Gentlemen:
Mr. Will Wachter of this county
had some hogs that were down with
cholera and had given up all hope of
saving them and would not spend one
penny on them I gave him one 15 Tb
pail of your B. A. Thomas’ Hog Pow
der and he has just come in and paid
me for it and advises that every one
of his sick hogs got well and that he
had killed them and now has them in
his smoke house and that they were
as fine as any he had killed this year.
I want to add that he said his hogs
were down and so sick that he had to
prize their mouths open and his wife
poured the powder down their throats
Please find check in full of my ac
count and with kindest regards we
beg to- remain,
Yours very truly,

FEED MANUFACTURERS AND
DEALERS MUST SECURE
LICENSE BY FEBRUARY IS
an*
Manufacturers of and dealers in
commercial feeds for livestock, cattle
and hogs must secure licenses under
the Food Administration by February
15. This covers baled hay, shelled and
ear com and many othej commodities
intended for use as feeds or as ingre
dients in mixed feeds. The only ex
ceptions are for millers manufactur
ing bran and dealers in coarse grains,
who have already been placed under
Food Administration licenses.
Applications for license should be
addressed to the license division, Food
Administration, Washington, D. G.,
specifying the nature of the business
to be licensed.

SALE OF THRIFT STAMPS
BEING BOOSTED IN JACKSON
•
Several Hundred Dollar* Worth Have
Been Bought in the County
The sale of Thrift and War-Savings
Stamps has taken on new impetus
within the past few days, and indica
tions now point to a successful cam
paign in the Jackson territory.
Through the Jackson and Indian
Springs post offices several hundred
dollars worth of stamps have been
sold. Indian Springs'still leads in the
sale of the stamps.
The Jackson National Bank has
sold about seven hundred dollars
worth of the stamps, up to the first
of the week.
The Thrift and War-Savings stamps
are a splendid investment in every
way, and they are in reach of every
man, woman and child in the county.
Many people who did not feel like in
vesting SSO or SIOO in a Liberty Bond
can easily spare the price of the War-
Savings Stamps. In January the War-
Savings Stamps cost $4.12, and dur
ing February they can be bought for
$4.13. They bear 4 per cent interest
compounded quarterly and on Jan
uary 1, 1923 will be redeemed by the
government for $5.00.
If you haven’t bought a Thrift or
War-Savings Stamp now is a good
time to fall in line. •
DON’T SCOLD. MOTHER!

Don’t scold your fretful, peevish
child. See if tongue is coated; this is
a sure sign its little stomach, liver
and bowels are clogged with sour
waste. *
When, listless, pale, feverish, full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore,
doesn’t eat, sleep or act naturally,
has stomachache, indigestion, diar
rhoae, give a teaspoonful of “Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs,’’and in a few
hours all the sour waste, the sour
bile and fermenting food passes out
out of the bowels and you have a
well and playful child again. Chil
dren love this harmless “fruit laxa
tive,’’and mothers can rest easy af
ter giving it, because it never fails to
make their little “insides” clean and
sweet.
Keep it handy, Mother! A little
given today saves a sick child tomor
row, but get the genuine. Ask your
druggist for a bottle of “Cal
ifornia Syrup of Figs,” which has di
rections for babies, children of all
ages and grown-ups plainly on the
bottle. Remember there are counter
feits sold here, so surely look and see
that yours is made by the “Califor
nia Fig Syrup Company.” Hand back
with contempt any other fig syrup, ad

his hole for six weeks, and winter will
continue for that length of time. If
he fails to see his shadow, report says,
he will stay out all day and it is an in
dication that winter is about over.
After the seyere weather the coun
try has been having this is one time
everybody is glad the groundhog fail
ed to see his shadow, and warm, balmy
weather and spring flowers will now
be awaited with more than the usual
interest.
