5 C22S237ZSS JQUBNA llULDliffilS DOLLAR 01 IS KARiK Lincoln Man Says This Remarkable Medicine Has Made Him As Fresh and Fit As A Tvo Year Old. Each consecutive day brings many interesting statements about the merits of Karnak, the remark able new medicine that is selling: so rapidly here. Among the latest to testify is H. E. Sheerer, well-known steam-fitter, living at 510 N. 14th St., Lincoln, Neb., who says: "Speaking from my own experi ence with Karnak, I'd hank my last dollar that this new medicine will help anyone who tries it. I had lumbago or rheumatism through my back, shoulders and both arms which caused me terrible pain. It just seemed like a kink' would catch me, first in one place, and then in another. I would just near ly double up with pain at times, so I could hardly hold a wrench or a piece of pipe. I also suffered from nervousness and constipation, and my sleep was so restless and brok en that mornings I didn't feel worth a cent. "After trying everything I knew of, Mr. Engleking told me what Karnak had done for him; that's how I came to try it. Well, sir, four bottles have made a lean sweep of my troubles. I haven't an ache or pain now, sleep as sound as a dollar, and mornings I feel as fresh and fit as a two-year-old. I have gained weight, too, and am in the pink of condition in every way. Karnak is the greatest med icine I ever heard of, and I cant sav half enough for it." Over 500,000 bcttles of Karnak sold in four states in ten months. Karnak is sold in Plattsmouth exclusively by F. G. Fricke & Co., ind by the leading druggist in ev ery town. UNITED BRETHREN PASTORS ARE AS SIGNED FOR YEAR The Rev. C. L. Edwards Sent From Mynard to Orchard: the Rev. I. E. Harmon to Llynard.

The United Brethren conference, which has been in session at York the pa-t week, has completed its work with the assigning of the pas tors for the coming year which is of particular interest here as the con-feren'- pinde a chancre in the pastor ate of the church at Mynard. The Kev. C. L. Edwards, who has been in char.ue of the church here for the past year, has been assigned the church at Orchard, Nebraska, one of the growing charges of the U. B. church and where Rev. Edwards will find a Aery active field for his work and one that he will serve with the greatest efficiency. The friends here of the Edwards family regret very much to see them leave but join in wishing them success in their new The conference has assigned the Rev. I. E. Harmon to the church at Mynard who will at once take over the work of the new church. The church at Xehawka will have their pastor, the Rev.

Floors For the Chicken House Eight inches of cinders, gravel or crushed rock covered with about two inches of rich cement will make a cheap but ideal lloor for the poultry house. The porous material under the cement will break up the soil capillarity and tend to keep the floor dry. The filling should be tamped until it forms a solid base for the concrete. Hollow tile forms a more satisfactory base for the cement and only one-half inch of cement is need ed to cover a carefully laid floor. It is more expensive than the other filler. It should be, laid on a layer of sand and covered with rich cement to make a smooth surface which is more easily cleaned. A slope of four inches in twenty feet from the back to the front of the house will be enough to keep the litter evenly distributed over the entire floor. This slope will practically eliminate the disagreeable task of scratching the little out from under the dropping boards of the or dinary hen house. There is no better time to improve the chicken house than just before the pullets are put into their winter quarters.

SEE Sear! S. Davis Real Estate Insurance From Tus(!fl''s Daily It is rumoied that the mixed quar tette which represented Plattsmouth last night on the program at KMA, the May Seed and Nursery Co., at Shenandoah, Iowa, were somewhat mixed as to their directions. They admitted they had lost their way to Shenandoah, but to lose their way home is inexcusable. They blame the driver, but he shifts the respon sibility by saying that he followed direc tions of the "mixed" quartette. At any rat?, word comes from Iowa that after driving two hours at a good clip through the mud and rain, they awakened a residenter to discover that they were two miles farther from home than when they started. One of the party offers the suggestion that they were merely re hearsing such songs as "It Ain't Gona Rain No Mo'," "Three O'Clock in the Morning," "Where Do We Go From Here" and "We Won't Be Home Until Morning," under correct environment. The driver admits that he will not take night drives here after under B. A. McElwain's direc tion unless Bert has a lantern with him to assist in reading signs. Regardless of whether the rumors are correct or false, the entire party was seen arriving in town about 7 a. m. and one of them was heard to remark with a sigh, "Oh, Min!" They must have been "cookoo." Buy your ink and penoili at thr Bates Book and Gift Shop.

