If You Need a Mediclna
You Should llavo the Best
,Vc. J"ou ever stopped to reason why
It is that bo many products that nro ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-tho article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that Iibb real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
nn endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent dnipgist says, "Take for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Itoot, a
preparation I have sold for many years
knd never hesitate to recommend, for in
inmost every case it shows excellent re
cults, ns many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
Mle."
According to sworn statements nnd
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root) is due to the fact,
to many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Bwamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Ilinghamton, N. Y., and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

Magnetic Alloys.
It Is generally understood that the
only substances thnt are magnetic, or
may be magnetled, are a certain nat
ural magnet, called lodestonc. and
Iron. There are certain mnngnnese
alloys, however, which are nmpnetic,
called the Heusler alloys so named
after their discoverer, Doctor IIouMer.
They are composed of copper, man
puH'-e and aluminum and are remark
able for the fact that in certain pro
portions they are magnetic, although
the component metals are not mag
netic. Doctor Heusler made the dis
covery by accident. He was turning
n metal allov containing manganese
in a lathe, when he noticed that the
turnings adhered to the tool.

PUT BONUS MONEY TO WORK
Iowa Veterano Do Not Recklessly
Squander Allowance, a3 Had
Been Predlctod.
Iowa's veterans who received tho
itnte bonus are, contrary to expecta
tion of some persons, placing tho
aioney In savings accounts, using It
for the payment of debts nnd for tho
extension of business. It had been free
ly predicted by a certain element un
favorable to payment of such coinpen
intlon that the money would be squan
dered In reckleos fashion.
Newspaper reports from nil sections
)f the state tell of the receipt of the
vurrants by the former soldiers, and
fvhnt they expected to do with the ,
aioney. i
Iowa business houses have conduct-'
Ed wide advertising campaigns, sug- (
posting to the former soldiers uses that
might bo mndo of the compensation
money. According to word from vari
ous parts of the state, the savings
banks profited most from this cam
palpi. Karl Hrowulle, an American Legion
member of Davenpoit, In., who received '
the llrst warrant, put It In a savings
bank to draw Interest. Harlem Wyntt
of Des Moines, tfhvt to receive n check
In that city, told repot ters that his
check was going to make the last pay
ment on a HttJe home. Another vet-'
eran said that his plumber was wait
ing In his business place for the check
when it came by po.it. Still another
"vet," appreciative of bow ho obtained
the money, said to ropoitors: "I'lvedol-'
lars of my check goes to Join the
American Legion and the rest to the
bank."
Interesting facts in regard to the
payment of compensation In the state
were developed. Mere tb'in l.'O appli
cations In the state were not signed by
the soldiers becaiive they were unable
to write. Instead, tho llnger-prlnt
method was used. When the warrants
were cashed the finger-i-Tlnts were on
the backs of the checks. Two hundred ,
and llfty nurses will receive checks Tor
service In the World war.
A tendency on the part of Iowa vet
erans to take advantage of the Insur
ance offered by the government is
noted by American Legion olllclnls. A
survey of records of or.o post showed i
about CO per cent of tho men receiving
compensation relnstat"d their govern
ment Insurance. Nonily SlfiO.tMX) In
policies was reinstated in one day, ac
cording to olllchilH of tMs post.
The Iowa law allowa W) cents per
day, with a maximum of ?:1TO. All
claims of conscientious objectors have '
been set nslde until after all other men I
have received their pay, when their
claims will be considered.
PROUD OF LEGION'S EMBLEM
Afflicted Ex-Service Man Tells of Com- '
radeshlp Displayed by Indiana i
World Warriors.
The spirit of comradeship among for
mer soldiers of the United States Is j
deepened, rather than diminished by j
time, nccordlng to evidences of friend- i
ly aid nnd help for veterans temporar- j
Uy In need. This is particularly true j
among organizations composed of
World war lighters, such as the Amerl-
can Legion. i
Many striking examples of this com
rndeshlp come to the attention of nn
ttonnl otllcers of the organization. A
splendid example was noted In a recent
letter to Legion ofllclals concerning
friendly nets of an Indiana post townrd
n slr-lr romrade,
W
Written liv H. L. Rogers, n veteran j was oiitameu rrom tne iionseveit .mo
nf ltntierv E. Fifth Held artillery, the niorlal association, which Is gathering
letter tells how he was taken sick ns
he passod through Lebanon, Ind., with
his wife. After reaching n hotel there
Rogers was told that he was threat
ened with pneumonia, and his limited
resources were a source of worry.
"That afternoon," Rogers' letter
says, "the adjutant of the locnl post of
the Amerlcnn Legion enmo to the hotel
and made mo feel I wns among friends,
promising that my comfort would be
looked out for. The next morning I
awoke to see n bouquet of carnations
In my room. In the afternoon the post
commander cnino to see me, and In him
I met another line fellow.
"I was sick for n week. Although
food wasn't much It left me broke, mill
when the finance officer made me ad
mit It he brought n ?10 bill for meals.
When I was strong enough to wnlk
about I decided to go to Chicago. The
American Legion gave me car fare, the
adjutant guaranteed my hotel bill nnd
a member of the post took us to the
train in his cnr.
"What do you think of a bunch of
fellows like that? Do you think they
would bo Just ns regulnr sports If they
weren't Legion men? I confess I don't
know, but I think these buddies have
caught the one big IJlea of tho founders
of the American Legion. . . .
"In conclusion, let me say that I
navo learned what tho emblem of the
Legion stnnds for, that I tako Increased
pride In being permitted to wear It,
nnd that, a4 time goes on, I hope my
.gratitude never lessens to fno 'greatest

