No mia can be strong who is suffering from weak ttomach with its consequent indigestion, or from some other disease of the stomach and its associated organs, which im pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition contained in food, which is the source of all physical strength. When a man "doesn't feel just right," when he doesn't sleep well, has an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach alter eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond eat, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength.

President Taft seems to think the farmers of the Vnlted States arc not worthy of any consideration. If reci procity with Canada Is good for all concerned why do they not have all other things duty free?

It Is the tanner who has to suffer tho loss all around. Hay, oats, grain, etc. The oat and rMy market Is now on a de cline with the Increased use of tho automobile. Auto trucks are fast sup erceding the horse drays. Then, doe Mr. Taft think that farmers In the I'nlted States can compete with Can ada In the dairy Industry? They have cheap feed, and labor too, there. Here It Is different. Here the people have high wages, high taxes, and when a farmer has to cultivate crops ior nr age for his cows he simply cannot do It and come out even. If Canada can flood our markets with IS cent butter It means this, that fully one-half of Clackamas county dairymen will have to quit business. Creameries too. Having been dairying 25 years, can speak with some knowledge on this matter. Farmers are not to blame for the "high cost of living- any more than any other one set of Individuals are.

Hut chief among (he expressions was this: "Tho com pany can do nothing that will win for It more popularity than to doublo track Its Irtie to portlniiu nnd put on an express train run between tho two cities. "If the rmnpaliy would do that," tnld the elllten quoted, "It would bo possible for the express run to make the distance In 30 mliiules. Only two stops, at MlUauklti and Gladstone, would be made necossnry, and surh a run would please present residents nnd bring many people from Portland.
