Beware Fa tIgue.

Fatigue or a tired feeling, (when
it is not hereditary or constitutional)
should not be treated, especially in
time Of epidemic, as a light matter.
People often say 81 feel perfectly

kindred remarks, which are eyiden-
ces that they are not perfectly well.
What you need when in that condi-
tion is rest, care and possibly medi-
cal treatment. Try resting first aud
set your mind free from worries and
restraints; with rest take nourish
ing food; do not exact Of yourself
work that you do not feel able to do
and when you feel SO tired you be.

so, even if it is in the middle oi

DR., HAM, of New York City, will
make his next visit 10 Mineral Point,
Thursday, April 23. DR.. Ham is no
stranger in this community. He
makes regular visits here, aud his
patients are ready to bear witness to
the efficacy of his treatment and the
permanency of his cures, even IN
those cases other physicians pro-
nounce incurable. This fact alone
ought % convince the most skeptl-
cal. Those from year to year who
have been putting off the treatment
which they need, should no longer
doubt the evidence Of their own
senses. "Success is the best OF
merit" and DR.. Hams success is as
remarkable az it is substantial. lbs
reputation rests upon the solid basis
of work done and os value rendered
for every dollar of fees he has col
leeted DR.. Ham is no tramp dotcor,
with no home, no place of business,
no credit, no responsibility, who fits
from city TO city, protesting to raise

visits to those communities where
his patients are most numerous, and
for the benifit Of those who cannot
make it convenient TO visit him at
his home office. Those VINO con.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $50 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of TehaH.a County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment- This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $40 to SEQ per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 12o, 16o and $40 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
nent of interest only tor three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first of five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part of the prin-
cipal is TO be paid for three years and then
the purchaser is TO have five years in which TO
pay five equal annual installments, with in
teveSt at the rate of per cent. per annum
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers ore as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at sic per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.
with other grades of land at prices to CORE
spon6 between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peciaily adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
uad in California for less than from $50 tc
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject OF this advertisement wiz prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $50
an acre and for qualities grading down TO fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre. on terms of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body of land was the breaking up Of a large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement ia smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
