Indige'lioii is the direct cause of
ill-ease that kills Ihoiitauds of puisous
aiinuillv. Stop the trouble at tho out
set wtih a little Prickly Ash Bitters;
it slieugllieiis the stomach and '.mis
digoiion. SjM by C. L. Cutting.
Many so-called "bitters" are not
nii'ilieines, but. simply liquors dis
guised, so as to evade the law. Prickly
Ash Bitters is not one of this class. It
is strictly a medicine, acting primarily
on the kidneys, liver and bowels, and
for the dangerous diseases that attack
these organs it is a remedy of the first
grade. There is nothing objuctionablo
in its taste, it has a very agreeable
11 ivor, and is acceptable to the most
delicate stomach. Sold by C. L Cot
ting. The stale weather bureau in its re
port for last week says "Tho past
week has been warm and wet, with
more thai normal amount of cloudi
ness. The daily mean tomperaturefor
tho week averaged 5 degrees abovo the
normal in tho eastern and 3 degrees in
tho western counties. Tho minimum
temperatures for tho weok wero below
freezing in tho northern and western
counties on the morning of tho 18th.
The maximum temperatures occurred
on the last days of tho week, and gen
erally wero bofveen 75 degrees and 80
degrees. Rain fell quite generally on
tho first and last days of tho weok,
making a total for tho weok abovo nor
mal in all counties. Tho heavy rains
caused tho ground to bo too wet for
farm work tho llrst half of tho weok.
During the remaining days rapid pro
gross was made in preparing the corn
ground for planting, and a little corn
was planted iu southern counties. The
warm rain was very benclicial to all
grain. Oats and spring wheat are com
ing up evenly atid growing rapidly.
Winter wheat hns improved in condi
