MEN MAY EASILY
BECOME STRONG
1t Is Claimed Men of This
Country Are Losing
Their Vitality.
Wagner Medicine Com
pany Believes It Has the
Best Restorative.
NO ADVANCE MONEY
PAY IF SATISFIED

Here is the story, very brief,
very clear and direct to the point:
The Wagner Medicine company,
600 Nassau building, Denver,
Colo; has the utmost confidence
in Wagner's Formula A for restor-
alton of vigor in men--for ner-
vous debility and general weak
mes. But you, the one afflicted,
do not know anything about this
remedy-it may be no better than
some others you have tried for
aught you know.
Therefore, this company does
not ask you to pay for its Formula
A in advance-it would much
rather have you take the medicine
first and pay for it after taking
if satisfied that it has sufficiently
benefited you to warrant payment.
If 1t fails to produce the results
you wish or expect, the months
medicine costs you nothing-it
will have been free to you, and
you will be under NO obligation
whatever to the Wagner Medicine
company. Is this proposition
plain? Every word of it is meant
just as 1t reads-there are no
Ifs" lands" or "equivocations."
The Wagner Medicine company
knows its Formula Ait believes
YOU will willingly pay 50 for the
months medicine, after taking, if
you are satisfied 1t has been worth
that much to you. Your money is
not wanted by this company unless
it is earned, and you are to Judge
whether or not it is earned.
A full months supply to you,
prepaid. Send your name and adj
dress, plainly written. enclosing 25
cents, stamps or coin. This rs
cents is not received as payment
on the medicine, but as a guaran-
tee that you are not a curiosity
seeker-and, If the remedy is not
satisfactory, and you do not care
to pay for it after taking, the 25
cents will be refunded on demand.
No general delivery addresses an
swered.
Now-today-you should take
advantage of this offer. Address,
The Wagner Medicine Company,

Colo.

Baby Week Idea

sive citizen who stands in the
middle of the road in an attempt
to impede the steps of progress.
As To Instinct.
In this instance he bitterly de-
nounces baby week as molly
coddle pastime and upholds his
argument with the age-old pro-
verb that Instinct teaches the
mother how to properly care for
her babe"
If this be true then figures lie,
for in the United States alone
last year 100000 infants died
from causes whicH could have
been prevented. The verdict is
either ignorance or carelessness
on the part of mothers.
Ii is well known fact that in
stinct is strongest in those who
live close to ntaure.
Instinct prompted the primitive
mother to care properly for her
baby because of this.
Why We Have Baby Week.
In we olden days, before the
time of filthy crowded tenement
houses and germ-laden atmos-
phere, children thrived on coun-
try air, pure water, and whole
some farm-grown products.
Today, the mothers who
haven't the price to pay for the
best, must wage incessant war
on bad housing conditions, i'm
pure air, impure water, dirty and
dishonest milkmen and adulterat-
ed foods.
If they are not prepared for
the conflict the result is puny,
sickly children or death.
And as figures have already
proved, they are not prepared, or
at least the majority of them.
That's why Uncle Sam is coming
to the aid of his future citizens.
That's why we have Baby Week.
That's why each and every one
of us who has the good of our
country at heart should do all
within our power to make the re-
suits of this campaign far-reach-
ing.

At al early age, EuSeHe Iuilen
was an express driver. He hap-
died railroad baggage. One dag
after delivering heavy trunk on
an upper floor he felt a pain in
the right groin. The suffering
increased, and it was not long
before the young man noticed
the swelling.
The doctor told young Pullen
that he was ruptured and that he
must either wear truss through
out life or submit to a drastic
operation. ALL surgeons know
that hernia operations, with an
aesthetics, etc, are dangerous;
they may end fatally. Moreover
it is a well established fact that
many rupture operations are not
successful; the bowel soon
breaks through the sewed-up
Opening and protrudes worse than
ever.
Afraid of Operation.
Like most others, Mr.. Pullen
declined to take the risks of an
operation; the expense and loss
of time had to be considered,
too. Hoping he might get little
better encouragement, he went to
another physician who, to his sor-
row, gave him even less hore. 1t
was pointed out to the young man
that unless the rupture were per-
fectly held all the time or the
surgeons knife successfully used,
he might expect an increase or
doubling in the rupture with fur
ther complications, or the dread
ed strangulated hernia which kills
SO many ruptured people.
Victim of Trusses.
The victim bought truss, a
hard, spring-like affair, the best
he could get. 1t tortured him.
He tried another-still no relief.
He was compelled to give up his
express business. The hard tasks
of ordinary men were forbidden
him. He became an insurance
agent, in which position he did
not need to do bodily work.
For six years Mr.. Pullen drag
ged around, using various trusses,
hard, elastic, etc., with never any
contentment. One day his mother
told him something she had just
found out. 1t was a simple and
easy thing for him to do. He lost
no time.
Discarded His Truss.
Relief came at once; he almost
forgot that he had any rupture
Afterward came a cure-a COM
plete healing-and, although
years have passed and Mr.. Pullen
is an energetic carpenter, work
ing on buildings, climbing over
roofs, lifting lumberD and such
like, he is absolutely free from
the old hernia. He knows he is
completely, lastingly cured. There
was no operation, no lost time. mo
trouble-comfort and content
ment from the very outsNt. He
is a strong, cheerful-minded man.
Valuable Information Free
The valuable information which
Mrs. Pullen read in a newspaper
many years ago~and gave to her
son, together with further import
ant facts, will be sent free to any
reader of this who writes to Eu-
gene M. Pullen, 1016B Marcellus
avenue, Manasquan, N. j., enclos-

the kind of rupture you have,

H your effort to cure it. A legion

MONTGOMERY COUNTY
WITHOUT GOVERNMENT

Mt. Sterling, KY, March 1.-THE
affairs of Montgomery county, so far
as attending to official business, are
tied up. This condition is brought
about by the injunction granted by
Judge Young restraining the new
County Commissioners from trans
acting any business, and the men,
bers of the Fiscal Court are afraid
to take any action for fear their or
ders would be illegal should Judge
Young be reversed.
To add to the completely of the
matter County Treasurer Charles T..
Hazelrigg says that he will not rec
ognize either side as far as payment
of claims against the county out of
the funds in his hands.
Judge Young held the law Great
ing the county commission form Of
government was unconstitutional.
The Fiscal Court, which usually
holds a meeting on the first Tues
day in the month, did not meet
this week.

BRITAIN AND FRANCE
CONTROL N. Y. EXPORTS

Washington, March 11.-Great
Britain and France were described
as virtually dictators as to what
kind of commodities shall be ex-
ported through the port of New
York in a statement to the inter-
state commerce commission by C. J..
Austin, of the New York Produce
exchange. Mr.. Austin was the first
witness to-day at the informal con-
ference between shippers and car
riers on the problem of congested
freight terminals at eastern sea-
ports.
ut is well known" said Mr.. Aus
tin, that the British government
dictates what We shall ship and
what we shall not ship. A ship
which loads without permission of
the British government is imme-
diately requisitioned. The same
condition applies now to French
lines. The allies have their fingers
on nearly everything afloat."
Mr.. Austin declared that the die
power of the two belliger-
ent governments extended only to
their own ships and not to those of
Holland, Denmark and other neu-
trail nations. Shippers contracts,
he added, were conditioned on re-
QUESTIONING of boats by belligerent
1T is situation you cannot con-
.ro1 and there Is no argument about
t." Mr.. Austin said.
