ATTACK LIKE TIGERS

In fighting to keep the blood pure
the white corpuscles attack disease
germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply so fast that 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 bloed.
"They are the best blood purifiers, ]"
writes G. T. Budahn, of Trancy, CAL,
IT have ever found" They make rich
red blood, strong nerves and build up
your health. Try them. 500 at b. F.

colcede that the railroads did con-
tribute to that campaign, would
ask Mr. Ellyson did the money for
this campaign come into his hands to
be distributed officially, Or did it go
into private hands to be distributed,
as was done by Mr.. Thompson and
others in 1S91-1893? Mr.. Ellyson
nowhere as erts or intimates that
this was done; 50 Ily skirts are clean
as respects this particular campaign,
according to his sworn statement.
en-. Ellyson again renews his at
tack upon the campaign of 1901,
when l was nominee for Governor.
On the 18th of last month / made
public statement that Mr.. Ellyson
told me that the railroads had not
and would not contribute to that
campaign. l also said in a news
paper interview at the same time that
Mr.. Ellyson had substantially said
the same thing to Captain Willard
the nominee for Lieutenant Cover
nor Mr.. Ellyson made no reply to
my statement or interview, but after
the lapse of five weeks he now writes
that l said to him I thought they
(railroads) ought to help l deny
saying this, and affirm that each and
every word of it is without the semb-
lance of truth. 1 also deny using
the language in connection with
Captain Willard which Mr.. Ellyson
with unparalleled accuracy puts in
quotation.
"Mr. Ellyson asserts that the cam
paign of 1901 was the most expen-
sive we have had for many years.
This can only be determined by full
examination of all contributions and
distributions. Many Legislative
seats were contested; the Republic
cans made the strongest opposition
that had been made for some years;
the Constitutional Convention was in
session, necessarily demoralizing and
estranging voters from the party;
the Democratic organization through
out the State was Indifferent to my
candidacy; the two leaders of the
organization, Mr.. Martin and Mr..
Swanson, were in Europe, and did
not return until about two weeks be-
fore the election; and my friends
were bringing me news from every
quarter of the treachery of the Or
ganization. Necessarily, therefore,
in the two or three conversations
(for these were all that l had with
Mr.. Ellyson) 1 expressed solicitude
about the outcome.
CAS- to my congratulations of Mr.. Ell
Tyson upon his election to the chair
manship during this campaign, will

We commend the foregoing article
to the careful consideration of every
thinking man in this community.
We submit that the time has come to
bring the political grandstand play
that has been going on for some
months In Washington to close.
We need, not only in our nation
al affairs, but in Our state and NUM-
c1pal affairs also, more statesmen and
fewer politicians. The same princi-
pie applies to every phase of govern
ment. Too long have the brainy
business men of the country stood
aloof from political questions, many
of them declining to take any part
therein. But the time has come for
them to speak out and take a hand
II our nation is to preserve it bust
ness integrity and retain the proud
position she now holds at the head
OF the commercial and financial
world.
In our opinion no class of people
will suffer more from all this "clap-
trap" at Washington, the RESPONSE
b1l1ty for which will be laid on the
Democratic party, than the farmer.
For years he struggled against odds,
and only In recent years has he been
able to realize living prices for his
products. If, however. all this nom
sensical Washington crusade is not
summarily stopped, and the large in
dustrial and railroad corporations al
lowed to go ahead with their busi-
ness, free from the attacks of greedy
penniless politicians, the farmer may
reasonably expect the prices of 1896
to prevail.
The antitrust movements has gone
too far. The pendulum ia out of

KEEPING BULBS OVER WINTER
To Grow We'll Following Spring When
They Are Planted They Must Be
Given Special Care.

For bulbs to keep well over winter
and grow well the following spring or
summer when they are planted they
must have special care before storing.
First, as soon as the stalks have been
killed by frost cut them of few inch
es above the ground. The bulbs or
tubers will have matured before this
time and they cannot secure more
nourishment from the frosted and dead
stems. Injury may result If the frost
ed stems are allowed to remain. Let
the bulbs and tubers remain In the
soil till late in the fall or till just be-
fore the ground begins to freeze hard.
They will keep better In their natural
home in the soil, under normal mois
the soil. II the soil becomes very wet
after the first frosts, then 1t will be
better to dig them Immediately.
Select bright, clear weather for dig
ging the bulbs. Begin the work in the
morning after the dew Is off the dead
grass. Lift the clump or single bulb
with a garden spade, being careful not
to injure any of the underground
parts, shake off any excess of adher
ing soil and lay the tubers and bulbs
on the dry ground for summing. If the
ground is wet or very damp place dry
straw or leaves under them so that
they will dry on all sides. At night
protect them with straw, canvas or
some covering to keep out dampness
and prevent possible freezing. Uncov-
er them each morning for exposure to
air and sun and let them cure in this
manner from three to five days. Be
sure that any soil that may be remain
ing on them is perfectly dry before
they are placed in storage.

MAKE CONCRETE WATER TANK
Directions for Making Large Reespsa-
Gle That 10 Not Apt to Crack
During Winter.

In reply to a request for directions
for making concrete water tanks
about twelve feet long. three feet
wide and two and one-half feet deep,
the Breeders Gazette publishes the
following:
Excavate until solid bottom is
reached. or say twelve inches, and
fill in six inches with gravel or cin-
ders packed solidly. Then I'LL with
wet concrete to depth of four
inches and on this place the forms.
The outside form should be perpen.
dicular. and the inside form ten inches
smaller on each side at the bottom
and five inches smaller on each side
at the top for tank two feet deep,
so that the wall will be Ave inches
thick at the top and ten inches at the
bottom. BY making 1t in this way It
is not only stronger, but freezing In
winter will not be apt to crack It, as
the Ice can expand upward.
The mixture may be made of one
part cement, two of sand and four
of crushed stone, or II of gravel with
about one-third sand, one barrel OF
cement to one yard of gravel. Mix
wet or sloppy" and fill in at once
and all should be done before the
bottom is thoroughly set. OF course
the forms should be made tight and
well braced and around the top 1t
might be well to place two strands OF
large wire, say No. or No. 6. Place
these about two inches from the top
and outside. After one day take out
the inside form and wash the inside
with a mixture of one part cement
and two of sand, spreading II on
thickly with whitewash brush.
Keep it covered from the hot sun until
filled with water which may be done
in two or three days

be put in place before placing the
bottom. A good way for the overflow

top, Just level with the floor, then the
overflow pipe will screw into this and
be made as long as the depth Of water

days.
