The hotels have been filled and many private oottages have sheltered guests. A few stray cows stalked through the grounds of Henry L. Hertz and Wm. Lorimer Tuesday night and ruined several rose bushes and other plants. At Delavan Lake last week Harriet H. easily won the first two races, cap­ turing the beautiful cup. But in the race for the silk pennant she did not fare as well, although the judges awarded her the prize. "Hostess," -her nearest rival in all the races failed to make the right turn at one of the buoys in this race and lost her chances of win­ ning, but it was evident that she could have won had she not fouled.

The races only served to prove more strongly than ever that Harriet H. is one of the best boats that ever sailed any of the inland lakes. Many enthusiasts greatly regret that she can not enter the races at Pewaukee, although they have considerable faith in the Mavis, Commodore Gnn ton's boat. The McHenry Bonne.

Corn is generally in excellent condi­ tion, though it is making slow growth and is Btill very green in the northern half of the state, owing to cool and very wet weather; and dry weather and chinch bugs are causing some injury to it in the southern district. Estimates as to the time when corn will be out of danger "by frost vary considerably, but it is believed by most correspondents that the early planted will be safe by September 15, and the late planted by October 1, in the northern and most of the central district; and early planted, September 1 and late planted September 15 in the south central and southern dis­ tricts. These estimates, correspondents state, are to a great extent dependent upon the weather, as dry, warm weather would shorten the length of time neces­ sary to mature the crop, and a continua­ tion of the present cool, rainy conditions in the north central and the northern districts would greatly lengthen it. In the extreme southern part of the state corn is already out of danger of frost. His Sight Threatened. "While picnicking last month my 11- year-old boy wan poisoned by some weed or plant," says W.

There is ample justification for the claim made by The Chicago Record^ Herald that its readers enjoy every day in the week, Sundays inoluded, a new® service that is without parallel in range and completeness. In addition to the independent news facilities of Ttye Record-Herald, that paper receives the complete news service of the New York Herald and the Associated Press, and when it is considered that its news columns are supplemented by all the special features so popular with its thousands of readers, it will be seen that The Record-Herald holds a unique place among the great newspapers of the United States. and --p • A " das fitter Children Like 1 SANITARY PLUMBING A SPECIALTY.

I was troubled with my stomach for several months. Upon be­ ing advised to use Kodol, I did so, and words cannot tell the good it has done me. A neighbor had dyspepsia so that he had tried most everything. I told him to use Kodol. Words of gratitude have come to me from him because I recommended it.--Geo. W. Fry, Viola, Iowa. Health and strength, of mind and body, depend on the stomach, and noraiAl activity of the digestive organs.
