while our other toes. not being so
much used in walking, are tending to
become smaller"
According to Professor Kromeger
it will take only 5000 years TO bring

Finally, the late DR.. Forbes Wins

WAR RAISES
HORSES

Many Michigan people have found
that the European war has raised the
value of livestock - particularly
horses. Therefore, it is now more nee
ssary than ever to keep domestic ami
mails in Al shape. To do this, bully
liniment to use is the same kind that
George Wells of Syracuse, N. Y, used.
He says: "And the only medicine
used on the foot after the horse had
been given up to die by the veterinary
surgeon, was Hanford's Balsam of
Myrrh. This horse, which the doctor
said should be killed after it had run
a nail in it's foot, lived to do many
more hours of labor"
