usual increase in immigration to
America from Norway Sweden and
Denmark may be expected next year.

HAD $4,000 POCKET PIECE
Laborer's Supposed Worthless Find
Turns Out to Be a Diamond.

Omaha, Neb, Dec. civilian Ahern,
laborer walked into the jewelry store
of Louis a. Borsheim having in his
hand rough diamond half as large as
hens egg which he had picked up in
q gravel pit near Denver, where he
worked last summer. For three months
Ahern carried the diamond around in
his pocket without suspecting its ma
ture. Borheim says the diamond is
worth at least $4,000 and probably
more.
Ahern worked in gravel pit. One
day he saw stone SO different from
the others that he picked it up and put
it in his pocket as a pocket piece. Sew
eral weeks ago he moved to Omaha.
Yesterday he gave the pocket piece to
his little daughter to play with. and
the child in an effort to make the
stond round SO it would roll struck it
with a hammer and broke off splin-
ter.
Ahern, seeing the clearness of the
crystal, took the stone from the child
and carried it to the jeweler. Ahern
says that one day just after discovering
the stone he came within an ace OF
flowing it at dog that was following

WAS CONSIDERED
INCURABLE BUT WAS
CURED BY SAGWA

The following statement was volun-
tarily given for publication by Mrs
H. b. Look of Bangor, who had tried
different remedies and many doctors
and was pronounced invalid, but is
now a firm believer in the Kickapoo
Remedies, as is evidenced by the fol-
lowing testimonial:
Il was a terrible sufferer from in
herent canker Of the stomach, in
capable of performing it's duties OF
digestion, and also manifested itself in
running sores in my mouth.
II tried all the remedies I could find
and also sought the aid of the doc
tors, hut all to no avail-and was con-
sidered an incurable from an inherent
disease-as my family has suffered
from the same disease. Then 1 saw
tho advertisement of the Kickapoo
Indian Sagwa for stomach trouble. I
decided to try a bottle of Sagwa, as
last hope, but really without any
confidence.
After taking the first bottle the
effect gave me much encouragement
SO much 50 in fact that l decided to
give Sagwa a thorough trial and in
all took II bottles, which thoroughly
cleansed my blood; the mouth sores
disappeared, my stomach performed
it's functions perfectly, and since then,
a period of fifteen years-I have been
absolutely free from what was con-
sidered an incurable disease of the
stomach.
"Thc beneficial effect of Sagwa led
ME to investigate the other kickapoo
Remedies with the result that 1 found
a most complete assortment of medi-
-cires for family ailments. among
which I cannot commend too strongly
the kickapoo Suppositories--a sure
remedy for female troubles; the Kick
apoo Oil and the Kickapoo Salve are
indeed a safeguard for burns, neural
gia, pains. piles, boils. etc, etc.
