THE PEACH CROP.
Small Harvest in the East Means Good
Prices Here.

Small Harvest in the East Means Good
Prices Here.
California peach-raisers need not feel
discouraged because they will have only
half a crop this year. When a short time
ago it was found that the output would be
smaller than expected, the fruit-growers
looked to the East to see how the Eastern
crops stood the spring weather, and the
reports were that in the large peach sec
tions the harvest would be great.
California peach-growers concluded that
with big crops In the East the Western
fruit-raisers with their half crops would
hardly make enough to pay expenses.
In order to get more definite informa-
tion as to the prospective harvest of
peaches Mr.. Filcher of the State Board of
Trade wrote letter OF inquiry to j. B.
James, the manager of half dozen peach
orc ards, comprising thousands of acres
in Georgia. These orchards are really the
center OF the peach section of the East,
and the output and prices control the
general market. Mr.. James letter will
give heart to the California peach-growers.
1t reads as follows:
FORD VALLEY, Ca. May %.
J. A. Filcher--DEAR SIR: / am sorry
to report that we do not expect more than 25
to 80 per cent of a crop of peaches from
Georgia this season. Up to the 1st of May we
had prospects of fair crop, but our estimates
now are reduced by one half as compared to
basis of one month ago. So 1t would seem that
with short crop Of peaches in Georgia and
California we should look Tor good prices
Sold our first crate to-day, sneed net at So 80
J. B. JAMES
The conditions of the Eastern and West
ern peach crop show that the output will
be small. Hence, the profits will be large
and the California orchardists who ex-
pected to realize but little for their peaches
this year will probably be able to sell at q
good advantage.

MANHOOD!

EEb7HVEaOVUH
The Most Precious Ele-
ment of Our Physical
Being. You do Not
Know How to Appre-
ciate 1t Until You Have
Lost 1t. How 1t Can be
Regained.
There are three stages of
lost manhood: First, the alb
sence of manly power. Sec
ond, loss of ambition, energy,
business and social ability.
Third, loss of memory, dull
ness of vision, dullness OF
intellect, and in the end but
one result-nervous debility.
Lack of manhood is the
lack of the one thing that
makes life worth living. The
possessor of a vigorous man
hood does not appreciate its
worth. When he loses it by
excesses or indiscretions he
then begins to realize what
a grand element it is; how
much his happiness-yes,
his very existence-depends
upon it.
When a man is broken
down in his vital powers as
rule he is not the only one
who suffers. Others, family,
friends, those who enjoy his
company and protection, no
tice the depression in his
spirits, the lack of ambition,
dogged disposition, nagging,
irritable temperament. 1t
makes all who come in con-
tact with him unhappy.
Let the reader understand
that all this misery comes
from the loss of nerve force
that element which is the
we'll spring of all joy, of all
mental and physical pleas
ure. 1t is the loss of this
nerve force that leaves the
mind and body weak, and
causes the sufferer to feel
that the best of his life has
been spent.
To replace the force and
strength of the nerves we
must use E1ectricity-not
drugs-as Electricity forms
the basis of all animal life.
1t is the nerve force, the life
of the nerves, and the life of
all nervous and vital organs
increases when Electricity is
applied in mild, soothing G
currents, as it is from DR..
Sanden's Electric Belt.
It is hard to convince some
people of the value of this
great Electric Belt, for every
sufferer knows too we'll the

deception which is practiced
