Frank Statement to the Growers of Hogs in the Corn Belt Which Covers Diseases of the Hog That Respond Readily to Treatment of Celebrated Wonder Stock Powders Do Noi Wiii imiil Your Hogs Gel in o firliicol Gsndinon y-' C?".--r- : -ii V■ • Adopt ajSystem of Caring for These Little Animals, EveryJV 1 , ‘ ■ -I where Known as Mortgage Raisers, by Taking an Inventory of Your Hogs Every Monday Morning

What we, the JLT. S. Chemical Company, claim are the causes of so many diseases hogs are afflicted with, by government reports and by experimenting we find that ninety-seven per cent, of all the diseases known to the hog family originate directly or indirectly through worms. This being true when you get an article that will keep your hogs absolutely free from worms and parasites, you will have them free from 97 per cent, of all the diseases;, then by purifying the blood, cleaning and sweetening the stomach and suppressing the fever, you will have the animal in a condition to resist the other three per cent of the diseases in case they come in you,r community. We, the U. S. Chemical Company, positively ; guarantee to have a positive worm destroyer. We are putting out an all Drug Compound; not an ounce of food or filler is used in these goods, and we will positively guarantee to show results in from twelve to eighteen hours after feeding, in the way of expelling worms and cleaning out the system. By feeding a little of these powders once or twice a week you will keep your stock in a perfectly healthy condition, and you need harve no fear of the dreaded diseases known to the hog family, such as hog cholera and swine plague, etc. Not only that, you will also have your hog’s stomach in a condition so that it will extract ten to twenty per cent, more of the fatting properties of the grain than they would without the use of the powders, thereby giving you the returns on your investment. Our County Representatives are Kellner & Hamilton, of Rensselaer, Ind. Our references, The Merchants National Bank of Lafayette, Ind.

It is linjieccessary for some people to make asses of themselves, nature having forstalled them in that process. There is none contestants who are complaining in any way about the prizes given or in the count, of the vote, and the idea of the, riepubMCan f,o stir up distrust and' trouble falls flat. Every vote cast is still kept, intact and will be, and if the Republican bunch will bring along a couple of HONEST MEN to watch them The Democrat has not the slightest objection to their counting the vote themselves all over again.

Adrift with Humor

Overestimating It. “Mr. Higgsworthy, w said the c|talr* man of the committee of arrange ments for celebrating the Fourth, “wt shall need a lot of money, for fireworks, and I have come to<-you first for a contribution.” "Well,” the leading citizen answered, “I’ll give a dollar as a start er.” "As a ‘starter!’ Mr. Higgsworthy, that isn’t even a nudge!” * /

VERY STUBBORN.

First Mule—Them autos is taking all our glory. Second Miile-—That’s so; they’ve been trying for an hour to got it to move". —. „ . ■, v '

Tough Luck.

An aviator n;nl did cry. . “Oh, Agnes, look at me! I started out to mill the Hky». And now I’m up a tree!”

Natural Qualifications.

“I see where in some western city they are appointing women as tag inquisitors.” “They might U> get good results.” “Why? Because women are naturally so conscientious?” “No; because they are naturally so Inquisitive.’’

The Point of View.

“Pop, la the world round?” “That, my son, depends on who gives the answer. The extreme'optimists say it is sometimes square, and the majority of pleasure seekers declare it is very flat.”

Says Joint Keeper Was “Well Thought Of.”

The Rensselaer Republican says of Harry Arrick, the man shot at Monticello Saturday night: ‘‘Arrick is alleged to have conducted a poker joint over Watkins’ place.. | Arrick was in Rensselaer Some two j years ago with Jim Diggering, the i baloon man, and later worked herap las a painter for Gnarlie Osborne. ’He is said to have been a very clever man and well thought of ia his home town.” l__„_— ; -- , - The abj)ve opinion of Arrick la probably confined to people of hla own ilk. We cannot believe that the good people of Monticello would think well of a man who conducts, a gambling joint. Men who are deserving of the good opinion of their f ellow - citizens are not in that sort of bdslnes, and, we might add,ihat they do not frequent “poker joints,” regardless of the opinion of the Republican to the contrary.
