RECLAIMING ARID LANDS.
Government to Spend $4S,O00,O00
within Next Four Years

Chicago, H., March 3.-What re-
clamation by irrigation means to the
country is strongly indicated by the
recent announcement of the United
States reclamation service that s4S,-
600 900 is to be expended during the
next four years in furtherinG the
work of the government in reclaim
ing semi-arid and arid lands in the
west What an enormous amount
this is may perhaps be more easily
comprehended when it is remember
ed that it averages an expenditure
of 81 900, 900 a month.
While this expenditure would pay
for five battleships, it is in the case
of the reclamation service only a
loan to be returned to the United
States trasury and re-employed for
reclamation work. The settler on i
government project has ten years in
which to pay for his land and water,
while the returns under irrigation
are in many cases so abundant that
one or two crops will repay the cost.
The new markets thus opened are OF
great importance to merchants, man
ufacturers and financiers, causing
them to be greatly interested in the

SPECIAL NOTICE
Local Druggist Issues an Interesting
Statement.

February IA, 1911.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
We have been in receipt of num-
erous inquiries from persons who
have noticed advertisements for Gel
mo, the great British remedy for
rheumatism. sciatica, govt and other
uric acid ailments.
We desire to sag t. " elmo is
genuine English remedy, and is
guaranteed by it's makers. 1t is most
successfully used in England, where
the damp climate is productive Of
much rheumatim.
Celmo comes to America with tes-
timonials of cures from officials OF
the British government members of
the nobility, lords and ladies, army
officers from persons who never
before publicly endorsed any RENE
dy of any kind. Only deep sense %
gratitude for cures effected could
have moved them to say what they
do over their own signatures regard
ing Celmo for the treatment of rheu-
matism and other uric acid ailments,
Surely, the Earl of Pembroke, the
Earl of Galloway A. Bouree am
hassadof Of France Lady Henry
Somerset. Rev w. J. Foley. Major A.
r. Lascelles surely such men and
women would not recommend Celmo
if they were not certain that it was
most meritorious.
From our own experience We
know that Celmo is all that it is
'laimed to be. Those who have pur
biased Celmo at our store and have
used it report most satisfactory re-
suits. When given a full and fair
trial it has cured where all other
remedies have failed
After hearing reports of our cuts
toners, who have used it, we most
heartily recommend Celmo
