The Company known through
out the world rs the
CAL FORNlA FIG SYRUP Co..

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, 1t has become import
ant to all to have knowledge OF the
Company and its products. The
great value OF the remedy rs medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing end selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process OF manuiact-
uring, figs are USED, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most beneticially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.

There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We
refer to Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
When it is kept at hand the severe
pain of burn or scald may be
promptly relieved and the sore healed
in much less time than when mrdi-
cine has to be sent for. A sprain may
be promptly treated before infama-
ton sets in, which insures cure ia
about one-third the time otherwise
required. Cuts and bruises should re-
ceive immediate attention, before the
parts become swollen, and when
Chamberlain's Pain Balm is applied it
will heal them without matter be ng
formed, and without leaving scar.
A sore throat may be cured in one
night. A piece of flannel dampened
with this liniment and bound on over
the seat of pain, will cure lame back
or pain in the side or chest in twenty
four hours. 1t is the most valuable,
however, for rheumatism. Persons af-
t1icted with this disease will be de-
lighted with the prompt relief from
pain which it affords, and it can be
depended upon to effect a complete
cure. For sale by all druggists ard
dealers. Benson, Smith & Co., agent IS

A BAD STORM.

Trego county was visited by very
severe lightning, thunder and hail
storm last Saturday night between 10
and II o'clock. with down pour of
rain which almost reached the proper
tion of a cloud burst. The hail was
large and was destructive to fruit and
vegetables. The electrical display,
which was continuous and vivid.
frightened many people and there
were not few who got up and dress
ed themselves in anticipation of a
tornado. Fortunately no serious
damage was done. The wind came
from the northwest and was the most
terrific ever known to our oldest in
habitants. Barns were demolished.
wind mills, chimneys and outbuild-
ings were blown all over the city.
The hail cut a swarth about a mile
wide destroying wheat and other
small grain.
Nearly every house in town was
more or less damaged by the water
running in at the windows and down
the chimneys.
Van Epp's photograph car, which
was standing on the OLD commercial
house corner, was picked up by the
twister and completely wrecked.
The following is a partial list of the
heaviest losers: w. S. Mead, west shed

THE FARMING WORLD.
PLANTING POTATOES.

Deep, Mellow Soil. Kept in Good Tilth.
Gives the Best Results.
There are two advantages in plant
ing potatoes reasonably deep One is
they are less liable to be injured by
drought. The other is that there is no
necessity for killing up TO prevent sun
scald. To grow and yield well potatoes
require considerable moisture. If the
soil is stirred thoroughly and deep and
the planting is deep they will be more
certain of securing plenty of moisture
than when the blowing and planting
are shallow.
Keeping the surface level and in D
good filth aids in retaining moisture
in the soil,
A deep, mellow. loose soil kept in
good filth gives the best results with
all crops. Run out the burrows with a
single shovel plow, plant reasonably
deep, cover well. If good drainage is
provided and there is not too much dam
ger of washing. it will be best not to
fill up the. burrows entirely, but to do
this gradually as the cultivation is
given. The potatoes may be planted
deeper this way than would be best if
all of the covering must be given at
once.
Have the soil rich, and if there is not
enough well-rotted manure to make
the necessary fertility, it will be good
plan to use commercial fertilizer, ap-
plying it in the hill before the seed is
planted.
If the soil is well-prepared before
planting the cultivation can begin with
the harrow and generally the first har-
rowing can be given before the plants
show above ground and second very
soon after. In this way the soil can be
kept in a good filth and the weeds de-
stroyed at low cost.
If the planting is shallow. more or
less killing up will be necessary in or
der to prevent sun-scald, and the soil
will dry out more rapidly, often to an
extent to seriously affect the growth
and yield.-St- Louis Republic.
