NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. REMARKABLE RECOVERY Extraordinary Curat! to iPower of Lydia E. Pink foam's Vegetable Compound. Philadelphia, Pa. - ' I want to lot you know what good Lydia E. Pinkham'a vegetable Com pound has dono mo. I had organic trou bles and am going through the Chanco of Life. I was taken with a pain in my side and a bad head ache. I could not lie down, could not cat or sleep. I Buf fcrcd something terrible and the doc tor's medicine did sno no good at all my pains got worso instead of better. I began taking tho Vegetable Compound and felt a change) from the first. Now I feel fino and ad vise any one going through tho Change? of Life to try it, for it cured mo after I had given up all hopes of getting better. You can publish this and I will tell any one who writes to mo the good it has dono me." Mrs. Margaret Danz, 743 N. 25th Street, Phila., Pa. It hardly seems possible that there ia -a woman in this country who will con tinue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial after all tho evidence that is continually foeing published, proving beyond contra diction that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffering among women than any other medicine in tho world. Prayed for Cure Finds it After 10 Years Food Would Sour and Boil Teeth Like Chalk Mr. Herbert M. Gessner writes from hia iiorae in Berlin, N. II.: I had stomach trouble over ten years: fcept getting worse. I tried everything for relief but it came back worso than ever, Last fall I got awfully bad; could only cat light loaf bread and tea. In January I got ao bad that what I would eat would sour and boil; my teeth would bo like chalk. 1 suffered terribly. I prayed every day for something to cure me. One day I read about EATONIC and told my wife to get me a box at the drug store as I was going to work at 4 p. m. I took one-third of it nd began to feel relief: when it was three-fourths gone, I felt fine and when it was used up I had no pains. Wife got me another box but I have felt the pain but twice. I used five tablets out of the new box and I have no more stomach trouble. How I write to tell you how thankful I am that I heard of EATONIC. I feel like a new man; I eat what I like, drink plenty of wnter. and it never hurts me at all. Cutting Out the Cottonwoods. In ninny cities of the Southwest, tho cottonwootl trees have become n nui sance by renson of the litter which they make at certain seasons of the year when little wntls of cotton are dropped from them mid the inntter Is being met by the wholesale cutting down of these trees. Thousands of these beau tiful shade trees are being sacrificed. Cutlcura for Sore Hand6. Sonk hands on retiring in the hot suds of Cutlcura Soap, dry and rub In Cu tlcura Ointment.

HOW TO PREVENT IRES ON FARMS All Conflagrations, Except Those of Incendiary Origin, Can Be Avoided. GOOD POINTS TO REMEMBER Preventable Loss of Millions of Dol lars Worth of Agricultural Wealth Annually In Various Sections of Country. Millions of dollnrs worth of agri cultural wealth Is destroyed nnnunlly by fire In the United Stntes. TJJio United States department of agri culture, In emphasizing tho fact that nil Ores, except those of Incendlfiiy The Sort of Catastrophe Which Care Can Prevent. origin, nre preventable, summarizes the points which the fanner must keep In mind, as follows: . All matches are n possible source of danger. Smoking or striking matches In barns or stables should he prohibited. Endangers Life. Pouring gasoline or kerosene on a smouldering lire endangers life and property. Open-llame lights should not bo used In a garage or other building contain Ing a gasoline engine or stored gaso line. Never test for gas leaks with a burning nintch. Every open lire should be watched until It Is out. Fire attracts children ; children cause many llres. Metal Container for Rags. All olh'd rags should be kept In a metal container with olr-tlght melal cover. The floor beneath stoves should have metal covering. The lire hazard should be conshl ered in locating new buildings. Woodwork should not come In con tact with nny chimneys. Ilomember that responsibility for llres rests on Individuals. Fanners' P.ulletln "Fire Protection and Fire Fighting on the Farm," Just reissued by the United States do partnient of agriculture, will bo sent to nnyone addressing a request to the department at Washington. D. C. UNLEDGERED INCOME IS BIG Three Essentials, Food, Fuel and Shel ter Do Not Appear on Farmer's Balance Sheet. Tho farmer, unlike most men In oth er lines of work, has two kinds' of In come, one his regular cash Income, the other an income that Is almost never measured In dollars and cents. Food, fuel, and shelter nre three es sentials of life that go lo make up the part of the farmer's balance sheet. These are the things that lend safety and stability to farm life; that en able the fanner to tide over bad yearn and hard times that would bo ruinous If he had to pay cash for everything