MINERALIZED WATER
ROUTS CHICKEN LICE
Tablets Dropped into Drinking Founts
Banish Vermin, Make Fowls Grow
Faster and Increase Egg Yield.
Any poultry raiser can easily rid his
flock of lice and mites, make chickens
grow faster and increase their egg
yield by simply adding minerals to the
fowls' drinking water. This does away
with all bother, such as dusting, greas-
ing, dipping and spraying. The neces-
sary minerals can now be obtained in
eouvenien tablets, known as l'aratabs.
Boon after the fowls drink the mineral-
ised water, all lice and miles leave
them. The tablets also act as a tonic
conditioner. The health of the fowls
quickly improves, they grow faster and
the egg yield frequently is doubled.
Little chicks that drink freely of the
water never will be bothered by mites
or lice.
The method Is especially recommend-
ed for raisers of purebred stock, as
there is no risk of soiling the plumage.
The tablets are warranted to Impart
no flavor or odor to the eggs nnd meat.
This remarkable conditioner, egg tonic
and lice remedy costs only a trifle and
Is sold under an absolute guarantee.
The tablets are scientifically prepared,
perfectly safe, and dissolve readily In
water.
Any reader of this paper may try
them without risk. The laboratories
producing Paratabs are so confident of
good results that to introduce thein to
every poultry raiser they offer two big
|>1 packages for only $1. Send no money.
Just your name and address—a card
will do—to the I'nratab Laboratories,
Dept. 827, 1100 Coca Cola Bldg., Kan-
sas Olty, Mo., and the two $1 pack-
ages, enough for 100 gallons of water,
will be mailed. Pay the postman $1
and postage on delivery, and if you are
not delighted with results in 10 days—
If your chickens are not healthier, lay-
ing more Yggs and entirely free from
lice and mites—your money will be
promptly refunded. Don't hesitate to
accept this trial offer as you are fully
protected by this guarantee.

TORNADO STRIKES
SULPHUR, OKLAHOMA
ONE MAN KILLED AND TWENTY-
SIX BUILDINGS ARE DE-
STROYED.
COURTHOUSE LAID IN WASTE
Several Are Injured Se-ioualy, While
A Score Escape With Painful
Bruises.
kulphur, Ok. One man is dead,
five persons are in hospitals, serious-
ly injured, and the business district
almost devastated in the aftermath
of a tornado which struck '.his com-
munity at 3:23 o'clock Monday after-
noon.
The property loss is now estimated
at more than $2(1',.000.
Eight business buildings were
wrecked, t.:e courthouse laid in waste
and the Summit Hotel and Presby-
terian Church destroyed. Fifteen
residences were blown down.
More than a score of persons sus-
tained minor injuries.
Thomas Watkins, was killed in his
home, while his wife and three child
ten escaped with few scratches.
Those injured seriously include Frank
Buchanan, ?'ounty Treasurer; Mrs.
Maude trance. Mr. a d Mrs. Matham
and a Mr. Montgomery. These are
the injured convoyed to the one hos-
pital here, which was situated out-
side the path of the tornado.
Older citizens say the tornado was
similar in its peculiarity to the one
v hich wiped Draper, a small town
near here, off the map a few years
fgo.
The twister brought a heavy rain-
storm. Ominous clouds preceding the
tornado had sent scores of persons
scurrying i/iome. Then came the fun
nei-shaped cloud that swooped down-
ward, cutting a swath two blocks
wide in the west side of the town.
That so few persons were hurt out
of a population of 3,000 was regarded
as a miracle.
Some of the residences were lifted
from foundations and carried only a
few yards away. The courthouse was
an old building. One side was ripped
out, the roof carried away, and then
came nearly all the rest of the
structure tumbling into a pile of de
bris.
The County Treasurer was injured
by flying brick and mortar as he
was fleeing the county structure.
Many persons who escaped with
mere scratches had been blown from
their yards and porches and carried
several yards beyond their homes.
Rescuers had organized a short
time after the storm passed and gave
first aid to the injured. Telephone
and telegraph communication was
cut on', but was being partly re
stored late Monday night.
Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants fcr Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judgir, g from reports from druggists
•vho are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that |
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of I*. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, m
an interview on the subject, made the as-
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and tlie
large majority of those whoBe applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham-
ton. N. Y., for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention thiB paper.

