Your
Grandfather
Rode in a
Horse car
a slow moving vehicle adequate in its day, that has disappeared
because it could not meqt the modern problem of carrying niapy
people over long distances.
Your Grandfather had a big heavy Watch not much of a time
keeper and very expensive in upkeep. Perhaps for seutimeii'nl
reasons you -are wearing it today. You are wrong. You are
risking the loss of a valued heirloom without any lesulting mivnn
tage. On the contrary, hindered by itsjnaccuraey, you are hand
icapped in your use of many other modern facilites. Put your
grandfathers watch where it belongs in a safe place.

two scdres in the tenth inning.
On this lastgame which was necessary
to decide the tie, considerable money

Following tho example of practically
all other counties in the state, Lincoln
county has bogun to substitute cement
culverts for those of wood, and replac
ing wooden bridges with steel structures,
all of which is a wise move. Two steol
bridges aro now in course of construc
tion. Tho most important feature on an
automobile is the steering gear propo
sition and yot how dfispcrately ignorant
the motoring public seem to be upon
this very important subject. Tho lock
steering gear on the Studebakcj ia

all other cars about town as to safety

RUPTURE.
We have a cure for rupture without resorting to the danger, pain und
discomfort of a surgical operation. Wo nre tho only reputable physicians
in this line of work who will tako such cases upon a guoranteo to euro,
or make no chargo. You may deposit tho monoy in tho bank in your
own namo and when you aro well you instruct tho bank to pay us. Wo
have adopted this method because so many have been swindled by quacks
and fakirs. Not one of them will allow the patient to put tho monoy in
tho bank and pay when a cure has beon made. When taking our treat
ment patients must come to our office once a week they can return homo
the same day attend to their business or occupation without loss of time.
In order to give the people of this vicinity an opportunity to take our
treatment without tho expense of going to Omaha, one of us will bo in
North Plntto every Thursday. Write to or call on
