Farmers should not make the mistake of leaving their young chicks to shift for themselves for the first few months. The chicks should be well fed and cared for and everything done to make them grow rapidly. In this wav, the chicks hatched in early spring will be laying in the fall and early winter. Where the fowls are stunted, on the on the other hand, it will be difficult to tf e t eggs from them while egg prices are high. F. C.

Hughes writes as follows: “I was down with stomach trouble for five (5) years, and would have sick headache so had, at times, that I thought surely I would die. I tried different treatments, but they did not seem to do me any good. -J got so bad, I could not eat or sleep, and ail my friends, except one, thought I would die. He advised me to try Thedford’s Black-Draught, and quiti taking otherNnedidaee.^ ( decided to take his advice, although I did not here any confidence in it. I have now been taking Black-Draught for three months, and it has cured me— haven’: had those awful sick headaches since I began using it. I am so thankful for what Black- Draught has done for me.” Thedford’s Black-Draught has been found a very valuable medicine for de- i * rangements of the stomach and liver. It is composed of pure, vegetable herbs, contains no dangerous ingredients, and acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely used by young and old, and should be kept in every family chest. »• , ' » - Get a package today. Only a quarter. 141 Y FIRSTT "C^AFETY FIRST!" What a splendid slogan of th; hour!