F Jo PATCH Elmwood, Nebraska NEW MASONIC INFIRMARY OPENS WITH NEW STAFF I HI Miss Alice Goff, Formerly Head Nurse at Wilson Hospital in Neb. City, is Head Nurse. : From Tuesday's Daily The new Masonic Home infirmary which was formally dedicated by the officers of the grand lodge here Sat- urday, September 5, will in the next few days be placed in active opera tion by the commencement of the transfer of the patients who are at the Home in a bedfast condition, to the new building that has been placed for the care of the sick and . bedfast members of the Masonic fra ternity in mis Btaie. The infirmary will be in charge of IMiss Alice Goff of Nebraska City, who has been the head nurse of the Wilson hospital at Nebraska City and a trained nurse of several years' ex- perience and whose success in the .xeDrasKa city nospnai nas recom mended her to the board of the Ma sonic Home and led to her selection as the active head of the infirmary as far as the care and treatment of the patients will be concerned. Assisting Miss Goff in the hospital will be Miss Dorothy Speck as day nurse and Miss Irma Bailey as night nurse at the infirmary, building, as the patients are not so numerous at this time and can be cared for very handily by the regular force. The arrangement of the rooms and their facilities makes the handling of the patients a great deal easier and they can be cared for in the new building in a more efficient manner as every facility for the comfort and care of the sick and ailing has been provided for by the Masons in the new building. William P. Evers, superintendent of the Home, will have the infirmary building under his administrative service as well as the Home itself and will attend to the details of the management of the entire Home plant while Miss Goff has the super vision of the nursing and treatment of the patients in the infirmary. Miss Goff, the new head nurse, is expected this evening to take up her duties and the task of removing the bedfast will be made as soon as the weather will permit their transfer from the Home building, while those at hospitals out in the state will be brought here as the circumstances of their cases will permit. The new building is a beauty both from the standpoint of an artistic ally planned building as well as one that has every comfort for the care of the patients that may be placed there and will assure the very best of care and every convenience for the sick folks. The new head nurse at the infirm ary is one of the popular young la diea of Nebraska City, where she wan born and reared and she has been a very active worker in the First Pres byterian church of that city during her residence there.

WEEPING WATER PARTIES GET IN TO WW'S HANDS Two Young Men Draw Down Fines as Result of Overindulgence in Intoxicants Saturday. From Monday's Daily This morning at the judicial tri bunal of County Judge A. H. Dux- bury was heard the case of the state of Nebraska vs. Virgil Dixon, charged with transportation of liquor and Milton Prall, Jr., charged with pos session of intoxicating liquor. The young men had been enroute to their home at Weeping Water Saturday afternoon and had proceed ed as far as the Glen Perry farm along the highway south of this city when the effects of the intoxi cants that they had imbibed became to great for them and they stopped their motor vehicle, too much over come to proceed on to their home and thereby led to their downfall. Sheriff E. P. Stewart was notified of the fact that the car was out along the highway and at once pro ceeded out to look over the matter and was accompanied by County At torney W. G. Kieck and on their ar rival there they discovered the two young men in very bad shape.

From Tuesday's Daily It was with the greatest of satis faction that the members of the con gregation of the First Methodist church of this city as well as the citizens at large learned this morn ing that the conference of the Meth odist church of Nebraska, in session at Lincoln, voted yesterday afternoon to return the Rev. Frank Emory Pfoutz to the charge in this city that he has filled so efficiently in the past two years. The marked ability of Rev. Pfoutz in the ministry has attracted the at tention of a large number of the churches of the state and with this fact it was at first feared that with these conditions prevailing it might be impossible to hold the genial pas tor here for another year, with the nossible offers that mieht come from larger churches. That the conference has decided to heed the wish of the Plattsmouth church to retain their pastor is most gratifying to everyone in the com munity and assures that the church here will continue with its vigorous leader as in the past year. During the residence of the Pfoutz family here they have made many friends not only in the church but in the community at large who are delighted with the fact that this splendid family will continue to make this city their home for anoth er year, at least. While the Methodist church has had many very able leaders and de vout teachers of the Word as pre sented by this church, they have had none more able than Rev. Pfoutz whose splendid work in the pulpit has been an inspiration to hundreds of the people of the community. With his church work and ability as a preacher of the gospel. Rev. Pfoutz has a splendid personality that has made him many additional friends among the people of Plattsmouth. The community welcomes Rev. Pfoutz and his family to our city for the coming year and trust that it may be as pleasant as the past asso ciations have been in their life here in Plattsmouth.
