An Indigestion
Remedy Free

Many people who are otherwise
healthy suffer from indigestion, or
dyspepsia. When you consider that
the stomach and allied digestive or
gans are the most important organs
of the body, it would seem that dis
order there is to be taken very SER
iously.
Dyspeptics cannot eat the things they
like; food sours in the stomach; then
chronic constipation begins, or, as Is often
the case, you have been constipated all
along, and the stools are forced and
Irregular.
But there is no use letting indigestion
go until 1t becomes chronic and under
mines your health. 1t is good advice TO
suggest to you that you go TO your drug
gist and get a bottle of DIR. Caldwell 8
Syrup Pepsin, the wonderful cure for
stomach, liver and bowel troubles. That
is what G. Fowler, of Carson City, Mich,
did and he is well today Others who did
the same and are cured are Ida A For
tune, OF Grand Junction, Tenn, B. +.
Thompson, of Shenandoah, Ia, who ac-
tually considers that IL saved his life.
You can obtain 50-cent or 81 bottle OF
the druggist, and, taken according TO d.
rections, Ii will probably be all you need
II Is a liquid, acts gently, never gripes,
and besides the laxative effect, contains
exceptional tonic properties which tone
the stomach, and that is what is es-
pecially needed in Indigestion.
All sufferers from indigestion who have
never used DR.. Caldwers Syrup Pepsin
can obtain a free test bottle by writing
the doctor. IL will be sent direct to your
home without any charge. In this way
thousands have proven to their own sat-
isfaction DR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin Is
the very remedy they needed to cure in-
digestion. When once you use this grand
remedy you will throw violent cathartics,
tablets salts, etc. away

Money in Farming.

There is more money in farming
than in any ether business on earth
when properly managed. It's true few
will agree With me III this opinion. but
it is a fact.
We propose to prove this by com
parISOn: "A starts to merchandising
with a capital of $4,000. He invests
$1,000 Of it in good, Salable stock. and
h other~S3,e00 in dead, or non-sala-
bic stock which yields no profit and
makes a failure in his business which
he cannot avoid, with his money so
invested. After his failure he COM
plains that there is no money in the
mercantile business.
e 3 goes into the manufacturing
business, instal.s q spinning plant of
200 spindles and operates only SO Of
them. and he makes a failure. Even
the rural school boys would be able to
see that no sane man would a ex-
pected anything else.
| know many men WHO have hun
dreds Of acres of land and cultivate
only 25 or so acres and always COM
planning their land is not
akln them rich: when in reality if
they had only half their land in as
paying cultivation as they have this
~25 or so acres it would make them
rich.
Idleness is cur bane. Idle money.
idle men or idle land canno serve the
great p for which hey We're
created While they remain idle.
Now, brother farmers. let us all
see to it that at least one half of our
land is put to work, either by it's own
er, a tenant. or sell to some one who
will out it to work. Who will cult
vate This idle land, do you ask Clear
:. up and build comfortable houses on
it and let the world know it, HI1d you
will find the meen. And il you are not
able to make these improvements, sell
to some one who is. and thus secure
the interest on otherwise idle lan1.
Think over this, brother farmer

THE DUTY Of FARMERS UNION
The Tobacco Trust, The Guano Trusts and Other
Trusts Robbing The Farmers.
(Danbury Reporter.)

III 1IIuSe. 1kolle -
AS there is much being said and
done at this age in the way of or
ganlzatlOn, L am proud to know the
Farmers Educational and Co-opera-
tive Union of America is surprising
anything the farmers have before un-
dertaken for self ~DrOtectin. 1t has
spread Ill wild fire in North Carolina
Thugh not yet one year old, there are
now six hundred local unions in North
Carolina.
The national bylaws and constitu-
ton of the Union is built on business
principles and any one living uD to-
them will more than aD be a better
man than he has been. Some are not
trying to live up to them and some
may have creDt in to do all the dirt
they can. and viii have to be expelled.
My advice to members is not to talk
union or anything pertaining to it to
any one who is inclined to oppose US.
Be prudent and forget not to always
be careful what you speak, and where
you speak,.
This is q business proposition and
if anyone has come into our ranks
that cannot keep his own or u OWn
business to himself he had better at
once be expelled. This. like all other

while all other classes ave been rep

It is not necessary for the United

Planting Raspberry Bushes.

On account of their starting to grow
early in the spring, it is quite an item
to take the first favorable opportunity
in the spring for setting out rasp-
berry plants. It is also important to
have the soil in good filth, and the
rows marked out six feet apart, so as
to have plenty of room for the neces-
sary cultivation. Set the hills three
feet apart. In nearly every case bet
ter results will be secured by putting
two or. three good plants in the hill.
In setting cut make the places suffi-
|ciently large TO spread Il roots even
~ and pile the soil we'll about theem,
as it is essential hat the soil n
roots come into close contact. Unless
the soil is unusually dry, watering will
hardly be necessary. Sufficient cu1-
tisation should be given TO keep the
soil in good condition and the weeds
down.
