1t is always gratifying to receive testi-
monials for Chamberlain Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, and when the
endorsement is from a physician it is
especially so. "There is no more salts
factory or effective remedy than Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy" writes DIR. r. E. Roby, physi-
clan and pharmacist, of Olney, Mo. ; and
as he has used the Remedy in his own
family and sold it in his drug store for
six years he should certainly know. For

Weather and Crops.

| Another very warm week, with
showers in most sections of the State,
but generally too light to materially
benefit ranges or growing crops. The
grain crops are practically all matured
except in a few backward localities in
Elko and White Pine counties. As a
rule the ripening was fastened by the
hot dry weather, but it is not believed that
the quality Of the grain was materially
injured Considerable threshing and
hay baling has been done in the west
ern counties. Cattle are being taken off
the ranges in Churchill and Humboldt
counties but the pasturage is still
plentiful in other sections.
Humbold County.-Highest tempera-
ture 100; lowest 81; light local showers.
Scarcity OF water for gardens; pasture
fails to start after second cutting OF al
falfa. Trees shedding leaves from lack
OF moisture. Water in Willow Creek as
low as in 1889.
Churchill County.-Highest tempera-
ture, 80 lowest, SO. Grain all cut and
mostly in the stack; estimated yield
varies from 10 per cent below, to an
average crop. Second crop of alfalfa be-
ing stacked; less than half an average
crop in some localities. Many farmers
pumping water for fruit trees. gardens
and stock. Cattle on range not doing
very well.
Washoe County.-Very warm and
sultry all week light showers on the ~
and 13. Grain about all harvested and
nearly through with the second crop of
alfalfa; good crop of both hay and grain
in the vicinity of Wadsworth. Apples,
potatoes and green corn plentiful on the
market. Water increasing in the
Truckee river.
White Pine County. hot
and dry week, though several quite
heavy local showers. Wild hay harvest
about all over and crop gathered in good
condition, but will be average light.
Second alfalfa crop in bloom. Barley
and wheat harvest in progress; oats ripe.
Corn in tassel. A fair crop of early po-
tatoes.

That there are good things in a pat
ernal system of government must he ad-
mitted by every man who will take the
trouble to investigate. The U. S. Con-
sui at Chemitz, Germany, closes a re-
port to the Department of State on the
value OF the German working mems in
surance system, which provides not
only for the payment of death indem-
nifty, but for the care of the sick and
their families for accidents, old age, and
incapacity to work from any cause, by
saying: whether a system which
makes SO much for paternalism is one to
commend, cannot say. Its effects here
have been anything but bad. Poverty,
in spite OF poor wages, is practically un-
known" The fund from which this in
surance is paid comes from both employ
ers and employees, the former paying
one-third and the latter two-thirds.
The insurance is compulsory.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF figs

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty
OF the excellence of its remedy. It is

as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not grippe nor

The Alum h6art.

Many people are suffering from
some form Of heart disease who have
no idea Of the cause OF it.
Any disturbance Of the digestive
organs affects the hearts action, and
therefore every food which interferes
with digestion is responsible where
there are troubles OF this character.
1t has been discovered that the use
Of baking powder made from burnt
alum coagulates the blood very rapid
lv. which interfercs with its free flow
through the arteries and valves OF
that organ Formerly alum was used
as specific for children's Group, but
owing to its tendency from the causes
named to produce heart failure ply
sieians no longer employ H.
In face OF such facts aud in view OF
the overwhelming testimony Of Sci
entists rs to the poisonous character
Of this drug when Jsed for food pur-
poses. can there be any excuse for the
ignorance or uncoucern which per-
mits any one to take from the grocer
package OF alum baking powder,
simply FOR the sake OF saving a few
cents III price?
1t is a healthtul sign that many
states arc limiting by law the sale Of
the alum baking powder Very soon
il will be prohibited in all states, or
treated as poison. as it should be.
But for such laws. how are the alum
powders to be known by consumers?
Where alum powders are not brand
ed as such nor their sales prohibited
by law, it is better to avoid the use
OF any new or doubtful brand until il
has been analysed Tie purity of all
powders may BE- suspected il they are
sold al price lower than the price OF
the best standard brands We know
the Royal to be drst-class cream OF
tartar powder, and il consumers IN
sist upon having that brand. they will
be sure Of pure, healthful article.
In view Of a recently reported case Of
poisoning Of a whole family living

Of alum powder, it behooves everyone
to useeNtraordinary care in purchas-
ing their supplies. We dc not hest
