Take Plenty of Time to Eat.

There is a saying that rapid
eating is slow suicide" If you
have formed the habit of eating
too rapidly on are most likely
suffering from indigestion or con-
stipation, which will result event
ually serious illness corrected.
Digestion begins in the mouth.
Food should be thoroughly masti-
Gated and insalivated. Then when
you have a fullness of the stomach
or feel dull and stupid after eat
ing, take one of Chamberlain s
Tablets. Many severe cases OF
stomach trouble and constipation
have been cured by the use OF
these tablets. They are easy TO
take and most agreeable in effect.
Sold by all dealers.

THE SLAUGHTERING OF

The Grand Cane Item calls at
tention to the appalling increase
in the slaughter of young cattle,
and very rightly Fges the far
mers to pay more attention to the
raising of cattle and all kinds OF
stock. The Item says:
At the rate at which young eat
tie are being slaughtered for the
market the time is not far distant
with it will be almost impossible
to find commercial cattle to sup
ply the public demand in this
country. Even now the prices
are becoming almost prohibitive
to the poorer classes of people,
and something will have to be
done to supply the deficit and
lower the high prices of meat in
all markets.

more attention to poultry and

let the crusader give his own argument
1T is a we'll known fact i'm biology"

The yeast cell being the lowest organ

and a peculiarly deadly one to all forms

of the estimated value of the land A
government expert may estimate that
tract of 100 acres contains coal deposits
worth upward of $1,000 O00-and in the
face of this expert decision. Uncle Sam
will sell that tract for 500 an acre, Or
an entire tract for $4,000
This seems like pretty poor business.
Usually, indeed, it is. In a big ma
jority of cases the investor of a few
hundreds gets millions back. But not
always Uncle Sam in fixing his prices
takes care to remember that the values
reported by his prospectors are only ''es-
timated." None of the property has ever
been actually worked and all the indi-
cations of mineral richness, however
striking, may prove false alarms. So.
while the man who accepts the estimates
and buys government land may be able
to figure his returns at the rate of 10000
per cent, he may get no returns at all.
