Produce lnferthe Eggs.

Farmers are being urged by the

infertile eggs by removing ROSTERS

to supply their own household with
eggs. 1t is particularly useful fof

The chief reason for producing in
fertile eggs is the fact that an In

germ to develop much as it begins to
hatch out under the hen. In uneven

CAMDEN HORSEMAN
SERVES IN FRANCE

DR.. w. J. Ratigan, former Camden
(Ohio) veterinarian, is with the allied
armies in France. When the trouble
in Mexico broke out he was appointed
to a government position, and was sta
toned on the Texas border, eventually
reaching Vera Cruz. He was in the
latter place when the Mexicans got"
Colonel Taggert's orderly and stole his
horses. The latter were ultimately re.
turned, including Devils Bet, a horse
at one time owned by the late Herman
Lass of Camden. After being restored
to Colonel Taggert the mare was in
pretty bad shape, and was turned over
to DR.. Ratigan to bring her up to her
Id form.
When the war broke out in Europe
he was still in the south, but an offer
from an English commander buying
horses in this country induced him to
go to the other side, and he is now in
St. Nazaire, near Paris, where wound
ed horses are doctored and made ready
for another campaign.

WHAT DYSPEPTICS
SHOULD EAT
A PHYSICIANS ADVICE.

indigestion and practically all
forms of stomach trouble are, nine
times out Of ten, due to acid
ity; therefore stomach sufferers
should, whenever possible, avoid eat
ing food that is acid in its nature, or
which by chemical action in the stom-
ech develops acidity. Unfortunately,
such rule eliminates most foods
which are are pleasant to the taste as
we'll as those which are rich in blood,
flesh and nerve building properties.
This Is the reason why dyspeptics and
stomach sufferers are usually thin, EN-
aciated and lacking in that vital ener-
gy which can only come from a we'll
fed body. For the benefit of those
sufferers who have been obliged to ex-
clude from their diet all starchy.
sweet or fatty food, and are trying
to keep up a miserable existence on
gluten products, would suggest that
you should try a meal of any food or
foods which you may like, in moder-
ate amount, taking Immediately after
wards teaspoonful of bisurated mag
nesia in little hot or cold water.
This will neutralize any acid which
may be present, or which may be
formed, and instead of the usual feel
IL
find that your food agrees with you
perfectly. Bisurated magnesia is
doubtless the best food corrective and
antacid known. It has no direct &C.
ton on the stomach; but by neutral
izing the acidity of the food contents,
and thus removing the source of the
acid irritation which inflames the del
icate stomach lining, it does more than

medicine. As physician. l believe
in the use OF medicine, whenever nee
essary, but must admit that I can
not see the sense of dosing an inflam-
ed and irritated stomach with drugs
instead of getting rid of the acid

/ little bisurated magnesia from your
druggist, eat what you want at your
next meal, take some Of the bisurated
magnesia as directed above, and see If
