tricts. In some of the northern
counties wheat suffered during the
winter from lack of covering the
strong winds having blown the snow
off the high points. This also oc-
Cured in Franklin, Warren, St.
Charles, and St. Louis counties. The
plant generally is still small due to
lack OF lall and spring rains, and late
sowing, but bottom land wheat has
not been much retarded. Wheat is
healthy, but little winter killed, and
has begun an early growth.

Adhering strictly to it's old motto
of Nothing two good for the people
of LumbertOn" the Pastime theatre
has closed contracts with the recog
nized three leading film corporations
of the country, and in future patrons
of the theatre will see metro, Fox,
and World Brady Made features on
the regular program. This program
cannot be surpassed for high-class
pictures. "The Seven Pearls" serial,
featuring Mollie King and Creighton
Hale, the first episode Of which was
shown Saturday, made a tremendous
hit and on the day that "The Fatal
Ring" closes "The Neglected Wife"
featuring Ruth Rowland, will begin,
the date being February 18th. Some
thing better all the time is the de-
termination of the management. Be-
.,iauina lext friiay, as the act pass
ed by Congress intended, in raising
funds to defray war expenses, visi-
tors to the Pastilne will be asked =
pay the one cent tax on each 10 cent
or fraction admission. Children will
be asked to pay cents while adults
| will paw II cents. The management
| recently assumed this tax, but finds
that it is utterly impossi
sible to run A and 9 cent show ane

Avenue who is not only sixty-six
years Or age, but says that he really
teels like a man Of thirty-five, and
he IS at his place of business every
day.
Mr.. Matthews feels that he is to be
congratulated because he was not al
ways as sound and robust as >he is
today, as he was sufferer for many
years from stomach trouble. Friends
recently induced him to try Peplac.
the great restorative and tonic that
IS now accomplishing such remarka-
| bly, satisfactory results in combating
| arrangements Of the stomach, and
now he says that he is wonderfully
improved" and believes that he will
be entirely cured by taking this
! great remedy.
This highly satisfactory result Mr..
Matthews obtained from his first bot
tie of Peplac, which is usually the
case as it is remedy which quickly
establishes its inherit and brings re-
lief to the sufferer.
Peplac is a palatable combination
of roots, herbs, barks, and berries. It
is designed to relieve such widely
prevalent maladies as stomach trou.
BILE, kidney and liver arrangements
and catarrhal affections. It accom-.
plishes this by building up the sys.
tem,, enriching the blood, aiding di
gestion and increasing bodily energy
and efficiency. It strengthens the
nerves and quickly eliminates tha
tired, rundown feeling.
Peplac is now sold in Lumbertol
