Woman Cures Horse Collie

The men were away as usual. The
horse was bad. A lone woman could
not 'drench" in the old way. She
called up a neighbor and her men
were away-but: 1--WE have Farris
Collie Remedy that you drop on the
horses tongue" says Mrs. Neigh
Dor. So she came over and dropped
Farris Collie Remedy on the horses
tongue and the horse was we'll when
the men came home. Moral: Get
Farris Collie Remedy so the women
can cure horse collie. We sell it at
so cents a bottle on the Money

GEO. w. HANNA is BELIEVER
IN LIBERAL ADVERTISING

George w. Hanna believes in ad-
vertising. Last week he used a half
page in the Reflector advertising
his fine 320-acre farm for sale, one
of the finest farms of the county,
located northwest of Abilene. That
is the way to reach buyers and Mr..
Hanna has demonstrated that he
gets results in publicity through the
papers. Mr.. Hanna is Clay Center
banker and was mayor for several
years.

LENIENCY IS SHOWN
10 The 70 CNERS

y (Correspondencesof of Associated Press.)
JENNA, Austria, Nov. 23.lThe
5Viennese ARE proud Of the fact that
they have realt leniently with the
English, French and Russians In the
capital. Only suspicious characters
have been interned, and among the
enemy Aliens at large in the city
there is far more freedom than IN
Berlin and most of the other German
cities. The visitor from Berlin, for in.
stance, is surprised to find that any
language may be spoken freely over
the teleph hone. Nothing but German rs
permitted in Berlin and even a mis-
pronunciation o 70 German word may
be followed by. a polite but firm re-
quest from the telephone operator to
Speak German, please The second
:odense means a severed connection.
Aside from the freedom OF the tele-
phone. the viennese mix without much
friction in the cafes with the young
Englishmen, Frehchmen or Russians.
The Cafe de Paris has been renamed
the Nachtfalter, but the Carlton bar
retains its name, and the English,
French and Russian Language Is heard
there without exciting any protests
from, the Viennese VIII omay be pres
.ent. In fact, when the pianist plays
some popular English song, such as
You Made Me Love You,p the Wen
nese may be heard ihumming It or even
singing the English words softly. The
closing hour OF the public drinking
and eating places is now fixed at 1
O'clock in the morning. but most Of
the places of the better class are per-
mitted to do business until Q O'clock.
In the. bearing of the Viennese there
is comparatively little indicative OF
war. Not SO much mourning is worn
as In some othericities. 81
You must not think that we are
taking our war lightly" said one Of
the residents. we have had orr full
share Of sacrifices and suffering, But
II is bad enough as It is, without going
about with glum faces and sorrowing
all the time. There is little enough
pleasure left In life. The viennese
are naturally a pleasure lowing people.
IT is fortunate that they have not the
capacity OF sorrowing continuously. IT
Is this very characteristic that Is keep
Ing them up through these trying
days"
Aside from the matters mentioned.
however, there is no lack Of indication.
that war is going on. Chief among
these is the great number Of wounded
soldiers in the streets. In no other
