counties of the state have exhibits
there, a record equalled by no home
state having an Exposition within
its borders. Our exhibit will bring
as much notice and compares favor
ably with any of them and every
visitor to the Fair from this section
will have full justification in point
ing it out and making it meeting
place and headquarters for his
party. We suggest that Kennewick
Richland and the east end of the
county send man over to repre-
sent the claims and advantages of
our region to the inquirer. 1t is
worth taking up to see what can
be done. The commissioner from
this end of the county, c. A. l-undy
would make a good man for this
work, S. T. Laird or G. E. Hanson
have also been suggested. The
question should be given some con-
sideration and permanent repre-
sentative secured. A wise selection
could easily lie made.

Fire started in the A. J. Barhan

Mrs. Huntington was fumigating

ness connected with the Exposition
exhibit. The Benton county booth
is in an excellent location, is at
tractively arranged to show the
fruits and products to the best ad-
vantage, and is bringing many Fair
visitors to it to make inquiry about
the county.
We notice that the fresh vege-
tables and grains sent over for dis
play are arousing favorable COM
ment. The Yakima Herald says in
an article urging the ranchers of
that county to bring in more vege-
tables and grains says that Benton
county is surprising the mother

states that they are proving to be
the very best advertisement and
showing for Us. Inasmuch as the
Commission stand ready to pay Wei

see to it that h exhibit. are con-

compares very favorably with

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
Il 10 An Internal Disease And Requires
An Internal Remedy.

The cause of Rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be FORM
ed in excessive quantities Rheumatism
is an internal disease and requires an
internal remedy. Rubbing with Oils and
Liniments will not cure. affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you to
delay the proper treatment, and allows
the malady to get firmer hold on you.
Liniments may ease the pain, but they
will no more cure Rheumatism than
paint will change the fibre of rotten
wood.
Science has at last discovered per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
"Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of
cases, it has effected the most marvellous
cures; we believe it will cure you. Rheu-
macide gets at the joints from the in
side," sweeps the poisons out of the
system, tones up the stomach, regulates
the liver and kidneys and makes you
well all over. Rheumacide strikes the
root of the disease and removes its
cause" This splendid remedy is sold
