APRIL IS A MONTH MANY
IMPORTANT ANNIVERSARIES
Most of Country’s Wars Were Begun
During This Month
No month in the calendar has
more interesting anniversaries than
April. It was on April 10th that the
first blood of the Revolution—as
also in the Civil War, may be said
to have been shed. Also three Am
erican presidents were born in April
—Jefferson, Monroe and Grant.
Particularly has April been associat
ed with America’s wars. The follow
ing table of historic dates forms
only part of the story which makes
April a month of memorable anni
versaries:
1743—April 13—Birth of Thomas
Jefferson.
1759—April 28—Birth of James
Monroe.
1775 April 18-19—Paul Revere’s
Ride.
1776 April 19—Skirmishes at
Concord and Lexington.
1783—Aprill9—-Cessation of hos
tilities proclaimed by Washington
to the army.
1783 —April 19—Independence of
United States recognized by Holland.
The cost per acre for seed
is the lowest ever known.

“Pea & Bean Man” (RNE)
Lost 20 Lbs. of Fat
In Just 4 Weeks
Mrs. Mae West of St Louis, Mo.,
writes: “I’m only 28 yrs. old and
weighed 170 lbs. until taking one box
of your Kruschen Salts just 4 weeks
ago. I now weigh 150 lbs. I also have
more energy and furthermore I’ve
never had a hungry moment.”
Fat folks should take one half
teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a
glass of hot water in the morning
before breakfast it’s the SAFE,
harmless way to reduce as tens of
thousands of men and women know.
For your health’s sake ask for and
get Kruschen at Carmichael Drug
Company or any drug store —the
cost for a bottle that lasts 4 weeks
is but a trifle and if after the first
bottle you are not joyfully satisfied
with results —money back.—Adv.
