But what kind of blood?
That Is the question.
Is it pure blood or Impure
blood?
If the blood Is Impure then
you are weak and languid;
your appetite is poor and your
digestion is weak. You can
not sleep well and the morn
ing finds you unprepared for
the work of the day. Your
cheeks are pale and your com
plexion is sallow. You are
troubled with pimples, boils,
or some eruption of the skfn.
Why not purify your blood ?
will do It. Take It a few days
and then put your finger on
your pulse again. You can
feel the difference. It is
stronger and your circulation
better. Send for our book on
Impure Blood.

We are now in the "dog days"
the period of the year when rattle

come blind, and are therefore more
dangerous, as they cannot see, and
consequently fail to give the accus

the basket ball team of that city is

comes.

We learn from an exchange that
the conditions of the crops in the
agricultural sections of Luzerne
' county give evidence of being the
largest in several years. The po
tato crop is especially bountiful.
With the abundance of the produce,
the price has dwindled. Last year
potatoes sold there for eighty cents;
this year fine specimens of tubers
are retailing at forty cents.

The Farm Journal is unlike any
other paper; for one thing it prints
no miack medical advertisements :
for another it takes five-year sub
scriptions and ects the naner to its
subscribers the full time if they are
anywhere on this planet, even if
they move two or three times : if
they die their heirs get it. Now
we are coine to send the rami
Journal for the balance of 1800 and
all of 1900, 1901, 1902 and 1903,
nearly five years, to every advance
paying subscriber to the Colum

we have only a limited number

Probable Railroad Dual
Delaware, Lackawanna & Western May
Secure Bangor & Portland Road.
President Truesdale, of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna & Western Co.,
accompanied by other officials of the
road, made, a tour of inspection over
the Bangor & Portland Railroad and
Us Martin's Creek Division. The
party were in President Truesdale's
private car.
Their trip and the many questions
they asked concerning affairs in the
slate district have caused a number
of people to believe that the Dela
ware, Lackawana & Western Co. is
preparing to take control of the Ban
gor & Portland.
There'is also a report current that
the Delaware, Lackawana & Western
people propose building an important
extension to the Bangor & Portland
if the deal is consummated.
Eoyal Arcanum Picnic
The committee from the Royal Ar
canum Councils, located in the lower
branch of the Western District, ap
pointed for the purpose of arranging a
Grand Union Picnic, has selected
Wednesday, August 23rd, 1899, as the
time, and Milton Park as the place of
meeting.
It is not necessary to dwell on the
beauties of Milton Park. As a loca
tion for a picnic, no more beautiful
spot is found in the district. It is ex
pected that Grand Regent W. C.
Weiss, Past Grand Regent Rev. E.
H. Leisenring, of Chambersburg 5
Special Deputy Grand Regent Dr. j
John A. Bouse, of Chambersburg, and
others, will be present and make short
addresses.
The following games will be con
tested between Councils in the district
and prizes will be offered : A team
of ten members will be selected from
the membership of each Council for a
tug war, one for the wheelbarrow race,
sack race, and potato race, two for the
three-legged race, quoit match, lawn
tennis and croquet matches. Prof.
Trat's Orchestra will be in attendance
day and evening, and will render a
special programme of music.
The Committee is doing all in its
power to make the picnic a success,
and it now remains for every member
of the Royal Arcanum to lay aside
toil and care for the day, invite your
friends and bring wife and children to
the picnic. Let it be a rousing turn
out of all Arcanumites in this section.
Railroad rates are low and the rec
reation will do you good, besides
making you a better man in the order
than you ever were before. It is not
only intended for you, but also your
friends, that they may become inter
ested and acquainted with the noble
principle of the order. Let it be a
day of jollity, pleasure and profit.
Those not caring to bring lunch along
can get dinner and supper served on
the grounds for 25 cents a meal, and
a notice should be given the Presi
dent, of the number who desire meals.
The fare from Bloomsburg to Milton
and return will be a single fare for the
round trip, being 75 cents. Children
between 5 and 1 3 years, half fare.

Botes From tbe Penna. Experiment Station
VARIETIES OF WHEAT.
The comparison of new and stand"
ard varieties of wheat by the Penn
sylvania State College Agricultural
Experiment Station, has been con
tinued through the present season.
The six varieties giving the highest
yield were :
Koyal Red Clawson 26.87 Dus-
Forty-Fold or Gold Coin 26.80
Dawson's Golden Chad 26.43 "
Century 215.71 '
Rochester Red 25.40 "
Reliable 25.14 "
Twenty-two varieties were tested,
the average yield being 22.02 bushels.
There was an average difference of
3.02 bushtls between the smooth and
bearded varieties in favor of the
smooth. About one-fourth of the
grain was winter killed, which ac
counts for the small average yield, it
being only about two-thirds of our
usual crop. The average yield of
straw was 2450 pounds, and the aver
age weight per bushel 62.04 pounds.
Turkish Red was the poorest variety,
yielding 15.37 bushels of grain and
1590 pounds of straw. The yield of
ten varieties that have been tested for
n'ne and ten years show no tendency
to run out, except a slight decrease in
tne yield of straw.
A bulletin, giving a complete rec
ord ot all the varieties for a series of
years, is in preparation, and will be
distributed free of charge.
Enos II. Hess.
The bulletins of the station will be
sent free of charge, on application, as

on agricultural subjects answered as
