
come news to Chanute trainmen.

Scranton, Kan. Dec. 21.-The coal
miners strike which has been in
duration since election day shows
less signs of settlement than at any
time past. = ~ FL
The miners and mine owners each
have an association. the members of
which are heavily fined for any
violation of an agreement. so each
refuses to make any concessions from
principle and fear of a financial loss.
The dispute arises over the mean
ing of some clause in the contract and
the amount involved is trivial, but
each side insists its particular view
of the meaning is right and maintains
it's stand. All miners are out. and
the Thos. Chapelle and Griffith-Little
Mines are preparing to remove their
machinery while some miners are
leaving for other fields. each party
seeing no solution till new con-
tract is made in April, 1910. Mean
while the business men are suffering
heavy loss in trade during their best
season with no end in sight.

Common Sense
and a Tablet
Do Away With Dyspepsia, Stomach
Trouble and Make Meals
A Pleasure.

When your stomach goes on a strike
and mass meetings of indignation are
held all over your body, then it Is that
you should sit up and take notice.
1t is clearly and only a question of
common sense-is this thing called Dys-
pepsia. Take away, by abuse over eat
ing, excuses and high living, the things
which the stomach needs and you have
dyspepsia and indigestion; then other
maladies follow these-this is common
sense.
The stomach is willing enough but
you won't let it do it's work. You take
away the materials which are so neces-
sary for it to USE
Give back these materials and dys-
pepsia and indigestion flee and the
whole machinery of man begins slowly
to move and do its work.
What the stomach needs is nerve
force, fluids for it's digestive glands,
nourishment and power. All these ne
dyspepsia gives nothing to the blood,
the blood gives nothing to the stomach.
This is common sense also, pure,
simple and unalloyed.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are COM
mon sense pressed by high power into
tablets. In these tablets are powerful
essences which go into the stomach,
digest food, stop gas making, prevent
decaying of food, enrich the gastric
juices, are absorbed by the blood and
thus give it strength to furnish a bet
ter fluid for digesting the next meal.
Every physician knows what comprises
these tablets; every druggist has the
same knowledge also. They are natural
common sense digesters which do the
work for the stomach quickly and well.
Every drug store carries them, Soc per
package. Send US your name and ad-
dress and we will send you a trial pack
