A DOCTORS DIRECTIONS.
They save a daughter
from blindness.

When father writes that yours "is the
best medicine in the world" you can
allow something for seeming extrava-
gance in the statement if you know that
the medicine SO praised, cured loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icine in the world for you is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be ANYTHING
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goode of
Orrick, Mo-, writes in these strong terms |:
CDR. Ayers sarsaparilla is the best med
icine in the world. My daughter had a
relapse after the measles, due to taking
cold. She was nearly blind and was obliged
to remain in dark room all the time.
The doctors could give her no relief; one
of them directed me to give her Ayers
Sarsaparilla. Two bottles cured her COM
pletely."
The thousands of testimonials to the
value OF DIR. Ayers Sarsaparilla repeat
over and over again, in one form or another
the expression: 1.-The doctors gave her
no relief; one of them directed me to
give her DIR. Ayers Sarsaparilla. Two
bottles completely cured her"
Ayers Sarsaparilla as a last resort. 1t is

A REALLY INTELLIGENT JURY.
The Verdict Was in Accordance with
the Evidence.

1T was the funniest thing I ever saw in ,
courtroom laughed the veteran of the bar
who was enjoying an informal smoker will
his brethren. Il was in the new west then
trying to get good start One of the resi-
dents had mysteriously disappeared, and hi,
wife was arrested under suspicion that she
might be responsible for the fact. l defend
ed her.
,"On the stand she was simply irrepressi
bic. only got to ask her one question
That was more than plenty She talked
precisely as though she were wound up and
could not stop until the handspring was
completely relaxed. In the midst of her
TRADE she was interrupted by an inquiry by
one of the jurors.
"'Who are you talkin' to, Bill Spriggins,
she shouted. L don't low no cattle like
you to be quizzin' me. Eff you don't know
now to treat your betters, I'll learn you,
you pln-headed coyote. EFF my husband was
here he'd perferate you mighty quick, and
l know it. But l kin take care of myself

There was no staying her deluge of words
and the. judge was at last driven by sheer
desperation to tell the jury to retire and do
the best it could with the facts in its posses
sion.

as foreman, stood up. to give the verdict.

a common experience to have Or. Aver,s
Sarsaparilla prescribed by a physician.
1t is common experience to see com.
plete cure" follow the use of few bottles
of this great blood purifying medicine.
Because, it is specific for all forms of
blood disease. If disease has its origin
in bad or impure blood, DR.. Ayers Sars-
aparila, acting directly on the blood re-
moving its impurities and giving to it
vitalizing energy, will promptly eradicate
the disease.
The great feature of DR.. Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla is the radical cures that result from
ITS use. Many medicines only suppress
disease-they push the pimples down
under the skin, they paint the complexion
with subtle arsenical compounds, but the
disease RACES in the veins like pent-up
hre, and some day breaks out in vol
canic eruption that eats up the BODY.
Ayers Sarsaparilla goes to the root. II
makes the fountain clean and the waters
are clean. 1t makes the root good and
the fruit is good. It gives Nature tn
elements she needs to build UP the brok en-
down constitution-nott to brace il up with
stimulants or patch it up on the surface.

more about the cures effected by this
remedy. It's sent free, on request, by the

THE BEST EVER KNOWN.
Secretary coburn's Report Says Kansas
Wheat Prospects Have Never Been So
Flne--ConditIOn OF Other Crops

TOPEKA, Kan, June 7.--Secretary
Coburn, Of the state board Of agricul-
ture, has had reports from almost
every township in Kansas for his crop
report made public yesterday, 1t is
one OF the most complete he has ever
issued. 1t shows that the average con-
ditiOn OF the winter wheat crop OF
Kansas is 1903. On June 4. last year, a
similar bulletin showed the condition
of the wheat crop which brought so
many millions into Kansas to be So
The government estimate is that the
acreage is 2S per cent greater this
year than last. The reports sustain
the statement that Kansas will harvest
100, 000, 900 bushels of wheat this year.
The bulletin says:
Excessively and almost uninterrupted wet
cool weather for several weeks has caused the
winter wheat prospect TO be probably the most
promising In the states history at this time Of
the year Its stand and growth are not only
very excellent but the entire absence thus far
OF injury by insects Is equally noticeable.
From scattered localities the presence OF q few
OF last years chinchbugs is mentioned, but In
no instance are they alluded TO as doing, OF
likely to do business. A little rust is alluded
to by correspondent here and there, but up
parently more with II view TO relieving his re-
port OF monotony than suggest harm or fear.
CoTn-The same continuous wet, cool wealth
err, so favorable to the development Of tho
wheat plant, has been averse to tho corn situa-
ton, causing seed in the ground to rot, and re-
tarding plowinR planting termination and
cultivation. Hence much planting or replant-
ing is yet done (malnly with lsters), and that
portion which is above ground has made only
limited growth, although in some localities
cultivation is in progress Within few days
the situation has considerably improved For
the entire state the condition averagesi0 The
following table gives the average condition Of
winttr wheat and corn by counties:
