TURKEYS WILL
COME HIGH

The proud, strutting turkey COB,
bier, and even the more modest tur-
key hen, will be a Christmas neces-
sity of much value this year. Any
old turkey is demanding 80 cents per
pound for his scalp, and, from the
present indications, It Is predicted
that they will call for still higher
price before the last fatal day, Fri
day, arrives.
The Thanksgiving holidays prac-
tically consumed all the most avail
able turkeys, although there are yet
many of them alive In this vicinity.
The farmers and other people who
make a business of raising turkeys
are not anxious to dispose of their
stock of fowls, and the local markets
are negotiating with farmers in the
outlying districts for turkeys.
Thanksgiving turkeys demanded rs
cents per pound, or FIVE cents lower
than the present market quotations.
Geese and ducks seem to be the pop
ular fowl for Christmas feasts, and
Salem dealers in poultry are dispos-
ing of many of them. Geese sell for
20 cents, while chickens are quoted
at 25 cents. Ducks are on a par
with geese.
Up to the present time the demand
for turkeys and other Christmas
dinner eatables, in the way of fowl,
has not been very persistent, and
the general concensus of opinion Is
that the Salem public will adopt the
old-style of Checker" pie, rather
than invest in the dear old turkeys.
In any event the local Christmas
enthusiasts are making grand prep
eration for for ceIebratins the Yuletide
event, and there will be many mouth
watering repasts served, both In the
homes of the rich and the poor.

THE INDIGESTION OF
GROWING CHILDREN
Weak, Sickly and Emancipateu
Boys and Girls Usually Victims
Of Chronic Dyspepsia.

During the developmental, or
growing period of life, the stomach
is under greater strain than in any
other epoch, for the reason that
bodily growth is rapid In children,
and the system requires "a consider
able amount of material to construct
new tissue-a much greater amount
than after full growth has been at
tanned.
In the adult, all that is required
is sufficient quantity of food to
rebuild the worn-out old tissues,
but in children, an extra amount of
well-digested nutritious food is nee
essary to build up strong muscle,
bone. cartilage, teeth, nerve, blood
and brain.
Well-fed children with strong di-
gestions, invariably grow to be
large, powerful, healthy men and
women, with sound minds and
sound bodies; while children who
are sickly, nervous, peevish, irrita-
BILE, and continually "tired-out," are
nearly always victims of indigestion,
and never attain their full growth,
or an average amount of strength,
unless the stomach weakness is
cured before reaching adult life.
During the adolescent, or forma-
tive period of life, parents should
make every effort to build up their
children, so that good health, a
strong constitution, and an abun-
dance of vim, vigor, vitality and
energy may be an inheritance in la
ter years. Too often the mistake
Is made of attempting to build up
the bodies of weak, sickly children
by dosing them with nerve and
blood tonics, or the emulsion OF cod
liver oil, which tend to upset the
stomach and thus make matters
worse
STUAhT'S DYSPEPSIA TABLETS
will build up and strengthen weak,
sickly, under-developed and slow
growing children, by digesting their
food thoroughly and assisting in its
absorption and assimilation. They
digest food of every kind very COM
pletely, including the vitalizing al.
bumen of eggs, the fbrin of meats,
the casein of milk and cheese, and
the carbohydrates of bread, rice, po-
tatoes, ETC., so that the system is
supplied with all the material which

II you desiNe to have your chill
dren grow up big, strong, healthy
and powerful in mind and body, see
that their digestion is kept strong
and efficient, and If found weak, give
them Stuart's Dyspepcia Tablets af-
ter each meal, in order that they
may get the full benefit of the food
they eat, and you will be rewarded
by seeing them attain a far better
than average development, and be-
sides you may be saved many a

HOW TO MIX
Directions to Prepare II Simple
Home Mixture.
Tells You How to Overcome Rhcu-
matism with Simple Recipe.

\ well known authority on rheu
matism gives the following valuable,
though simple and harmless. pre-
scription. which anyone can easily
prepare at home:
Fluid extract dandelion, one-half
ounce: compound largon. one ounce;
compound syrup sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Mix by shaking well in bottle
and take a teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
He states that the ingredients can
be obtained from any good prescrip-
ton pharmacy at small cost. and, be-
ing Of vegetable extraction, are
harmless TO take.
This pleasant mixture, If taken
regularly for a few days. is said to
overcome almost any case of rheu-
matism. The pain and swelling. if
any, diminishes with each dose. until
permanent results are obtained. and
without injuring the stomach. While
there are many so-called rheumatism
remedies, patent medicines etc,
some OF which do give relief, few
really give permanent results. and
the above Will. no doubt be greatly
appreciated by many sufferers here
at this time.
Inquiry at the drug stores of this
neighborhood elicits the information
thar these drugs are harmless and
can be bought separately, or the
druggists here will mix the pre-
scription for our readers if asked to.

AS TO ORIGIN OF THE SPOON.
Shells Probably First Used for Pur-
pose in Prehistoric Times.

The suggestion is offered by a cor
respondent that the domestic spoon
probably owes its origin to the shell.
Shells OF the mussel scallop, and oy-
ster, 1t is believed, were used in pre-
historic times as spoons and ladies',
the handle being formed OF piece
OF wood split at one end to hold the
shell firmly. Some savage nations
make similar spoons up to the present
day, and the old Highland custom Of
offering whisky in a shell has been
probably handed down from genera
ton to generation for untold ages.
Westman in his History Of the
Spoon" gives Roman specimens, which
are very simple in design-something
like silver caddy spoons-and are
much shorter in the handle than those
from Egypt. Those for common use
were generally made of bronze, iron
or brass. They clearly show how the
marine origin is also preserved in the
name Of spoon-cochleare-
from cochlea, shell or cookie. The
Celtic spoon also closely resembled
the shell in form, though made of
bronze. The horns of various animals,
such as the OK, bison and ram, were
often used as drinking cups, and as
the material was found suitable, it
was sometimes used with wood, ivory,
metal, etc.. for spoon making. Hence
the ancient expression: ITO spoil a
horn to make spoon"

"Our cases is similar. You see. it's

The other cowboys howled with de-
light. The humor of the situation
caught their fancy, and they yelled a
chorus of prctestation in Hoover's

but that if he forced the cowboys 10y

pating so greatly they would not be

Circus Daring Due to Heredlty.

and the circus restlessness have de-

Wants to Eumlaate a Cow,

Cincinnati-Dr. B. F. Lyle, physi
clan at the branch hospital, has an
nounced that he was open for sugges-
lions on how to fumigate a cow"
Robert Armstrong, living opposite
the pesthouse. claims that GONZALES
cling pesthouse patients swiped his
COW, and he won't take it back until
1t is fumigated. They offered him SO
cents rent for the cow but he spurned
it because he was afraid of that half
dollar.
Many methods of fumigation have
been suggested to DR.. Lyle, but each
has had it's own disadvantages. The
city service, to which the complaint
was made, left it to DR.. Lyle with
power to act, and he feels responsible
for the methods as we'll as the results.
