ped the growth of pastures and hay
crops The average fall of moisture
over the western third was actually
greater than in the central or east
ern thirds, due largely to heavy
downpours in the six southwestern
counties of the state where E1khart
and Richfield each reported totals OF
more than six inches and Hugoton had
over five inches.
The rains came just right for corn
in the chief corn raising section of the
state, which extends from the Kaw
valley northward and west as far as
Jewell and Mitchell counties, also the
southeastern part of the state had fine
corn, but in the central and western
counties It deteriorated steadily after
the middle of the month and was be-
coming badly fired and its tassels
turning white as the month closed.
Wheat harvest was completed early
in the month and by the close thresh-
ing was mostly done in the eastern
half and 80 to SO per cent done in the
western. under favorable weather con-
ditions.
Fall blowing made a good start the
first two weeks. 1t was almost sus-
pended the latter part but rains early
this month put the ground in good
condition again. Grain sorghums
headed out in many places.

A CAUSE Of
WOMEN'S ILLS
WOMEN OFTEN THINK THEY HAVE
HEART TROUBLE, INDIGESTION. NER-
VOUS PROSTRATION. ETC. WHEN IT'S
SIMPLY IRON STARVATION OF THE
BLOOD

Many women believe they are weak and
nervous as a result of age, worry and
overwork; they think that their disturbed
digestion headaches. heart palpitation,
shortness of breath, pains across the back,
etc. are due to some serious disease in
stead of the real cause-iron starvation of
the blood. This is proven by the fact that
when many of these same women take
organic iron for awhile all their alarming
symptoms quickly disappear and they be-
come strong, robust and healthy Iron is
absolutely necessary to enable your blood
to change food into living cells and tissue.
without it nothing you eat does you the
proper amount of good-you do not get
the strength out of it.
If you are not strong and we'll do not
wait until you go all to pieces and collapse
in a state of nervous prostration, but take
some organic iron-Suxated Iron-at once.
But be sure it's organic iron and not me-
tallie iron which people usually take and
which is made merely by the action of
strong acids on small pieces of iron Or
ganic NUXATED IRON is like the iron in
your blood and like the iron in spinach
ientils and apples and 1t often increases
the bodily and mental vigor of weak. worn
out women in two weeks time.

IF SKIN BREAKS OUT
BURNS AND ITCHES
APPLY THIS SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply
Mentho- Sulphur to an itching, burn
ing or broken out skin, the itching
stops and healing begins, says
noted skin specialist. This sulphur
preparation, made into pleasant
cold cream, gives such quick re-
lief, even to fiery eczema, that moth
ing has ever been found to take its
place.
Because of its germ destroying pro-
perties, it quickly subdues the itch
ing, cools the irritation and heals
the eczema right up, leaving a clear,
smooth skin in place of ugly erup-
tons, rash, pimples or roughness..
AYou do not have to wait for i'm
provement. 1t quickly shows. You
can get a little jar of Mentho-Sul'
phur at any drug store.

EFFECTS OF CONSTIPATION.

Constipation causes a stoppage Of
the sewerage system of the body. The
poisonous refuse matter that should
be carried away is retained in the sys-
tenn and often poisons the blood and
causes numerous disorders. No one
can afford to neglect his bowels. A
dose of Chamberlain Tablets will
afford relief. Avoid drastic cathartics,
as they take too much water out Of
the system, and their use is likely to
be followed by constipation.
