The Pxamx Hippopotamus.

One Of the animals least known to
the outside world is the pygmy hippo
potamus of West Africa
This animal is Just what its name
implies, a pygmy hippopotamus. It is
much smaller than the common hippo
potamus, being no larger than an ordi-
nary or fair sized hog. 1t differs some
what from the common hippo in the
character Of its teeth, and instead Of
spending its time in the rivers and
lakes In large herds it wanders about
through the jungles singly or In pairs,
much after the manner of swine in
search Of mast.-London Spectator.

A FAMILY
 MEDICINE
In Her Mother's Home, Says This Georgia Lady, Regarding Black Drausht. Relief From Head
 ache, Malaria, Chills, Etc.

Ringgold, Ga.- Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place, writes: "I am . user of Thedford's Black-Draught;. in fact. 1t was one of our family medicines. Also in my mothers home, when I was a child. When any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black-Draught, which would rectify the trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and chills. or troubles of this kind. we would take Black-Draught pretty reg we would soon be up and around again. We would not be without it. for 1t certainly has saved us lots of D-aught when not so we'll saves Q lot of days in bed."
 Thedford's Black-Draught has been in use for many years in the treat ment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles. and the popularity which it now enjoys Is proof of it's merit.
 If your liver is not doing its duty. you will suffer from such disagree able symptoms as headache, bilious ness, constipation, indigestion, etc, and unless something is done, serious trouble may result.
 Thedford's Black-Draught has been found a valuable remedy fer these troubles. It Is purely vegetable, and acts in a prompt and natural way, the liver to it's proper functions and cleansing the bowels of Try 1t. Insist on Thed- lords. the original and genuine. E 70

AR|z. REPRESENTATION
 AT $. P. EXPOSITION

Getting together with an all Arizona exhibit the State will be we'll represented at the h. ternational Soil-Products Ex- position at Peoria, Illinois, in September.
 The last legislature endorsed the project for a suitable ex- hibit of agricultural products. The material which includes practically everything that can be grown in the state is now be- ing assembled at Phoenix for shipment. Grains, and grain sorghums of all kinds, spuds, cotton, fruits, vegetables, hay, seeds, plants, in fact every item that can be produced from the soil is entitled to entry and to compete for the individual prizes.
 It is the aim of those in charge of the exhibit to have as many individual exhibits as it is pos sible to gather, and for each in- dividual exhibit to have a du- plicate in the Arizona State Ex- hibit. The samples of each ar ticle required need not be large but the best that is grown should be secured and sent to Phoenix to be included in the display. Competition is keen. Exhibits come from all over the country and from Canada and foreign countries.
 There is no charge to the in dividual for entering his ex- hibit. It is only required that all exhibits reach the Chamber of Commerce, express or freight charges prepaid, ana accompanied by a complete de- scription of the articles and the name and address of the grow CT or exhibitor. Arizona has been very successful at all of these expositions. Arizona won the state prize at Wichita few years ago. Many prizes were won at Denver, Tulsa, Ed monton, Canada, and at Ell Paso.
 With the right kind of help the state should make a record again this year. Address all exhibits and correspondence to Commissioner, Arizona Exhibit care of Chamber of Commerce, Phoenix, Arizona. Help now and all will benefit.
