Oelwein, Dec. ia defective flue
caused a disastrous fire Monday in the
central school house, entirely destroy
ing the upper portion and scorching

Acid dyspepsia, commonly called
heartburn or sour stomach, is form OF

comes chronic, and being an every Gay
occurrence is given but little attention.
Because dyspepsia is not Immediately
fatal, many people do nothing for the
trouble.
1t is now we'll Known among able phy-i
sicians that the whole constitution IS
gradually undermined and weakened,
that the nerves and vital organs are
seriously affected by any form of dys-
pepsia. This is plain, as every organ,
every nerve in the body is nourished by
the blood and the blood is renlenished
from the food digested. IL the food is
properly digested the blood is pure, the
nerves steady, but II supplied from a
sour. fermenting, deeaying mass. the
blood is Initiated, poisoned and the re-

energy, poor appetite, nervousness. Ev-s
cry trifie is magnified and the dyspep-
tie sees nothing but the dark side of
everything.
Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
and 1t is now becoming rapidly used
and prescribed as a radical cure for ev-
cry form OF dyspepsia.
1t is not claimed to cure anything ex-
cspt dyspepsia and stomach weakness
in its various forms, but for this it has
been shown to be unequalled. The emf
nent specialists, Reed and OIeary,
have recently stated that they consid-
cred Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets an I'M
falling specific for disorders of the d.
gestive organs, and the remarkable !
cures made in cases of long standing |
dyspepsia proves that this remedy has
extraordinary merit.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have been
placed before the public and are sold by |
druggists everywhere at so cents per
package, and While It promptly and eff !
fectually restores a vigorous digestion, |
at the same time is perfectly harmless |
and will not injure the most delicate I
stomach, but on the contrary, by CIV

makes life worth living.

Alfalfa is kinQ.

We are informed by a farmer in this vicinity that alfalfa will sustain an average of at least three head of matured live stock to the acre the year round. A forty-acre tract of al- falfa will feed dairy herd of forty COWS and their calves, and four head of horses the year round. It is the report of experts that 100 COWS can be cared for in Fresno county with less cost than can thirty-five COWS in the dairy districts of the Eastern States, the COWS giving an equal quantity of milk and the profit from this product equaling or exceeding the Eastern product. As many as five crops of hay have been harvested in one year from an alfalfa patch in this vicinity. Now that the cream cry is an established fact, insuring ready sale for all the milk that can be produced on the dairies hereabout, the acreage of alfalfa, as well as the herds of cows, will be greatly aug mented during the next few years- Sanga Herald.

Perhaps the easiest and cheapest method of destroying gophers in all falfa is by the use of carbon bisul- phide placed in the holes, as suggested by the Field and Farm. It can be bought at the drug store by the ounce Open the hole, pour some of the stuff on a piece of tow, waste or old rags and drop into the hole, covering again and packing down. As the gas formed by evaporation will be heavier than the atmosphere it will permeate the tunnels insteadS of escaping and will prove fatal to all animal life there In handling this stuff it is well to remember that it is highly inf1amma- ble and there is great danger of ex- plosion.-Yuma Sentinel
 That is all right in countries where Irrigation is not used, or in localities where water for irrigation is too linn ited for it's free use. but in the Im- perial Settlements the free use of wa ter will drown all the gophers-if any get in there poison will not be needed for that purpose
