GRANDMOTHER WAS THE
DRUGGIST.

In the early days of our country
grandmother was the druggist, and
her drugs consisted mostly of roots
and herbs gathered from the fields
and forests. There was peppermint
for indigestion. mullen for coughs,
skullcap for nervousness, thorough
wort for colds, wormwood for bruises
and sprains and so on. They were
successful remedies. too. 1t was
from a combination of such roots and
herbs that Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, of
Lynn, Mass, o than 40 years ago,
originated her now famous Vegetable
Compound: and during all these long
years no other remedy has ever been
discovered to restore health to ailing
women SO successfully as this good
old-fashioned root and herb medicine.

county Is becoming serious. The
county agricultural agent is unable
to supply the present demand for or
binary farm labor. The hay harvest
will commence this week throughout
the valley, and unless sufficient help
is speedily secured the farmers and
ranchers will be hard pressed to har-
vest the first cutting of hay, which
will be one of the most abundant In
years. The farmers and ranchers
will work early and late, and mem
bers of their families. including the
women and children, will be at work
in the hay fields from daylight in the
morning until darkness sets in at
night in order to harvest as much of
the hay crop as possible. The district
raises enormous numbers of live
stock, making the gathering of the
hay crop of utmost Importance, SO
the farmers and ranchers will have
winter feed for their herds and
flocks.

new rules: based on 100 per cent Of

Instead of issuing certificates fol
