To Cut Down the Loss

Jacob Buss has fine crop of hay and grain on his homestead west of town, this year, and he plans to use practically all of it to feed to his cattle. He has a nice bunch of cattle on the range, and it is his intention to cut down the heavy winter loss es by supplementary feeding. During the winter he will keep watch of his stock and run them in and feed them thru the severe storms. He tried the plan last winter and found that his cattle soon learned to make their way homeward when the weather got extremely bad. In this way he will keep his COWS from getting so thin during the winter and both they and their calves will do much better when spring opens. His per centage of calves, too, will be materially increased. This is a plan that many stockmen arc contemplating and that will very likely be generally adop fed in the near future.

U. s. MAKING THE
 DESERTS ACCESSIBLE
United States Geological Sur vey to Mark and Develop Watering Places

To make the desert regions of the western part of the Unit ed States more accessible by locating their widely separated watering places and erecting hundreds of signposts to give directions and distances to the watering places is an interest ing and practical project re- gently undertaken by the Unit ed States Geological Survey, Department of Interior. The project involves also the mak- ing of accurate maps showing the locations of the watering places, of preparing guides de- scribing them and giving the distances between them, of se- lecting we'll sites, and of devel- oping watering places (so far as money available will per mit) in localities where water is most needed and where the geologic investigations indicate that underground supplies can be obtained. It is expected that this work will help to ex- pedite the discovery and devel- opment of the rich mineral de- posits in parts of these regions It will, of course, also be valu-
 able in other respects.

At the Office Every Day

Patients are coming every day to
be treated for rectal disorders. /
am now deVodng my entire time to
those who come to the office and
am enabled to apply the necessary
treatments and complete cure in
less time than in the past.
Every patient is surprised at the
progress made after the first
treatment has been given. Nearly
every one who has suffered from
PILES for some time, has tried the
various remedies and treatments
usually to find that Immediately
treatment, much soreness has
arisen.
In my special, scientific treat
ment, the first application does
not cause pain and NO SORENESS
ARISES WHATEVER. The effect
is to the contrary. Such irrita-
ton as there is, is alIayed and the
start is made toward normal condi-
tons again.
Don't waste your time with the
remedies which have proven inad-
cquate and ineffective. COME
WHERE YOU CAN MAKE
PROGRESS.

DON'T try to figure out the meth
cd of treatment which 1 give.
When you come to my office 1 will
tell you frankly, show you better
than it can be done in print or i'm
agination.
If your case of PILES has not
developed to the stage requiring
many treatments, it Is possible, if
YOU come during this coming week
to have you sound and we'll by
Christmas or the first of the year.
when you stop to think how
short a time would eIapse between
now and when you could step out
and into your work with the l0nOWI-
edge that you are sound person
again, it is worth some serious
thought on your part.
Bear in mind that a consultation
or an examination is not n life and
death matter but if you come, you
will go away wiser than when you
came, regarding the subject of rec
tai disorders.
No charge for examination OF
