Pain is no respecter of persons" says
DR.. e. L. Abogado. 1t knows no distinc-
ton of race, creed or wealth. The pain of
the man of millions with his equity foot is
just as excruciating as is that of the most
lowly citizen nursing his jaw in a frenzy of
neuralgia. For the time being the one
thought uppermost in the minds of both Is
that they would gladly give their all to get
rid of the pain.
The prominent symptoms of most dis
eases are pain and fever and have found
that anti-kamnia tablets are equally as
effective as fever reducers as they are as
pain believers. Therefore, IN any diseases
where pain or fever exist either separately
or together, anti-kamnia tablets have their
proper use. For instance, have used them
with most gratifying results in the treat
meut of all kinds of headaches, migraine,
coryza, Ia grippe: and its after effects: as
a sedative in Indigestion. Rastralgia, dys-
pepsia, hystcrfa and fnsomnia an anti
pyretic in intermittent, puerperal and
malaria fevers, bronchitis pleurisy, etc;
and in acute and chronic neuralgias, ear
ache. toothache, and the pains of sciatica,
rheumatism and govt"
Anti-kamnia tablets will quickly give you
the desired relief. Obtainable in any GUAM
sity desired. Ask for AK Tablets.

Attention Live Stock Breed. CTS, Feeders and Fi-
 nancierS.

At the present moment Europe has unquestionally slaughtered not only the annual increase of its breeding herds of live stock but tremendous numbers of the foundation stock itself.
 When the war is over, Euro pean farmers will undertake first the production of grains, because they can do that most quickly.
 These two facts argue not only strong demand for our meat products now but a tre- mendous demand for them on the cessation of the war.
 Our farmers will probably pro- duce this year the greatest crops of feeding grains and roughage of our history.
 Patriotism, which. means eff cient prosecution of the war, and our best economic interests lead us to the same conclusions.
 First, the farmers and live stock men of this country must 
 maintain and increase their breeding herds for the profitable period after the war Second, the feed crops raised this year must be further utilized l in the flushing of animals fiji for slaughter.r~s
 These two plans present the surest means of profitably mar. keting feed crops in the face oi probable large yield and possi ble railroad congestion. ] If all of this sounds reason act on it.
