Nervousness and Nerve
Troubles on the Decline

Nothing wrong but your nerves
is saying that is fast dying out ia
this country. While nerve trouble is
no orgonic disease, one Of our leading
nerve specialists remarked: "a man
or woman might better break leg
than have shattered nervous sys-
tenn"
Overwork and worry drains the
nerve cells OF their reserve stength
and food, and then follows the sleep
less night, indigestion, poor appetite,
impure blood and general nervous
breakdown.
The thing to do In such cases no
longer troubles doctors and their pa
ttents who know from their own ex-
perience the value of Phosphated Iron.
They know that few weeks regular
use OF this nerve food and red blood
builder will strengthen and brace up
the whole nervous system, beause
Phosphated Iron gives the tired, hun
CRY, wornout nerve cells phosphates
and iron, in form easily and quickly
absorbed; as one happy user said:
You can almost feel it taking hold OF
the nerves and blood. after short
time you feel like a new person; life
seems pleasure and worth living once
again.
In every section where Phosphated
Iron has been used there has been
big decrease of nerve troubles and II
will prove welcome relief to any
sufferer. You can bank On it for re-
sults-it's pure.
To insure physicians and their pa
tients getting the genuine Phosphated
Iron we have put up in capsules only.

COOL AND DRY
WEATHER
Good Rains at End Of Week with Ideal
Conditions for Farm
Labor In the
State

The Iowa weather crop bulletin for
the week ending July 16, has just been
issued as follows:
Cool, dry weather prevailed tin near
the close of the week, when good rains
occurred In the northern and light
showers in the southern portions OF
of the state temperatures averaged
about six degrees below normal in the
eastern and about one degree below
in the western portions. Sunshine was
much above normal. except the ex-
treme western and northern counties.
The drouth in the southwestern part
Of the state is becoming serious.
Conditions were ideal for using Ia
Dor and horse power to the best pos
sible advantage in haying and harvest
ting. Though put to a supreme test,
farmers nave been able to cope with
the difficult labor situation. In some
cases business men have gone out
from the towns to help in the late
afternoon and evening. Winter wheat
and early oats harvest is completed in
the southern districts and beginning
along the north line. Uneven gerTnina-
ton due to lack OF moisture last fall
has caused winter wheat to ripen un-
evenly Spring wheat harvest is in
full progress in the central and west
ern districts and will begin in the
north central and northeast districts
about the 23-25th. Rye harvest is
completed except in the north central
district. Barley harvest is completed
in the southern and central districts,
and is In full progress in the northern
districts Oats threshing began in
Van Buren, county on the 18th. Yield
ing forty-eight bushels per acre; and
in Pottowottamie county on the 18th,
yielding forty-one bushels. In Davis
county winter wheat yielded thfrty-one
bushels. Second crop alfalfa is ready
to cut. Much other hay of excellent
quality has been harvested.
Corn made good progress except in
the southwest district, is taseling rap
pidIy in most sections and sflking in
some. Unless a good soaking rain
comes soon the crop will be seriously
damaged in the southwest district
where the leaves rolled badly during
the past week with comparatively
moderate temperatures.
The final estimates on total corn
acreage for the state is 1887 700. In
the preliminary figure published last
week too much allowance was made
for overflow and not enough for late
planted acreage.
Pastures are generally short in the
third of the state and
are brown and bare in the extreme
southwest counties, where on many
arms stock has been fed for the past /
hree weeks and much live stock is /!
