number of homes at once at consid-
erably reduced costs
Every community should have some
practical plan Of its own for home
building and there is but one that |
am able to recommend for Pendleton
at this time. That is the building
loan plan.
The Oregon building Loan Associa-
tion Of Pendleton was organized 2S
years ago and has been operated sue
eessfully in a limited way, ever
since.
If a man owns lot or has money
enough to buy one, he can borrow
money from the oregon Building
Loan Association to build home and
to pay for it, if he will subscribe fo-
one share Of stock for every 500 he
horrows and on this stock ne will pay
56 1-2 cents per month, also the in
terest on the money borrowed max
ing the total a month SI.3g l-2c on
each 500 borrowed and when the
money paid in dues added to the am
cunt II has earned amounts to 500
the loan is paid and the home is his.
There may he some objection to
the high rate Of interest in connection
with the Building Loan plan. but after
the home is paid for savings can be
invested in investment stocks which
will yield good profits and would
compensate for the high rate paid
during the life of the loan.
In addition to the loan feature q
the Oregon Building and Loan there
is series Of investment stock. It
costs 65 cents a month to carry one
share Of this investment stock which
when matured will bring 800 in cash.

What Gan l Do For
 Nervous Indigestion :?

When your nerves go wrong they always seem to strike at your weakest spot, When this spot happens to be the stomach, nervous dyspepsia often results appetite vanishes and gives way to dull, dread, uneasiness and hollow, gnawing feeling that keeps I'D until every nerve in the body seems on edge. The food you force down won't digest properly, and you're all in--down and out for one day at least so far as being really useful to yourself or anyone else is concerned.
 It is the height of folly to attempt to force the digestion of food with some pepsin pill when it's the stomach nerves that are in need of treatment.
 If your nerves have reached the point where your daily diet no longer furnishes the necessary vitality if the ravages of overwork, worry or illness have left you irrita ble, weak and nervous-if your sleep is dis turbed, your digestion upset-you may do we'll to consider whether the scien- tific elements of Margo Nerve Tablets will show you the way back to health ful activity.
 If yours is a case of nervous dys- pepsia where the stomach needs strengthening and the nerve cells should be charged with poise, power and reserve energy, just try taking Margo Nerve Ia blets for a short time and see the results. The Clark & Brainerd Co.,. New Britain, and other good druggists sell Margo Nerve Tab lets with an absolute guarantee that you get your money back if they do not help your nerves to a satisfactory degree Satisfactory to YOU). Why go another day feeling as you do when you should have the good health and perfect enjoyment of life that is every mans right?

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question is asked every day. A cold is really fever, not always caused by the weather but often due to disordered blood or lack of important food-elements. In changing seasons fat-foods are essential because they distribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the system better able to withstand the varying elements. This is the important reason why Scott's Emulsion should always be taken for colds, and 1t does more builds strength to prevent sickness.
 Scott's Emulsion contains Natures rare strength building fats, so skillfully blended that the blood profits from every drop. It is free from harmful drugs or alcohol. Sold at drug stores always get the genuine.
