HANDICAPPED
This is the Case with Many Wa
Keeney People.

Too many Wa-Keeney citizens
are handicapped with bad back.
The unceaSing pain causes con-
slant misery, making work a
burden and STOPPING or lifting an
impossibility. The back aches
at night,> preventing refreshing
rest and in the morning is stiff
and lame. Plasters and lini
ments may give relief but cannot
reach the cause. To eliminate
the pains and aches you must
cure the kidneys.

tly Can you doubt Wa-Keeney

Securing Right of Way.

The Nebraska, Kansas & South
ern Railway Company is now at
work in this county taking deeds
to right of away for the road A
F. McCarty, Assistant General
Manager and Right of Way
Agent, is here in charge of the
work, and is being assisted by
o. l.. Lennen, of Ness City. The
land owners in F'inney and
Hodgeman counties have donated
practically all of the right of way
for the railroad through those
counties, and it is hoped and ex-
pected that Ness county will do
as well by the enterprise as those
counties have done, and thus in
sure the early commencement of
work on the line here.
Mr.. McCarty informs this pa
per that there are now about six
and a half miles of completed
road at Garden City, that the
first section of sixteen miles is
all ready for the ties and rails,
and that Scott & Smith, who are
laying the steel, and who have
the contract for the construction
of the entire line. have put a
force of several teams to work
grading on section two, near the
Pawnee valley.
The financial affairs of the road
are in good shape, but the ar
engagements by which the com
pany expects to secure the mon
ey for the construction of the
rest of the line are such that the
promoters have to, comply with
some very stringent conditions
and raise large amount of mon
ey within themselves. In fac
the company has to finance the
entire first section of Is miles
after which they can draw OF
the proceeds of the sale of theil
bonds to the syndicate of foreign
bankers. The right of way tina

Here is something that will
interest every farmer in the
county and lots of town people:
Cows suffer greatly in summer
from flies. There is a cheap pre-
paration which will keep flies off
of cows. The Kansas station
uses this: Two cakes of laundry

With this mix 1 ID pounds of
rasin, half pint of fish oil and
enough water to make 3 gallons.
Add half pint of kerosene when
ready to use. and apply with a
brush or spray pump. Each COW
should be given about half pint

No. He would give her the benefit
