Attack Like Tigers.

In fighting to keep the blood pure
the white corpuscles attack disease
germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply so fast the little fighters are
overcome. Then see pimples. boils,
eczema, salt-rheum and sores multiply
and strength and appetite fail. This
condition demands Electric Bitters to
regulate stomach, liver and kidneys
and to expel poisons from the blood.
They are the best blood purifier

red blood, strong nerves and build up

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced il incurable Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken

Seed Inspection.

The matter OF good seed has never
received much attention from 0klaho-
ma farmers. Individual farmers in the
state have paid some attention to seed
breeding, but vast majority have
been content To use any mill or GIN
run seed that they had on hand. If
they had no seed on hand at planting
time they went to the local elevator
gin or feed store, and purchased "seed'
that perhaps was OF several varieties.
and might have been more than one
year old In instances OF this kind f,
the dealer is not to blame. A dealer
usually tries to keep on hand the qual
ity OF merchandise that the buyer de-
mands, and the farmers have not yet
created demand for pure seed, sufii-
cient to force the dealers to keep good
seed on hand, or to warrant them pay
ing Che larger price necessary to Sc
cure good seed. In this instance, the
fault lies primarily with the farmer.
However, another condition is growing
up in the state where the fault lies in
the greed and dishonesty of certain
class OF "seed dealers" and seed ped
dlers. These men, realizing that many
farmers are awakening to the import
ance of good seed. are advertising for
sale, seed of fabulous purity and pro-
ductiveness, at exhorbitant prices. In
many instances, this wonderful seed
is Of the poorest quality possible, and
the farmer who purchases IL, is not
only defrauded, but his faith in tn,
value of good seed is badly shaken and
he is thereafter apt to content himself
with seed grown on his own farm, nc
matter how poor the quality.
For the protection of both the far.
mers and the honest seed growers, a.
well as to encourage seed breeding
within the state, the Board of Agri.
culture last fall devised plan of seed
inspection which may be taken advan
tage OF by farmers who wish to hav,
the approval of the department. on seet
which they have for sale. This in
spection Is not mandatory, but is mere
ly Tor the protection of both buyers anC
sellers of seed.
Briefly, the plan is this: any boni
iide farmer in the state having seet
for sale, may have same inspected b.
the Agricultural Department by payinj
the cost OF the inspection. II the seeC
is found to be OF good quality and re
liable, a certificate of inspection viii
be issued to the grower. A list o
those having inspected seed for sal,
will be published in the Press BulletiI
of the Board OF Agriculture. and print
ed lists will be sent out to all inquir
ere.
The advantages of inspection ar,
two-fold. The grower will have proc
that his seed is reliable, and the far
mer or scotsman who purchases tn,
seed will be protected against fraud.
Farmers having good seed for sal
should at once have some inspected
as the lists OF seed growers for thi
year are now being prepared. Inquir
les as to growers of good seed reacl
the Department every day and it i
imperative to complete the lists as sool
as possible.

Child Bitten by Vicious Dog.

While passing the residence of
DR.. j. A. VanSant on her way to
school Thursday morning, Nellie,
the little twelve-year- old daughter
of Dan Holleran, was attacked by
a bull dog belonging to one of DR..
VanSant's sons. The dog grabbed
the child by the left leg, badly
biting the muscle below the
knee. Several men, who were
passing, pulled the dog from the
child, but ne jerked away and
again grabbed her, badly lacerat-
ing her foot. Ii took some time to
beat him off the child. We are in
formed that this is the second
time the dog had attacked the lit
tie girl.
The child was carried into DR..
VanSant's residence for medical
attention. The dog was immedi-
ately killed.

Game Reported Plentiful.

With only three weeks inter

opens, sportsmen and hunters ev-
erywhere are making preparations
for one of the biggest seasons in
many years. The woods and
fields this fall will be fairly alive
with sportsmen, for the word
has gone out all over the State
that game is more plentiful this
year than ever before.
Dry weather during the summer
has been favorable to the young
birds, and as consequence the
familiar call of the quail can be
heard on every side in regions
that quail were never before known
to inhabit.
