Island Resort at
Tekamah Is Sold
Tltjry Thousand Dollars Paid
far 720-Acre Tract by
m Holder of Mortgage.
Tjftcomah, Neb., Nov. 10.—The large
lsltStd In the Missouri river north of
V
Tekamah on which has been located
the popular summer resort of Lake
Qulnnebaugh and the Y. M. C. A.
summer camps, has been sold at pub
lic auction to satisfy mortgages.
The 720-acre tract together with
the farm house and buildings brought
$17,500, and the 640-acre tract con
taining the Y. M. C. A. camp grounds
and pleasure resorts sold for $12,500.
It was bid In by the first mortgage
holder, Mr. Schultz of LeMars, la.,
the amount being approximately
equal to his claim against the prop
erty. The Merchants National hank
of Omaha was second mortgage holder
to the extent of $10,000.
It Is reported that a compromise
has been effected between the two
mortgage holders whereby the second
mortgage holders were to be satisfied
also; bringing the amount to about
$40,000; other outside claims amount
to about $5,000.
The price paid for the land is con
sidered an exceptional bargain, being
about $35 per acre; the land is as
fertile as the valley of the Nile, hav
ing been subject to overflows at vari
ous times which lias at present raised
it above flood waters; it abounds in
timber also and should make a for
tune for its new owner.
A new anti-hold up carrier has
been invented for conveying money
by bank messengers. When attacked,
the messenger presses a button near
the handle, which sets of a number
of concealed smoke bombs, held In
the bottom of the grip. These burn
13 minutes, and not only throw out
a heavy yellow smoke, but so dis
color the money that it cannot be
passed.

Man 74 Years Old Is “Rejuvenated”
In 3 Weeks Without Gland Operation
Kansas Contractor Tells o f Wonder
ful Results Obtained in Test of
New Scientific Discovery.
Thomas J. Glascock. 74, well known
Kansas contractor, declares he has
virtually been made young again by
the recently-discovered korex com
pound, W'htch Is pronounced superior
to "gland treatments" as an invigor
ator and revitalizer."
"I feel like I did at 35,” says Mr.
Glascock, "and seem to lie getting
stronger every day. During my three
weeks' use of the new discovery pains
and weaknesses of many years' stand
ing disappeared almost magically.
Today I am as vigorous and supple
as X was In the prime of life. Further
more, when I began using the com
pound, my memory was virtually
gone and I was almost blind, r%ow
my mind Is clear and active and I
can read the finest print without
difficulty.”
In order to find out whether the
results were lasting, Mr. Glascock
waited six months before reporting on
his test of the discovery. On this
point he says:
“Every passing day strengthens my
conviction that my restoration Is not
only complete but permanent. I can't
express the happiness this great dis
covery has brought to me. It has
made me ‘young’ again.”
Similar reports are being made al
most dally. For instance, D. W. Wood
oyjew Orleans, past 60 years of age,
s£»: ‘ ‘The compound has brought
me back to as good, healthy physical
condition as I enjoyed at 35. I am
apparently as supple as at 25 and my
eyesight is better than {or years. I
would not take J5.000 for what the
discovery has done for me.”
The compound is a simple home
treatment In tablet form, absolutely
harmless, yet rated as the quickest
and most powerful lnvlgorator known.
Acting directly on lower spinal nerve
centers and blood yessels, it brings
gratifying oeneflts In a few days,
recording to thousands who have
tested It.
"It is wonderful,” writes a resident
of Hollister, Cal. "In less than 24
•t hours' you can fell It does the work.
It makes one feel young as a young
man. I am more than happy and
glad I tried It.” Another Californian
says: "The compound is a world’s
' Thomas J.
% Glascock ,
wonder. I feel like I was about 25,
and here I am nearly fifty!”
The compound has been tested In
all parts of the country and has won
the praises of thousands who suffered
from nerve weakness, lessened or de
pleted vigor, neurasthenia, premature
age, impaired glandular activity and
lack of animation and vital force. Its
effects seem to be virtually the same
on both young and old. Physicians
say the principal active Ingredient of
the compound gives speedy satisfac
tion In obstinate cases that defy all
other treatments. Elderly people pro
nounce the discovery a real "fountain
of youth.”
Realizing that thousands of en
feebled, half-alive folk may consider
such news "too good to be true,” the
American distributors have agreed to
supply a double-strength treatment of
the discovery on a guaranteed trial
basis to every one In need of such a
preparation. If you wish to test the
compound under a money-back guar
antee, write In strict confidence to
the Melton Raboratorles,1473 Melton
Building, Kansas City, Mo„ for a two
dollar treatment of korex compound,
mailed In a plain, scaled wrapper. You
man enclose two dollars, or simply
send your name, without money, and
pay two dollars and postage on de
livery, as you prefer. In either case,
however, If you report within ten
days that you are not satisfied, the
laboratores will refund the purchase
price upon request. These labors
atories are nationally ,known and
thoroughly reliable, so nobody need
hesitate about accepting their guarar,

