months of the year, and as result
the country is overrun with noxious
weeks, the Bermuda grass, with
which we have scarcely enough to
become familiar, is absolutely
overrunning the country. Alfalfa
fields are being run out by this plant,
and it is estimated that orchardists
spend between four and six dollars
per acre year to keep it down.
There seems no way to get rid of it
but to plow up the field and fight.

Equitable has not only thus contrib
uted to the growth of this city but
has taken over the certificates of the
defunct Aetna association of Butte,
saving our people from substantial
loss through their investments in
that institution by guaranteeing them
their money back with six per cent
interest, many of whom have already
been paid of on this basis.

A great many people imagine they have heart trouble when the fact is that the whole trou- ble lies in the stomach. The pains in the side around the re- zion of the heart are not neces- sarily heart trouble. We sug- gest that you start with the stomach and whenever you feel a depression after eating or whenever your food seems to nauseate take Kodol. It will not be very long until all these "heart pains will disappear. Take Kodol now and until you know yon are right again. There isn t any doubt about what it it will do and you will find the truth of this statement verified after you have used Kodol for a few weeks.
