FARMING
THe Basic Industry!
The business of farming ft the
basic industry upon which all of
the industries of the world de
pend. Of course, even the very
life of the people of the world de
pends upon the production of
food.
When the farmer raises no
crops, the banks of the country
have no money, the merchant's
business is poor, the manufac
turer has little demand for his
goods and the whole world is
topsy-turvey.
Farming is the greatest busi
ness in the world. This bank
lends every encouragement pos
sible to farmers. It appreciates
that its prosperity depends upon
the prosperity of the farmer.

HOW TO IMPROVE Y0TJB HEALTH
At the Dentists Convention held
in the last days of January in Chi
cago, one of the foremost Bpeakers
said: "If you would like to improve
your health, try eating with delibera
.ion." And he enumerated many
ohysical ills that the "quick lunch"
labitue suffers. But this bad habit
3f devouring food without mastica
lion cannot be easily removed, and
:herefore we must reckon with it
ind look for a sure corrective. Trin
ar's Bitter Wine is the remedy. It
lids digestion and cleans out the
jowels. Everybody who has tried it
?nce is satisfied. So wrote us Mr.
Fermino Lopes from N. Bedford,
Mass.: "I have tested Triner's Bit
ter Wine and must sa' that it help
ed me remarkably." Your druggist
or dealer in medicines will confirm
you that the renown of all Triner's
remedies is peerless. Triner's Lini
ment, Triner's Cough Sedative, etc.,
are all excellent remedies. Joseph
Triner Company, 1333-45 S. Ashland
Ave., Chicago, 111.

has brought many a Bhlver to the
householder and caused a hurry-up
call on the stoves and furnaces.
Last evening the first lightning

corded and every indication is that
the real cold weather has gone for
this season, although there will prob
ably be several snappy days before
real springtime.
