Denver Republican says: Owing to
the continued high price Of lambs in
Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon and New
Mexico. it is claimed, few sheep and
lambs can be fed in Weld county this
season. Cattle will be fattened at the
Windsor. Eaton and Greeley sugar fac
tory yards and probably 10000 will
be prepared for market. Feeders say
that stockmen are asking prices for
sheep and lambs that would have been
considered preposterous year ago. 1t
is said that it would be easy to sell
every pound of wool sheared next
spring at the present time. but no dis
position is being shown by the stock
men to enter into contracts. The scar
city of hay also is another factor pro-
hibiting the feeding of sheep here and
shipments of mutton will probably fall
far short of those made in previous
years.

What u Means 70 tho individual and
to the Race.
Private hygiene is important and
means a revolution In our habits Of
living. 1t means fresh air perpetually
flowing through our houses and more
OF our lives spent outdoors. 1t means
common sense in diet-the avoidance
of boiling food. from which dyspepsia
springs. and the re-education Of nor
NAL food instincts, the avoidance of
gluttony on the one side and body star
walton on the other the avoidance OF
alcohol, the most potent Of the pre-
disposing causes Of tuberculosis, and
the avoidance Of dirty. infected milk
and meat. 1t means the simple life"
free from overexertion on the one
hand and Incidence on the other. the
habit of normal sleep and the eman-
cipation from worry.

CATARRH DESTROYED
MY APPETITE.

DERUNA rarely fails to restore the

testimony, coming from all parts of the
civilized world.
Catarrh is q very frequent cause Of
loss of appetite and disturbed digestion.
The beneficial influence of Peruna on
catarrh completely restores the appe-

To prod the digestive organs with
medicines that are merely stimulants is
poor way to remedy such cases.
