UTILIZE ALL THE GROUND.

There is enough land on the IaTns
of this country that is not productive
because it has not been propaI}
drained to cause serious consideration
Going about the country at any time
during the year one sees on almost
every farm low, wet spots that in or
binary years do not produce anything
because they are too wet to plant any
thing in the spring. Such spots ar,
almost without exception the most
fertile spots on the farm when drain
ed. 1t is not uncommon to find two
or three acres of such land on ihe
farm so situated that it would not c)@'

days. On the other hand a series of
calamities, dark, dire, and dreadful,
are promised if the recipient doesn't

hope Of reward are both held out as
incentives to literary labor. The

If your Stomach, Heart or Kid
neys are weak, try at least, few
doses only of DR.. Shops Restora-
tive. In five or ten days only, the
result will surprise you. A few
cents will cover the cost. And here
is why help comes SO quickly. DR..
Shoop doesn't drug the Stomach,
nor stimulate the Heart or Kidneys.
DR.. Shops Restorative goes direct
ly to the weak and failing nerves.
Each organ has its own controlling
nerve. When these nerves fail, the
depending organs must of necessity
falter. This plain, yet vital truth,
clearly tells why Dr.. Shops Re

Its success is leading druggists every

have had two years of a modern Ian
guage. This certainly includes Span
ish as we'll as French and German
Why, then, should not the board OF
education establish a chair OF Span
ish and let the pupils acquire a lam
guage which will more than likely
prove useful to them?
We hear the arguments, French
is the polite language of Europe
and "There is much of literature
and science locked up in the Ger
man." but precious few of our stu
dents learn anything about the po-
lite language and none has yet sue
ceeded in getting at the literary and

man. For all practical purposes it
would be vastly better to give the
Washington boy course in Chi

it would prove useful.
