It is impossible 10 suppose that these

for the event was unique and attrac

The attendance was fine Mr. Stout's

in the course of his address, with the
aid of a lantern and electrician. illus
trated the work, development and

from many and interesting view
points. The pictures showed more
plainly t.han words could tell the ex

no monopoly on the state's telephone

MALARIAL DISEASES.
How to Avoid Them and the Se
rious Consequences of Neg
lect, _
“Fix me up something to knock the
malaria, doctor,’’ remarked a sallow
faced, sickly looking mail, entering a
prominent physician’s office the other •
day.
The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down a couple of bottles, mixed ,
a preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to ,
‘shake well and follow directions,’ and ,
resumed his seat. i
“Such cases are frequent,” replied the
doctor in answer to a question. “The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are '
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to ■
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons arc full
of the impurities on which the malarial
gertn thrives, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis- .
eases are prevalent. ,
The proper way to guard against the i
malarial germ and the serious diseases
which follow it is to get into good condi- . t
tion by taking a reliable remedy that i
will keep the bowels clear and the liver 1
healthy, and to continue with it at fre
quent intervals during the sickly season. 1
A dose of Prickly Ash Bitters three or
'our times a week will do all of this, be- :
sides stimulating the digestion, ini pro v- 1
ing the appetite and keeping the bodily 1
energy at the highest pitch. <
Prickly Ash Bitters is known ever}'- |
where as a system tonic and bowel regu
lator. It not only removes all traces of
malarial poison from the system, but
tones up the vital organs, gives new i
strength and vigor, makes the body
strong and the brain active.
“Prickly Ash Bitters is the best all-around !
medicine for the family I ever used. 1 Hiring the
past ten years 1 have always kept it in niv house

hours.
Spread them out to dry When
marly dry, drying may he hastened by
sprinkling them y\ith thoroughly air
slaked lime.
b. Sow about ten per cent more pc

T. The machinery and receptacles
to In used in handling the oats after
they tire treated should tirst lie thor

For convenience, a pulley may h
