Straight Talks on
Patent Medicines

Some three years ago number oi
prominent retail druggists = realizing
that big change was to be made in the
proprietary medicine business, that the
public demanded to know what the in
gradients were of the preparations they
were advertising, and that a general
reform was about to take place in pro-
prietary medicine manufacturing and adj
vertising, formed cooperative COM
pany to meet the public demand. This
company was called The United Drug
Company, of which the undersigned
is one of the thousand members.
Our object was, first, to manufacture
line of prescriptions such as we had
tried out in our stores and found to give
the very best of results, and second, by
owning our own cooperative manufac-
turing company we would be able to
know the exact formula Of every prepar-
alton we were selling, thus enabling US
to give to the public the very best rem
edies we could find at actual manufac-
turing cost, plus single retail profit.
This enabled The United Drug Com
pany to escape the heavy charges for
advertising and other expenses such as
have to be paid by proprietary remedies.
What was most important, it insures
safety and satisfaction to our customers,
because we druggists know just what
we are selling.
A committee of experts was ap-
pointed who spent long time in testing
the merits of more than two thousand
formulas and prescriptions recommend

Feeding Green Cut Bone Pays.

Mr.. A. F. Hunter who is one of the
regular contributors to The New Eng
land Farmer. not long ago said in the
columns of that paper: Feeding
fresh cut bone to fowls. to induce
abundant laying, has proved a decid-
eddy profitable thing. The bones are
rich in animal matter. and contain
lime of which the egg shells are made.
and hens fed on fresh cut bone will
lay a larger number of eggs than if
fed no bone. Not only will they lay a
larger number of eggs. but the eggs
will be stronger bodied. will be better
eggs, and if incubated will have better
and stronger chicks"

accuracy. II lost because Brattleboro
was lust enough better to win.
The score at the end of the first half
was 22 To In favor of the Athletics,

little To say. For a few minutes In the
first of the second period the visitors
appeared to take brace as did the

UNCLE SAM GROWS.
Kansas Independents Oil Company VIII
Go Into other States.

The Uncle Sam Oil company has de-
cided to go into Missouri Nebraska,
Iowa and the territories. From a small
concern with rather pitiful beginnings
the Uncle Sam Oil company has grown
until it is today the greatest opponent
of the Standard Oil company west of
the Mississippi river. 1t has its dis
tributing stations all over Kansas loea-
ted at Anthony Wichita, wellington,
Hutchinson. Winfield, Salina, Great
Bend, Atchison, Leavenworth, Topeka,
Parsons, Pittsburg. Concordia, in Kan
sas and at st. Joseph in Missouri. The
company is now locating stations at
Ottawa, Emporia and other towns in
Kansas. 1t is going into all the neigh
boring states to sell its oil.
The Uncle Sam company has a pipe
line building between Cherryvalp and
Atchison. More than seventy miles of
the pipe is now in the ground. The rest
Of the line is going to be laid as fast
as the pipe can be delivered. The COM
pany not only has a refinery running at
Cherryvale to its full capacity but is
erecting at Atchison refinery which
will within few months, be the largest
independent refinery west of the Mis-
sissippi river. 1t viii thus be able to
transport its crude oil through its own
pipe line from the Kansas field to the
refinery. In addition it is building a
pipe line to the Indian Territory field
where it has large holdings and thus
perpetually guarantee full supply of
crude oil.
The Uncle Sam station in Topeka is
selling all the oil it can get. When the
station first started all of the oil bust
ness in this town was done by the
Standard Oil and National companies,
but now the business has been split up
so that the Uncle sam is getting its full
share It's wagon is going all the time
and its oil is giving satisfaction when
ever used. Dealers in all of the other
Kansas towns are dom the same thing.
The dealers in Oklahoma are petitioning
for more stations and organizations are
being effected with the distinct guaran-
tee that the members will not patroniZe
any other refinery. except an independ-
ent refinery or buy oil anywhere else
The Uncle sam company is growing
faster and is doing more work than any
other company in the west. 1t has more
production. is turning out more kerosene
than all of the other independent re-
fneries in the state and VIII continue to
do so It's monthly reports show that
it is doing this. And it viii continue to
do it. It now has a proposition for an
other refinery at Tulsa to supply the de-
mands in Indian Territory and Oklaho-
ma There are a million consumers of
Tulsa and when this refinery is COM
pleted 1t viii be the only plant Of its
kind within reaching distance of a pop
ulaticn nearly as large as that of the
state Of Karsas. This viii be the only
i refinery in the territories where there
! is a large demand for all grades Of re-
EuaH oil
