A LAZY LIVER

Cheerful the World Looks
After Taking This Nausealess
CalomeI Enthusiastically
Safe.

Have you tried the nausealess calo-
mel that makes calomel taking a
pleasure? If you have, you appre-
ciate the wonderful virtues of calomel
when robbed of all its dangerous and
nauseating effects.
Calotabs is the favorite of the drug
trade. Pharmacists regard it as the
best remedy for the liver. Its effect
in biliousness, constipation, headache
and indigestion is most delightful.
The next time your liver needs a
thorough cleansing try Calotabs. One
tablet at bedtime with a swallow of
water, that's all. No taste, no nausea,
no salts, no gripping. You wake up in
the morning feeling fine, with your
system thoroughly cleansed and a
hearty appetite for breakfast. Eat
what you please-no danger.
Calotabs are sold only in original,
sealed packages, price thirty-five
cents. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you do not find
them effective and delightful.-Adv. =

Havana. June 30.-Cuban cane
growers, sugar mill owners and brok-

2.1S0,000 sacks of unsold sugar, were
on record today as definitely pledged
not to offer any more sugar for sale
until the price had reached "a cents a
pound, the level reached during the
last half of May.
This decision was reached at a mass
meeting held last night, which was
presided over by Miguel Arrange, presi-
dent of the association of Hacendados
and Colonos of Cuba. At this meeting
committee of twelve, headed by
Arrange. was selected to act as the ex-
elusive selling agency of those repre-
sented at the meeting. Participants
pledged themselves to withdraw from
the market all offers for the sale of
sugar and to sell none except thru the
medium of the committee which is
pledged to make no sales for less than
"a cents a pound.
The amount of unsold sugar was
estimated by member of the selling
committee at 100000 sacks, their
holdings of 2,1S0,000 sacks, leaving
only 100000 sacks under outside
control. Efforts are being made to
bring these into the pool.

WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT
Splendid Rains-Best This Sum-
mer-Brighten Up Eastern KAN
SaS.


! Splendid rains-the best since sum-
mer began-fell in northeastern Kan
sas and the Kaw valley this week,
making decided improvement in that
section. The western third of the
state is also we'll favored with mois-
| ture. but there is still a dry strip ex-
tending from Jewell and Osborne
counties southeastward across the
| state to Fort Scott and Pittsburg
where crops are suffering for rain,
and in many localities stock water is
becoming serious question. Chase
county, where the dry weather, seems
to center, reports only 1898 inches of
moisture in the past twelve months
| time.
Temperatures were cool andS fine
uncomfortably warm the latter half
reaching 100 degrees and Shigher in
some central counties
Wheat harvest is more than half
finished i'll the south and
southeastern counties and has begun
in all parts exeeptrthe extreme north
west, where the crop is reported to
be looking fine and extra well filled.
Headers are already at work in the
central counties.
Oats are nearly all cut in the CEN
trail counties along the Oklahoma Dor
der and this work is following closely
wheat harvest in other sections. Some,
but not much, barley has been cut in
the western counties.
The widely distributed moisture and
warm weather made it a fine week for
corn, except in the limited localities
where drouth prevails. The crop is
clean, tho not yet laid by and is MAX
ing fine growth. It is knee high
to shoulder high generally and will
be tasseling in another ten days in
some of the southern counties, and in
from two to four weeks in the impor-
tant corn producing counties in the
| northeast, when it will be in its most
critical stage.
Grain sorghums are reported to be
in good condition and growing we'll.
They are a foot high in the southern
counties and three to six inches high
elsewhere.
Pastures are doing well where rains
have fallen. The second crop of all
falfa, which IS being cut in the south
eastern sections, is light in many
places on account of deficient rainfall.
The commercial crop of potatoes in
the Kaw valley was given a big boost
by the rains this week. Digging has
already been started on a small scale.
Raspberries are being picked generally
in the fruit growing districts in the
northeastern counties.
Considerable damage by chinch
bugs is reported in the southeastern
counties.

ing had several years CLERICAL -exper

ticket in this county. l should say
that if Eli West and Chas. Mccall
had their proper place in politics
they would be in Russia or some
other country where things change
more often. Does either of the
above gentlemen or the persons re-
sponsible for their place on the tick
ct think for one minute that they
can fool" or "humbug" the voters
Of this county into voting for such
men? Net as long as there are real
