Wise Old Nature

You can't fool nature all the time; it's

ganic substances, identical with the di-
gestive juice which natures our food ana
prepares il for the blood. All we need
now do Is TO accept what nature offers,
and become a happy wise people. There
is no reason why any Of US should suffer
stomach trouble, Indigestion or conStipa-
ton, If we will only leave laXatives and
dyspepsia medicine alone. These put US

which IS needed occasionally 10

and can be had from all druggists.
Though the price is a tTifle, the benefits
are extraordinary.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY,
New Drug, Posiam, Now obtainable
in Small Quantities.

Since it's discovery one year ago, the
new drug. poslam, has successfully
cured thousands of chronic cases Of
eczema and other distressing skin at
flictions. Heretofore poslam has been
dispensed solely for the benefit of ecze-
ma patients in large jars sufficient for
a months treatment. This was found
to be an inconvenience to many thou
sands who use it for minor skin trout
bles. such as pimples, blackheads,
herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion
blemisheS, itching feet, piles, ETC.,
which require but a small quantity to
cure. To overcome this, and in re-
Spouse to urgent appeals. the dispens-
ers of pOslam have been obliged to
adopt, in addition 10 the regular two
dollar package, a special 50-cent size,
which in future may be found on sale
at the F. J. Hill Drug Co. and other
leading drug stores in Salt Lake City,

saw several shipments of sheep from
Texas, ewes. wethers and yearlings,
sell for 4 cents a pound, because they
were in poor condition. Fat lambs sold
for IA cents a pound.
But A. J. KnOllin, one OF the largest
wool growers in the country, who is at
the Kenyon hotel, informs me that
while he was in Texas recently there
were heavy rains, which have improved
the range and viii have a correspond
ing effect upon the sheep there.
The low price of cattle and sheep in
January and February was probably
due 10 the number of idle men in the
east. The working classes buy a great
deal of meat When their earnings
cease or are reduced, the effect is
quickly noticeable in the market
Il estimate that there are now o.
900, 900 sheep upon the range in Utah.
The wool clip this year should be
about 14,OOO.OO0 pounds. OF this, 1000,
600 pounds have been consigned or sold.
The prices received by the woolgrowers
have ranged from 9 TO II cents a
pound"
Mr.. PriCkett said that in his opinion
Kansas City is now a better market for
sheep and cattle than Chicago.
