This wonderful rat virus, which is
known as Alexander Rat-Killer, is
merely mixed with bread or meat
scraps and placed where rats, mice or
gophers can get to it. Within a few
hours after a rat has eaten Alexander
Rat-Killer he gets a high fever and
suffers terrible thirst He leaves the
barns and nesting holes and goes to
the open fields in search of pure air
and running water. Rats and mice
affected always die away from the
barns and houses, so there is no odor.
It is a scientific fact that one rat
affects others and soon the whole COL
ony leaves the buildings and dies. And
though this virus is absolutely deadly
to rats-chickens, hogs, cattle or any
farm animal can eat it and not be
affected at all. -,
So confident is Mr.. Alexander that
Alexander Rat-Killer will kill every rat
on your farm in less than weeks
time that he offers to send, as an in
troductory offer, regular $500 tube
for only $1.00. Give it according to directions,
and if at the end of weeks time you are able
farm, your money will be refunded. A big
Kansas City bank guarantees that Mr.. Alex
ander is reliable and will do as he says.
Send NO MONEY. Just write to E. r.
Alexander, Alexander Laboratories, 118 Gate
will be mailed at once When it arrives, pay
the postman only one dollar and postage on
the guarantee that if not absolutely satisfac-
tory your money will be returned without ques-
tion. Write today postcard will do-and
stop your rat losses now.

Cheaper Than Coal or Wood-Gives
Twice the Heat in Half
the Time

A wonderful new burner which
works in any coal or wood stove is
the proud achievement of the Inter-
national Heating Company 1852 N.
Broadway, Dept. 181, St. Louis, Mo.
This remarkably simple and inexpen-
sive invention heats stove and oven

all the dirt, ashes, and drudgery of
using coal or wood. It gives one of
the hottest and quickest fires known,
controlled by simple valve. It is alb
solutely safe and can be put into any
stove in a few minutes. The recent
big cut in the price of oil makes it
great money saver. The manufac-
turers offer to send this remarkable
invention on 80 days trial to any
reader of this paper. They are MAX
ing a special low price offer to one
user in each locality to whom they can
refer new customers. They also want

Easy Now to Rid
YOurFarmo ofRats
Wonderful Discovery by Noted
Scientist Kills Every Rat
Within a Weeks Time
Not a Poison.

Rats cost farmers over two hundred
millions of dollars year, through the
destruction of grain, poultry and
buildings. Farmers need no longer
suffer this loss because they can now
kill off all the rats on their farm in
less than weeks time. This is pos
sible through the remarkable discov-
cry of E. R. Alexander, Kansas City
chemist, who has perfected virus
which kills rats, mice and gophers as
though by magic. This product is not
a poison-it can be eaten by human
beings or any animal on the farm as
safely as their regular food, but
means quick, sure death to rats.

BRIEF

A famous man once got a reputa-
tion for brevity as follows: A friend
wrote at length telling him of his
marriage and gave description Of his
bride. To which the famous man re-
piled: "Dear Blank: Hurrah! Yours
Sincerely" A few years later the
mans wife died and he wrote the
famous man lengthy description of
her illness and funeral. To which he
received the following reply: "Dear
Blank: Alas! Yours truly" 49,

HISTORY
A lot of things have happened
since patriotic American citizens
rose in armed rebellion against
the government tax on whisky,
which they claimed made the
price of that necessary beverage
too high, and since a band of lib
erty loving Pennsylvania back
woodsmen offered to organize
regiment of volunteers to help
Greece gain independence from
Turkey, providing fund was
raised to furnish each man gal
lon of whisky and a bushel of corn
as provisions for the expedition.
