Yours Truly, The St Louis papers report several more growers brought to trial upon the charge of selling baking powder con­ taining alom in violation of the law. The parties were all convicted and each fined $100. Several baking powders which have been fonnd by analysis to contain alum have been offered in this market. They are called CALUMET. CHAPMAN'S. I. C. CROWN. BON BON. In many places similar powders, un­ der these or other names, are offered for pale at from ten to twenty cents a pound. Good baking powder is one of most useful things in the kitchen. There are several good powders on the market; housekeepers will help the authorities in their efforts to promote the sale of pare and wholesome food, if when buy­ ing baking powder they will insist up­ on, having some one of the well known brands of cream of tartar powders, which are pore and healthful beyond a doubt. A Real Friend. "I suffered from dispepsia and in­ digestion for fifteen years," says W. T.' Sturdevant of Merry Oaks, N. C. "After I had tried many doctors and medicines to no avail one of my friends persuaded me to fry Kodol. It gave immediate relief. I can eat almost any­ thing I want now and my digestion i* good. I cheerfully recommend Kodol." Don't try to cure stomach trouble by dieting. That only further weakens the system. You need wholesome, strengthening food. Kodol enables you to assimilate what you eat by digesting it without the stomach's aid. Julia A. A. Story, McHenry; G. W. Besley, West McHenry. Provoklngly Funny. Have you ever had a long, ~-eary Sun­ day before you--apparently a never- ending day, when nothing imaginable would provoke one of those full, hearty, whole-souled laughs from which is de­ rived the old, favorite adage, "Laugh and grow fat?"

Farmer*' Excursion to Champaign Was a Grand Sucpeaa. c- '• One may gain an idea of the satis­ factory condition of things at our state university by reading the pithy expres­ sions below as noted by a member of the excursion party: I am well pleased with the trip and am surprised at the growth pf the Uni­ versity. The most beautiful grounds I ever saw. What a jolly set of felloe these University people are. This is the pleasantist outing I ever had. The excursion is all right and the best thing of the kind I have ever taken in. I am delighted with the trip and much pleased with the character and stability of the buildings. This beats our last year's excursion all hollow. Why is it so many good people come from up in McHenry county? Because McHenry county is on top and the cream always rises to the top. I thought I had kept pace with the growth ot the college, but it is far beyond my expectations and the ap­ propriations have surely been wisely expended. I am glad I came down, I knew it was a big thing, and it is much bigger than expected. I suppose Mr. Shamel is the greatest corn man in the world. Shamel is a live man and a practical man as well. Yes. Shamel is all right and Rankin is all right too. This excursion is the most popular thing that ever left McHenry county. I tell you gentlemen, that is a fine body of men and women. If this is repeated next year I believe 500 will come down. I feel well repaid for the time and expense. Champaign is a blamed good place to go to. I had an-elegant time and it was just grand the way they treated us down there. Every one on the excursion is more than satisfied and the Univorsity folks couldn't have done better by us. What Some of the Profeaaora Say. Your excursion is a grand thing and far beyond our expectations. McHenry county is surely the most progressive and up-to-date in this In­ stitute work of any county in the state. The people of Northern Illinois are intelligent and progressive and their coming more than half the length of the state at a considerable expenditure of time and money, means something and should be an object lesson to near-by counties. To my knowledge there is not a county in the state that is doing more effective Institute work than McHenry county. I believe this excursion to the Uni­ versity is the greatest Institute move­ ment that ever struck the state. Letter from Prof. Davenport We are proud of the McHenry county excursion; we are glad you came and hope it will not be long until you come again. You deserve a great deal of credit for your persistent efforts in working up this excursion; it was a good deal for such a large company of men and women to undertake and it represents the expenditure of a good deal of money; it was a good thing for the Uni­ versity and I want you to know that we appreciate the efforts of your com- iug to see us. Letter from,Mr. Shamel. The University of Illinois has been especially fortunate in having the Mc­ Henry county farmers visit the institu­ tion during the past week. We feel that this is the only way in which these people can come in contact with the work we have begun, and along the lines which I am particularly interested in. We feel, as I said before, that we are especially favored in the visit of the people of McHenry county, and as this is the initiative movement of this nature, we feel that the people of Mc­ Henry county may feel proud of the step they have taken.

In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the mamy seekers after fortune who made a big race one fine day in April. During his traveling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case be­ came so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking bis first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful. The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by all druggists.