ROOSEVELT LETTER TO POSTS
Facsimile of Former President' Pjr-
sonal Mcssane to Men In Trnchet
la Sent Out.
A copy of the only personal messaga
ever prepared by fonner President
Theodore Roosevelt for American sol
diers In France, written on the day he
was apprised of tho death of his son,
Quentin, has been sent to every post of
the American Legion, to the form of n
specially prepared facsimile of tho
original message. This letter was pre
pared for the soldiers of America and
was to be conveyed to them by Cass
Connaway of Duffalo, N. Y., who was
unable to deliver the words of Roose
velt because of war duties.
Through the 11,000 posts of the
American Legion Mr. Connaway line
been able to complete distribution of
the message, and It will be framed in
Leglmi homes, presented to libraries
and museums, that all Americans mny
read of the feelings of n lighter to tho
lighting men of America.
Connaway was an attorney In Indian
npolls before the war. Ills two sons
enlisted, and his wife took up lied
Cross work. When he found he was
the only one of the family not in serv
ice he closed his office nnd volunteered
ns n "Y" hut secretary, unable to enter
the army on account of his age.
Defore he was ordered to France,
Connaway conceived the idea of carry
ing a message to the Hoosler boys nt
the front, telling them of how they
would be welcomed on their return to
the United States. fJov. .Tames 1'.
Goodrich of Indiana prepared a splen
did message, as did l'.ooth Tarklngton.
Meredith Nicholson, Ceorge Ade and
other well-known Indlanatis. Then
Connaway enlarged en his original Idea
and wrote to the governors of every
state for similar words to the men of
their commonwealths In the trenches of
France. All respon-'ed, and to these
were added a tribute, penned In long
hand, by Cardinal rs:i,bxis.
(in .Inly 1.", 1019, Mr. Connaway sub
mitted bis plan to former President
Roosevelt. The dav following, Quentin,
UAb3 CONNAWAY
his son, was killed ns ho flew over tho
i German lines, word being received In
America July 17 of the death of tha
, young nvlator.
Connaway sailed for France and
fchnrtly nfter landing was assigned to
duties with the legal division of the Y.
1 M. C. A. He was unable to send the
i message direct to the men nt the front,
but succeeded In having It printed In
1 the I'arls edition of the London Dally
Times, though few of the fighters were
I privileged to see It. Continued duties
j with the "Y" ns chief of the claims til
, vision, Judge advocate and chief of tho
' legal division held up delivery of the
I niessnge. Connaway then returned to
the United States and was separated
from the service to become managing
director of the Buffalo real estate
board.
Still feeling his obligation for deliv
ery of the words from Mp. Roosevelt,
Connnway sought permission from
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., now assistant
secretary of the navy, for authority to
Issue the letter. Further ecnnlsslon
mementoes for presentation at Roose
velt house In Now York city, the birth
place of the president, nnd where the
original of the message will be plnccd.
Identlcnl copies of the statement to
the troops were prepared. Then the
Amerlcnn Legion was nppealed to as
being the best means for distribution
of the message and It went forward
through the various posts of the or
ganization. The message follows:
"To the Soldiers of the American
Expeditionary Forces Overseas:
"I send my heartfelt greetings to
yon men at the front. You have
made all nf us who stay behind lift
our heads high with pride by whnt
you are doing. It Is you men,
and only you men, who are doing
one vital work for the American
people today. All good Americans
at this time owe homage to the
lighting men at the lighting front.
What you are doing Is vHal for the
honor and tho interest, for the fu
ture welfare, nnd for the very ex
istence, of our republic; and you
nro also battling for the liberty of
every well-behaved civilized na
tion, big or little.
"I congratulate you on the grent
good fortune that la yours In that
you now have the chance to en

