fact that the silver sentiment proved
strongest on November 81 in the West

SubSOiling vs.. Irrigation

In what little | may be able to say
on the above proposition | do not
wish TO be understood as claiming
that it will pay to SubSOil all kinds.Of
soils, or that SubSOiling is preferable
to irrigation under all conditions.
The statement | wish to make, and
believe to be true, is this, that in a
large part of Kansas there is annually
sufficient rain fall, if properly util-
lied, for the perfection of tree, and
all kinds of vegetable growth. If
this moisture can be held in the
Soil, instead of allowing it to run off
into the SlOughS, creeks, and rivers,
by a small amount of money by sub
soiling, as compared with an expen-
siye system of irrigation: why should
we irrigate? why not try subSoiling?
The expense aside from the labor en-
ployed in subsOiling is small.

Offensive
Catarph.

Catarrh is seemingly one of the
most complicated of ailments, and
one which the doctors are absolutely
unable to cure. The reasons for
this are easily explained. Catarrh is
a blood disease, and only a blood
remedy can effect it. The various
sprays, douches and washes which
are employed as a local treatment,
may, for time, alleviate the
trouble, but no one ever knew of
such treatment producing a cure.
They can not reach the seat of the dis
ease, as the experience of many
sufferers will prove; nothing can do
so except real blood remedy.
In the treatment of Catarrh, S. S.
S. has demonstrated the fact that it
reaches deep-seated diseases, which
other remedies can not touch.
Mr.. Chas. A. Parr, the leading wall
paper dealer, of Athens, Ga, writes:

case of catarrh. The many offensive

S. S. S. is the only blood remedy

they are all alike-contain the same

manner. But there is no substitute

ferent from every other blood remedy
offered to the public. 1t is natures own

herbs gathered from the forests, and
