EULOGY ON THE
OLD MILCH COW
The Manifold Uses to Which That
Faithful Old Animal is Put
in This Country.
One of the best live stock auc
tioneers in the state of Iowa is
Col. F. M. Woods, of Nevada,la.
At a sale recently held at Spring
field, Col., as he had mounted the
block to sell a fine looking old
milch cow he stopecl for a moment
to look the animal over and then
said:
“( )f all the animal friends of man
she is the greatest. I wish that J,
as you ar about to sit down to
your Sunday dinner, might take
from your table what she had
placed thereon. I would remove
the cup of milk waiting at the
baby’s chair. I'd take the cream,
the cheese, the butter, the custard
pie, the cream biscuit, the roast of
beef, and leave you a meal of po
tatoes, beets, pickles and tooth
picks.
“Every scrap of her. from nose
to tail, is used by man. We use
her horns to comb our hair, her
skin upon our feet, her hair keeps
the plaster on our walls, her hoofs
makes glue and her tail makes
soup. Her blood is used to make
our sugar white, her bones are
ground to fertilize our soil.
“She has gone with man from
Plymouth Rock to the setting sun.
It was her son that turned the sod
in tin1 settler's clearing; it was her
sons that drew the prairie schoon
er for the sturdy pioneers, while
she followed. And when the day's
march was done she came and
gave the milk to till the mother’s
breast to feed the sucking babe
that was perchance to become the
ruler of his country.”
GOOD ROADS VERSUS
RURAL FREE DELIVERY
[continued from fade 6]
but we are not going to give the
money away—we intent to build
good roads ‘on shares’. For ev
ery mile that you, as a County,
will build, we the State and Na
tion, together, will build another
mile, share and share alike, until
all of the $100,000,000.00 has been
used up.”
"What then if Instead of $100,
000,000.00 there would be each
year $*200,000,000.00 expended on
good roads, or 40,000 miles of
magnificent highways constructed
in America each year. In ten
years we would have 400,000 miles,
in 25 years (a single generation)
we could construct in America,
one million miles of magnificent
highways, with the same money
we are now expending for Rural
Free Delivery.
Which do you, as a citizen,
prefer:—a million miles of perma
nent highways, or Rural Free De
livery?

BILIOUSNESS
AND
aa
CONSTI PATIO
CURED BYJ|
THEDFORDS
BLACK-DRAUGHT
Because the liver is
neglected people suffer
■with constipation, biliousness,
headaches and fevers. Colds attack
the lime's and contagious diseases
take hold of the system. It is safe
to say that if the liver were always
kept in proper working order,
illness would be almost unknown.
Thedford’s Black-Draught is so
successful in curing such sickness
because it is without a rival as a
liver regulator. This great family
medicine is not a strong and
drastic drug, but a mild and
healthful laxative that cures con
stipation and may he taken by a
mere child without possible
harm.
The healthful action on the liver
cures biliousness. It has an in
vigorating effect on the kidneys.
Because the liver and kidneys do
not work regularly, the poisonous
acids along with the waste from
the bow’els get back into the blood
and virulent contagion results.
Timely treatment with Thed
ford's Black-Draught removes the
dangers which lurk in constipation,
liver and kidney troubles, and will
positively forestall the inroads of
Bright's disease, for winch dis
ease in advanced stages there is
no cure. Ask your dealer for a
‘25c. package of Thedford’s Black
Draught.
