Prohibition
and
Lower Land Values S
wammmmmmmmmmmmm jj
The U. S. Government has gathered reliable figures as
to the value per acre of Farm Land in every state in the Ijj
Union.
The Government takes the value of all the lands in a
state, the high-priced land and the low-priced land, and then
strikes an average. |
j§
On Page 36 of the “Monthly Crop Report” for April, §g
1916, published by authority of the Secretary of Agriculture,
is found a comparison of the average value per acre of land
with improvements, as follows: jjj
r- _ 8
^—""' 1 ■ 11 ' —■■■ ' ■ i■ ■■ ———
NEBRASKA—Average value per acre, $76 p
nn \
K A N S A S—Average value per acre, $58 §
1,
The U. S. Government states officially that the average
value per acre of land with improvements is $18.00 per acre jj
less in Kansas than in Nebraska. On a quarter section this
amounts to $2,880.00. ■
in
The soil of Kansas in every way is equal to that of jj|
Nebraska. Climatic conditions are the same.
THEN WHY THIS DIFFERENCE IN FAVOR OF
NEBRASKA? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLY THIS: PRO

Remarkable Success of These Talented
Physicians in the Treatment
of Chronic Diseases
Offer their Services Free of Charge
The United Doctors, licensed by the
State of Nebraska for the treatment
of deformities and all nervous and
chronic diseases of men, women and
children, offer to all who call on this
trip, consultation, examination, advice
free, making no charge whatever, ex
cept the actual cost of treatment. All
that is asked in return for these
valuable services is that every person
treated will state the result obtained
to their friends and thus prove to the
sick and afflicted in every city and
locality, that at last treatments have
UMlUffllimijiaa'.".‘.^
been discovered that are reasonably
sure and certain in their effect.
These doctors are among America’s
leading stomach and nerve specialists
and are experts in the treatment of
chronic diseases and so great and won
derful have been their results that in
many cases it is hard to find the divid
ing line between skill and miracle.
Diseases of the stomach, intestines,
liver, blood, skin, nerves, heart, spleen,
kidneys, or bladder, rheumatism, sci
atica diabetes, bed-wetting, tape worm,
leg ulcers, weak lungs and those
afflicted with long-standing deep seat
ed, chronic diseases that have baffled
the skill of the family physicians,
should not fail to call. Deafness often
has been cured in sixty days.
According to their system no more
operations for appendicitis, gall stones,
tumors, goiter, piles, etc., as these dis
eases are treated without operation or
hypodermic injections.
They were among the first in Amer
ica to earn the name of “Bloodless
Surgeons,’* by doing away with the
knife with blood and with all pain in
the successful treatment of these dan
gerous diseases.
If you have kidney or bladder trou
bles bring a two ounce bottle of your
urine for chemical analysis and micro
scopic examination.
No matter what your ailment may
be, no matter what others may have
told you, no matter what experience
you may have had with other physi
cians, it will be to your advantage to
see them at once. Have it forever set
tled in your mind. If your case is in
curable they will give you such advice
as may relieve and stay the disease. Do
not put off the duty you owe yourself
or friends or relatives who are suf
fering because of your sickness, as a
visit at this time may help you.
• Worn-out and run-down men and
women, no matter what your ailment,
consult them. It costs you nothing.
Remember, this free offer is for this
visit only.
Married ladies come with their hus
bands and minors with their parents.
