it will be a hummer. The date is
August IS, 10, 20 and 81. August is
the farmers slack month, and they
go to picnics, reunions, excursions.
ETC., and they will all go the Fair.
August is the month when town folks
will go anywhere to get out of town
and away from the flies that swarm
around their screen doors, etc. They
will all want to 60 to the Fair, and
everybody wants to bet that it will
be the biggest Fair ever held in Lo-
gan county. Hicks says August is
going to be a hot month, and our
Secretary has ordered 900 fans, just
"a, 600 less than he ought to have or
dered, for every lady there will want
to be famed. You need not think

and a nicely graded road that will
land you right at the fountain, where
you can drink and cool off. Remem-

to make good loyal citizens, and pro
mote peace and order, than all th'

He is correct, for the law does no
make good citizens at all. 1t onl
partly restraints the wicked from vic

The church and the Sunday Schoc

THE HEART NOTTnE CHIEF VITAL
ORGAN.

The stomach, not the heart. Is the vital CEN
ter of the human body. What affects the
stomach affects every organ of the body be-
cause from the stomach comes the nutrition
which sustains life. IL by reason OF disease
the digestive and assimilative processes Of the
stomach and its allied organs are impaired,
this means the impairment Of every organ OF
the body which must suffer from diminished
sustenance.
1t Is a remarkable fact that people trife
with the stomach with no other physical
organ. They let 1t grow weak know that
its functions are failing and will do little or
nothing to cure themselves. Let symptoms
of disease manifest themselves in the heart,
liver, kidneys. or lungs. and there is instant
anxiety. They begin TO doctor" for "weak'
heart, liver trouble" kidney trouble,
or lung trouble" as the case may be.
And still they neglect stomach trouble which
is probably the cause Of the disorder OF other
organs. That Is the reason why so many peo-
pie doctor" without success for diseases of
heart, liver. kidneys, lungs. etc. They are en-
tirely neglecting the cause Of disease which is
| in the stomach and which results In physical
| weakness because Of lack OF nutrition. And as
the body as a whole Is made up Of its several
| organs and members, IL is evident that phys
cial weakness In general means weakness dis
| tributed among the several organs OF the
body. heart, liver, kidneys and lungs each
bearing its share. II there is special predispo-
sition to disease In any one organ. that organ
| will probably be the first TO develop symp-
toms OF disease.
Il oTHE REASON WHY DIR. Pierce's Golden Medi-
l cal Discovery cures so many various diseases
Is that so many diseases have their origin In
disease of the stomach and other organs of d.
gestion and nutrition. When the diseased
stomach Is cured. diseases of heart. liver. kid
neys. lungs. etc, caused by disease of tbs
stomach are cured also.
The REASON WHY Golden Medical Discov
cry" cures when doctors have failed and othel
medicines have been tried In vain, is because
the ordinary medical treatment ignores thu
stomach. while DR.. Pierce's Golden Medica
Discovery begins by the cure Of diseases o
this vital center and progress to the cure o
diseases OF other organs remote from th'
stomach but Influenced by IL and dependen
upon it.
Remember that food is the material tina
sustains life but only when it is perfect,
digested and assimilated. 1t Is by curing TIN
diseases OF the stomach and its allied organ
| which hinder digestion and assimilation tina
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery ena
bles the building up Of the body into vigorou
health and strength. through perfect nutri
tion derived from food: the only source O
physical strength and vigor.
