Des Moines, May 15.-The regular
weekly weather and crop bulletin was
issued today as follows:
The week ending Monday morning
was warmer than usual, the daily ex-
cess OF teniperature ranging from ! 10 8
degrees. During the last three days
the heat was intensified by high south
erly winds and 100 per cent of sunshine,
causing very rapid evaporation OF the
moisture supplied by the showers of
the early part of the week. In portions
of the northwest and west centra, dis
tricts rain is much needed
The conditions have been generally
favorable for corn planting, and in the
southern and central sections that
work is nearly completed, under very
favorable conditions for rapid germina-
ton. In the northern section planting is
we'll advanced and aSfew days of dry
weather will be sufficient TO finish it..
Reports indicate that termination has
been fairly good in early planted fields
and in numerous localities cultivation
is in progress. On the whole very
large corn acreage is likely to be
planted. somewhat in advance OF the
average season.
Oats spring wheat, barley and grass
are doing notably we'll in nearly all
parts of the state. Fruit prospects
continue to be good. and injury from
frost has been very slight"

4 SPRING DISEASE.
More Catarrh u: This season Than IL


Any Other.
The fact that catarrat is more preva.
lent in spring than any other time of
year is easily accounted for by the sud-
den changes. the warm sunny day suc-
ceeded by the snow or sleet OF the next.
Repeated colds in the head resulting
from our tickle spring climate very cas-
lily drift into nasal catarrh. which is at
finally, IL neglected, causes infiamma-
ton and thickening OF the mucous
membrane of the nasal cavity which
gradually extends into the throat and
bronchial tubes and to the stomach
causing catarrh OF the stomach.
Douches of salt water or douches Of
any kind Very often aggravate the
trouble by still further irritating the
delicate membranes.
The safest remedy for colds In the
head and for any form of catarrh is
some simple and safe antiseptic. pre-
ferably in tablet, and taken internally
several times a day.
One of the best antiseptic catarrh
tablets for this purpose is one composed
OF sanguinaria, eucalyptol and guaia-
col, and sold by druggists under the
name of stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets clean the catarrhal se-
erection from the membranes OF the nose
and throat and act also very effective
~ upon the blood, their regular use for
few weeks entirely eliminating the
catarrahl poison from the system.
The best remedies for any trouble are
the simplest. and Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets is superior preparation for
colds and catarrhal conditions because
absolutely free from cocaine or opiates
so commonly found in cheap cough
cures and catarrh medicines.

lquestionably incite the farmers to use
the mails more. Under the old method
of not getting mail from the town post
office more than once a week. the farm
ers had no desire to write letters. but
when they get their mail regularly
every day they will write a great deal
more. Especially will the system prove
of benefit to the new spapers. Farmers

depending upon for all their news of