Pops Gregory XIII Left Lasting Monu-
ment—Other Famous Heads of
the Roman Church.
Of all the long list of popes, Greg-
nrv XIII lias probably left the most
lasting monument, for he framed the
calendar we use today, and it still
bears his name. Gregory completed
his calendar In l.r>82.
In more modern times a pope of cut-
standing personality was Pius IX. who
in 1K46 broke the age-old tradition that
the pope should never preach a ser-
mon. It happened in this way. A ;
famous preacher of the time. I'adre ■
Ventura, whose eloquence attracted,
great crowds, had arranged to preach j
at a church in Rome, but at the last
moment he was taken ill and the dis- ,
appointed people were about to dis- j
perse when suddenly the hells rang
and it Mas announced that the sov- !
ereign pontiff had arrived in the j
church. The pope entered the pnlpit
and preached a sermon which the his- |
torian of the time has described as a I
'simple, good, plain sermon, easily in- !
telliglhle to all." It was the first time
a pope had preached for 300 years.

who began a sermon with the words:
" 'Rreddern and sistern, when de
fust man. Adam, was created, lie was
made outer wet clay and set up agin

"A member rose in the hack of the
church.
" Tawson,' he said, incredulously, I

" 'Item's mail words, Rr'er Simcox.

parson severly. 'Such fool questions 1

WHY THE NAME "MOONSHINE"'
Paternal Influence.
"Whom does Charles take his mu-
sical talent after?"
"Well, his father never liked work."
—Judge.
A bright girl doesn't think herself
an angel just because some mail tells ,
her she is.
When people actual

In Earlier Years the Illicit Liquor Was
Supposed to Be Made Only
at Night.
America calls the liquor illicitly dis-
tilled, especially in the Alleghany
mountains, "moonshine." The appar-
ent reason is that it is believed to be
distilled at night and secretly trans-
ported without payment of a tax or the
authority of official permit. The fact
is, Of course, that the secret stills
work a* hard in day as at night.
England used the word in similar
manner, though not in the same
sense. Over there moonshine is
liquor that has been smuggled into
the country witiu/ft payment of a tax.
The smuggling is usually done by
small boats from the continent, that
hind tit lonely shores at night, and the
cargo is unloaded 1 y the light of the
moon. It wtts this that gave tne liquor
its generic name.
American moonshine is raw, im-
aged and often uncolored spirits. Brit-
ish moonshine may be the finest lira ti-
dy from France, the choicest rum from
Jamaica. In the British isles, especially
Ireland, the popular name for hotne-
distilled spirits is "mountain dew," be-
cause it is in the hills that it is made,
far from the prying eyes of the ex-
cise man.
PreKstoric Ruins.
The fascinating interest of the
ancient ruins in Rhodesia. South Afri-
ca, drew the attention of flie arch-
eologists of the British association
during its recent meetings sit Cape
Town. Among these ruins the most
conspicuous is the great Zimbabwe
temple, which lies about 2<mi miles in-
land from the Indian ocean. The old-
est of the ruined buildings are be-
lieved to date back at least to the
days of King Solomon. It is thought
that they Mere constructed by Semitic
colonists. \v11osi chief object was gold
mining, and who have left indications
of their worship of Baal and Aslifa-
rotli, as described in the Bible. Ex-
perts believe that precious metals to
the value of or $4,000,000
must have been extracted from the
gold reefs of Rhodesia in ancienj
times.
Nothing New to Her.
Elizabeth's grandparents, although a

j argument.
Two little girls who were playing
with Elizabeth paused in astonishment
at some heated discussion between the
j old couple.
Elizabeth, impatient at the interup-
tion, exclaimed, "Oh. come on ! Don t
1 pay any attention. They quarrel lik#
! that all the time."

