Fine weather for farming, and as BUSH

Never Without Pe=ru=na in My House
Mr. @. g.. Hot Springs Akansa.
There Are . Multitude Of People in
the United States
Who Have Been Restored to Health
Bv the Use of Pe-ru-na.

There are a multitude of people IN the united
States who have been restored to health by the use
of Peruna There is trying to deny this fact.
As rule, doctors dislike to admit it. Ihere is no"
and then courageous doctor who does admit It, now
ever. In such cases Peruna is prescribed by the
doctor himself. Even though the doctor suffers
pecun,ary loss by such transaction his patient is
benefited, which ought to be the doctors chief
concern.
we do not claim that doctors generally prescribe
peruna But we do claim whenever Peruna is in
teilgently prescribed it rarely disapponts either
the doctor or patient.

TO FIGHT BOIL WEEVIL
State Commissioner of Horticulture Designates Fl centro as Station.
 For Treating Cotton Seed

The probabilities of Imperial Valley becoming a valuable cotton country are being discussed in many quarters, and the importance of the prospec- tive cotton enterprise is shown by the action of the State Board of Horti culture in providing for an inspection and quarantine to keep the boil wee vii out of the State.
 As will be seen by the circular printed below, El Centro has been des- ignated as the station for the treat ment of such cotton seed as is admit ted for planting in the Imperial Val ley, and this duty develops upon I'm perial county's Horticultural Commits sloner, W. D. Wilsie.
 The movement is one which will be commended by all thoughtful persons. That the cotton industry is destined to be one of commercial importance here is generaly believed, and now is the time to take steps wnlcn will keep out the bol weevil pest that has proven such a destructive one in portions of the Southern States.
 The following is the proclamation of the State Horticultural Commission:

 Whereas, Information has been re- ceived by this Commission to the eff feet that cotton seed is about to be imported into this State from sections affected with the Cotton Boil Weevil (Anthronomus grandis-Boh.), and that the same is a serious pest in sections where it prevails, and,
 Whereas, The said Cotton Boil Wee vii (AnthrOnomus grandis) does not, nor ever has, existed in this State, and that if introduced, the same would become a serious and dangerous pest, probably spreading to other food plants; and,
 Whereas, The Cotton Boil Weevil (Anthronomus grandis), while not at tacking the seed of the cotton plant, may hibernate in the hulls or be car ried in the mass and thus become established in new locations;
 Therefore, Acting upon information received from, and request made by the Bureau of Plant Industry of the Department of Agriculture of the United States, it is hereby
 Ordered, That no cotton seed shall be admitted into this State, and a Horticultural Quarantine is hereby established against the same, except under the conditions herein set forth:
