Are You Tired, Nervous
and SIeepless I?

Nervousness and sleeplessness are u.s.
laliy due to the fact that the nerves are
not FED on properly .nourshing blood;
thcy ire Sidrred nerves DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery makes pure,
rich bla0li. and thereby the nerves are
properly nourished and all the organs of
the body are run as smoothly as machn-
cry which runs in oil. In this way you
feel clean, strong and strenuous--yOu are
toned up and inyigoratcd, and you are
good for whole lot of physical or mental
work. Best OF all, the strength and in
crease in vitality and health are lasting
The trouble with most tonics and med
icines which have a large, booming sale
for q short time, is that they are largely
composed of alcohol holding the drugs in
solution. This alcohol shrinks up the red
blood corpuscles, and in the long run
greatly mi ureS the system. One may feel
exhilaratcd and better for the time being,
yet in the end weakened and with vitality
decreased. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery contains no alcohol. Every
bottle of it bears upon its wrapper The
Badge of Honestly in full list of all its
several ingredients. For the druggist to
offer you something he claims is "just as
good is to insult your intelligence.
Every ingredient entering into the
world-famed "Golden Medical Discovery"
has the unanimous approval and endorse
ment of the leading medical authorities
of all the several schools of practice. No
other medicine sold through druggists for
like purposes has any such endorsement.
The rGolden Medical Discovery" not
only produces all the good effects to be
obtained from the use of Golden Seal
root, in all stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, as in dyspepsia, biliousness, con-
stipation, liberation of stomach and
bowels and kindred ailments, but the

nAppY DAYS FOR FARMERS.
Spokesman Review.

From all over the Inland Empire
come reports of heavy rains, worth
millions of dollars to farmers, fruit
growers and truck gardeners. The
spirits of the people which had be-
gun to drop with the long continued
dIy spell, are now revived and there
is every reason to believe that ex
pectations of abundant crops will be
fully realized. The reputation of this
vast western country as an agricult-
ural and horticultural district will be
it is reasonable to anticipate, main
tained at higher standard.
1t is interesting to those who have
been in the country for good many
years to reflect that the present ex-
perience is not unusual. Many times
in the past dry spell has followed
seeding, and just as the situation ap-
peared to be growing serious, with the
ground dried with continual sunshine
and the grass almost assuming a yel-
low tinge, the welcome rain has come,
vegetation revived and the whole
scene was changed. 1t is questioned
by some whether dry period of con-
siderable duration, such as the coun-
try has just had, is not really bene-
fit, by sending growth into the roots
instead of the stalk, making plant life
stronger and preparing it for the rap
i'd development that will follow the
rain.
1t does not appear that any actual
damage had been inflicted by drouth,
though considerable anxiety was be-
ginning to make itself manifest.
However, "all's we'll that ends we'll, "
and as the dry season has ended and
been succeeded by copious showers, a
happier feeling pervades the whole
community.

There is every likelihood that Senator
Gearin will be able to return to Ore
gon in time to take the stump. IL be
does there will be things doing in the
Senatorial race. Senator Gearin, If
he takes the stump will show the peo-
pie an orator of dignity, force and
eloquence. A marked contrast to
Jonathan Bourne. Right here it might
be a good thing to remark that
man who can impress the Senate
with his force and bearing aud his

this state needs in Washington.