Take a Tablespoonful of
Salts if Back Pains or
Bladder Is Irritated.
Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au
thority. who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys In their efforts
to expel it from the blood. They be
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with a dull misery In
the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue Is coated
and when the weather Is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine
gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and Irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To help neutralize these Irritating
acids; to help cleanse the kidneys
and flush off the body's urinous
waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy here. Take a
tahlespoonful In a glass of water be
fore breakfastsfor a few days, and
your kidneys may then act flne. This
famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon Juice, combined
with lithla, and has been used for
years to help flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys; also to aeutrallze
the acids In the system so they ho
longer Irritate, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts Is Inexpensive; cannot In

have your physician examine your
kidneys at least twice a year.

Freak Mine of Platinum
Brings Riches to Germany
_~_ j
Berlin, Nov. 10.—The little town of
Gelnhausen, In the apple growing dis
trict of the Wetterau near Frank
furt-on-the-Maln, la riding on a wave
of prosperity caused by the discovery
of platinum In the vicinity; not
natural deposits of this precious
metal, however, but fortuitous ones
found In the debris of an electric
bulb factory which burned to the
ground some years ago.
The debris was carted away to fill
brain work? As an Instance, all our
brains together couln't catch on the
premium title of last week, ’‘'From
Bottle to Jug."—Yours truly, P. A.
Francois.
Mr. Francois; Your criticism speaks
well for your friend’s character. Ask
the next tramp who visits Greeley
about the "Jug.” He can enlighten
you, probably having been there.
Last week we were long on titles
and short on space and time, so It
was necessary to cut out some of the
letters we received from contestants.
We print some of last" week’s and
some of this week's. ,
Dear Mr. Conteit Editor: I do love
to follow up and takS' part in a
contest of picture titles or conversa
tion. It creates more Interest, excite
ment, and gives one a little pastime
worth while. I sometimes send in
titles If I think I find a fairly good
one for the picture, and enjoy the
different titles sent In by others.
They are often puzzling, baffling fcnd
most always with a double meaning.
—Mrs. Vesta Franklin, Falls City.
Dear Sir: Thank you kindly for
the dollar awarded me some time ago.
I enjoy these contests, and when I
read the winners I realize how flat
some of mine are. However, I shall
keep on sending them In, and If I
ever win the $5 I will frame the
check for 65 days anyway.—Mrs.
Arthur Lee, Atlantic, la.
Dear Sir: 1 am sending names to
you for the picture. I would like to
win even a dollar because I am sav
ing up money for Christmas. We
have taken The Bee for three
years and think there Is no paper like
It. See that I get something If you
please, sir. Thank you very kindly.—
Thelma Moore, Omaha.
Sorry, Thelma. We strive to please;
but you'll have to try us again. Lots
of people don't win a prize the first
time but keep on trying until some
times they do. You didn't win this
time; but don't despair about that
Christmas money yet.
In new streets and railroad dams, and
no one thought of attaching any Im
portance to the matter until the war
came and platinum prices began to
•oar.
Some canny soul then remembered
that large quantities of platinum wire
had been burled In the ruins, and
thereupon the entire population sal
lied forth with shovels and sieves un
til the town began to resemble newly
discovered ‘‘dll fields. ”
Through wind and weather, snow
and rain, the diggers kept at their
task, reaping their richest rewards at
night, when the fine wires glistened
by the light of the pocket flashlights
No sooner did the platinum wires
come to light than they were gobbled
up by the speculators until the mu
nicipality decided to take a share In
the profits by Issuing ‘'platinum" 11
censes, and then came the Incoma tax
board, requiring from the citizen* «
declaration of their discoveries, which
were taxed accordingly. *
During these Investigations It came
to light that one man had already
amassed a fortune of *,000.000 marks
In odds and enda of platinum wire.
Among the visitors to the spot was
a professor In the high school, who
met there one of iffs students, a boy
so notoriously poor that he had to be
placed lb the category of "charity
pupils.”
To his astonishment, the professor
was offered a cigar costing at least
1.000 marks, but to his protests the
boy answered: "Don’t hesitate to ac
cept It. Professor, as I have made
80.000 marks today!”
According to the last reports from
the platinum field, the owner of the
new factory built upon the site of the
burned building was about to tear
down his plant and begin a thorough
investigation of the premises with a
view of exploiting the treasure* of
the soil.
