FINE KIDNEY MEDICINE
FOR OLD PEOPLE

This is to state that for the past
seven years that l have been in the
drug business your Swamp-Root has
been in great demand especially by
the aged. Three years ago / kept the
drug store on Eighteenth avenue and
street. opposite which was
q home for aged men. The inmates
of the home were steady customers
of this wonderful remedy which re-
lieved them of various affections of
the kidneys and bladder. In the ma
jority of cases it was used for rneu-
matism, after other remedies had
failed to give them even temporary
relief. These people spoke very high
ly of its merits, and I will recommend
it to others with great pleasure, be-
ing confident of its results.
Very truly yours,

TRY \ HORSE PoRTERHoUsE

Think of buying all the fine meat
cuts, from roundsteall to porterhouse,
at from six to fifteen cents a pound!
1t can be done; it is being DONE There
are Italians, Norwegians, Germans
and Swiss in New York who are pay
ing no more than fifteen cents
pound for the choicest steaks. And
they are getting meat which for
palatability and nutritive value is far
above most of the beef tenderloins
and sirloins we consume at the pre-
Vailing price of thirty-two and thirty
six cents a pound. 1t is no. beef that
these wise foreigners are eating, but
horse meat.
The very mention of horse flesh is
unpleasant-not because one out of a
thousand knows what ii tastes like
but because we love the horse and
therefore dislike to eat him. Yet the
horse is perhaps our cleanest animal,
remarks the Popular Science Month
ly. He eats clean food, lives in a
clean environment, and keeps himself
clean. He is practically free from
tuberculosis and many other serious
diseases to which our producing
animals are subject. Notwithstanding
this, however, we continue to make
beefsteak a staple food product, de-
spite the eXorbitant prices at which
it is sold.

STOCKMEN MEET
FOREST OFFICIALS
Matter of Withdrawing Lands
From Entry is Under
Consideration

An important meeting Of stockmen
and officials of the forestry depart
ment is being held today at the court
house. Representative of the stock
industry are here from various parts
of the state, as the matter of with.
drawing from entry certain lands for
trails Is under consideration.
Under the six hundred and forty
acre homestead law there is danger
that the lands will be taken up 20
such an extent that both cattlemen
and sheepmen will have trouble in
moving their stock to the railroads for
shipment, and the latter would have
trouble in taking their sheep from
the summer to the winter ranges. II
Is proposed TO have withdrawn from
entry certain lands which may be
used for this purpose.
II Is well known fact that in the
past land has been taken up along
certain trails with the sole idea of
making shecpmen pay damages for
crossing same. In few instances a
very good living has been made off
sheepmen in this way. Now that six
hundred and forty acres instead of
one hundred and sixty acres may be
taken up. the opportunity for holding
up shecpmen Is increased.
The meeting this morning was call
ed to order by Supervisor Favre OF
the local office. He stated the object
of the meeting and then introduced

bad for the little nerves. For the
same reason exciting games should be
