CROP OUTLOOK VERY BRIGHT
Large and Small Grain in Better Con
dition Than Expected
Crops all save fruit are reported to
ae in much better condition In those
portions of Nebraska and Kansas tra
versed by the B M than might be
expected after the excessive rains and
floods Reports to General Manager

wheat oats alfalfa potatoes but dis
couraging for fruit In the lowlands
I of course much damage has been done
i to grain and hay but on the uplands
j everything is said to be in fine shape
Stock and ranges are reported to be
doing well On the whole little en
couragement is given to the pessimist

failure as a result of the unusually wet
weather
j The reports say that at points along
I the B M west of Red Cloud Hast
j ings and Grand Island the rain was not
excessive except over a small area in

ings and Denver and on the Cheyenne
line the rainfall was ample but not
excessive West of Grand Island on
tne northwest division the same condi
tions prevail The rain along these
lines is said to have been quite suffi
cient to keep vegetation growing but
no so great as to damage or delay
corn planting

as a rule the doctor is called in some
times several doctors but still matters
go from bad to worse but I have
never known of a cate of female weak

Lydia E Pinkliams Vegetable
Compound was nsed faithfully For
young women who are subject to
headaches backache irregular or pain
ful periods and nervous attacks due to
the severe strain on the system by
some organic trouble and for women
of advanced years in the most tr3ing
time of life it serves to correct every
trouble and restore a healthy action of
all organs of the body
Lydia EPinkhams Vegetable

Heavy Drinking in Germany
Germany has an association for
combatting the use of spirituous li
quors and afits recent meeting held
at Breslau it was declared that the
empire spends 750000000 annually
on spirits wine and beer amounting
to about 1250 a head of the popula
tion Germany seems tardily waking
up to the knowledge that its people
drink more than is good for them and
that the practice is prejudicial to the
countrys prosperity It increases
crime and lunacy and poverty dimin
ishes the efficiency of workmen and
is in all ways injurious An abstinent
Fatherland in view of its historical
practices would be a curiosity but
over the waste of beer deluges old as
the Baltic pretty nearly the dove of
reform may be winging in which case
it is an undoubted pioneer

yielded at a pressure of thirty two
pounds to sixty five pounds per square

THE REAL CRANK
Fs Plainly Marked
A crank is one who stays in beaten
paths when common sense tells him
to leave
The real crank is one who persists
in using coffee because accustomed to
and yet knows it hurts him It is this
one who always pays the penalty
while the sensible person who gives
up coffee and takes on Postum Food
Coffee in its place enjoys all the bene
fits of returning health
A well known manufacturers agent
of New York City visited the grocery
department of one of the big New
York stores not long ago and there he
tasted a sample cup of Postum made
the right way He said afterwards
Just through the energy of that young
woman who was serving Postum there
I became a convert to the food drink
and gave up the drug drink coffee and
got well
I had used coffee to excess and was
gradually becoming a complete wreck
getting weaker and more nervous
every day I paji the penalty for us
ing coffee and when I tasted the deli
cious Postum I was glad indeed to
make the change
So I gave up the coffee altogether
and have used Postum instead ever
since My family at first called me a
crank but seeing how Postum bene
fited me the first month they all got
in line and as a result -of Postums re
markable benefits to me we all drink
it now entirely in place of coffee and
we are well Name given bv Postum
