TONE Up The
STOMACH
How Most Cases Of
Indigestion May
Be Cured.

In the human body, when the blood
becomes thin and impure, the different
organs fail to do their work properly.
One of the first to fail is the stomach
and right here most sufferers from inn
pure blood make a serious mistake.
They imagine because their digest on
is poor, that something is wrong with
the stomach itself A reduction in the
amount of nourishment taken often
makes matters worse.
The truth in such cases is that the
stomach is failing to do its work we'll
because it is not receiving a sufficient
supply of pure, red blood.
Such a sufferer should take thorough
treatment for the blood with DR.. Will
Iams' Pink Pills for Pale People. These
pills actually make new, red blood and
give strength and tone to the entire
system.
Mr.. Albert J. Smell, whose address is
r. F. D. No. SO, Bemus Point, Chau-
tauqua Co., N. Y, says:
''My stomach became out of. order

rapid eating. My appetite was so poor

letter which clears up some OF the I'M
certainties concerning the account

In your weekly issue of February
20, 1912, you publish portion OF the
"accounts of George Washington with
the United States" and say it was
photographed from the original book
of accounts by Joseph Whitley and
that the book was destroyed afterwards
in the San Francisco fire. Now if this
were true it would be great loss, but

taken in the matter. Several years

Former Baraboo Resident
Tells of Conditions in
Lone Star State.

The following letter is from c. I'll.
Lee, for many years prosperous Bar
aboo hardware merchant. He writes
as follows:
Our half cord of wood we bought
when we first came is not gone yet.
The doors and windows are all open
as [ write. Our peas and corn are
about three inches high and water
melons are being plented now. There
are about 100 acres to be planted this
week at this place. Mr.. Schubring
and myself are planting seven acres.
The winter has been unusually cold
here as we'll as IN Wisconsin. They
usually have strawberries at this time
but this year they are backward. 1t
seems warm to us who have never
been here to live in winter, but the old
timers here say there has never been
out one winter as cold as this. We
get Lhe last end of cold srells you have
up there. The wind turns to the north
very suddenly and for about two days
il will be chilly. Then the wind will
turn south and it warns up quickly.
Ev. n on the coolest Gays it is warm in
the sun if you get out OF the wind.
The wind blows very strong here some
times, but is so steady that it d )es no
harm. We miss the hills and trees
very much Wisconsin is all right eX
cept that we do not like the long, cold
winters.
If anyone feels inclined to kick
about fire insurance up there, let tnem1
come here and see where we pay 81
and So per tn usand for three
Aeus, down here it is $l1 to SIS
per thous md for one year. Merchan-
Use stocks ale $35 per thousand. Taxes
are very low though.
Eggs are Is CENTS butter 30; flour
about the same as at BaraboO; sugar
The same; hardware out of sight; nails
SO. so per keg or 5 cents per pound;
Iumb is cheaper than up north, all
southern pine and cypress. Our little
cottage is sided with cypress and has
cypress doors.
CaLtl1, horses and hogs all run at
large and III y look small and of poor
gu atty compared TO Wisconsin stock.
Farmers use mules mostly. The peo
pie are alb ut all from the north and
from most every sta e; Iowa and Kan
sas people in the majority. The main
crops are rice, cotton, corn, watermel- |
Ons ana garden stuff. There are ltts
of figs, oranges, peaches, grapes and
other fruit being set out, bat tnis part
is so lew that they are not bearing |
much yet. This was a large stock |
ranch until about TWO years ago. 1t
takes some time to get the sod in shape
fer any crop. 1t looks To me as if this
would be one of the finest farming
countries / ever saw, as the soil is very
rich. The price of land is TOO high
with no Improvements on it. Some
have come here expecting too IL UGH at
the start and these are the people who
20 away and say the country is no
good. Anyone who comes here wants
enough to live on for two years: until
they can get things started, unless
they buy farm that has been Guilt
valed.
We are all well and Robert is feeling
fine and is getting quite fat for him.
This community has fine lot of peo-
pie. No one locks up anything and
no one loses anything by stealing.
Most every body goes to church.
Well, this is enough for this time, so
goodbye.