tho greatest of all service. I would

Cut Alfalfa When New
Shoots Begin to Appear
"Under average weather conditions
alfalfa should be cut when the new
shoots begin to appear nt the crown,"
says A. C. Amy of tho farm crops sec
tion, University fnrm. "These shoots
are yellowish white In color and may
be easily seen at the base of the al
falfa plant If tho weather lias been
very dry for a time previous to Uio
date tho crop would usunlly bo cut,
the appearance of these new shoots
will be delayed more than the devel
opment of the crop itself. Under such
conditions It Is well to watch the stago
of blossom and cut when approximately
one-tenth of tho flowers have appeared.
Delay In cutting the first or second
crop makes the subsequent crops cut
the same year later. Alfalfa may bo
harrowed with a spring tooth hnrrow
or other similar implement Immediate
ly nfter tho first or second crop has
been removed. This hnrrowlng aids
In keeping down grasses that ruin Uhj
stands of alfalfa.
Mulching Tomatoes Most
Excellent as Substitute
"Where your tomatoes are not to bo
thoroughly cultivated, mulching Is n
good substitute," says D. a Mooring,
extension horticulturist, Oklahoma A.
and JL college. "It consists merely
of adding a layer of throa or four
Inches of straw over tho uround be
tween and around tho tomato plants.
This mulch will prevent the growth of
grass and weeds, holds the tomatoes
up off tho dirt to prevent rot and nt
the same time keeps the food conditions
more nearly normal and In this way
tends to prevent tho stem end rot,
which Is quite common whore there aro
abrupt changes In weather conditions.
This mulch will also enable you to get
around over tho ground to better ad
vantage In case of wet wenth'er."

A very commendable method of

Is really large enough to serve as a

will afford secure housing for his

Valnt made by mixing cement In water
to the consistency of cream or a brick
or carborundum block can be used to

Disinfectants to Kill
Lice on Cows and Calves
A good method of getting rid ot
lieu on cows nnd calves Is to get m
good scrub brush and then prepare a
solution of one of tho coal tar disin
fectants or sheep dips. Creolln Is good
and It should be added to warm water
until the solution Is quite milky. Rub
this solution In with the brush, taking
particular pnlns to get It on the nf
fectcd parts. A sprayer can be used
but Is not as effective as n brush. The
work had best bo done on a warm,
sunny day In order to prevent chilling
or cntchlng colli. Another good remedy
Is to rub on back of the horns and
ears, where tho nnlmals cannot lick
It, a small quantity of mcrcurlul oint
ment. Caro should be taken not to
use too large n qunntlty of this prep
aration, as It may be absorbed by the
system nnd salivate the animal treated.
It will bo Impossible to get rid of
