Are Your Hens Laying As They Should?
If not it is because they are not in a healthy condition and need a tonic.
Conkey’s is the best—not a food but a poultry medicine. • We have it, also
have Conkey’s Roup Remedy and Insect Exterminator.
For sore head, roup, swelling about the neck, blindness, etc., the Roup Rem
edy is a sure cure. For the destruction of mites, flees, chicken lice, and all other
insects nothing equals Conkey’s Liquid Germ Destroyer.
We can supply Sprays for using all kinds of disinfectants for 50 cents each.
Be sure to look at our stock of KODAKS and Kodak Supplies while you are in
town. We will be glad to show you what we have, and give you literature and
instructions about making pictures. If you already have a Kodak, we will be glad
to develop pictures for you. We are prepared to do as good work and as cheap as
you can get it done anywhere and save you the postage and delay necessary in
sending them off.

MEASLES A SERIOUS
ILL FOR CHILDREN
Ceatb Rate Is High—Georgia Board
of Health Warns Parents Not to
Underestimate Us Danger.
Atlaata. Ha.—Measles, a disease
looked upon by many as one of the
comparatively harmhss ailments in
cid nt to childhood, causes annually
nearly three times as many deaths as
smallpox... says the Georgia State
Board of Health. These figures will
cause many people to take an entirely
new view o£ this highly epidem.c dis
ease with which pract.cally all com
munities at oae time or another have
had experience.
Few mothers realize that for child
ren under five years of age the per
centage og deaths trom measles is*
sometimes nearly ten out of every
hundred. The disease, however, is one
which powerfully illustiates the truth
of the old proverb that "an ounce of
prevention, is worth a pound of cure, *
for if the child escapes measles until
after it is five yeais of age, the chauc
es ot death are rapidly decreased, so
that among children from five to ten
years of age the death rate is only
one out of eve; y hundred, and from
ten years on up is even less than one
per cent.
Measles commonly occurs in epidem
ics. attacking children for the most
part, and its prevalence at one time
or another in every section of the
country, has led the public to think of
it as a trival and slight disorder,
which must occur once in a life time,
and that the sooner a ch id has it
and gets over it, the better it is for
the child.
But persons who take this view for
get not only the danger of death
among younger children, hut the fact
that measles often leaves the patient
with some serious and permanent
troubles of the eyes, ears, heart or
kidneys.
