NO MAN Is STRONGER
THAN HIS STOMACH.

The stomach is the vital center of the
body. 1t is the organ from which all
other organs are fed. A weak stomach
means a weak man. There never was a
strong man with weak stomach. What
Is called eweak stomach is in general
diseased condition of the stomach and
other organs of digestion and nutrition,
which prevents the proper digestion of
the food which is taken into the stom-
ach, and 50 reduces the nutrition of the
body. When all food is taken away the
body starves. When the food eaten is
only digested and assimilated in part it
only nourishes the body in part, and so
the body is partly starved. And this
starvation is felt in every organ of the
body dependent on the blood which is
made from food.
The great variety of the cures per-
formed by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery Is due to its remarkable
power to heal diseases of the stomach
and allied organs. 1t cures through the
stomach diseases seemingly remote, but
which have their origin in a diseased
condition of the stomach and the other
organs of digestion and nutrition.
rWeako heart, lungs, kidneys and weak
ness of other organs is cured with the
cure of the weak stomach.

The Great Sugar Factory.

At Rocky Ford the eNcursionists
were warmly welcomed, after
which they were placed in car
ringes and taken out to the big beet
sugar factory and thence treated
to delightful drive through the
fair and fertile farming areas i'm
mediately adjacent to Rocky Ford.
The great Oxnard Rocky Ford
beet sugar factory has this year
contracted for beets from 10000
acres, the estimated total yield
under favorable conditions being
l50. 900 tons OF beets, with n money
outlay for beets Of s70J,0O0 or
$500. 900. aud a sugar output OF
%, ,00O.OO pounds. The employees
Of the factory itself will number
$50 during the sugar campaign,
while 100 people are working iu
tho beet fields.
The factory management main-
tnins q staff OF eighteen expert
beet cultivators, who constantly
move about the big valley carrying
experienced advice and practical
help.
The Arkansas valley exceeds in
sncchnrinc per cent nLy beet region
on either continent yet exploited,
the valley average Of IL per cent
being only equalcd by the Oxnar,l
cgion OF California, the average
Of all California sugar beet lands
reaching. how ever, only II per
cent.
The Rocky Ford factory is add
ing to its machinery a special plant
for the extraction of sugar from the
molnsses product Of the beet Last
yours molasscs is stored ut the
factory, filling tank 300 feet long.
20 feet wide and 9 feet deep. The
extraction Of the sugar from this
stored molasses will begin in July.
Careful experiment Inns lately
demonstrated that the Arkansas
valley climate is favorable to the
storing Of beets for winter factory
campaign purposes, the beet re-
tanning its full saccharine quality.
After the factory starts up on
July ID il will know no pause for
eight months, the molnsses treat
ment lasting until September l, ON
which date will open the yearly
sugar campaign which will con-
tune to the February or March Of