that he gets. In tho case of the man on the sninll farm, this unledgered In come Is often of as great Importance to the farm family as the cash ln i ic, say farm management special ists of the United Stntes department of agriculture. THRIFTY CONDITION OF SOWS Animals Should Not Be Forced to Get Along on Little or Nothing and Raise Big Litters. Whnt sows demand Is to be kept In strong, thrifty oondltlon as a result of good feed and management If they are going to produco uniformly large lit ters from year to year. Although they will take care of themselves about the best of any animal on tho farm, If given the chance, they should not ho forced to get along on little or noth ing and at tho same time ho expected to raise large Utters. CLEAN BEDDING IS HELPFUL Filthy Floor In Hen House Always Soils Eggs Because Fowls Carry Dirt Into Nests. Clean bedding on the floor of the henhouse helps to keep the eggs clean In the nest. A tllthy tloor always soils tho nests because the hens carry tho dirt Into tho nests when luylng und tft it on the eggs. LOSSES IN SPINACH SHIPMENTS REDUCED Careful Handling and Packing Are Most Essential. Oecay and Deterioration In Transit Caused by Development of Slimy Soft Rot Can Be Checked by Lower Temperatures. Losses In spinach shipments enn bo givatly reduced by careful handling In harvesting and packing and by effec tive refrigeration In transit, according to specialists In the bureau of mar kets, United Stntes department of ag riculture, who havo been Investigating the subject. Iteports show thnt some of the nrln- clpat spinach shipping sections of tho country are suffering considerable loss from decay and deterioration In transit cnused by the development of slimy rot. This decay develops rap idly In transit when temperature con ditions nre favorable, say tho bureau men. It starts at places where the leaves have been bruised or wounded and It very frequently follows attacks of blight or other Held diseases. Other causes of deterioration In trnnstt nre vellowlng and wilting of the lenves. Prompt handling and shipment at n low temperature largely reduce losses from these cnuses. That shipments of spinach nriive In better condition when crushed Ice Is used in each package than without the Ire Is shown by test shipments made from Austin, Tex., by the bu reau of nmrkets during tho Inst two years. Where Ice was used In these shipments, practically no soft rot had developed when the spinach was re moved from the car, while comparable shipments without Ice had developed 8.0 per cent. Three dnys later the Iced spinach had developed only 11.0 per cent of soft rot while thnt shipped without Ice had developed 20.8 per cent. These shipments were made In freight or express refrigerator cars, the hunkers of which were Iced In the regular way. When barrels are used the Investi gators found that several layers of crushed Ice scattered through the bar rel are needed, a large layer being placed on top of the spinach next to the barrel bend. Holes bored In tho bottom of the barrel provide drainage. Shipments In baskets or crates carry best with a layer of crushed Ice In the center of the container and another layer on top of the spinach Just under the cover. Test shipments made to determine the effect of wnshlng spinach before shipment showed that washing has an unfavorable effect on Its keeping qualities. On removal from tho car at destination, unwashed spinach showed practically no soft rot while washed spinach showed B.G per cent Three days later tho washed spinach had developed 21.8 per cent while the unwashed had developed only 0.7 per cent. LARGE PROFIT IN SPRAYING Increase of 69 Bushels Per Acre Se cured In Demonstration In Pennsylvania County. Several potato-spraying demonstra tions have been conducted by furm bureau members In Carbon County, Pa. One demonstration, In which the cost of spraying was $15.00 an acre, gave the following results: Sprayed, 252 bushels per acre; unsprayed, 182 bushels per acre, an lncrense per acre of OOVi bushels. With po tatoes worth $l.f0 per bushel, the net profit wns $88.25 per acre. United Stntes Department of Agriculture. MOST CATTLE ARE DEHORNED Even Heifers Equipped With Fighting Paraphernalia Are Discriminated Against. All tho market-topping cattle which are sold at the largest live stock ter minals are dehorned nowadays and even heifers equipped with such light ing paraphernalia are now discrimi nated against by the buyers. SUITABLE SOIL FOR ALFALFA Land Where Crimson Clover or Cow Peas Has Been Turned Under Is Most Excellent. Land where crimson clover or cow pous has been grown for several years and turned under In a green state, Is suitable for alfalfa when giv en a dressing of inuuuro Just before seeding. spraying Potatoes. FUEL SAVED BY GOOD ROADS Wear and Tear on Trucks and Amount of Gasoline Consumed Shown In Recent Ohio Test. A test conducted in Ohio recently to determine the snvlng In gasoline from running over a good road ns com pared with gas consumption over bad nnd medium-grade ronds, disclosed n surprising difference. Five new arm standard "A" trucks with seven different types of road service, showed n gain of six miles per gallon of fuel between the best nnd worst types of roads. All the trucks were empty dur ing the test. The trucks loaded showed that the poor road took seven times as much gasoline per mile as the good one. The test results showed an nverage of 5.78 miles per gallon over a dirt road In good condition. 