To have the pains and aches
of a bad back removed—to be
entirely free from annoying,

enough to make any kidney
sufferer grateful. The follow

hundreds ot Newark readers.

is good proof of their worth.”

ASKS CO-OPERATION
IN FIGHTING TICKS
Systematic Tick Eradication
| is to be conducted in this ter
ritory this season. All per
sons owning or having control
of any cattle, should know
that systematic work means
(he dipping of all cattle. The
regulations provide that all
cattle should be dipped regu
larly every 21 days, except
when excused from dipping
by an inspector. Cattle kept
within the incorporate limits
of towns should be dipped the
same as those kept on the out
side. It is hoped that every
one having cattle in their
charge will co-operate, by
bringing or sending them to
the vat regularly on dipping
days, and help finish up the
work this season.

How foolish then for farmers
