WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds its
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes linz
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. II
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump.
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air
rest all you can, eat all yor
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

WELlMAN ON WALL STREET.

Upon a careful review Of the situation,
Walter Wellman concludes that the rail-
road men, fnancers and promoters of
Wall street have made up their minds
that President Roosevelt cannot be de-
feated. He says: "Wall street is re.
signed, indifferent, apathetlc," While
this condition will make the election of
Mr.. Roosevelt easier, with Wall street
arrayed against him he would have been
just as surely successful. But this apathy
promises to rob the presidential year Of
some of the features for which it has be-
come noted. The campaign will be a
dry ore and perhaps business conditions
will not in any way be affected.

Weather Bureau Report.

The following weather review for the
week ending Wednesday, June !
10 furnished by E. D. Emigh, observer
In charge:
The good effects of an abundance Of
rainfall were largely counteracted by the
destructive hail storm that terminated
the week. Moderate showers Friday
and Saturday afforded welcome relief
from droughty conditions, and the
heavy ralnfull of Tuesday afternoon,
l,66 inches thoroughly soaked the ground
The total precipitation Of the week was
2.l9 inches.
A sufficient amount OF sunshine was
rot prevented by the prevalence Of
cloudy weather, for the clouds were zen.
orally thin. One day was clear, one
partly cloudy, and five cloudy.
Normal temperature prevailed. The
highest was IS degrees on Tuesday, and
the lowest As degrees on Thursday morn
Ing, the 10th.
No injurious high wind was recorded.
