At Age of 71, Fimucr Can Do
As Much Work as SO-Year
Old IJoy Praises
Tan lac.
"Well, sir, five years before I start
ed taking Tnnlac my troubles made
me iiuit farm work, but now I feel
so good 1 believe I could whirl in
and sow as much oats as I did when
I was a young man of twenty," de
clared George Heinz, Sr., who lives
three miles west of Peoria, 111., on
R. 1VD. route No. 1, a few days ago.
Mr. Heinz has lived on his farm for
fifty years and is well and favora
bly known to a great many persons
in that vicinity.
"When my wife and 1 first settled
here," continued Mr. Heinz, "Peoria
was just a small village and when
we would have to have anything they
didn't keep in town I'd just hook
up a team of oxen and go to Chicago
because we didn't have any railroad
to Chicago in those days. I worked
pretty hard on the farm up till the
time I am telling you about when
stomach trouble knocked me out and
I had rheumatism in my left knee
so bud my wife would put hot poul
tices on it to try and rid me of the
pain. My stomach got in such 'bad
shape that I couldn't take anything
but liquids or soft things to eat and
I tell you I got mighty tired eating
that sort of stuff but I did it NtoJ
keep from suffering.
"If I'd so much as eat meat or po
tatoes my .stomach would cramp me
nearly to death, and I would bloat
up and sometimes it would be hours
before I would get any ease from
the pain. Of course, I felt like may
be my age had something to do with
my bad stomach and rheumatism, as
I'm seventy-four now, but I had al
ways been strong and hearty and I
just hated to give up hope. I took
nil sorts of medicines but nothing
seemed to do me any 'good at all and
I was right on the point of giving up
when I heard what Tanlac had done
for people in Peoria and surrounding
towns. I know a lot of people about
here and some of them told me I
ought to take it. I was in n pretty
bad shape sure enough but after ill
1 had heard about Tanlac I thought
I'd take just one more chance and
so I bought a bottle.
"Well, sir, that first bottle I took
made me sleep better and kept my
stomach from hurting me when I
ate, and seemed to put more life in
to me than I had had for a long
time. I could tell right away that
it was doing the work for me and I
had the boy get three more bottles
and they did mo so much good I just
couldn't help but go out and do t
little work around the place and I
began to cat just like I used to and
I could sleep like a log nnd my stom
ach didn't hurt me at all; in fact, 1
found that I could ent just anything
without being bothered and the rheu
matism in my legs eased up so I
made up my mind to stick to Tanlue,
because I know it's going to rid me
of that trouble. I've bought six
bottles and I hhall always bless the
day I got that first bottle of Tanlac
and I want all my friends to know
what it has done for me and they
know I'm not the sort to put my
name back of anything that isn't just
right."
Tanlac is sold in Dakotn City by
Neiswanger Pharmacy, in South
Sioux City by Shanes Pharmacy, and
in Homer by Wagner Pharmacy.

Unless the premises where the

used are known to be absolutely free
from lice and mites, and it is certain
that the chicks have never been ex

tion to paint or spray tho brooder
with a mixture of four parts crude
petroleum and one part kerosene, al
lowing it to dry thoroughly beforo
using. Puffs of insect powder on tho

FARM BUREAU NOTES
C. R. Youii?, County Agent
One hundred and thirty-three per
sons attended the pocket gopher erad
ication demonstrations- last week.
Most of tho people present at these
meetings showed a real determina
tion to exterminate the pest. A
poison preparation put up by the
State University was sold, one hund
red and eleven boxes being tnken.
Orders were also taken for three hun
dred and sixty-seven traps. This is
a small trap, made in California,
which gave the best results in a test
with several other traps, under the
direction pf the state experiment
station. Traps and poison with full
directions for their use can be se
cured nt the County Agent's offico.
The "day light saving" plan which
the government gave us last year is
again receiving much adverse criti
cism, and, we feel, justly so. Al
though most people wero unable to
see enough benefit to be derived from
it to offset the inconvenience nnd
nctunl loss incurred, they endured it
Inst yenr as a war mensure. Now
that the war has ceased, they feel
they should no longer bo called upon
to withstand the loss of time. With
hopes of having this law repealed,
tho Nebraska Farmer, in its issue of
April 26th, has printed tho following
petition, for farmers to circulnte nnd
man to tneir oltico at Lincoln: .
Petition to Helical Daylight Saving
Law.
We, the undersigned, urgently pe
tition the United States Sennte and
Congress to repeal at the earliest
possible moment the so-called day
light saving law.
This is followed with places for
names nnd addresses.
If farmers really want this law re
pealed here is a chnnce to get some
assistance. The Nebraska Farmer
will bo only too glad to help in this
matter, but they can do but little
unless the persons directly offected
show their desire for a change in
some such way as this. Tho more
names, that appear on the lists the
better, but if only two or three, do
not hesitnte to send them in. Mere
ly mnko a copy of this petition and
circulnte it among your neighbors.
If you desire, the petitions may be
handed to the county agent who will
forward them.
Scours in small pigs is quite pre
vnient nt this senson of tho year.
Several causes may be advanced for
the trouble. The more common are
sows being confined to too small
quarters with too little sunshine and
too much filth. Too lienvv fnmllmr
of n milk producing rntion to the
sow, too little exercise by both pigs
mm iiiuuiLT are common cnuses. Tho
malady may lie largely overcome by
correcting the cause. The sow
should be given a doso of oivqnm
salts or raw linseed oil and twice a
day n tenspoonful of blood meal.
Tho pigs mny be given a teaspoonful
of castor oil. Pit's old enough n
drink should have their troughs
thoroughly cleaned and bo given a
physic and a small feed of the sul
phato of Iron or blood meal in a lit
tle boiled milk.
