POULTRY PARASITES.
You keep the chicken house clean
to keep the parasites off the chickens.
You spray to kill germs—but what do
you do to get the germs and parasites
inside the chickens? Hens especially
show It at moulting time and during
the winter. How can you expect them
to lay. Free them of all internal para
sites by feeding B. A. Thomas Poul
try Powder occasionally. If it doesn't
make your hens happy, we will return
I vour money.—J. J. Slominski. Loup

Use Doan’s Kidney Pills.
Here’s Loup City testimony.
Verify it if you wish:
Mrs. Chris Johansen. Loup City,
says: "I don’t hesitate recommending
Doan’s Kidney Pills, for I found them
to do just as advertised. I used them
for backache, nervousness and trouble
with the kidney secretions and they
brought quick relief. I get Doan's Kid
ney Pills at Swanson's Drug, Store
and I always take a few when I feel
in need of a kidney tonic.”
Price 50 cents at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kdney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Johansen had. Foster-Milburn

CORED HIS PILES
WITNOOT OPERATION
—
Ravenna. Xeb.. Xov. 21, 1916. Three
j years ago I suffered with a very bad
i case of Piles. I was so run down
physicially with this trouble that I
lost over 20 pounds in weight and
found it very hard to attend to my
work. I was advised to see Dr. Rich,
of Grand Island. Xeb.. which I did.
I am now glad to testify after three
years, for Dr. Rich's benefit and for
the benefit of others suffering as I
did who wish to be cured without an
| operation, that I am cured. I have
j not had a single symptom of Piles
j since I was treated three years ago
< and am back to my normal weight
j and health, in fact. I feel better than
i ever, other troubles having left me
when my Piles were cured. I had suf
’ fered with Piles for ten years, the
last three years of which time was
; simply the infernal for me. For the
good I received from Dr. Rich I am
deeply grateful—and I most sincere
i ly recommend his treatment to any
one who needs it.

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA.
The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder
has a record of 95 per cent cures of
Hog Cholera. If you feed your hogs as
directed, you need never fear hog
cholera nor any other hog disease.
And the didections are very simple,
just about what you are doing, plus
a few cents worth of B. A. Thomas
Hog Powder in the feed twice a week.
Usually, though. Cholera gets in be
fore we know it. Then it requires close
attention to each hog—each hog must
be dosed—and if you will dose them
as directed, you will save better than
90 per cent. If you don't the B A.
Thomas medicine costs you nothing.
We—not some distant manufacturer—
pay your money back.—J. J. Slomin

“THE EYE OF GOD”
THE CAST
Olaf .—.Tyrone Power
Ana (his wife) .Ethel Weber
Renie . Lois Weber
Paul (her finance) .—Charles Gunn
“I, who am about to die. salute you.”
writes Tyrone Power, with pencil on
a pad. as he sits, in the character of
Olaf. the murderer, in durance vile,
awaiting the footfalls of his execution
ers. Then there ensues, in five reels of
wonderful Bluebird Photoplays, the
pictorial story of a crime, sordid and
mysterious in the manner of its com
mission; a deed inspired by lust of
gold and things it will buy. Intensely
fascinating and holding attention
gripped to the very end of the feature.
Mr. Power. Lois Weber, his co-star.
?has Gunn and Ethel Weber will en
act the story of “The Eye of God." a
photoplay that carries a great moral
lesson, impressing upon the observer
:be great dogma that no matter where
»e go we cannot escape the all-seeing ,
sve of God. which seeks out the crimes
■ommitted and urges conscience to find
elief in full confession.
