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- Donough Drug Co. 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 free. All Druggists. 75c. F. J. CHENEY (k CO.. Toledo. O. 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 fer, M. D., Lieutenant Colonel, Medical Corps, United States Ar my. 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 Henry County Supply Co.
