One Woman Among the Thousands
We received letter from Waycross

troubled with female complaint for a
long time, until she was reduced to
almost a shadow 1t effected her
mind she could not remember any
thing, would get confused and so
nervous and irritable she could hard
ly sleep. She described her case as
one similar to thousands OF other
women, and then ends the letter by
saying she had gained 1S pounds last
month and never felt better in her
life, having no trace of her former
troubles, slept well, ate her meals
with a relish. She commenced the
use of DR.. Gums Blood and Nerve
Tonic just six weeks before she wrote

Morrlstown. N. j.. Aug. 1G.-The
crucifx imprinted upon the back of
Abbott Parker still remains a mys-
terry to the doctors. The theory that
he might have received the impress
sion from a crucifix which some Sis.
ters have a custom of leaving in un-
occupied beds Is weakened by the cir
cumstances that the Sisters here have
never done such thing. Photograph
ers say that 1t is a mystery to see
the cross right side up upon the mans
back, when II II was photographed
there ID would have been upside down.
Parker has entirely recovered from
the shock and will be discharged from
the hospital in few days. At the

Government Crop Report
Says Yield Is Fairly
Good

The government crop and weather
report says:
The past week has been dry, warm,
and in most sections quite smoky. The
grain harvest has proceeded uninter
ruptedly, and in the Willamette val
ley and the southern part Of the state
most Of the fall grain has been
! thrashed. Fall wheat yields east of
the Cascades continues excellent, but
In the Willamette valley and Southern
Oregon only an average crop has been
secured. Early seeded spring wheat
made a good crop. and that seeded
late is turning out better than ex-
pected, Notwithstanding that mucn
OF 1t has already been cut for hay on
account Of the straw being too short
to be harvested with binders. Oats
are below the average in quantity
Barley yields are variable but mostly
good. The quality Of all grain this
year is better than usual.
Pasturage is getting very short and
the milk supply in the dairy districts
is diminishing. Hop burs are forming
nicely and the vines continue free of
lice. 1t is expected that even with
favorable weather from now on the |
hop crop will be smaller than last
year. Notwithstanding the increased
acreage. Corn is doing nicely, but it
would be benefited by rain, while DO
