pleasant action of Adler-i ka sur
prises both doctors and patients.

Candldes vs. Electricity.
The Society of Electricity De
velopment, anxious to encoruge a
wider use of electricity for light
ing has prepared figures showing
it is much cheaper than candles
or kerosene.
A recent test of six candles
showed that for 1 cent only 268
candle-power hours were obi hi
ed. If electricity for lii'hti s cords
9 cents for a kilowatt ab 20
watt lamp can be light* d for 50
hours for 9 cents. The efficiency
of a 20 watt incandescent ;s ■ can
dle power for 1 17 watts. Thus a
20-watt lamp will pro vile about
17 candle power It will burn 50
hours for 9 cents, or 850 c ndie
power hours will cos l 9 cents.
One cent will buy 94.4 candle
hours, or 35 times as much light
as can be obtained from a candle
for 1 cent.
Had the Grip Three Weeks.
With January comes lagrippe.
Lingering colds seem to settle in
the system, causing one to ache
all over, feel feeverish and chilly,
tired, heavy and drooping. Mrs.
Tyles, Henderson, Ky, writes: “My
daughter had lagrippe for three
weeks. I had the doctor and
bought medicine and none of it
did any good. I gave her Foley’s
Honey and Tar and now she is all
right. I have told all my friends
about it.” Insist on the genuine
Foley’s Honey and Tar. The Mc-

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cureu
by local applications, as th*y cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There
is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the
inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to Its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inflamed condition of the raucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Cure acts thru the
blood on the mucous surfaces of the sys
tem.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Circulars

Testimony of Army Doc
tor.
The use of alcohol results in
much inefficiency. It is well un
derstood by all who control large
bodies of men that alcohol and ef
fective work are incompatible.
Abundant liquor means a full
guardaouse and many courtmar
tial cases. In the matter of target
shooting, careful experiments con
ducted in Sweden showed an av
erage of 40 per cent fewer hits by
marksmen after one drink of
brandy. Since alcohol marked
interferes with the mental pro
cesses, it is plain that decisions in
military crises are apt to be faulty.
Alcoholism and venereal diseases
are closely allied. —Frank R. Kee

Neutral Idea.
Senator Simmons said in Wash
ington, apropos of a piece of friud
ly neutrality on the part of Hoi
land:
“Neutral ‘countries Sweden,
Holland and the rest —are contin
ually doing us these kindnesses —
and the war is prolonged.
“We feel towards these poor
neutrals like the lady who said :
“I’m a Christian through and
through, and I’m always grateful
for any kindness, but the, one
kindness 1 can never succeed in
being grateful for is that of the
man who brings my husband
home at 3 a. in. with bis feet stick
ing out the cab window.’’
Prevent Hog Cholera.
The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder
has a record of cures of Hog
Cholera. If you feed your hogs as
directed you need never fear hog
cholera nor any other hog disease.
And the directions are very sim
ple, just about what you are doing
plus a few cents worth of B. A.
Thomas’ Hog Powder in the feed
twice a week.
Usually, though, cholera gets in
before we know it. Then it re
quires close attention to each hog
—each hog must be dosed —and if
you will dose them as directed,
you will save better than 90 per
cent. If you don’t, the B. A. Thom
as medicine costs you nothing.
We —not some distant manufac
turer —pay your money back. The

TAKE YOUR HOME PAPER
iO| fj THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
Realizing that this year, the next and the next maybe, the
American farmer will be called upon to feed the major por
tion of the peoples of The Earth, we have arranged for our
leaders to also receive The Progressive Farmer. We rec
ognize it as the South’s leading exponent of the now vital
doctrines of crop diversification and farm products con
servation.
So important have these problems appeared to our Pres
ident that he has issued an appeal to the South to not only
feed itself but have something more for our sorely needing
friends across the Seas.
As your patriotic duty equip yourself by using the advice
and guidance of this standard farm weekly which sells for
one dollar a year and ma** be had with our paper for the
amount named below.
