A CHECK TO
RHEUMATISM
d. Williams' Pink Pills Build Up
the Blood and Overcome
the Rheumatic Poisons.

Rheumatism deRes any treatment
that does not build up and purify
the blood. The poisons of rheumatism
are in the blood and 1t is only through
the blood that the disease can be fought
successfully.
Unless the blood is weak and impure,
rheumatism cannot get q foothold.
When it does the thin and impure
blood is not strong enough to overcome
the poisons alone. Unjust be strength
ened and purified. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are the best blood
building medicine you a take. They
make new blood with every dose and
promptly check further progress OF the
disease. They make the blood so pure
and strong that not the least trace of
rheumatism remains.
MI. A. Hamann, q farmer on r. F.
D. No. 2, Eldridge, Iowa, says:
II used DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People for indigestion and rheu-
matism from which I suffered for over
six years. As these attacks came on
every spring, l think they were caused
by impure blood. The rheumatism
was always more severe in my ankles
and knees and especially in my arms,
when l had been husking corn or work
ing hard. The pains were go severe
that l could hardly sleep at night. I
used liniments Of many kinds, but they
didn't do more than drive the pain to
some other part of the body and l did
not get any relief from the doctors
medicine.
"When I read about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People in our weekly
paper l made up my mind to try .
medicine that had actually cured some
one else. A few boxes cured me and I
think go much of the pills that 1 keep
them in the house to use as atomic. MY
wife finds them strengthening and we
think the pills are the best medicine for
the blood"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are the blood's greatest aid in
overcoming rheumatism, headaches,
anaemia, chlorosis, and after-efects OF
the grip and fevers.
A valuable booklet, "Diseases of tho
Blood" will be sent upon request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
al druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box;

Important to Farmers

Manhattan, KanS., June 24.-Wet
weather barriers against chinch bugs
are in order now if the corn crop is to
remain uninjnred. The unusually
frequent rains have made dry, or dust
barriers of little avail. The bugs have
not started their migration in earnest:
that will begin as soon as wheat is
out and their food has disappeared.
With this advance notice, therefore,
every farmer in the Central Kansas
corn and wheat belt, from southern
Marion county north to the Nebraska
boundary, should protect his corn.
That this can be done with the wet
weather barrier has been positively
proved.
To stop the passing of chinch bugs
it is necessary to plow ridge be-
tween the infested and non-infeSted
fields. The top of this ridge must be
smooth and it should be higher than
any nearby ground SO that no soil will
drop on it. On top of the ridge pour
an unbroken line of coal tar, road oil
or crude oil. Road oil No. s, made
only at Whiting, Ind, by the Standard
Oil Company, costs S3. so barrel 1t
pas proved satisfactory as a barrier
over which the bugs will not pass.
The oil line should be at least three
fourthS of an inch wide, and may
best be poured from an old tea kettle.
OF course the oil must be kept liquid.
Every break in the line must be
quickly repaired. Post holes every
fifteen or twenty feet, on the infest-
ed hield sids, are effective in trapp-
ing the bugs.
The ridge may be made ith an or
binary breaking plow or lister by
throwing two burrows or listers to-

not be denied, but. the wisdom of

When all is said and done, the un-
alterable fact remains that the funda-
mental principles and policies of Re
publicanism involve the very perpetu-
alton of national prosperity, if not
the perpetuity of American institut-
ions themselves. The evils that may
have crept in during SO many decades
of almost uncontested supremacy will
be corrected, but they will be correct
ed by Republicans and not by Demo-
Gratis. The remedy will be applied by
skilful healers, desiring the perfect
health of the party and the country,
not by muderouS quacks- The
policies which have dominated the
party and which have been ratified by
the AmSrican people quadrennially
since the Civil war, with two ill-advis-
ed exceptions, have been splendidly
and vigorously affirmed by the plat
form upon which President Taft goes
before the people Those policies
are not bound up in quarrels of con-
testing delegates. They have moth
ing to do with alleged steam rollers, -
even admitting there was ever any
real merit in the fraudulent contests
that were brought by the Roosevelt
partisans.
The Republicans of the country
will face their hereditary and their
acquired political adversaries with
their old time fearlessness, keeping
step to the old music of Republican
ism, with perhaps new note of con-
servative progress. They will cast
out whatever jeopardises the whole

telligent peCp,e. They will go again

There are lots of mills and factor
les here, and at few of them they
have considerable trouble with their

satisfaction seems to be in most of
the laboring people. The governor of
this state, Harmon, seems to have no
friends among laborers and the laws
of the state favor factory owners in
stead of the laborers, l have been
bit surprised at some of them especi-
lally as to accidents in factories and
shops.
The weather has been quite dry for

MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, June 25,
1912. Eight thousand cattle estimat=
ed for today had to be raised later to
nine thousand. Added to the $1,000
head received yesterday it makes the
biggest two day total in several
months. Prices are sharply lower on
middle and low grades of cattle.
Steers in the native division of
value above S7.O0, and those in the
quarantine division worth $500 and
upwards have not suffered great
deal, but steers under those figures
are off 30 to so cents from last week
Top cattle are not any lower, and a
message sent to a big shipper of the
best quarantine cattle now coming
said his kind were strong today. Some
little Oklahoma grass steers sold in
the quarantine division today at So. 10
that brought s.. so last week. Declines
of similar severity occurred in the
native division, and dealers say it is
not so much break as it is a readiust-
ment of values, that the cattle were
to high last week. The quarantine
run is on in full force, 283 cars here
yesterday from below the line, and 81
cars today, with a. big run in sight
for the balance of the week. Top
sales in the native division ranged
from $500 to 1925 today, including
some mixed yearlings at the latter
price, though good heavy steers are
eligible to anything up to SO. 40. Some
half fat feeders were bought yester-
day at 800 to S7.75, but regular feed
ers stopped at Sc. 90, and stock steers
native cows sell at 500 to S6.75, and
the heifers at IS. IS to $500, best bulls
6.OO, top vealS $500.
Hogs at ten lower today, top 81. 10,
bulk s7.45 to s7.65, light weights only

largest supply in two weeks, and a
factor in the weakness of the market.
Combined receipts at the five leading
western markets continue to fall off
from the figures of a year ago, though
the total for this year to date is 535,
900 head more than same period last
