week was warmer than usual, the aver
age daily excess intemperature ranging
from two to four degrees. The nights
were cool, however, with considerable
benellt from dews. Except in portion
of the northwest district the rainfall
was very light, and drouthy conditions
are still prevalent in four-tlfths of the
state. All immature crops need rain,
especially late corn, potatoes and grass.
The pastures are so scant that stock are
being fed, more or less in all sections of
the state. Material improvement in

the corn crop has been noted in nearly
all districts. Both early and late corn
are now more promising in extensive
areas than was deemed possible on the
first of the month. But the future
yield of sound corn is contingent OF
favorable weather conditions through

ious rains are needed very soon fol

will be much better than expected, 4

Manchester visitor the first of the week,

He said the corn crop will average con-
siderable more than half of an ordinary
crop in this section.

Anyone can prove the efficacy of the
food cure by making use of the follow

bread, and not more than one cup of
Postum Food Coffee, to be slipped. not
drank hurriedly. Let this suffice for the
breakfast.
Let one meal in the day consist of
an abundance of good meat, potato and
one other vegetable.
This method will quickly prove the
value of the selection of the right kind
of food to rebuild the body and replace
the lost tissue which is destroyed every
day and must be made up, or disease of
some sort enters in. This is an age of
specialists, and the above suggestions
are given by specialist in food values,
