COMMON SCAB AMONG SHEEP
During Past Decade Great Progress
Has Been Made in Eradication
of Ailment

Common scab was formerly the
greatest drawback to the sheep indus
try of the United States, but during
the past decade great progress has
been made in it's eradication. The
system Of grazing sheep on the open
ranges Of the western part Of the
United States was such that the flock
masters had great difficulty in keeping
the flock free from the scab. The sheep
were very frequently exposed to the
disease by infectious ranges and trails.

flocks, and in many other ways. 1t

A Chicago advertising man drove
through to the advertising convention
in Indianapolis. A few miles outside
of Indianapolis he had bad luck. His
car skidded into the ditch and he had
to wait till daylight to get someone to
pull him out.
At 3 80 a. M. he went to nearby
farmhouse, knocked at the door and
the farmers wife answered the call.
The advertising man asked: "Could
I get your, husband to pull my car
out of the ditch?'
"Well. that's too bad" she replied.
"You should have got here before
breakfast. He took the horses over
half an hour ago and is down the road
two miles there and plowin' by now"

Chicago.-Charles G. Dietrich, for
ty-seven years DID,. the auditor and
former secretary of the Windsor Fur
niture company, was killed in the Of
fees of the firm.
A policeman, installing him for a
BURGLAR shot him to death.
The Windsor company had felt the
need of an inventory. Dietrich, Sec
rotary of the firm for ten years pre-
vious to January l, 1920, had been re-
tanned as confidential adviser. The
new secretary, George Lyons, had
asked him because Of his long famil-

With a habit formed in 20 years
employment by the firm, he went to
the office to work on Sunday. Through
out the afternoon and early evening
ne toiled on the books.
Presently along the dark and de-
serted sidewalk outside came Elmer

cago Protective agency. Bradshaw
caused before the window.
The glass was dirty. The old-fash-
icned electric bulbs gave only dim
light. And half revealed, half shad-
owed, Bradshaw saw man lingering
the combination of the old-fashioned
safe. He watched him for q moment.
Then he turned and softly ran to
telephone and called police headquar-
tefS.
A f1ivver squad armed for action,
rushed forth. They drove up to the
deserted corner.
Meanwhile Dietrich had grown tired
of his work and started to lock his
memoranda in the safe.
There came q tap on the window.
Dietrich looked up. Outside in the
gloom were several forms.
The Summons Of Death.
"Come out here; we want to talk
to you; we're police officers" said De-
aective Sergeant Frank Lorenz.
Dietrich on another night months
ago had observed forms like that
while working late. They had been
robbers, bent on attacking the safe.
But at the moment they had shot at
him he had baked them by slamming
the door and fleeing toward the rear
of the place. And he tried that plan
again.
His hand reached for the dangling
chain Of the light bulb that would

rear door, leaving the light on, Lor-
enz fired second time.
Dietrich fell. Two more shots

Important to all Women
Readers of this PAPER

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous irrita-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one 80.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to b. just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing ten cents to DIR.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parce!
Post. You can purchase medium and
large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.
