CONSUMPTION Few realize what a deep seated obstinate disease Catarrh is regarding it as a simple inflammation of the nose and throat little or no attention is given it But however insignificant it may seem at first it is 6erious and far reaching in its results The foul secretions entering the circulation poison the entire 6ystem The stomach kidneys in fact all the organs feel the effect of this catarrhal poison and when the lungs are reached its progress is rapid and destructive and finally ends in consumption It frequently happens that the senses of hearing and smell are in part or entirely lost the soft bones of the nose eaten into and destroyed causing intense suffering and greatly disfiguring the face While sprays washes and salves may give temporary relief no permanent benefit can be expected from such treatment CATARRH IS A CONSTITUTIONAL OR BLOOD DISEASE and far beyond the reach of mere local remedies Those who rely upon them for a cute lose valuable time meet with disap pointment and allow the disease to take firmer hold Only a real blood remedy can reach this troublesome and dangerous disease S S S cures Catarrh because it first cleanses and builds up the blood

MiiM rlnl II It Ik Ircn Wril nmt It Should not lie Permitted to Clone It In Itiipoi liitit to All The crop of sugar beets iu this vicin ity is in verygood condition tho recent ruins having given them n good start that promises a flue harvtst this fall In many of tho fields the work of culti vating has been completed and the leaves so cover the ground that not u weed can be seen providing there are any While there aro many farmers who devote a portion of their laud to this crop there are not enough raised and if Nebraska desires to retain her prestige as a sugar btt growing state it is nee essary that renewed interest be shown by the fanners and that the industry bo given u new impetus The factories have been improved far in advance of the production The Nor folk factory is now thoroughly equipped with all the best and most modern ma chinery and its capacity has been con stantly increased so thai it is now cap able of handling large quant ittes of raw material bu it is necessary that it be given the material required or not only will the improvements cease and the energies of tho sugar men bo directed to other localities butit is within thorange of possibilities that the factory will be closed down It is now asserted and undoubtedly true that the factory lit Grand Island will not be operated this year owing solely to tho fact that not enough beets have been raised to keep both plants bimy If under present conditions the company linds it convenient to close down one of the sugar factories it will bo only a question of time unless greater production can bo made until they can afford tocloso both institutions Already tho fact is apparent that the company is not paying as serious atten tion to tho Norfolk factory as formerly and men are being withdrawn to work in other territory Farmers have apparently hitherto engaged in producing beets with a fitls idea of earning capacity and t In case of tho work They have planted a pitoh one year and because it didnt prove as entirely satisfactory as they hail expected they refused to go into it it second time This sort of production not profitable either to the farmer or the factory people It is the steady and constant producer who wins It takes time to learn the best and surest methods of planting cultivating and Inrvesting and tho mnu who gives the time will be the one to win Diversified farming has ever been recommended as of tho greatest impor tance to agriculturalists and the beet industry his opened a now and pioflt able field for diversification tliit should not be ignored The farmer who will devote one to tan acres to the crop has n means of resource not to bo despised and in time he will come out ahead of tho oue who devotes his entire energie to raising corn or cattle or small grain The manufacturers are showing their ability to get along without the aid ot the farmer They can direct their ener gies to other fields or other lines of work with equal profit But the question is can the farmers nnd the community afford to ignore the industry It is nono too early to begin thinking of next years campaign This years work is practically settled and no changes are likely but with somo effort it may bo possible to give the industry next year the status it deserves There has been an opinion umong the farmers that they have not been fairly treated by the factory people Whether they have good and sufficient grounds for the complaint is not known This much is known That ordinarily n farmer or laborer is rlways given the benefit of the doubt when there arises any differences between them and n corporation and they aro accustomed to demanding and expecting more from such a company than they would from an individual Undoubtedly many farmers have been influenced not by per sonal ill treatment but by the thought that a neighbor or friend had not been granted justice It is well to nualyze these complaints and find out tho truth If a producer has been robbed by a conipnny Tub Niws would not urge friendly relations but if on the other hand it should be disclosed that ho has been treated with fairness and consider ation the truth should be made known The sugar
