Everybody is busy gathering the
golden grain, but the second crop which
is everywhere omnipresent is still of the
green tint and won't be ripe for at least

Thos. Backrud Of Daniels, with which
they expect to take off big crop on
their place. This economy is undoubted-
~ due TO some extent on account of the
,drouth.

A Mother Tells How-S Saved Her
Little DAUGHTERS Life

I am the mother Of eight children and
have had great deal Of experience with
medicines Last summer my little
daughter had the dysentery in it's worst
form. We thought she would die. I
tried everything could think OF, but
nothing seemed to do her any good. !
saw by an advertisement in our paper
that Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recon-
nended and sent and got bottle at once.
1t proved to be one of the very best
medicines we ever had in the house. I
saved my little daughters life. I am
ANXIOUS for every mother to know what
an excellent medicine it is. Had I
known it at first it would have saved me
great deal of anxiety and my little
daughter much suffering.-Yours truly,
Mrs. GEO. f. BURD1cK. Liberty, r. /.
