Heinz has lived on his farm for nifty
years and is well and favorably known
to a great many persons in that Vi
cinity.
when my wife and ! first settled
here" continued Mr. Heinz, Peoria
was just a small village and when we
would have to have anything they
didn't keep in town, I'd just yoke up
team of oxen and go to Chicago,
because we didn't have any railroad
to Chicago in those days. I worked
pretty hard on the farm up till the
time 1 am telling you about when
stomach trouble knocked me out and
had rheumatism in my left knee SO
bad my wife would put hot poultices
on it to try and rid me of the pain.
My stomach got in such bad shape that
l couldn't take anything but liquids
or soft things to eat and I tell you !
got mighty tired eating that sort of
stuff, but L, did 1t to keep from suf-
fering.
IF I'd so much as eat meat or po-

strong and hearty and 1 just hated to

chance and so / bought a bottle.
We'll. sir, that first bottle 1 took
made me sleep better and kept my
stomach from hurting me when I ate,
and seemed to put more life into me
than I had had for a long time

ing the work for me and I had the
boy get three more bottles and they
did me so much good / just couldn't
help but go out and do a little work
around the place and / began to eat
just like / used TO and l could sleep
like log and my stomach didn't hurt
me at all; in fact. found that could

bought six bottles and / shall always

KEEP FLU HOSPITAL
That Is Porter's Advice to the City
Commissioners.

Commissioners.
A special meeting of the city COM
missioners was to be held in the city
hall this afternoon at which w. L.
Porter, retired commissioner of parks
and public property, proposed to urge
the city to make arrangements to re-
tain the cottage owned by Christ's
hospital which has been used as an
emergency influenza hospital for the
last few weeks.
Porter believes that the influenza is
not yet extinct and feels that there is
every possibility that the city may yet
sustain another epidemic. AS basis
for this belief he mentioned the fact
that many cities about the country
have had to take stringent measures
very recently to prevent the rigors of
the flu from exceeding all bounds
Porter is thinking in the future and
evidently intended to assist the city to
avoid getting caught in another cpl
demic. He recounted the experiences
he had in an endeavor, which appear
ed almost impossible, to establish an
emergency hospital almost on the
instant

ENTRIES ARE LARGE
Pet Stock Show Here Is Proving a
Big Success.


Canary birds, cats, goats, rabbits
and every other kind of animals of
the household and backyard varieties
are on display in Topeka at 113 East
Sixth street. Entries in the pet stock
show have exceeded all expectations,
according to officials. The entire
showroom was practically filled by the
ciers, and extra accommodations were
today. being provided for the large
number of out of the city displays
which are arriving.
Rabbits, every kind imaginable, pre-
dominate, but the different breeds of
CAVES, dogs, pigeons, mice, canaries,
cats and even the much abused billy
goats are well represented. Interest
in the show is exceptionally high, it is
asserted, despite the fact that this is
the initial venture of its kind by the
Topeka Pet Stock association.
The show will be on all this week.
Thursday will be Topeka day, at which
time it was planned to have the judg-
ing completed. The exhibits are so
heavy, however. that the judging may
not be completed until Friday.
The slogan of the rabbit breeders
participating in the show is: .tGet the
Habitat the Rabbit" and it is typi-
cal of the entire exposition as a great
deal of the stock being shown comes
from pens being operated on a COM
mercial basis.
Thursday will be Topeka day at the
show. The show so far has exceeded
all expectations of the management.
On Thursday the Kansas State guard
band will furnish music.
Saturday will be sort of free chill
dren's day. Children of grade school
age accompanied by their school
teacher will be admitted free to the
show between the hours of a. m. and
8 p. m. There will be an attendant to
tell all about the animals, what they
are, their habits, foods, and methods
