Charles Andrae of Ellinwood
Has, is one of the prosperous
farmers of Barton county. In
that part of the state farmers are
very prosperous and are making
money very fast. They have been
raising bumper crops for several
years, and have been selling ev-
erything they had at a very high
price. I'VE are in the great
wheat belt" saidM r. Andrae.
There is where wheat is raised
on a big scale. Everybody raises
wheat out where | am and lots Of
it. And right now the wheat is
growing. very fast. The prospect
for a big crop is certainly very
promising. If we raise a big
wheat crop this season, l do not
know what the farmers are 90.
ing to do with all their money.
For several months they have
been selling off their old wheat
When it got up around the dolla.
mark they began to let it 90. The
price passed the dollar mark, and
the movement increased. And
now wheat brings SIPS a bushel,
which is the highest perhaps it
ever sold at out there. They
have not been selling it because
they were hard up, but because
that very high price was paid
them. With all the old wheat out
Of the country, it looks very
much as though We would have
high prices still another year. Of
course if a big crop is raised in
other countries it may affect us.
We have no pests of any kind,
and everything is just right for
the wheat now. Of course a great
many things can happen between
now and harvest time, and even
after it is cut can be spoiled by
too much rain. "-Drovers' Tele-

The post norton statistics of
big New York hospitals show
some cases of consumption are-du
to unchecked dyspepsia, especial
ly when the victim was predis-
posed to tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body
and brain, the weakened irritable
stomach is unable to digest food,
the body does not receive the re-
quired nOurishment, constipation
ensues and the victim becOmeS-thi
weak and haggard. As a result
the body becomes a fertile field
for the germs of disease to lodge
and flourish.
Therefore, the person who per
mits dyspepsia to progress unhin-
dered is guilty of contributing to-
ward the development of one o.
the most inSidious and fatal dis.
eases known to mankind.
Dyspepsia is durable if properly
a remedy which they positively
treated. The Hooper Drug Co.

ly guarantee will cure Indigestion
or dyspepsia or they will pay
