Holdrege Finds Nebraska
Crop Prospects Are Bright
- General Manager Holdrege of the
Burlington has returned from an in
spection trip over the lines west of
the Missouri river. He was accom
panied by H. E. Byram, Chicago, vice
president in charge of operation. Says
Mr. Holdrege:
"The crop outlook in Nebraska was
- never brighter aside from the winter
heat. The acreage of that cereal is
mall, owing to so many fields hav
ing been winter-killed. In the west
ern part oft the state, however, this
grain came through in fine shape and
large yield is promised.
"Corn is making good progress and
''the few warm days have given it a
wonderful growth. Farmers are busy
everywhere and they are in their
fields from morning until night. The
acreage is enormous as compared with
- former years."
According to Mr. Holdrege, Vice
President Byram, who continued to
Chicago is xf the opinion that no
new work will be started along the
Burlington lines this year. About all
that will be done will be to keep up
maintenance and take care of the busi
ness. Former Omahan Controls V

Invents Shield for Ships
Against Torpedo Attacks
fchn O. Rourke of Florence has
received a letter from Secretary of
theNavy Daniels acknowledging re
ceipt of drawings and specifications
of a shield i.wented by Mr. Rourke
for protecting ships from torpedoes.
Mr. Daniels states that the question
of a shield or guard for merchant
ships is being taken up by a special
committee and that Mr. Rourke's let
ter and drawing have been submitted
to this board for consideration and
action.
Mr. Rourke's invention consists of
a sort of fender sloping from the side
of a ship into the water. This is
made of iron pipes or rods. It can be
drawn up . hen the snip is not in the
danger zone. When in action it
would catch a torpedo, which would
run up the sloping surface of the fen
der instead of proceeding on its way
to strike the ship. It has the added
advantage of catching and holding the
torpedo after it has deflected it from
striking the ship.

Uric Acid
Eradicated
(Br DR. N. 0. COOK.)
A nniann aa danperous as strychnin
is manufactured within our own body,
called uric acid. When it accumulates
in the bodv and the kidneys fail to
carry it off, we suffer from dull head
ache, sleeplessness, muscuiar pains,
lumbago, or it may causa rneumaiism
or gout. The uric acid can be seen in
tha cloudv sediment in the water
what is called tha "brick-dust," noted
on the aides of the vessel containing
it after a few hours standing. The
wafer is scant, high-colored, strongly
acid, arid this should be a danger sign,
and if not taken in time, by cutting
out the meat, tea and alcohol, may
end in rheumatism or gout.
Drink plenty oi water Detween
meals a pint of hot water half an
hour before meals and take Anurie
(double atrenethi. This was first dis
covered by Dr. Pierce, of the Surgical
Inst tuta ire Buff a o. JN. i ana is
harmless to the svstem. but sure and
effective in carrying oti tne uric aem.
It stimulates the kidneys and helps
them to carry off the uric acid poison.
Anunc can be obtained at almost any
drug store, and helps to counteract
the acidity of the system.
A blockade in the intestines piles a
heavy burden upon the liver. If the
intestines are choked or clogged up,
the circulation of the blood becomes
poisoned and the system becomes
loaded with toxic waste, and we suf
fer from headache, yellow-coated ton
gue, bad taste in mouth, nausea, or
gas, acid dyspepsia, langour, debility,
yellow skin or eyes. At such times one
should take a nleasant laxative. Such
a one is made of the May-apple, leaves
of aloe and root of Jalap, first ex
tracted and put into ready-to-use
form by Dr. Pierce, nearly fifty years
ago, and sold Dy ali'druggists as nr.

A huge flag has betn donated to

uew ninety-five-foot flagstaff erected
on the lawn in front of the north en
trance of the county building. Seven
tons of crushed-rock, several loads
