PIMPLY PEOPLE PERS|STENTLY
 PRAISE NEW PRODUCT OF PLANTS Wilderb Treatment Continues to Win Here!

When the stomach is diseased it bute what we eat and the blood is therefore poorly fed and is lacking in vital force. Because of this anemia of the blood the organs of the body nourishment and a general run down system results, including poor blood. headaches, nervousness. indigestion and constipation.
 This fermentation in the stomach sometimes develops a similar condi- ton in the kidneys, liver and bowels as the poisons created are transmit ted by the blood to every nook and cranny' of the system. Nature tries hard to pass these poisons, gases and toxins, but when they do not pass out through their natural channels fast enough-the bowels and kidneys they are forced out through the skin in the shape of pimples, boils, blotches, eczema and other skin dis eases. 1noSo 0XCST1OT ulSIlS are tell tale indications of the terrible scourge within the body. The skin is being pushed into service that rightfully belongs to the kidneys, bowels and liver. Imagine virulent poisons trying to pass out through the pores of the skin. Eczema, rashes, boils and pimples and such blood dis orders are natures warnings of the accumulation of foreign matter in the system.
 Wilderbs Gull extract) the new su- ! per-tonic is proving in hundeds of such cases to be a balm to these dis dressing afflictions.- It soothes and tones the organs of elimination, gent 1y assists them to perform their work and urges the poisons out of the sys- sStem in a natural way. The circulation of the blood is increased and the skin becomes smooth and fresh again.

Printing 200 Per Cent. Higher.
AS an example Of the increased
cost of the present campaign, Mr..
Morgenthau said that the printing
bill alone would be three times as
much as it was in 1912 because of
the increased price of paper. He an
nounced that contributions thus far
received exceeded by 5 per cent.
those which had been sent in up to
the same date in 1912. There have
been several contributions of $10,-

ONLY SINGLE VOTE APART.
Cats and Knott Close in Guberna-
tOrial Contest.

+ Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 28.-But
one vote separated w. V. Knott and
Sidney J. Cats today in the contest
for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination of Florida, according to
figures announced by Knott head
quarters here today. The one vote
was in favor of Mr.. Knott, who now
holds the certificate of nomination
as a result of the recanvass by the
State canvassing board last week.
At that time Mr. Knott was declared
entitled to the certificate of nomina-
ton, which since June 6 had been
held by Sidney J. Cats, by lead of
21 votes. Since that time further
recounts have been made to increase
Mr.. Knott's lead, but it has been de-
creased
These figures are based on the as
sumption that Mr.. Cats will secure
the SO votes in Alachua precinct No.
8, which were not counted for him
in the original count because the in
spectors failed to sign the returns.
The vote for all other candidates ex-
cept those for governor were counted
and now that Cats is petitioning the
court that he be given credit for
them it is expected that the vote will
be included in his total.

When the father turned on him he
is said to have grabbed a shotgun

Death was instantaneous.

Kearse, Oct. 3.-The people of
Kearse are not satisfied with just
galloping along with the gang. They
are abreast of the times. We know
one farmer who owns more than a
hundred head of hogs, another who
sold more than fifty dollars worth
of hogs on the hoof in two days, cat

spur of the moment that his chauf-

two amateurs to take them across

bridges he expected to land in the
water, if there is any such thing as

CROP OF ll,637,000 BALES
CONDITION ON SEPTEMBER %
WAS 56.3 OF NORMAL.
Loss Due to Storms and Ravages of
Insects.-Governme Figures
Given.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Storms and
insect damage have wrought havoc
with the cotton crop this year and
caused a loss of almost 100000
bales throughout the growing season.
This years crop will be approxi-
mately 11,637,000 equivalent 500
bales, according to the department of
agriculture's report, made public to-
day. 1t is the first forecast of pro-
duction made from conditions exist
ing since June 25, when the quantity
was estimated at 14,266,000 bales.
The condition of the crop on Septem-
Der 25 was 56.3 of a normal, which
is the lowest condition on record for
that time of the year.
Cotton this year was planted on
the fourth largest acreage ever re-
corded-35,944,0OO acres. In 1911,
when 1896, 900 acres we're planted,
the crop was 15,693,000 bales; in
1913, when there were 37,039,000
acres, the crop was 4,156,000 bales,
and in 1914, when the acreage was
36,S32,OOO, the crop amounted to
16,135,OOO bales.
Fewer Pounds to Acre.
Indications are that this crop will
yield only 1868 pounds per acre
compared with 2O7.7 pounds in 1911;
1908 pounds in 1915, and 209.2
pounds in 1914.
In statement issued today the re-
porting board said:
There was a heavy deterioration
in cotton again this month in the
central portion States. Boil weevils
in Texas, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisi'
ana and Florida have taken heavy
toll, puncturing and destroying grown
bolls to a larger extent than ever be-
fore known. This insect has, in ad-
dition, seriously damaged the crop in
portions of Oklahoma, Georgia and
Tennessee. Caterpillars have injured
the late cotton in Southern Texas and
eastern Florida.
Late cotton in the Carolinas and
northern Georgia will need late
killing frost to reach anything like
full maturity"

A County Matter.

Washington, Oct. 2-Because the
cattle tick always has been in the
South is no reason why it always
should be. When the federal govern
ment, as a result of it's investiga-
tions into the harm done by the pest,
determined in 1906 to undertake the
work of systematic eradication, it's
first step was to quarantine the in
tested area. This territory included :
at that time 728,543 square miles. 1t
has since been reduced to 444,022
square miles and tens of thousands
of miles are being freed from quar-
antine each year.
1t is obvious, therefore, that the
tick can be driven out The process
is a simple one and it's efficiency
proven. Regular dipping in arsenical
baths of all the cattle in county
will put an end to the pest in the
course of one season. This fact is in
disputable. The lack of success in
some cases has invariably been due
to conditions which have made dip
ping irregular or incomplete. There
are always some persons who, if left
to themselves, will shirk their share
in the work and neglect to bring
their cattle to the vats. In some way
these must be forced to do their part.
Again, the number of watts may be
too few to handle all the stock and
the consequent delays may seriously
Interfere with the progress of the
work. Such obstacles, however, al
ways can be overcome. They do not
affect the essential point that the
tick can be eliminated whenever and
wherever the people are determined
to do so.
Primarily tick eradication is
county matter and must be accom-
plished by county effort. The United
States department of Agriculture,
however, stands ready to lend the
services of it's trained men to any
county in which the people are suf-
fciently in earnest in the matter to
build the necessary vats and enforce
the necessary dipping regulations. If
the people are not willing to do this,
it is useless to expect anything from
the federal men. They can only help
those who want to help themselves.
The first step, therefore, is to de-
termine whether the people really do
want the ticks to go. If they decide
they do, the federal inspectors will
the construction Of the
watts, the preparation of the baths and
the actual dipping of the cattle. They
will assist the local men in every
way within their power but they can
not supply the money that the work
demands AS a matter of fact, how
ever, the amount required is not
large. In number of counties
which are now free from quarantine,
tick eradication has been accom-
plished at a cost of from 19 to SO
cents per head of cattle AS it is a,
estimate that cattle in
a tick-free County are worth $40 a
head more than in ticky one, the
investment seems to be sound one.
