Butter.

g. oubtGls
A local grocery man, In converse
ton with q LEDGER reporter, said!
sThe trouble with the farmers max
ing butter for the market is that they
will make their butter and ave it for
maybe two or three weeks before
they bring it to town. Only yester-
day a farmer brought 8 u 10 pounds
of the best looking butter I've seen
this winter to me, and when ! told
him that, as his butter had been kept
too long, ] could give but 10 cents a
pound for it he left the store In q ter
rible rage. II that man had brought
the butter in the same week In which
it vas made I would gladly have
given him the market price-15 cts
for It."
If the farmers would market their
butter oftener they would not only
have a ready market for 1t, but would
vastly improve the market price.

KIDNEY TROUBLES.

The kidneys cleanse the blood and
on their activity depends the health
of the body. If the liver becomes SO
torpid that it interferes with the
work of the kidneys the body suffers
and dropsy results. The most valua-
BILE feature in the curative effect of
PRIcKLY ASH BITTERs is its stimulat-
ing influence on the kidneys. 1t heals
and strengthens the organs so that
they resume their blood cleansing
and urine gathering functions, puri-
fies and regulates the liver, tones up
the stomach and digestion, and by a
yet thorough cathartic effect, all
poisons and bilious impurities in the
bowels are driven out. 1t quickly re-
stores strength and health. Sold by
O.. A. Buckner.

Drug Store Traffic in the East End


VANDALIA, Mo-, January 25.-The
whiskey traffic fight is On to a finish in
this place. A petition has been circu-
lated calling for cooperation and is
signed by over 200 business men and
many women. The churches have
taken a willing hand in the matter as
well, and on Saturday afternoon the
first case was called and tried before d
jury, which, after heated arguments
on both sides, rendered a verdict
against one Of our druggists in the
sum of 800 and costs. Prosecuting
Attorney Rodgers acted for the State
and w. w. Bolts for the defense. The
case is appealed to the Circuit Court.
Many who heard him testify that Bob
Rodgers made a capital speech in be-
half of the youths, mothers, husbands
and society at large and are free to
say the illegal sale of intoxicants must
cease. The joints must be wiped out.
Other cases will likely follow.
