When You Build

The Miracle double air space concrete
building block is without doubt tho best
building material that has ever been put
on the market Mr.. A. L. Miracle. OF
Minneapolis, is the inventor of the block.
There have been many attempts to imi-
tate the air space feature of this block,
but all have failed, AS the block is pat
ented, and of course the rights to make
this block have to be secured from the
company direct. In view OF the good
block they make they charge double
what any other manufacturer charges
for their machines to make the blocks
with. In Spokane there are at least
half dozen block manufacturers MAX
ing cement building blocks. But the
concern selling the most blocks is the
Spokane Concrete Co. They use the
Miracle double air space block. All Of
our blocks are cured by the steam cure
process, which has been found by ex-
perts to make the best block. The
warm, moist steam penetrates the block
and it is cured with an even tempera-
ture, which is impossible where the
blocks are sprinkled with cold water
| and sometimes parts Of the blocks
missed. As to price, we can make you
any price blocks that you want. A
| cheap block will not have as much CO.
ment in it as good block. We compete
| with lumber, brick and stone. Our new
plant, which will be finished this week,
is the most up-to-date plant in the state
OF Washington or Idaho. If you are
thinking OF building call for Charles F.
CT aig at the First National Bank.

Bids Referred to Next Meeting

At the regular meeting OF the city
council Tuesday evening all members OF
the council except Willard. and the
mayor were present
The mayor reported that the commit
tee appointed for the purpose had VISITED
the garbage dumping grounds, and found
that the /. & W. n. had reason for the
complaint made at the last meeting, as
garbage had been dumped all over their
right-of-way. He further reported that
arrangements had been made for fenc-
ing the grounds and repairing the road
into and over the grounds and that no
further objection was anticipated.
For the building of six crosswalks on
Union avenue only one bid was pre-
sented that of F. W. Kimmel. Mr..
Kimme offered to build the walks Tor
the sum of 500 each, and his bid was
considered satisfactory and accepted.

and on motion the bids were referred to

Free Delivery for Anthony.

Anthony-The establishment of
free delivery of mail in Anthony may
now be looked forward to with some
degree of certainty. AS was an
nounced some months ago the volume
of business done at the Anthony post
office under the rules of the postoffice
department now entities the city TO
force of mail carriers.
The government, however, requires
that the city must properly mark or
name the intersections of all streets
and number the houses. For some
reason these matters have been de-
layed until this week, when a city en-
ploye was put to work putting up the
street signs.
Sixty days is required to advertise
and arrange for a civil service exam
ination after the city is ready, so it is
reasonable to look for the free deliv-
cry of mail in Anthony about the first
of next February.

5000 Acres of Broom Corn.

Liberal.-R. J. Terwilliger and SON
in-law, Madison Edison, have entered

large scale. Over in Stevens county
Mr.. Terwilliger owns a ranch of many
broad acres, and the gentlemen are
planning to utilize three thousand
acres for the purpose of raising broom
corn. Work to prepare the ground
will begin this fall.
A 45-horse power gasoline engine
with a string of from twelve to four
teen plows will be employed to do the
work. Mr.. Edison is enthused with
the idea He says when the sod Is
turned there need be no further cul-
tivation before the seed is planted.

Medicine Lodge and Alfalfa.

Medicine Lodge.-Medicine Lodge
IS becoming an alfalfa center. At the
present rate OF increase the bottom
lands along the Medicine and Sharon
creek valleys will soon sell at from
500 to $125 an acre. Mr.. William
Palmer, who has this season sown
much land to alfalfa and who has
been watching the growth of alfalfa
for fifteen years, declares that aver
age land seeded to alfalfa will pay at
least 8 per cent on the investment of
$3.50 per acre.
1t has been observed that some of
the best stands of alfalfa have been
produced on land seeded as late as
Oct. 10th.
A Galesburg, ILL.,, man bought in
1906 800 acres five miles east of Med
icine Lodge for $4,000. and sold it
two weeks ago for $4,000 without
putting any improvements on It in
that time.
Six years ago a man purchased near
this city 100 acres for 81 900. Though
a railroad has since passed through It,
leaving only $50 acres. the owner has
recently refused $4,000 for the land.
This man cleared $4,000 from 1t in
1907 when alfalfa seed sold high.

Successful Woman Farmer.

Arkansas City.-It is not every place
that can boast of a woman who
raises 20 bushels of corn to the acre.
This community has such a woman,
however. Last spring Mrs. George
Bacastow concluded she would raise
a crop of corn. Her husband let her
have an acre of ground for that pur-
pose, and the ground was put in con-
dition under Mrs. Bacastow's direc-
ton. Then she planted and covered
the seed. When the corn came up she
cultivated ii. hoeing it herself and
keeping the weeds out.
One day last week Mrs. Bacastow
and a boy went into her cornfield and
shucked the corn. When the work
was finished she had just 20 bushels
of corn. which entitled her to the blue
ribbon in Cowley county as a woman
corn raiser.

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid of "Coffee Heart"

The injurious action of Coffee on the
heart of many persons is we'll known
by physicians to be caused by caf-
feline. This is the drug found by chem
lists in coffee and tea.
A woman suffered long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof-
fee, as that was the principal cause
of the trouble. She writes:
MY heart was so weak it could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
l would never breathe again.
"The doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said l must stop it, but it seemed l
could not give it up until | was down
in bed with nervous prostration.
For eleven weeks l lay there and
suffered. Finally Husband brought
home some Postum and | quit coffee
and started new and right. Slowly l
got well. Now do not have any head
aches, nor those spells with weak
heart. We know it is Postum that
helped me. The DR.. said the other day.
I never thought you would be what
you are used to weigh go pounds
and now l weigh 1853.
Postum has done much for me and
