TOUCH OF CASE WEATHER
Possibility That Some Weed May be Taken
From Poles Soon in This Quarter

Mild, foggy and nice showers the
past forty-eight hours have put farm
ers and growers on nettles concerning
tobacco conditions and the outlook gen.
orally. There has been practically no
moi lure in the air since tobacco was
housed and it has become thoroughly
dried and brittle. Moisture has been
much needed and now that we have had
it, accompanied as it was by warm
weather, it gives encouragement to
believe that there may be an early re-
moval of weed from the poles. We
doubt if any will be removed at this
time. On this point the Edgerton To-
bacco Reporter comments: If much
Christmas money is to be derived from
the tobacco crop this year, casing
weather should come very soon now.
Enough of the '08 crop has been sold TO
be delivered at local packing points TO
distribute a good deal of holiday money
and growers might devote their atten-
ton to preparing the crop for market
now if the much wished for casing
weather should come. The long con-
tinued dry fall, however, has left the
hanging tobacco in such condition that
something more than the ordinary cas-
ing damp will be required to put the
leaf into the proper shape for STIR, ping.
Unless rains come before the winter
gets well established it is not likely that
warm enough temperature will accom-
pany the damp spell to bring the to-
bacco into the desired case. What in
terests the working class of the pack
ing points most is an early opening of
the handling season which cannot take
place without fall rains that bring down
the hanging tobabacco in the country.

Shocking mudIatiOn by Mad Animal

In southern Crawford county an aged
lady, Mrs. Barbara Dw0rak, was at.
tackled by a two-year-old colt supposed
to have been suffering from hydrophob-
ia and the poor old lady was horribly
mutiliated. The animal sprang at her
through woven wire fence, tore her
clothing to shreds, bit one ear off,
crushed one of her arms and tore the
flesh from her arms in several places,
also bit her on the face and hands. She
was taken to the Chicago pasteur in
stitute and the Kickapoo Chief tells
that the woman will recover.
The Chicago pasteur institute must
be wonderful institution. 1t has Civ
en- results in its treatment of rabies.
In all, 3476 patients have received the
treatment and very large percentage
of those treated have recovered Of
these treated, 1882 persons were bitten
by dogs, ll5 by cats, Ia by horses, 80
by skunks, by wolves, so by cows, IL
by calves, 2 by burros, 5 by coyotes, |
by rat, by pigs. by sheep, and 80
were infected by hydrophobic human
beings.
The treatment is said to be harmless
and painless and consists in hypoder-
mic injections of a specially prepared
virus Of different graduation of strength
for period of Is, II or q days, de-
pending on the severity of the case.
This treatment is said to be the only
true scientific preventative of hydro
phobia, and since its establishment, 273
cases from Wisconsin have been treat
ed, mostly with success.

Has it occurred to you dear readers,
that we live in one of the richest state
of the Union, that the season has been
ideal, that Wisconsin is among the fore
most in agricultural pun ,uits, mining
and stock-raising, that many of our
citizens prosper and that Wisconsin is
the land Of opportunities?
We hear of the west as the land
where wealth is within easy grasp, but
you will find it the same there as here,
some grow fat while others fail The
tree must be cultivated there as here.
the plums are not lying on the round
waiting for you, and you must more
than shake the bush. Why migrate

ACTUAL STARVATION
The B. NJ. Hyde Drug Co. Give Facts
Regarding Dyspepsia

Although Indigestion and Dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause and
cure. There is no reason why people
should not eat anything they desire-if
| they will only chew it carefully and
! thoroughly. Many actually starve them
/ selves into sickness through fear of
eating every good looking, good smelling
and good-tasting food, because it does
not agree with them.
Dieting cannot cure Dyspepsia. five
refuse every article of food that dis
agrees with US, before long we have
nothing left, and find ourselves chronic
dyspeptics
We can cure Dyspepsia. We are so
confident of this that we guarantee a
cure, and promise to supply the medi-
cine free of all cost to everyone who
will use it, WHO'S not perfectly satisfied
with the results which it produces. We
exact no promise. and put no one under
any obligation whatever. Surely, moth
ing could be fairer. We are located
right here in Viroqua, and our repu-
tation should be sufficient assurance of
the genuineness of our offer.
We want everyone in Viroqua who is
troubled with Indigestion or Dyspepsia
in any form to come to our store and
get box Of Rexall's Dyspepsia Tab
lets. Take them home and give them
reasonable trial, according to direc-
tons. They are very pleasant to take;
they soothe the irritable stomach,
strengthen and invigorate the digestive
organs, promote healthy and natural
bowel action, imme liately relieve nausea
and all stomach irritation. produce per-
feet and healthy digestion and assimila-
ton, and promote nutrition.
A 25c package of Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets furnishes Is days treatment.
In ordinary cases, this is sufficient to
produce a cure. In more chronic cases,
a longer treatment, of course, is neces-
sary, and depends upon the severity of
the trouble For such cases, we have
large sizes which sell for 45c. and soc.
