ritory between McCracken and Scott
City is the opinion of grain men in
that section. 1t is stated that during
the high winds that PREVAILED in west

Landowners GETTING Busy.

The prominent bottom land owners
in Lyon county are organizing Lyon
County Drainage association. The OBJ
ject of the organization will be to pre-
VENT floods in the Cottonwood and
Neosho river bottoms. Four times
this year the Cottonwood river has
overfiowed and this aroused the farm
ers to take action. 1t is believed that

river valley which was made last year

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the
goods were new.

treated through the blood to get per-
manent results. To get WELL to feel
strong. hearty and vigorous one must
have good clean blood and lots of it,
You can't clean the blood thoroughly
unless the kidneys are made active.
Bad blood means clogged, inactive kid
neys and liver which causes, too. such
symptoms as backache. nervousness.

other sympathetic troubles.
Here is a simple home remedy and
the Recipe for making it up is as fol-
lows:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce.
Compound Syrup Sarsaparllla three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime. The in
gradients can be obtained at any good
prescription pharmacy at small cost.

a simple yet powerful and effective
remedy for all forms Of blood, kidney
and bladder diseases which should re
