County Highway Commission, to
issue county bonds to provide

“How was that?”
“Why people came in and
bought dern near all the stuff I
had.”

FLOORS IMPORTANT TO HENS
Poultry houses may be built
with or without floors so long as
they are dry. Damp floors make
damp litter, and dampness is
fatal to both fowls and chicks.
If the house is on dry sandy soil,
a dirt floor is usually quite satis
factory, but as a rule it is more
damp than board or cement
floors. Dirt floors need to be
scraped down to the clean soil
and fresh gravel or sand put in
once a year to keep them sani
tary.
If board floors are used see
that they are both tight and
smooth so as to make them dry
and easy to clean. Place them
8 or 10 inches from the ground
if possible, to allow a circulation
of air and in order that the space
may not be a refuge for rats.
Cement floors, especially for
large houses, are quite satisfact
ory, as they keep out rats, last
much longer than board floors
and are easy to clean.
The floor of every poultry house
whether of dirt, boards, or ce
ment, should be kept covered
with a litter from 8 to 6 inches
deep at all times. Oat, wheat,
or rye straw makes the best lit
ter, but if it can not be obtained,
sawdust, chaff, dry leaves, or
pine needles may be used. As
soon as the litter becomes damp
or badly soiled, take it out and
replace with dry litter.—U. S.

True Worth
Truth worth is in being, not
seeming—
In doing each day that goes by
Some little good—not in dream
ing
Of great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in their
blindness.
And spite of the fancies of Youth,
There’s nothing so kindly as
kindness.
And nothing so royal as truth.
—Anon.

There are entire sections where every
one seems to tliink tliey have malaria.
Others believe they never fully got the
malarial poison out of their systems.
Arnold VVhiteson says: “Por years 1
took calomel for the achps, biliousness,
headache, constipation and the deathly
feeling associated with what we believed
to be malaria. »
Last year I heard about Dodson’s Liver
Tone and bought a bottle for a few cents.
Man, man, what a Godsend. In the morn
ing it drove out quarts of black, sour
bile. I got hack my appetite for food,
braced right u]> and haven’t had a sick
spell since. Whenever I feel a little bil
ious or the stomach gets sour, one dose
of Dodson’s Liver Tone is all I need. It
is surely a blessing.”
Hundreds of others tell the same ex
perience.
Take a spoonful of Dodson’s Liver
Tone tonight and you will wake up feel
ing great. No more biliousness, consti
pation, sluggishness, headache, coated
tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist
says if you don’t find Dodson’s Liver
Tone acts better than horrible calomel
your money is waiting for you.
The National Trade-Mark
Old silversmiths, in order to help people tell pure silver
from cheaper imitations, marked the real thing "sterling."
In a like manner, manufacturers, who stand back of their
wares, identify them with trade-marks that are your
guarantee of quality. By advertising these trade-marks,
they focus on their products the searchlight of attention.
Only good goods, fairly priced, can flourish in this light
of publicity. For no merchandise and no business can
thrive under the weight of public condemnation.
That is why a manufacturer, or a merchant, places the
whole reputation of his business at stake every time he
advertises. His goods must be as advertised.
So, in looking through this paper remember this: the man
who spends his money to invite your consideration of
his wares, backs up his belief in his goods and leaves
the final decision to you.
It pa3’s you to read advertisements,
advertised products.
It pays you to buy
Advertising is your protection
