DC OF THE REASONS WHY States Separator - IS THE BEST IN The United States Separator employs a feeding device to deliver the whole milk beyound the cream zone preventing any remixing of cream and skimmilkand any conflict of cur rents. No other device of any other Separator will do this work so well, as the records show. This device is patented, and can be used on no other Separator. i'cup me unueu aiaies uscsiioii-uuueu uiiuuucia iui mc iur rouV rents of milk through the separator bowl. This is covered by strong patents. No discs or other construction can equal its perfection in separation. It won the world's record for skirn ming, in 50 consecutive runs continuing 30 days, with the milk often different breeds of cows. 99 99-100 of the creameries use cream gathared from United States Separators and are eager for more. Cream from the United States is smooth and perfect for butter mak ing. ' The United States skims cleaner, runs easier, washes easier and lasts longer than any otner separator, man who runs one.

Ask the fo) HARDWARE MAN ICE POLIGY WORKS Great Feature of the Policies Is sued by the Reliance Life In surance Co. of Pittsburg. John M. Patterson, a railroad conductor, of Sedalia, Missouri, took a policy with the Reliance for $2,000 on Mm 15-Year Endow ment Plan, April 13, 1907. A note by the inspector received a th! lime says: "Mr. Patterson has a family; be is a healthy, stout man." In September, 1007, Mr. Pat terson bad n stroke of paralysis, which totally disabled him. Sub sequently his Reliance Policy was either destroyed or lost, as it was considered of no value. Recently Mr. W. L. Philips, of the, Renew ing Oivision, while in Sedalia, dis covered this situation. The at tention of Mrs. Patterson was called to the fact that her hus band's policy had not lapsed, but was still in force under the Total and Permanent Disability Clause. Her own letter is more eloquent praise of Hie Reliance policy than anything else can be. It says anything else ran be. It savs: ! "Sedalia, Mo. "Mr. Scott Dear Sir: Mr. I'altersoii is unable lo write. He was running out of Jefferson City nt die time be took out (be policy, ami I liil not know nny tbing about it. Tbe policy is eitber lost or misplaced. I feel sure Mr. Patterson will never be nble lo work again. He lias been under the doctor's care nenrlv all (he time since September, 1007. It will surely be a great benefit to me and the children. Plense advise me what to do. We, neither of us, Knew of the Dis ability Clause. It is very kind of you to look us up and tell us of It, and I surely appreciate it. This has been a trying ordenl to me lo see my husband fighting so hard to regain his health. Thanking you again for your kindness. Re spectfully yours. "Mrs. J. M. Patterson, "305 W. 5th St., Sedalia. Mo." The company, upon receipt of affidavit that policy had been lost, Issued a duplicate endorsed fully paid up. A Reliance Policy may be lost, 'I''roycd or forgotten. It works just the same, TWCAITSR it is the policy of the Reliance Life In surance Company to see that it does.

Member of Nebraska Delegation in Congresc Express Views on Corpora- tion Statute Now in Force First . , . . Trust Company Incorporated. ' Lincoln, June 30. Applying for an Injunction against the enforcement of the Housch anti-fiee gift enterprise . measure passed at the last session of the legislature, William Gold of this cltv made the first attack on an enact- ment of 'ie 1911 session in the federal court here. The assault on the meas ure comes from Gold because of Its inclusion of trading stamps in the list of enterprises prohibited for the gain of trade. The provision of the new law states that "any gift promise, stated or im plied to give or bestow or in any man ner to hold out the promise of a gift or bestowal of any article or thing, for or In consideration of the purchase by any persons of any article or thing." Gold recites In his petition that he entered a contract with Sperry & Hutchinson of New Jersey for the in stallation of their advertising system in his store and that he paid them for the use of their scheme so mucn per thousand stamps. The complain ant charges that the bill was enacted because of the support of other mer chants who did not favor the use of the trade attraction scheme by their rivals. Further he says that itjs rlnss Wislation and that manv neo pie through the fear of accepting the stamps since the passage of the Housch bill have ceased to take them and that thereby he has lost trade, all of which he contends is in violation of tho Fourteenth amendment to the fed eial conFlltution. A temporary restraining order against Attorney General Martin has been Issued by Judge Munger of the federal court, but It cannot be served until Mr. Martin returns to Lincoln.

Nebraska representatives in con gress who have been communicated with on the subject have expressed themselves as favoring a change in the corporation tax law so that com panies concerned might make their re turns to the internal revenue collector at the close of their fiscal years, lather than upon the last day of De ( ember. Congressman Norrls calls at tention to results from such an amendment as that proposed by the Cimimercinl club, while Congressman Magulre intimated that he would give the mutter his personal attention in the near future. Noiris Brown says that he believes the proposed amend ment would be a good one and be worth the earnest consideration of the members of congress, lie says that he vrill presint the local Commercial club's resolution to the senate at once.
