KEEPING SCUM FROM TANKS
Ore Of Best Methods Is to Use Very
Small Amount Of Copper SuIphate
or Blue VitrioI.

One of the best methods of keeping
the green scum from gathering In wa
ter tanks is TO use a very small
amount OF copper sulphate or blue
vitriol. Tie copper kills the organism,
which is small plantlike growth
called algae. The amount of copper
In the water will not be large enough
TO poison live stock. A proportion of
oue-haif ounce 10 60 gallons of water
is enough to kill all ordinary growth
of this kind, and IL can be repeated as
the new growths appear.

The danger Of tuberculous cattle to

not known. II the swine are still alive

Chronic cougher Died.
The burenu Inspector also reported
that week after the shipment of
hogs had been made, n milk cow--a
chronic cougher-had died and the
younger stock was allowed to devour
the carcass. Such a practice is re-
sponslhle for a great deal of tubercu-
iosis among swine In the United
States. According to bureau officials.
the fact stated should cause any live
stock farmer who finds tuberculosis
among his hogs or whose shipments of
hogs are refused because of extensive
LESSONS Of that disease. to have his
herd Of cattle tested promptly. Unless
the origin of infection is known and
removed, tuberculosis is liable to run
it's course among all the cattle and
swine on the farm.

THREW BIC SUM
Of MONEY AWAY
Real Estate Man Says the Thousands
He Spent Did Him No Good Till
..-- He Got Taniac.

"Tanlac has not only relieved my
sufferings, but it has put me in shape
to where l have actually gained TWEEN
ty-fye pounds in weight besides" de-
clared Lewis W. Stevens, a well
known real estate man, residing at
4301 Sixth avenue, Des Moincs, Iowa.
For ten years." said Mr.. Stevens,
81 was troubled with my stomach and
spent a big sum of money trying to
find relief, but l might as well have
thrown it all away as Tor the good
it did me. Nothing / ate agreed with
me and even the lightest kind OF
foods caused gas to form on my
stomach. | suffered with palpitation
of the heart so bad from this gas l
could hardly breathe, and if l ran to
catch a street car or hurried up a
flight of stairs l would puff like a
steam engine. At times l had such
severe pains and cramps in my stom-
ach they would almost double me up,
and my head ached so bad it felt like
it would burst Along with my
other troubles I had rheumatism IN
my left shoulder and arm, l was
scarcely able to raise n.y. hand above
my head. l became nervous and rest
less and l could not get any sound
sleep at night, and in the mornings l
always felt just as tired as | did when
l went to bed. l had little or no
energy and often my work was reg
ular grind.
"Tanlac has made me feel like
new man and wouldn't take anything
in the world for the good it has done
me. AS 1 said before, I have actu-
ally gained twenty-five pounds in
weight, but l am not surprised at
this, for l can hardly eat enough to
satisfy my big appetite and everything
agrees with me perfectly and 1 never
have any trouble with my stomach
In fact all of my ailments have left
me, even the rheumatism, and l sleep
like child every night. Tanlac GER
,tainly put me on my feet and / will
always recommend and praise it.
am glad Of this opportunity OF telling
everybody what it has done for me
and / hope my statement will be of
help to others who are suffering like
I did"
