.N|HEN ASHCRAFT'S Condi-
- ton Powders are fed to horses
and mules, marked improvement
will be seen after the first few
doses. There is no doubt about it.
The Powders, acting directly OH the
digestive organs, first thoroughly
cleanses the stomach and bowels,
correcting all disorders, and then
good healthy appetite comes nat
urally and surely. It is the most
powerful tonic and appetizer on
the market to-day, and when once
used horsemen will have no other.
Ashcraft's Powders produce that
silky sheen of coat and hair so
admired by horse fanciers. The
Powders fatten but never bloat.
Always high grade and put up
in doses-never in bulk.
By the use of three or four doses
a week your horse or mule will
not be subject to collie or any dis
ease Of the stomach and bowels.

condition generally. He was thin and had a

MUST GO.

A big manufacturing concern in Chicago
giving employment to thousands, has is
sued an order to the effect that those en-
ployes who smoke cigarettes or gamble
will lose their positions. 1t will require
even stronger opposition than that to
break men from the gambling habit. The
cigarette habit is almost as Dad.
Railroads in some sections have cut off
the Whlskey and the cigarette habit, but
the Chicago concern goes a step further
and refuses to employ men who are gam
blers. They are exactly right about it.
In tact, IN any concern calling for honesty.
it IS better to lave men who drink occa-
sionally than men who gamble. The
temptation to a gambler 10 take his ON
rioyer's money with which to speculate
IS too strong for many to resist. Besides.
the man who CANDLES is sure to desnisn
the slow methods Of legitimate business
and IS certain to work only for the mon.
ey. His mind IS on the particular sort
OF gambling to which he is addicted in
stead of on the business he is EMPLOYED
to do. lie cannot be relied upon to do
the best work. Therefore his emnlover
does well to get men who look onlv for
the ordinary return Of labor, skill and
brains.
