PHYSIC FOR CATTLE
Successful StOckman Has Used
Sal Hepatica for Several Years
With Much Satisfaction

Why not try a physic for cat
tie which bloat on alfalfa? A
successful stockman has tried
sal hepatica satisfactory for sew
eral years. A dose of two table
spoonfuls is given in a pint of
warm water as soon as the bloat
is discovered, and it gives relief
in a few minutes. This looks
like an honest effort to mitigate
the great evil of bloat and is
we'll worth a trial, for all dairy
men have lost valuable cattle
from this complaint, which may
have it's origin in dyspepsia or
Indigestion; but all require at
least temporary relief to first
save the cow and then cure her.

AMERICAN CITIZEN HELD.
Local Man on Visit to Russia, Is De-
 tained There.

Although an American citizen, Val enti Nogic, whose family, a wife and several small children, resides at 20 Lawlor street, is being detained in Russia unable to secure his release to return to his home. For many years Nogic was a resident of this country, formerly living in Hartford. He com- piled with all the regulations pertain ing to securing his citizenship papers and was made a citizen of the U. $. A. Being of thrifty nature, Nogic saved his money and shortly before the out break of the European war he re- turned to his native land to visit his mother. He left money enough to care for his family during the time of his intended stay in Russia. When 1t
 came time to return here, he was de- tained, and the meager information
 received by his wife does not say
 whether or not he has been pressed
 into war service.
 Shortly after his departure his wife
 gave birth to a child and for some time did not enjoy good health. Re- gently her savings having been spent, l she was forced to obtain employment and has been doing domestic work 1 for local families. The case has been brought to the attention of Mayor | Ouigley, who has sought the assist l ance of Congressman F. Davis Oakley, l and efforts will be made through the l Russian consul to secure Nogic's re- !
