FORERUNNER OF
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

Norfolk Should Encourage
Sugar Beet Growing
ADVANTAGES NOT APPRECIATED
Tlir Im tor mm Hiitullo iiii AImiihIiiim of
Hum 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 industry in Norfolk should
not be allowed to go by default
