The heavy rains of the last of

the corn crop of Thomas Stokes,
which was planted just north of

this he would have, realized a

land further north had a heavy
crop, and the fact that his seed
corn was drowned out is re
sponsible for his nol securing as
' good a crop as his neighbors,

caught in this manner again.
There, should be some form of
permanent ditches made to pro

very valuable, in order that those
who have., started to farm there
can have an assurance of not

says:
"Almost all my
life I have been
troubled with constipation, and hava
tried many remedW's, all f which
eemed ta cause pain without giving
much relief. I finally tried Dr. Miles'
Laxative Tablets and found them ex
cellent. Their action Is pleasnnt an
mild, and their chocolate taste make
them easy to take. I am more than
Had to recommend them." .
"Clean up the bowels and keep
them clean," is the advice of all
physicians, because they realize the
danger resulting from habitual con
stipation. Do not delay too Iongr.
but begin proper curative measures.
Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets area
