Lost Lbs. of Fat
In Just 4 Weeks

Mrs. Mae West of st. Louis, Mo-,
writes: I'm only % yrs. old and
weighed 10 lbs. until taking one box
of your Gruschen Salts just 4 weeks
ago. l now weigh $50 lbs. l also
have more energy and furthermore
I've never had a hungry moment"
Fat folks should take one half tea
spoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass
of hot water in the morning before
breakfast = it's the SAFE, harmless
way to reduce as tens of thousands Of
men and women know.
For your health's sake ask for and
get Kruschen at any drug store-the
cost for bottle that lasts 4 weeks
is but trifle and If after the first
bottle you are not joyfully satisfied
with results-money back.

VISIT In VALLEY

c. j. Carey, chief of the division

with headquarters at the office OF
B. A. Harrigan. agricultural COM
missioner, with whom they con-
ferred upon growers problems in
/ vclving the produce dealers act
The state officers and Harrigan,
made plans for education of grow
ers concerning the protective pro-
visions of the law, and also con-
suited with the district attorneys
office in mapping out a campaign
to apprehend unlicensed dealers
who regularly defraud valley grow
ers during the citrus and lettuce
deals.
Carey expressed satisfaction with
the general situation. II was more
than gratified to learn that in I'M
perial Valley" he stated, possibly
more than in any other section of
the state, growers are aware of the
protection afforded them by de-
manding that all dealers who take
their produce on consignment be
licensed under the state law which
requires that only bonded opera
tors may handle consignment tram
sactions. Farmers have quickly
learned to demand that field agents
of licensed firms must display the
blue field card issued by our di-
vision. Large warning cards, brief
ly explaining the law, with sam
piles of field cards illustrated, are
available at Harrigan's office, or
may be had free on application to
our Los Angeles office. Other lit
erature is also available upon re-
quest"
The visiting officers were en-
gagged also in making field investi-
cations of claims pending before
the division. They stated that ad-
jastments and recoveries to grow
ers of the states, secured by the
division of enforcement, amounted
to over $4,000 for the first 10
months of 1882.
Carey and Woodburn plan to
visit the valley at least once a
month. Appointments for growers
may be made directly through
Harrigan's office.
