Columbus, Ohio, June %, 1917-The
A. J. Hull Medicine Co, Gentlemen:
Am very glad to give my testimony
as your great medicine, Hull's Super
lative, has certainly done wonders for
me. l had suffered with liberation
of the stomach and bowels for at least
Is years, also sick bilious headaches.
Had an examination made by my doc
tor, and he told me | had ulcers of
the stomach and bowels, but by being
very careful and avoiding things to
eat that did not agree with me l might
probably be cured without an opera
ton, but it would take several years.
The last three years my condition be-
gan to grow worse, and one year ago
| had entirely given up all hopes Of
ever being a well woman again, as l
could not eat any thing but breakfast
food and milk, and very little of that.
| had a ravenous appetite suffered
when | did not eat and a great deal
more when / did eat, and | could not
even drink water without suffering
severe pain, also had indigestion in
the worst form. One day my little
boy came in and handed me one of
your circulars, that was about eight
months ago; and | must say that 1t
certainly was a God send to me. |
started taking your medicine right
away, and now can say that | can en-
JOY good meal three times a day,
and eat almost any thing | want, and
| am also rid of those dreadful head
aches, which | had for years. Was
very nervous, and at times thought |
would go insane, but now | am so
much better that | feel positive that
by continuing to use your medicine
little while longer would be entirely
cured as it certainly is wonderful
medicine. and | cannot say too much
for it. l would not be without it, and
will recommend it to any one.
| am yours truly,
MRS. FRANK ELS,
923 E. Long St, Columbus, Ohio.

other states will try the same plan.
He said he thought American
women could work elsewhere at bet
ter advantage than in farm work. In
the city high schools of Illinois last
year the boys were taught care Of
horses and how to drive them. Ordi-
nary city teamsters taught them dur
ing certain hours every day. SO when
boys from Chicago went on to the
farms in April and May they already
knew which end of the horse to put
the collar on.
On Saturday afternoon. Miss Soren-
sons, who was playground director,
gave an exhibition of the folk dances

dances in costume, all of which were

The boys were taught scientific
wrestling. and how to be good sports
in all their games.

SEEMS NEAR
Foreclosure Sale Occurs Of the Land
Of the Company That Promised
Much and Performed
Little.

David E. Mack, master in chanceTy
of the circuit court at Carthage, sold
in foreclosure, the land of the Elec-
trio Smelter and Reduction company.
at Hamilton, at the court house door
Saturday. 1t was bought in by L. G..
Macarthur, attorney for the Taber
Lumber company, plaintiffs in the
suit on a mechanics lien, and it Is
said that he acted in harmony with
the Mississippi River Power company,
the McManus Quarries company, the
American Cement Machine company
and the Pechstein Iron works, other
creditors of the defendant electric
plant company.
This seems the termination Of the
local activities of a company that
promised much and performed less a
year or SO ago. 1t is one Of the
wheels within the big wheel of very
much advertised promotion company
of Chicago which built small plant
below the eastern end of the dam.
Hamilton never enthused too much
over the prospect, and investigation
did not increase the enthusiasm.
At one time circulars issued by the
proprietors quoted a Chattanooga,
Tenn, newspaper article to the effect
that the Hamilton company had found
1t necessary to build the great Keo-
kuk water-power to get current
enough for its activities. How much
stock was sold in the company is I'M
known here, but a Chicago man who
said he had $4,000 invested in it, was
here once hunting the plant with
some descriptions of 1t as guide
