R. Ogden, of Shinnston, W. Va., says: “I have used
AVALON FARMS HOG-TONE 56 days and I think it is the
best medicine I ever used. I have two pigs 4 months and 3 days
old that weigh 360 pounds, one 6 pounds heavier than the other.
They are 100 pounds heavier than my neighbor's 2 of the
same litter and feed."
This is the experience of a
typical user of H o g - T o n e.
There are hundreds and hun
dreds of letters on file at the
Avalon Farms Company's
office from nearly every state
in the Union, all telling of big
improvement in hogs and
in hog profits through the
use of Hog-Tone, the scientifi
cally prepared Hog Condition
er, Fattener and Worm Re
mover. Hog-Tone is sold on

You don't have to pay for it

A Fib.
The pupils in an Alabama school
were asked to construct a sentence
containing the word “amphibious.” As
quick as a flash a boy gave out the
following: “Most fish stories am fibl-
ous.”
Despondency Due to Constipation.
Women often become nervous and
despondent. When this is due to
constipation it is easily corrected by
.taking an occasional dose of Cham
berlain’s Tablets. These tablets are
easy to ttake and pleasant in effect.
A Succesaful Performance.
The assistant concertmaster of the
Chicago Symphony orchestra asked
his four-year-old son how he enjoyed
an orchestral performance which he
had conducted. The little fellow an
swered: “I watched you balancing
yourself for two hours, daddy, and yon
didn't falLatff qx.”
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. Ab to the
value of this preparation, ask any
one who has used it.
Tablecloth Tempted Deer.
A tablecloth ornamented with a de
sign of green leaves until recently
graced the board of a farmhouse In
Dark Moon road, back of Allamuchy,
N. J., and was the particular pride of
the farmer’s wife, Mrs. William Crawn.
One morning lately Mrs. Crawn hung It
on a clothesline, and in half an hour
was surprised and pained, according to
the New York Herald, to see three deer
eating it greedily.

mally fixing next June 5 as the date
for new eligibles to appear before
their local boards.
Male persons, whether citizens or
not, are required to register. Exemp
tions under the original act, including
men already in the military service, j
apply, and to these the new law adds 1
ministerial students now pursuing
their studies.
The president's proclamation quotes
the law and gives notice to all persons
subject to it in the states and the Dis
trict of Columbia to appear for regis
tration on June 5 between the horn’s
of 7 a. m. and 9 p. m. State governors
and members of local boards are call
ed upon to perform the duties already
assigned to them.
It has been estimated that about
eight hundred thousand men fit for
active military service will be made
available to the army by the next reg
istration. Hereafter it is planned to
have registrations oftener than one a
year, probably quarterly.
Alaska. Hawaii and Porto Rico are
not named in the proclamation. A
registration day for them will be set

Czechs and Jugoslavs paraded through
the streets shouting "Long Live Wil
son, Clemenceau and Lloyd George!”
At a performance in the Bohemian
national theater speeches violently at
tacking Germany were delivered and
the renewal of the alliance between
Germanly and .’Austria-Hungary was
denounced. Several deputies address
ed the crowd, urging resistance to the
end and the sacrifice of wealth and
blood for Bohemia.
The theater was closed and rioting
occurred in the streets outside. The
Jugoslavs who have participated in the
Bohemian festivities were ordered to
leave the city. Crowds singing patri
otic songs accompanied them to ihe
railway station.

Goldbeating an Ancient Art.
Goldl’cating ns an industry is as an
cient and honorable as it is fascinating
and wonderful. It is practiced in al
most exactly the same way today as
it was by goldworkers of ancient
Greece and still mere ancient Egypt.
Incredible as it may spem, there are
well-authenticated instances of gold
having been beaten down to more than
the three hundred thousandth part of
an inch in thickness or thinness.

YOUR daughter will never come to
this if you have no money in the
bank. If you were to investigate the
■families who have accomplished daughters, you would
find that in practically every instance a bank aceount is
started for their education when they were children.
You envy such people, so will your children when they
grow up unless they have the same advantages. So think
how much a bank account will mean to them and start
one today.
