WoMAN's WEAPON USED
TO SLAUGHTER RODENTS
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Ackley. Feb. 13.-William Kothen-
beutel and C. L. Fife made record for
dispatching rodents with brooms this
week, when in few minutes one day
they did as much execution with the
floor sweepers as the Piper OF Hamlln
could have done in the same length OF
time with his flute. Mr.. kothenbeutet
is manager of local produce company
and the building it occupies has late
ly become infested with rats. They be-
came so bold that they would eat the
leather strings on the managers shoes
while he sat at his desk and when he
kicked would sit on the edge Of an egg
case and wiggle their toes. Driven to
desperation he called Mr.. Fife to his
assistance and while the rodents were
playing ring around the rosy on the
warehouse floor he plugged up their
holes of exit and armed with brooms
the two men took sweet revenge. fifty :
seven sets of toes being put out of the
wiggling business.

That is What an Unserupulous Dealer
Does II He Succeeds in Selling You
Substitute for RssinoI.
Over eighteen years of constant use
by physicians and public have shown
that Resinol stops itching instantly.
and quickly heals tormeuting, unsight-
ly, skin eruptions. We have thousands
Of unsolicited testimonials that prove it.
Most druggists are only too glad to
sell Resinol to their customers because
they know that it will give satisfaction.
But few INSCRIPTIONS dealers offer.
in it's place, ointments which resemble
Resinol closely enough in name or APP
pearance to deceive the unwary.
They claim these are lust the same
as Resinol," or Just as good as Resi-
mol" But they are NOT. They are
crude limitations. often cheaply made
rand of little or no healing power. The
dishonest dealer wants to sell these i'm
itations instead of Resinol because HE
can make few cents more profit and
not because they will do your skin any
good.
We publish this to warn our Gus
toners, many of whom write that they
have been deceived by limitations of
Resinol. II anyone tries this trick on
you, insist on seeing a jar OF genuine
Resinol also. Compare the two ONT
ments and decide for yourself II the
substitute" is lust the same as Resi-
mol" Resinol is never sold in bulk, only
in opal jars with the name blown in
the bottom. Each jar comes in a blue
carton which it is unlawful to initiate.
