Success.

People in the neighborhood Of Creston, Iowa
arc amazed at the number of eggs that this mai
drives TO market with, When asked what wal
the cause OF his hens being so prolific, he stated
it was all in a certain compound he was using
that kept his hens in good condition and fur
nished them with proper stimulus to egg pro-
duction. American Poultry Mixture is the
name of it, and is made by the American Mfg
Co., Terre Haute, Ind. Every man in the poul
try business is Interested in the health of his
hens and their laying capacity. In the eggs
lies his profit. This mixture is guaranteed to
increase tine production of eggs 100 per cent OF
money refunded. 1t will do more than three
times as much as the same amount of any 9th
err compound. 1t is concentrated in form and
the result of years of practical experience in
the poultry business, There is absolutely no
doubt as TO what it will do, and you are invit-
ed to try it at tho expense of the company
Send 81 90 for sample package and if it doesn't
do the work you get your money back. This is
fair and is made to induce practical poultry
men to give it a trial. 1t is also a sure proven
tive of such diseases as the terrible cholera and
roup which create such havoc in all parts of the
country. 1t acts directly on the craw and giz-
card and is a thoroughly scientific preparation.
The manufacturers guarantee every package
or refund purchase money. If your druggist
don't sell American Poultry Mixture, he's be-
hind the age. In that case order direct from

Well Earned.

The Republicans of this district are
showing their hearty appreciation of
merit and well-earned political pre-
ferment by the unanmity with which
they are saying all over the district
that the Hon. r. N. Allen of this city
should be one Of the delegates to the
Republican national convention.
Mr.. Allen for years has devoted a
great deal of time and money to the
support and upholding Of Republican
principles and every fall has been re-
lied upon as one of our most indefa-
tigable workers, not only on election
day but throughout the campaign.
and it is but a just tribute to his
earnestness in party matters that he
should have the place.
Mr.. Allen has served for eight years
on the congressional committee, four
of which he was treasurer, two as sec
rotary and two as chairman. During
all these years no one can accuse him
of ever failing to say good word for
Republicanism where he thought it
might do good, or of Sinking fight
in its behalf.
AS a city we have reason to feel that
Mr.. Allen has been loyal to home in
terests, as he has secured the location
of two of the four congressional con-
ventions during these eight years at
Chanute. He could not we'll have
asked for more.
He is a capable man and man who
has the courage of his convictions.
He would make an earnest, active
delegate who would make his presence
felt, and would have the nerve to go
after any measure he thought for the
best interests Of the party.
The Republicans of this district
honor themselves in sending a man
like R. N. Allen as a delegate to the
national convention, and we do not
doubt that they will give him a
unanimous vote for the place.
