To Digest
the Food

Bile in the intestnes is as important to diges-
ton as the gastric juices in the stomach and
bile is only supplied when the liver is in active
condition.
The serious and chronic forms of indigestion
are cured by DR.. A. w. Chase's Kidney
and Liver Pills because of their influence on
the liver causing good flow of bile to aid
digestion and keep the bowels regular, there
by preventing fermentation of the food, the
formation Of gas and all the disagreeable sYmp-
toms of indis" ton.
Long standing cases of chronic indigestion
yield to Or. A. W. Chase's Kidney and Liver
Pills after all else has failed

writes:-"Fol sixteen years I suffered from

FRUIT RAISING.

The production of fruit of various kinds promises soon to develop in this territory into an industry of great importance. The experiences of other fruit growing states and terri tories has demonstrated the disas- against injury and destruction of that industry by various insect pests. The cure of these evils after having once been established is enormous, if practicable at all, and often has not been found or applied until after enormous damage has been done. Prevention is inCOmparably better from every standpoint, than cure. It is time that we were taking some steps to guard against the invasion of these damaging and, in some cases, destructive pests. As I have said relative to the control of tuber- culosis, so of the protection against fruit pests it is possible that terri torial law of general operation can not be made sufficiently specific to meet the evils sought to be corrected. And as in that case so in this, l would recommend the enactment of law empowering the boards of supervis- ors to provide for it by ordinance or other rules and regulations.
 These ordinances should be made effective by empowering the boards Of supervisors to prescribe adequate
