You can not overestimate the
importance of keeping the blood
free Of impurities. When you real
ize that the heart is constantly
pumping this vital fluid to all parts
of the body, you can readily see
that any impurity in the blood will
cause serious complications.
Any slight disorder or impurities
is a source of danger, as every vital
organ of the body depends upon the
blood supply to properly perform
its functions.
Many painful and dangerous dis
eases are the direct result of bad
condition of the blood. Among the
most serious are Rheumatism, with
its torturing pain; Eczema, letter,

kee, spoke for the republican side.
and Frank d. Jennings, lawyer, and
brilliant speaker, and young man
named Armstrong from Dubuque, adj
vocated the democratic principles.
Ben M. Samuels of Dubuque, then one
of the greatest orators in the west,
was advertised TO speak on the dem
ocrat side, but an important court
case in which he was attorney pre-
vented him from filling the engage
ment, and he substituted Armstrong,
a young lawyer in his Office. He
proved to be a wonderful speaker
and handled his subject without
glove He was a silver-tongued ora
tor of much the type of La Toilette.
Two German speakers were here at
the time and delivered addresses in
their native tongue. They were both
from Dubuque. Theodore Stimmering
spoke from a republican standpoint
and Major Kolb, a Mexican war vet
eran, spoke for the democratic doc
trine. Both were pleasant German
speakers.

slight improvement during the last
week as a result of general rains, a
summary of the crop reporting SER
vice says. Corn was reported as re-
vived from the effects of the moisture
and hot winds, with the result that
ears are filing fast.
Threshing has already been COM
pleted in some parts. Farm work also
is said to be we'll in advance of the
average season. Throughou the
southern counties grain crops are be-
ing generally threshed. Cutting of
grains is going on in northern coun-
ties, with the yield said to be light
throughout the state.
Potatoes benefited generally by the
rains, but in central counties very
light crop is expected. Tobacco has
shown some Improvement.
The second crop of clover is in
bloom and will make a fair yield while
the second crop of alfalfa is being
cut. Millet is said to be heading but
is short. A large acreage of wild
hay has been cut to make up for the
shortage in tame.
