"Black-Draught has been a
family medicine with us for
fifteen years," says Mr. F. M.
i Huntley, of Neosho, Mo. "I read
about it first in the Ladies Birth*
day Almanac and what read
there sounded so convincing I
rnflrifl up my mind to try Black-
Praught, as I had been trou
bled with constipation for a long
time.
"I found Black-Draught to be
' | the ideal medicine for this trou
j ble. It gave me quick relief.
Frequently I had bad headaches
: and pains, due to toxic poison, i
| By taking a course of Black*
| Draught I gave my system a
9 thorough cleansing, and I have
s©s little or no trouble eince
5 then.
"Now, if I am becoming con* fj
stipated, I take several small I
1 doses of Black-Draught, and am I
very soon feeling fine."

In Trim This
Winter ?
Watch The Kidneys After
Winter's Colds.
COLDS and grip are hard on the
kidneys. When the kidneys slow
up, impurities remain in the blood
and are apt to make one tired and
achy with headaches, dizziness and
often nagging backache. A common
warning is scanty or burning secretions.
Doan's Pills, a stimulant diuretic,
increase the secretion of the kidneys
and aid in the elimination of waste
impurities. Are endorsed by usera
everywhere, Asfy your neighbor!

Tremendous Cost of Our Rat Population
Total Wue of
THREE CROPS ~Jf
SI9IOOOOOO BARLEY RICE RY£
112 45 54
Cost of Maintaining MILLION DOLLARS MILLION MILLION
® DOLLARS DOLLARS
RAT POPULATION Ji
$200,000,000 Jk|
THE cost ot maintaining the rat population ot tnc Uniit-u Males iggregates
$200,000,000 a year, which is equal to almost two dollars, for every man,
woman and child in the country. An excellent example of the enormity of
this wanton destruction is found in comparing it with the total valuation
of some of our principal crops. The barley, rice and rye crop last year was
worth $191,000,000. If the rat population restricted its li»'t to these three
crops, it would consume the entire production and still full $9,000,000 short
of satisfying its appetite, according to the Sears Roebuck Agricultural Foun
dation. In addition to this enormous destruction of food, the rat is a carrier
of such serious diseases as bubonic plague, rabies, infections, jaundice and
sleeping sickness. \
Farmers probubly bear more than their proportionate share of this
expense by harboring them in barns and cribs. The increase in the course of
one year from one pair of rats allowed to survive under favorable conditions
may easily reach 100, since they will produce from six to ten litters a year,
areraging ten young per litter, and the young will breed when four months
of age.
Farms can be freed of these pests if proper steps are taken. These
include burning the trash which harbors them, raking refits from under such
buildings as corn cribs, piling lumber and other material a foot or more
above ground and using effective poisons. Cribs and rat burrows under con
erete can be fumigated with calcium cyanide, whic'i can be easily used by
any mature person. Red Squill is a newly developed poison which rats will
take readily when mixed with foods. It is relatively harmless to other anl
mals as it is distasteful to them and it acts as an emetic when taken bj them
in harmful quantities.

taineer who believes that man must
