AnpIes Good for Insomnia.

Apples are useful in nervous dyspep-
sia; they are nutritious, medicinal, and
vitalizing; they aid digestion, clear
the voice, correct the acidity Of the
stomach, and are valuable in rheuma-
tism, insomnia, and liver troubles. An
apple contains as much nutriment as
a potato in a pleasanter and more
wholesome form.

Each Of these has a story. The
clerk began his collection with piece
of lath. This was honored by a bank
for $3.50. 1t was made into a check
by the owner of a sawmill, who, with
his son, was at the plant with no check
book. The money was needed to pay
the hands. The sawmill man wrote
on the lath just what a check correctly
drawn would bear and sent his son to
the bank to get the money and ex-
plain. The lath check was honored
after some discussion among the bank
officers.

Portable for some of the big packing
plants that have corralled the market
in the way of canned goods. According
to dispatches from Washington, the
first move will be to investigate why
canned tomatoes are SO high, especially
as the output this year is several mil
lion pounds more than last year. The
housekeeper is evidently aware that the
canned tomato she was buying one year
ago for ten cents will now cost her 20
cents and the can that cost Is cents
about this time last year is passed over
the country for 25 cents. And all this
Notwithstanding the enormous output of
tomatoes in every. part of the country
excepting this northwest. Retailers say
it is not their fault, as the cans that
were sold one year ago at 80 cents
dozen are now quoted at $1.90 and those
wholesaled year ago at $1.30 dozen
are now offered at 1920. Hence if Mr..
Hoover, who trod the streets of Salem
about generation ago, will make it
uncomfortable for the big packing
plants that have brought the entire Cal
ifornia output of tomatoes, he will re-
ceive the thanks of this part of the
universe. According to reports, the big
packing houses have the tomatoes and
are going to make the people pay war
time prices, unless something happens
to cause a sudden repentance.
