Caldwell, 457 Washington St., Monticello, Illinois EIGHT T/IOUSAND PRISONERS ANO LOME GUNS REPORTED LO-'JT BY THE FRENCH ARMY Invaders Have Penetrated French Center At One Point To Depth Of About Six Miles New York.—The Germans in the center of their new attack on the front between Montdidier and Noyon have gained additional ground against the French, but on both the right and left wings they are being held. In violent successive attacks they cap tured the villages of Mery, Belloy and St. Maure and also pressed forward and gained the footing in the village of Marqueglise, the last named place representing the deepest point of pen etration since the offensive began— between five and six miles. The battle is described by corre spondents as one of the most furious ; that has been fought since the war be- i gan, with the enemy usually reck- j less in wasting life to gain his objec- ! tives. The latest official communication from the German war office says ad ditional ground has been gained by the Germans southwest of Noyon against newly brought up French reinforce ments and that the Germans have tak en about eight thousand prisoners and some guns.

McCANTS BUTLER, GEORGIA $500,006 WORTH OF EGGS SPOIL YEARLY Swatting the Rooster May Pre vent This Loss In Georgia alone, each year, J500.- 000 worth of eggs spoil because of neglect or carelessness. This loss represents 10C7 of all eggs produced or 3 egg out of every 10 layed. The quickest and most effective way to correct ibis great loss will be to kill the rooster. A fertile egg will dete riorate much quicker than an infer tile egg because in the former the embryo starts to develop ar. approxi mately 70 degrees. As it is impossi ble. to keep eggs below That temper ature in summer, the egg is bound to spoil. Therefore, as soon as the breed ing season is over, catch the rooster. The very best males may be sepa rated from the hens for the next year, hut those not exceptionally good should be fattened and eaten or sold. Keep the nest free from mites by spraying occasionally with kerosene oil. Provide clean nest well bedded with hay, straw or excelsior and the The Pneumonia Season. The cold, damp weather of March seems to be the most favorable for the pneumonia germ. Now is the time to be careful. Pneumonia often results from a cold. The quicker a cold is gotten rid of the less the danger. As soon as the first indica tion of a cold appears take Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy. As to the value of this preparation, ask any one who has used it. hens will not be tempted to lay out around barns, etc. Eggs should he collected twice a day and kept in a cool place during hot weather. Mar ket eggs at least rwice a week. All thin shelled, extra large or ab- normanv small eggs should be con sumed ai home. If eggs are soiled, clean them with vinegar, but dry egg immediately with dry cloth. An egg that ha* been washed will deteriorate | very soon. In snort, the quickest way to improve the market egg and prevent an enor mous loss to the farmer will be to j produce infertile eggs, collect and \ market often, and consume at home ; all but the best. The consumer can help in this work i by purchasing only eggs that are guaranteed to be fresh.—Prof. J. H. Wood. State College cf Agriculture. No Compromise With Prussianism Schenectady, Nt Y.—“Prussianism and the idea of enduring peace among nations can never be brought into har mony; compromise cannot even be considered,’’ Secretary Lansing declar ed here in an address as honorary chancellor of Union college for 1918.

PRESERVE EGGS NOW WITH WATER-GLASS They Will Be Ready ForlEating Next Winter 10°PALE PEOPLE— YOUR BLOOD MAY BE STARVING FOR Jt Your Blood Needs Iron, It Needs ZIRON, the New Compound of Iron, Which Acts as a Strength ening Tonic, Enriching the Blood and Building up the System. When your blood lacks the proper proportion oi red corpuscles to give your -complexion the “rosy hue of health” and your complexion is pale, “pasty-look ing” , perhaps even greenish-tinged, you are probably of an anemic or chlorotic nature, and your blood needs Ziron, to bring back the rich, red flush of health. Ziron. the new compound of iron, the hypophosphites of lime and soda, and other tonic, strengthening ingredients, has been found of great value in conditions of simple anemia, chlorosis, debility, nervousness, lack of ambition, loss cf appe tite, dyspepsia, etc. It is a valuable' reconstructive tonic, in cases of weakness, and helps build up the constitution after severe illness. Mrs. Mae Belle Perkins, of Adairsville, Ga., writes: “About two months ago 1 got to feeling badly. My back hurt me badly, and my legs and arms hurt too, and I didn’t have any appetite at all to eat. About two weeks ago ! commenced taking Ziron, according to directions on the bottle ... By the time 1 had taken the medicine for a week, I could see it was doing me good. I had been weak and nervous, and it made me feel stronger, and I’m not a bit nervous now. My back is all right, and my arms and legs do not ache. And my appetite is good again. Before 1 started using Ziron I wouldn’t rest at night, I was so tired reeling and ■felt worn out. I have used nearly the whole bottle and now 1 sleep fine every night. It sure is a fine medicine, and I am glad I tried it.” Ziron is non-alcoholic, contains no habit-forming drugs, acts gently, has no bad after-effects, is good for men, women and children. It is a medicine of genuine merit, composed of ingredients prescribed by eminent physicians. Try it.

An ample supply of eggs for use next winter may be put under water- glass now and kept in excellent con dition until then. Water-glass may be brought at. your drug store and a quart, costing twenty to thirty cents, will pre serve fifteen dozen eggs. A five gallon container will hold the number of eggs very conveniently. In preserving eggs the essential point is to have fresh, clean, infertile eggs. However, fertile eggs may be used if kept cool prior to being pre served. Eggs should be collected from nest twice a day as hear from hens starts developments in the egg. If eggs are slightly soiled, they may be cleaned with vinegar. The container should be cleaned thoroughly. Mix one part of water glass with nine parts of water, which has been heated to boiling and cooled. This amount will cover fifteen dozen eggs. The mixture is poured into con tainer, and the eggs are then added un til two inches from top of solution. If a large number are to be preserved j at once, it is a little easier to place j eggs in container and then add the j mixed solution. A cover should then j be placed on to prevent evaporation. j Keep preserved eggs in cool place, j Eggs are easier to preserve than | fruit or vegetables so one can blame j himself only if he is without eggs next winter. Every home should'put down | several dozen, depending on the size j of the family. Even the producer can realize a fine profit by this method. Water-glass eggs sold last winter as high as Sixty cents a dozen and were preserved when eggs were twenty-five cents a dozen at a cost of three cents a dozen. Eggs have been kept four teen months in water-glass and then considered better than storage eggs. Very few people realize the import ance and value of preserving eggs in the home for winter use. From pres ent indications the output of eggs this coming winter will be considerably decreased while the consumption, ow ing to the scarcity of other foods, is and will be greatly increased. This will cause the few available eggs to cost more than last winter. A person preserving eggs at this time is rendering bis country a serv ice by helping next winter’s food sup ply and at the same time making a a profit or a saving of at least twenty- five cents a dozen.

A Child’s Savings May Shorten The War The war is costing the combined aiiies more than $30,000,000 an hour. The daily fate of this huge sum is simple waste. A shortening of the war by days or even hours would mean the redemption of colossal waste. We must bend every financial ef fort towards shortening the war. Every small amount invested by a child in Thrift Stamps tends to wards this end. The influence of every Thrift Stamp purchased is a little momentum toward earlier vic tory. Thus a child’s savings may be in strumental in definitely shortening this war and in saving many times its own value in money, to say noth ing of conserving human life. Encourage your child to invest in 4% interest-bearing Thrift Stamps instead of merely hoarding his pen nies in a tin bank. Thrift Stamps cost 25 cents each and may be bought at the postoffice, from your mail carrier and at most stores. Thit Advertisement Fetid for and Donated by *******************4-** I. F.
