SOME HIS on POULTRY.

Clean, varied, easily digested food
is itself medicine.
Ailments can be classed as colds,
Indigestion, vices and accidents.
Birds can not tell their feelings,
hence we must judge and prescribe
from symptoms alone.
When fowl sneezes, waters slight.
ly at eyes and nostrifs, and dumps,
1t has common cold, not regarded
as germ disease.
II digestive organs are clogged, ir-
ritated and congested, then the cir.
culation of blood is impeded, and the
system generally unbalanced.
When face and head swell good
deal, and thed ischarge from nostrils
is profuse, fowls have Group or infiu-
enza. Irregularity of habit is apt to
accompany colds of all all kinds
The throat is SO tender in colds
that bread and milk, warm mashes
and table scraps are about all which
fowls can swallow. A little ginger or
pepper in the mashes is helpful.

Canker in the mouth may extend
to throat and become diphtheria. The
diphtheria of fowls and man are diff.
erent according to the veterinarians,
but attendants on sick birds have
been known to take poultry diphtheria.
An ordinary cold, if taken at once,
can be arrested by one-grain pill
OF quinine forced down each sick
bird. Give some bread crumbs in con-
nection, to cause quick digestion.

Leather BagS-PriCeS

Not often do Bags like these get dose of
reductions. They don't need the medicine; they
sell too readily at the regular rates. But even
healthy folks go see the doctor now and then
he helps them KEEP healthy. Catch the
point? See the reason for this otherwise un-
reasonable action? To KEEP the bag business
healthy and robust-to prevent a June lull,

Get Walking Papers

Dull in summer? What! Dull at Marx s!
1t is preposterous to even think of such thing.
We belong to the new school of merchandising,
the kind that MAKES business when there is
none.
The June Clearance is a business maker.
Those who have attended can testify to that.
The crowds were larger than during any
week since January 1st. And the sales broke
records in Barney Odheld style. Yet June is
supposed to be.a dull month. 1t is among the
Croakers and Do-nothings not among the
Husters and the Get-up-a and. Hurries.
By the way, where do you trade-in the
Behind the Times Stores that take annual Sizes
tas IN June?--or with the Workers and
''Doers" that INCREASE the purchase power
of your dollars double and treble?
Yes, where?
The Clearance swings along-the impetus
gained last week shoves into the next full
rugged and ready-it is reaching for your trade.
1t will get it if best values count for anything.
Manufacturers are sending their surplus stocks
which we are selling at minus-proht prices
And our own merchandise is offered at phenom-
email reductions. 1t is newsy news, indeed

Tailored STOCKS, Too

Tailored and Lingerie stock, collars and

Marxward. The result is easy to guess, you
have jumped at the conclusion already. But,
not one is badly soiled-the most grievous and
serious fault is no more than mere finger
mark. Victims of their own beauty. The
smudges speak eloquently of styles so pretty

the following replies were received:
When the population ceases TO

When you have convinced every

THE LEADER
CIRCULATION
IL il Making a Wonderful Record In
Every Part of the City.

The manner i'm which our circula-
ton is increasing in the city OF Blue
field goes to show that the people
want another newspaper here. The
Leader has labored under many diff
ficulties from the beginning but still
IL has continually grown in public ia
vor. The Leader has gained 65 new
subscribers on the North side since
last Monday and this compares fa-
vorably with the record IL is making
all over the city. We now have a
paid up subscription that has passed
the 500 mark. We are printing
twelve hundred papers daily and that
means much for SO short time. Our
business men should advertise where
they can talk to the better class of
the reading people and the most of
them. BY the end OF the week we
expect To easily reach 700 circula-
tion right in the city of Blue6eld
Advertisers should bear in mind that
we shall not cease this onward
march to- a greater circulation among
the people
TO the ladies OF Bluefield we want
To say that we shall make the Leader
more interesting to them as we grow
older We want to make The Leader
local newspaper that will reach all
classes, and we shall make more
progress in adding new features OF
interest right away. We shall con
tinue to strive to Improve the news
paper business of Bluefeld and make
You better newspaper. We are only
in our infancy nov but with your
encouragement and support we shall
soon give you newspaper that will
reflect credit upon your city and add
10 its prosperity.
