A bill now before the Ohio legislature provides for the payment of a premium or bounty of 82 an acre for a period of ten years to affy land owner of the state who will plant and care for forest trees in compliance with the rules laid down by the state board of forestry. Henry Clews in the New York Financial Review says the chief source of strength at present is a satisfactory monetary situation, funds being plentiful enough to avoid any anxiety concerning crop demands when they begin.

Worst of All Experiences. , Can anything be worse than to feel that every minute will be your last? Such was the experience of Mrs. S. H. Newson, Decatur, Ala. “For three years,” she writes, “I endured insufferable pain from indigestion, stomach and bowel trouble. Death seemed inevitable when doctors and all remedies failed. At length I was induced to try Electric Bitters and the result was miraculous. I improved at once and now I’m completely recovered.” For liver, kidney, stomach and bowel troubles Electric Bitters is the only medicine. Only 50c. It’s guaranteed by B. E. Williams, druggist.
