The Iowa weather and crop ser
vice bulletin for the week ending July
5, has just been issued as follows:
The week was unseasonably cool. the
average temperature being about Z de-
grees below the normal. The rainfall
was also less than the normal except
in the south central and southeastern
counties, where it was heavy and of
daily occurrence The frequent rains
prevented haying and harvesting In
the southern counties and the cold
weather retarded the growth of corn.
However, good progress Was made in
cultfvating corn over the central and
northern counties and the crop is
thrifty though backward and with
warm weather will make rapid growth.
Some fall wheat and rye was cut, but
over most of the area where the grain
is ripe there was too much rain to do
any harvesting. Showery weather
also retarded ripening of grain and
prevented the curing of clover hay.
Potatoes. garden truck and fruit, es-
pecially apples, are in excellent con-
dition.

Against Sudden Death.

Before an Insurance Company will
take q risk on your life the examining
physician will test the urine and report
whether you are good risk. When
your kidneys get sluggish and clog,
you suffer from backache, sick head
ache, dizzy spells, or the twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and
govt. The urine is often cloudy, full
of sediment; channels often get sore
and sleep is disturbed two or three
times a night. This is the time you
should consult some physician of wide
experience-such as DR.. Pierce of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y. Send him 10 cents for
sample package of his new discovery,
rAnuric." Write him your symptoms
and send sample of urine for test.
Experience has taught DR.. Pierce that
"Anuric is the most powerful agent
in dissolving uric acid, as hot water
melte sugar; besides being absolutely
harmless it is endowed with other
properties, for it preserves the kidneys
in healthy condition by thoroughly
cleansing them. Being SO many times
more active than lithia, it clears the
heart valves of any sandy substances
which may clog them and checks the
degeneration of the blood vessels, as
well as regulating blood pressure.
"Anuric" is regular insurance and
life-saver for all big meat eaters and those
who deposit lime-salts in their joints.
Ask the druggist for "Anuric" put up
by DR.. Pierce, in 50-cent packages.

one Of the shrewdest women of her

Ferdinand his chance. Bulgaria was
left without a ruler and as nobody
else seemed willing to touch the job,
Ferdinand took it.
Ferdinand went to Sofia by river,
In secret, at night in August, 1887. We

he would make good. He was only

The perturbation OF "Zaza" by the
Famous Players Film company, which
is now appearing on the Paramount
program at the Grand tonight and to-
morrow, with Pauline Frederick in
the celebrated title role, recalls to
mind that at the time that Mrs. Les
lie Carter made her appearance in the
role several years ago, the New York
dramatic critics declared that she was
the one woman on the American stage
who could have successfully played
the part. It has always been asso-
ciated with the great French actresses
Rejane and Bernhard, and 1t is there
fore OF more than passing interest to
find an actress who is willing to brave
comparison on the screen with the
work OF the distinguished women
who have made the role famous on
the stage.
Deprived OF the important medium
of the voice, Miss Frederick must rely
utterly upon the power Of pantomime,
an art at which the French have al
ways been 'adepts. But those who
have seen the great screen artist in
her wonderful emotional interpreted

It is also stated that Mr. Bowen is a personal friend of Secretary Lane Mir. Bowen denies the first allegation but pleads guilty to the second indictment. He came on the same boat as Mir.
