Farming is the greatest business on

be conducted on the same plan as

that farming has been regarded too

win Go Over Books And Hear Com
plants July 81.

A meeting of the Lincoln county
election commissioners will be held
at the Court House at Brookhayen
on Monday, July 21st. 1913.
The purpose of the committee is
to go over the poll books of the coun-
ty and hear any complaints by can
didates or voters that may be
brought to their attention.
There has been good deal of talk
about some voters living in one dis
trict and voting in another. We sug-
gest as good plan that If there Is
any liability Of any persons being
challenged along this line or any
other at the polls that the matter be
brought before us now so that we
can adjust it before election day.
If anyone has any reason to doubt
their eligibility to take part in the
coming elections it will be a wise
plan for them to see us or send a
representative to act for them.

HISTORY OF NUMBER 40

90 years ago an old doctor
was putting up a medicine for
diseases of the blood, that cured
the worst cases of specific blood
poison, and time proved that the
cures were permanent. After.
many years / secured the pre-
scription (being a druggist) /,
and took each ingredient separ-
ately and referred to my II. S.
Dispensatory and other author
itative books on medicine and
found the medical properties set
down as follows Employed in
diseases of the glandular sys-
tenn, in blood poison, scrofula,
eczema, constipation, stomach
and liver troubles, chronic rheu-
matism, catarTh, in sores, ulcers,
pimples, skin eruptions, mercu-
rial and lead poisoning. Under
its use nodes, tu1nors and scro-
fulous swellings that have with
stood all other treatment disap-
pear as if by magic" To CONF
memorate my fortieth year as a
druggist | named this medicine

PRICES REMAIN TOO HIGH.

According to the index numbers.
wholesale prices are lower than they
were last October just before the ar
mistice was signed. but, as far as the
average citizen can observe, there
has been no reduction in the charges
Of retailers.
When the war began, Business
as Usual" was a prelude to outra-
geous profits in practically all bust
ness. The advent Of peace has not
yet brought about a changed con-
.dftion.
e Heads of families, who pay the
bills, have seen prices mount sky
ward, and continue their advance
until the monthly earnings barely
cover actual necessities. Many fami-
lies have skimped to exc out their
living on what was comfortable
existence in the days Of three years
ago.
Sooner or later the buyers are go
ing to curtail their wants. The only
remedy for high prices is to stop
buying. Let all of us ask ourselves
whether it is necessary to have the
particular thing we are about to pur-
chase. The wise economy practised
during the war taught US the many
former necessities were dispense
BILE. Until prices come to earth a.
gain we must carefully consider ev-
erything before we buy. 1t is the
only way to avoid individual and ma
tional embarrassment in pecuniary
ways.

loss on APPETITE

AS a general rule there is nothing
serious about loss of apeptite, and
if you skip a meal or only eat two
meals day for a few days you will
soon have a relish for your meals
when meal time comes. Bear in
mind that at least Ave hours should
always elapse between meals SO as
to give the food ample time to di-
gest and the stomach period Of rest
before a second meal is taken. Then
If you eat no more than you crave
and take a reasonable amount of
outdoor exercise every day you will
not need to worry about your appe-
tite. When the loss of appetite is
caused by. constipation as is often
the case, that should be corrected
at once. A dose of Chamberlain's
Tablets will do it.

feel like turning him down at that

In the senate. The Record supported
Senator Money. not because 1t had

The high price of land is being
noted in Illinois just as in other mid
western states. An S0-acre farm
near Macomb was sold for $500 an
acre a few days ago. The buyer
had confidence and perhaps he had
proof that good farmer can make
that farm earn the interest on that
investment, and at, the same time pay
him well for his time and labor. If
farmer can make money in Illinois
at price of $500 an4acre for land,
it appears to US that some farmers
ought to do a great deal better here.
