"My wife obtained sucn satisfneto-
ry
results from Tanlac that I tried
it myself and have gained ten pounds
and feel like a new man," said J. W.
Ihooks, traffice superintendent for
the Western Union Telegraph Co., at
Dallas, Texas, and living at 1752
Hickory street, that city.
"When I began taking Tanlac," he
continued, "I was suffering from a
stubborn case of stomach trouble, the
result of an attack of acute indiges
tion 1 had several years ago. I had
an awful pain across my back, and
was so nervous and worried about my
kidneys that I could hardly sleep at
all. I suffered from rheumatism in
my legs, my feet would swell and I
wsa tired and languid all the time.
I was badly rundown, lost weight,
strength and energy and none of the
medicines I took did me any good.
"After using Tanlac for a short
time I began to pick up and kept
improving till now my rheumatism
is all gone, the pains have disappear
ed from my back and my kidneys
don't worry me like they did. I
have a fine appetite and can eat any
thing I want without suffering at all
froht-indigostion, myVleeij''isourtd:
and restful and I get up in the
morning feeling fine."
Tanlac is sold in Dnkota City by
Neiswanger Pharmacy, in South
Sioux City by Shanes Pharmacy, and
in Homer by Wagner Pharmacy.

Home Demonstration Notes
Miss Florence Atwood
Home Demonstrntion Agent
A series of demonstrations on the
use nnd making of fireless cooker
and iceless refrigerator, will bo hold
as follows:
Monday, May 12, at 2 p. m., at Mrs.
Pctor Ronnfeldt's Nacora.
Tuesday, May 13, at 2 p. m., at
Mrs. M. M. Htleman's.
Wednesday, May 14, nt 2 p. in., nt
town hall, Hubbnrd.
Thursday, May 15, at 2:30 p. in., at
St. Patrick's hall, Jackson.
Friday, May 1G, nt 2 p. in., nt the
Homer high school.
Miss McMurry, u spccinllst from
tho University Extension Service, will
be here to give these demonstrntions.
Mny is an idenl month for crowing
chicks, nnd nlso nn idenl month (if
allowed to be) for growing lice nnd
mites. These are the two most
troublesome poultry pnrnsltes. Lice
are biting insects which live on the
hen's body. To control lice, dust
with a commercial louse powder or
make n powder according toUho fol
lowing formula:
Mix thoroughly one part of n coal
tar disinfectant (such ns zeneleum,
creobote, crcolin, etc.) with four
pnris to this until all tho solution is
pnris to this until nil hto solution is
nbsorbed, then spread tho mixturoon
n board or newspaper to dry, away
from direct sunlight. Dust this
powder thoroughly over the body of
each bird, particularly around the
fluff.
Mites are the little spider-like nnr-
nsites that live in tho cracks and
crevices of tho roosts and walls and
come out to feed on the hens at
night.1 These parasites enn easily
be controlled by spraying tho roosts
with n mixture of one pnrt coal tar
disinfectant and four parts of kero
sene. The liberal use of a two or threo
percent solution of coal tar disinfect
ant about the poultry houso after
cleaning will aid' in keeping it snni
tnry and comfortable for tho hens.
The hen is naturally a clean animal
and will repay efforts in this direc
tion by producing more eggs. Clean
ly practices about tho poultry yard
will also make poultry keeping more
popular with neighbors.

grateful for tho kindness and com
fort which was theirs. Everybody
is glad for tho service. There wore

Thero are two men and one woman
who are not planning to be there,
but you better come early. 8 o'clock.
Sunday school at 10 o'clock next

Hints on Jetting Your Car Out or n
Mud Hole.
A resqurcoful motorist whoso car
has been stuck in tho mud does not
always have to fall back on a pair of
mules to get freo. For such nn
emergency the United Stntes Tiro
Company offers some suggestions
that hnvo proved vnlunble.
The first calls for having stored
away somewhere in tho car a stack
of old newspapers. When tho car
gets stuck nnd tho wheels refuse to
tnko hold, feed in some of tho old
papers between tho tires nnd tho
mud. Usunlly only a fow will hnvo
to bo worked in hoforo tho wheels
will begin to grip nnd tho car start
forward. This method of handling
a difficult situation is so simnlo nnd
so uniformly successful, that every J
motorist should know of it nnd carry
n'pilo of old newspapers, unless ho is
equipped with some other apparatus
for such n contingency.
Hero is tho other method suggest
ed by tho United States Tiro Compa
ny: Put tho car in low, and if you
cannot feed the gas with your foot
evenly, so that the wheels will re
volve slowly, put your emergency
brake on. Do not put it on so that
the wheels will not revolve at all,
but tightly enough to keep them from
revolving rapidly. With tho wheels
turning slowly, the maximum pull is
delivered to them by having the car
in low gear, and so long as they turn
slowly they can get tho bonofit of
the tremendous power.
It is not always wlso to fill tho
hole with stones or bricks, for their
rough edges are hard on tires. Small
branches of trees nre better, as they
ofrer much better trnctlve space.
Should this method fail, quito often
a slight push that would not much
more than move a baby buggy will
furnish just tho added amount of
power necessary to got the cur going,
Waterglass Preservative the Best
Tho University Extension Servico
favors tho watcrglass method of pre
serving eggs. Lime water will pro
servo eggs as perfectly as waterglass
but it sometimes gives them a llmo
flavor. Tests made by tho United
States Department or Agriculturo
showed that eggs could also ho pro
served by varnishing them with vas
eline. Ono gallon of waterglass will
make solution enough to preserve 50
tc GO dozen eggs and tho cost will bo
only two to threo cents a dozen.
iwo-quart glass jars give satisfaction
ns containers, though any kind of
earthenware crocks or wooden pails
may bo used. Infertile unwashed,
but clean, eggs keep tho best. They
should bo candled for cracks nnd
blood spots. Allow two Inchos of
solution ovor tho tops of eggs. Store
in a cool dry nlaco, preferably a well
ventilated cellar. If tho eggs got
too warm they will not keep.