Labor Board Declines To Expel Lines

Chicago, ill—An attempt to bar a

States Railroad Labor Board failed
Monday when Vice Chairman Ben W
Hooper ruled against evidence pre
sented by railway employes to show
that toad:; had violated the law and
should therefore have no standing

The ruling brought out that action
cn cases involving these roads,
charged with violation of the trans-
portation act because of contracting
s'.iop work to outside firms, is ex-
pected soon. The question at issue,
Vice Chairman Hooper said, was 'me
of the most important the board has
faced. If such contract work was
declared legal, he added, the ground
would he cut out from under this
board and the vitals of the trans-
nortation act would be killed.
The ruling was made over the vig-
orous protest of B. M. Jewel!, head
of the shop crafts unions.

TX7ASH1NGTON. — The conference |
resulted in definite moves toward
world peace, including these:
A ten year quadruple treaty between
the United States, Great Britain,
France, and Japan, pledging the pow- i
ers to respect each others' territory in
the Pacific and calling for a confer-:
ence of nations when the peace of the
Pacific region Is threatened, this com-
pact to abrogate the long standing
Anglo-Japan alliance.
A five-power treaty by the United
Stsites, Great Britain, France. Italy,
and Japan, limiting the size of their
navies; scrapping all building pro-
grams and nearly 800.000 tons of
battleships, the pact to run for fifteen
years.
A five-pow< r treaty condemning and
forbidding under internatlonsil hiw the*
use of posoin gas in warfare and mak-
ing it illegal and an act of piracy for
a submarine to attack or sink a mer-,
chant ship. ,
A three-power agreement by the
United States, Great Britain, and Ja-
pan, providing for tlie maintenance
of the stsitus quo in Pacific fortifica-
tions and naval bases.
Settlement between Japan and China
of the long standing and threatening.
Shiintttng controversy, whereby Japan
restores to China the province of
Shantung and China -requires the.
Shantung raj I road on terms satisfac-!
torv to the powers.
An agreement of the nine power*
to adhere to and revitalize the "open
door" policy incorporated into a treaty!
with China which makes tnan.v provi-
sions for breaking the International!
shackles upon that republic.
Modification by Japan of the "twen-
ty-one demands" upon China.
Treaty making allocation of former;
German cables in the Pacific.
Work Stopped on Building Battleships
"PRESIDENT HARDING is going to
get practical results from the
Washington conference on limitation
of armament at once.
Without waiting for ratification of
the naval limitation treaty, the Presi-
dent already has directed that arrange-
ments be made for stopping all work
and further expenditure of money on
ships which are now under construc-
tion and which are to be scrapped un-
der the treaty.
This action. It Is said by naval ex-
perts, will accomplish a saving to tax-
payers of approximately $5,000,000 a
month.
The Executive has authority to hold
up the expenditure without legislative
action. He believes the senate will
ratify the naval treaty, and wants to
set an example to other nations by In-
Mltuting immediately some of the
economies made possible under the
naval convention.
Of course no completed ships can he
scrapped, It was explained until the
navnt treaty has been ratified by all
signatories and been proclaimed in
force.
A saving of nbout $200,000,000 for
the United States on tlie present bulld-|
I Ing program of the navy will result.]
High naval officials, however, claimed!
the board's estimates were too high, aa|
the scrapping of ships now under con-j
structlon would involve the pu.vnienti
of claims to the builders which might!
offset a considerable portion of tliei
savings resulting from halting tliei
building program.
Limitation of armaments will efTect|
immediately, the board declared, up-'
proximately equal savings in tliei
United States, England, and Japan. Inj
France and Italy, however, no increase
In naval armaments had been con.
templated.
