QUESTION CLEARED UP.
Lancaster Readers Can No Longer Doubt
The Evidence.

Again and again we have read of
strangers in distant towns who have
been cured by this or that medicine.
But Lancaster's pertinent question has
always been HAS anyone here in Lam
caster been cured? The word of a
stranger living a hundred miles away
may be true, but cannot have the
same weight with US as the word of
our own citizens, whom we know and
respect, and whose evidence we can so
easily prove.

PURE BREEDS VERSUS SCRUBS
Mongrel 10 Excellent Hustler, but VIII
Not and Cannot Mako Money
for Its Owner.

The pure-bred animal is not one
that will make good on poor feed and
care. The scrub will beat the pure
bred every time when 1t comes to
"rustling" its own way. But the scrub
will not and cannot make money for
its owner. And right here is where
the pure bred excels itself.
He has the capacity which the
scrub has not. Give the purebred ami
NAL good feed and care, and he will
make money. and do It quickly. At
least three crops Of purebred beef
animals can be turned out ready for
market to every two crops Of scrubs
or grades.
Grades make money for their own
ers sometimes, but the amount and
the quickness with which results are
obtained are in direct proportion to
the infusion Of pure blood. which
makes the grades and better than
scrubs.

Fill up those vacant spaces in the

1t is never too late to start in the
fruit business, enough at least for the
home supply.

Wood ashes are valuable to spread
around fruit trees for small fruits and
vegetables; they should not be
wasted
The root louise often causes apple

trunk will stop the ravages of the
root louise.
Expert orchardists recommend seed

While apples do not rank high as

pigs rather than to let them rot un-

The peach makes a good stock for
some variety Of plum. 1t has larger

The climate and conditions that are

Facts OF Interest About Hookwom Disease

In a recent issue of the Winchester
Democrat, DIR. l. A. Shirley of the
State Board of Health, who attend
ed the Conference of Sanitary Work
ers in the Southern States at Little
Rock, Arkansas, recently, gives the
following facts which are of interest
to the people all over Kentucky.
LIST. 1t is the firm belief of every
one engaged in the work of improving
sanitary conditions in the South so as
to make it possible to prevent disease
and make life longer and healthier,
from the Administrative Sanitary
Secretary in Washington to the field
men on the firing line, that no greater
work has ever been undertaken since
that of the meek and lowly Galilean.
End. That eradication of the hook
worm disease and not amelioration is
not only possible but that nothing
short of this will suffice the work or
the workers.
Bird. The same story came from all
parts of the Southland of well nigh
miraculous cures.
4th. The belief. born of expert
ence, that no other disease holds its
unfortunate victim so long as hook
worm disease; that no other disease
makes the one afflicted with it fol-
such length of time a menace tt
those around him; that no other dis
ease of equal magnitude is so surely
and speedily durable.
5th. That no other diseace shows
such variety of symptoms and some
times no symptoms at all, as hook
worm disease.
9Th. That while as a rule it Is to b,
found where the sanitary conditions ar,
the worst; that is, where the privie
are not water tight and fly proof, yet
it is found under better surrounding:
sufficiently often to make it tn,
imperative duty of every, one VIII
leaves ideal environments for even
short time to seek examination lest tn
monster disease, like a thief in tn
night steals march upon him, to b
diagnosed when it may be everlastingl
too late.
7th. Hookworm carriers, person
harboring very few worms an
positively without symptoms, except
occasionally, indigestion, are among tn
most dangerous members of tn,
community as propagators; hence tn
duty that everybody owes to them
selves and the community to be ali
solutely certain that they are free fror
these worms.
9Th. That from the examination O
more than 10000 people from II
counties our own beloved State is foun
to be one of the most heavily infected
and We earnestly hope for such a coor
Grafton of our fighting facilities. county
municipal and individual, that ere lon
it can be truthfully said that Kentucky
the flower of the constellation of South
ern states, is for one, at least, fire
, from this blighting curse.
9th. That every citizen who has nc
already done so, should secure a cop
of the Bulletin of the State Board G
Health from its Office in Bowling Greer
telling about this disease and shoul
submit the necessary specimen so the
can know whether the have it or not.

ESSENTIAL FOR DRAFT HORSE
important That Animal Should Walk
Four Miles an Hour With Load
and Without firing.

A draft horse does most of his hard
work at the walking gait. 1t is there
fore important that he should be able
to walk fast without firing. He should
be able to walk four miles an hour
with load. If his feet are deformed
in any way, whether It be by disease
or hereditary, he cannot do his best
work.
The soles Of the feet should turn
up and show the shoes plainly as the
horse moves away from the observer.

the skin of the parts above. The
color Of the skin decides the color of

the frog large, elastic, healthy and

Doctors Use This for Eczema

DIR. Evans. Ex-Commissioner of Health,
says: There is almost no relation be-
tween skin diseases and the blood" The
skin must be cured through the skin.
The germs must be washed out, and SO
salves have long ago been found worth
less. The most advanced physicians of
this country are now agreed on this, and
are prescribing a wash of wintergreen
thymol and other ingredients for eczema
and all other skin diseases. This COM
pound is know as Odd. Prescription
