IMMENSE WHEAT CROP;

Needs of Other Countries and Scar
city of Corn to Offset
Abundance.

Despite a wheat crop estimate this
year of 93O.0h0.0oo bushels. the largest
on record. no hope is held out by the De
pavtment of Agriculture for greatly re-
duced prices. Such a large crop would
augur very low prices. according to a
statement today, We're il not that the
world crops of wheat and competing
grains do no. promise more than the
average of recent years Besides more
than the usual diversion of wheat from
its use as food to the use of feed for live
stock may be expected because of the
present relatively short supply of corn in
sections where there is promise of
abundant wheat.
With corn selling in Kansas for about
cents more per bushel than wheat. it IS
not surprising. officials say. that much
wheat should be consumed as feed by
animals. Kansas corn crop last year
was only 123.noo,NOo bushels compared
with the usual production of 15h,Vn."A0

Poisons That Irritate

When the delicate machinery of the
body is not working tremendously,
poisons are retained that should be ex-
PEELED. These may accumulate in the
tissues and cause irritation. Should
this irritation affect joints or muscles
you have rheumatism; if nerve be-
comes infiamed you have neuralgia.
But If the system is kept toned up
with Dr. Williams Pink Pills and no
body poisons are retained, foods that
once distressed you will be harmless,
exposure will bring no rheumatism and
neuralgia and even germ diseases need
hardly be dreaded.
The lowering of the tone OF the sys-
tenn which results from thin blood is
easy to recognize. Weakness is al
ways present, tendency to perspire
and fatigue easily, ringing in the ears,
black spots passing before the eyes.
weak back, dizziness, wakefulness and
undressing sleep. These conditions
DR.. Williams Pink Pills will correct.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills build up the
blood and strengthen the nerves. In
this way the general health is i'm
proved. the appetite increases, and
new ambition and energy developed.
These pills are sold by all druggists.

Local People 10 Leave Friday

Funeral Services for the Late Mrs.
Mary F. Walton Held

The second day Of the Fair given
in the Acme theater by the Ladies'
Aid of the First Universalist church
resulted in an equally successful out
come as the first, if not a little more
so. From 2 o'clock in the afternoon
until midnight the theater was the
center of continual commotion. In
the afternoon card party was held,
which proved to be an attraction for
many, while the sale was continued
until the evening.
The program for the evening, how
ever, was even better than that of
the previous night and met with I'M
limited applause from those in attend
ance. Shortly before s O'Clock the pa
irons and patronesses began to file
into the hall and ushered to their
tables and from then on the occasion
was certainly one to be remembered
and was undoubtedly the largest So
cial event of the season. The Cafe
Cbatant." as the event was called,
was originated to initiate as near as
possible a Partisan cafe, and was
somewhat similar to the Jardin de
Danse. recently held in Augusta, al
though many novelties were introduce
ed last evening that added a touch of
originality to the affair. Mrs. NJ NJ
Johnson and Mrs. C. II. Howard were
the instigators of the Cafe Chantant''
and much of the credit for its success
is deserved by them. A delightful pro-
gram was carried out as the affair
proceeded, which included the Ped

trio of Colby students in comedy spe-

CONSTIPATION
IS DANGEROUS
Pinklets, the New Laxative, Really Do
Correct Il.

Correct II.
The sufferer from constipation is
distressed after eating, gas forms on
the stomach, the abdomen has a feel
ing of pressure and weight and is hard
and distended.
The blood soon absorbs poisons that
should have been expelled and loss of
flesh shows that the body is being
poorly nourished. Headaches become
frequent, the patient is drowsy, irrita-
BILE and sometimes faint.
Pinklets, the new laxative pills, do
not wear out their effect before ac-
complishing their work of correcting
constipation, because they do not
stimulate the bowels to over exertion.
They assist nature so gently that the
action is regular and thorough, yet
without gripping. Pinklets put the
liver, stomach and bowels in har-
monious, perfect working order.
A short trial of Pinklets will con-
vince you that they are the ideal laxa-
tive. Every druggist can now supply
you with Pinklets at 25 cents per bot
tie. Write to the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co, Schenectady, N. Y, for a
Pinklet book telling all about the
treatment of constipation.-Adv.