7.10 over fair gravel. 0.110 over good gravel, about the same over fair bituminous macad am and good brick roads, 11.14 over extra smooth brick and 11.7S over good concrete. Tho snvlng to the motoring public In gasoline nlone would amount to millions of dollars nnnunlly. Perhaps equal lo this would be the saving In llres, which Is considered as Important nn Item of car upkeep as Is gasoline. Calculating the snvlng In wear and tear on the mechanism of cars and trucks nnd also the Item of time lost by poor roads, adequate highways are undoubtedly a sane Investment. CULVERT IS EASILY CLEANED Much Trouble Obviated by Invention of Grate or Iron Bars, Resting In Notches. Often culverts under roads and pntlis become clogged with debris and frequently give trouble because they cannot he readily cleaned. The de vice Illustrated obviates all this dlfll culty. It consists of a grate of Iron bars supported by crosspleces which rest In notches or upon the surface of stonework or concrete, says Ameri can Agriculturist. Tho bars and tho crosspleces should be of heavy enough material to support any load that will bo driven across the grating. The one from which this drawing was made Is In a footpath, so the bars Grating Easily Lifted. were only 1V Inches wide and n quarter of an Inch thick. Tho cross' pieces are of the snino material, bent at the ends and riveted to the bars. All that Is necessary to clean such a culvert Is to lift the grating and do the work with a spade or a hoe. HIGHWAYS IN SOUTH DAKOTA State Has 0,000 Miles of Improved Road6 Only Ten Other States Exceed in Mileage. South Dakota has 0,000 miles' ol main highways, out of a total of 20It, 52:1 In the United States. Definite roiul systems have been established In -ll states, eithrr through leglsla the action or through state and loca! olllelals. North Dakota has 4.00C allien and Minnesota 12,700. Only ten states exceed South Dakota In mile age, while several of them have less 1 than 1,000 miles of main hlghwny. BIG HIGHWAY APPROPRIATION State of Wyoming Has Let Contracti for Improvements to Cost $3,000,000 In 1920. Tho total estimated cost of highway Improvements for which the Wynin lng stnte highway department has lei contracts, and which will be complet eil during tho present year, exceed! S: 1,000,00?). This total represents $ir for each Inhabitant of tho slnte. Moroccan Road Traffic. Tralllc on tho (French) Moroccan highways Is very large. In addition to the transport of passengers by pri vate or public automobiles, tho roads permit an important movement of iiHTchandlse by motortrucks. Cities Could Not Survive. Without roads, cities could not sur vive, nnd country-folk would ho with out many' of the present necessities, comforts, and luxuries of llfo, which they are now able to enjoy. 4 Why Some Dealers Sell Private Brand jloofing Any responsible dealer can sell Certain teed, but some dealers prefer to sell pri vate brands. Why? Because compe tition is not possible nobody else has their private brand for sale nothing regulates in any way the profit that they can take on a private brand if you'll buy it. If they sell Certain-teed they must limit their margin of profit to a reasonable figure. They get enough, but they can't play the hog. Every reputable dealer has a free right to buy and sell it at fair prices, ; Private Brands Are a Gamble Where's the percentage for you in pri vate brands anyway? You don't know what they will do for you. You don't know whether the little mills that made them know how to make good roofing or not. And even roofing experts can't tell much about roofing by just looking at it. But you know the Certain-teed repu tation for high-quality products and for fair dealing! You know that Certain teed Roofing is guaranteed. It's as easy as two and two. When you buy Certain-teed you know what you are getting. When you buy some pri vate brand you don't. And don't forget that any responsible dealer can get Certain-teed for you quickly from a nearby Certain-teed warehouse or jobber. He gets it when he wants it and he gets what he wants. He can afford to sell you at a fair price. Certain-tced Products Corporation Ganeral Officoi, St. Louts Officii and War.homas In Principal CltUt Certain Beware of the dealer who tells you he has Certain-teed, but tries to sell you a private brand. He probably wants a bigger profit. Changing the View. A cylindrical tool, described In tho I'opulnr Mechanics' Magazine Is meant to aid the portrait photographer In posing his subjects.
