Killed a coIt.
The puma is so fond of horsefesh
that in Patagonia it is difficult to
breed horses. as the colts are killed by
author of THE Naturalist In La
Plata" that on one occasion while
driving his horses home through a
thicket Il puma sprang out of the
bushes to the back Of colt following
behind the troop.
The puma alighted directly on the
colts back. with one fore foot grasping
its shoulder, while with the other II

wrench, dislocated the neck. The colt
fell to the earth as If shot.
Next to horsedesh, the puma prefers
mutton. He does not like veal, al
though he will kill a calf upon occa-
sion. A cunning puma which on cloudy
nights raided a sheep ranch used as
place of concealment the pen where a
dozen calves were kept while it was
waiting TO attack the sheep, but it did
not injure a calf

VelIe Buys Five Acre Tract.-Pur-
land on the river front east of and adj
joining the IL acre tract owned by the
C. H. Deere estate has been effected
by w. L. Vehe through his agents.
The ground in question is bought
from G. r. Stephens and the purchase
price is understood to approximate
$4,000. Mr.. Velie is at the present
time in Fort Myers, Fla, with his fam
lily, and the use to which he will put
this ground cannot be learned. There
are several rumors of plans for imme-
date use of the tract, but none of them
has been substantiated. There has
been a runIor that Mr.. Velie IS con-
templating erection of an auxiliary
plant to his automobile factory, in
which will be manufactured motor car
parts now purchased. The rumor,
generally, is not credited. Deere &
Co. recently purchased the athletic
field site-a tract of nine acres on the
river front, beginning at Twenty
seventh street. East of and adjoining
this tract is the IL acre tract held by
lue bSCIO SoIdIS ne SIOuAU just
purchased by Mr.. Velie is to the east
of the IL acre tract. This gives nearly
&c acres of land-all in one piece
that is held by Deere & Co, the Deere
estate and Mr.. Velie, all closely allied.
Though Deere & Co. officials deny that
they had knowledge of the transfer
of the property, it is the generally ac-
cepted belief that the entire tract will
be utilized to- the best interests of the
allied concerns when expansion be-
comes necessary.

APPENDICITIS
How to Avoid 1t and Escape a
Surgical Operation, Told by
One Who Knows

clOus-Trial Package Free

A simple Method That is Always EfFicE-
ciOUs-Trial Package Free
1t has been only few years since
II was discovered that a surgical op-
GRAFTON would cure appendicitis; in
fact, II has been but a short time since
the disease was discovered and named.
Whenever there is an infamed con-
dition of the appendix, caused by inn
pacted faces in the small cavity open
ing into the intestine. you then have
appendicitis.
The older doctors used to call this
Inflammation of the bowels and were
puzzled to know the cause.
Even now, with all the knowledge
we have Of the disease. no medical
man can tell you why we should have
an appendix, why we find it where it
IS, or what are its functions, if it has
any
The disease for which the operation
Is a cure is usually caused by indises-
tion, and in many cases follows a large
and indigestiple meal.
Physicians have until recently rec
commended an operation but now, as II
is known that 1t is caused by indiges-
tion or dyspepsia, cure without an
operation is assured.
Where the patient is treated with
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the un-
healthy conditions prevailing rapidly
disappear. the stomach and intestines
are placed back in their normal con-
dition every organ of the body op-
crates as it should, and the inflamma- =
tion is reduced and the operation is
avoided.
Conscientious physicians who are
looking after the best interests of their
patients, will always keep a supply of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets handy in
their office, where in cases of sudden
attacks of Indigestion they can re-
lieve the patient at once.
There is no record of a case of ap-
pendicitis where the stomach and bow
els were in a healthy condition and
properly digested the food from meal
to meal.
No better advice can be given to
anyone who has attacks OF indigestion,
or who has been threatened with ap-
pendicitis, than to tell him to go to
the drug store pay so cents and take
home a package Of Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets.
Whenever heartburn, gas in stomach
or bowels, heart disease or stomach
troubles, sour quotations, acidity or
fermentation are present act at once.
Take a dose of the Tablets and get re-
lief as soon Us possible.
