Feed Out Your Hogs Six
Weeks Earlier

In every lot of hogs on feed
two or three weeks quickly and
actually eat less than others. If
all would fatten like these, the
entire drove would be ready for
the market six weeks earlier and
to save six weeks feed is an item
that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily
must be in prime physical condi-
ton. The B. A. Thomas Hog
Powder is a conditioner for hogs.
1t keeps their system clean and
healthy and enables them to fat
ten quickly without falling
prey to the usual diseases of
hogs. The B. A. Thomas Hog
Powder is not stock food. It's
straight medicine, and we took
the agency because it enables
you to feed out your hogs much
earlier. st. Clair Drug Co.

Little George Edwards

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. R.
Lee Edwards was made sad be-
yond compare on the night of
Jan. 6, 1916, when the death
angel claimed as his victim the
soul of little George, aged ten
years, two months and fifteen
days.
George was the second son of
these fond parents who had pre-
dicted for him a bright future.
But who shall say when the call
shall come and what shall answer
to that call?
He was we'll and strong and
attended school on Thursday,
but was taken violently i'll that
night. and when morning dawned
his spirit had flown to the God
who gave it, and now is resting
in the arms of Jesus.
His remains were laid to rest
in the Union cemetery, where a
host of relatives and friends babe
him the last farewell. His pas
tor, Rev. M. A. Burns, conducted
the burial service.
We would say to the bereaved
father, mother, brothers and sis
tiers, weep not. for 1.-The Lord
giveth and the Lord taketh away;
blessed be the name of the Lord. "
We would not have him back to
suffer again, but may we each
strive to meet him where part
ings, sorrow and death are un.
known. A FRIEND.

Chicago Architect
Witness in Public
Building Scandal

Correspondence of Tho Associated Press1
sydney, Australia, Aug. 30.--Walter
3. Griffin. the Chicago architect, who
IS director of construction and de-
sign for the new Australian capitol
at Canberra, is one of the principal
witnesses in the inquiry which the
government is making into the
charges that the department OF home
affairs has been guilty OF a waste OF
public funds and ineptitude in the
building OF the capitol.
w. 0. Archibald, the former min.
ister OF home affairs. who investi-
gated the charges directed against
King OMalley, the present minister.
and Mr.. Griffin, testified that when
Mr.. Griffin took charge at Canberra
he had claimed sole control of the
capitol public works and that the
American threatened a lawsuit lin
1910 il he was interfered with in
what he considered his prerogatiyes
under his contract with the Austria
han government. Mr.. Archibald test.
he'd that he gave the American 10
understand that the minister of home
affairs was boss" but that the archi-
tect would have a square deal" He
denied that he had ever referred to
Mr.. Griffin as Yankee bounder."
but declared he had caused friction by
rubbing departmental officers the
wrong way"
When Mr. Griffin took the stand
he said that he was appointed to car
ny out his own design for the capital
and he felt If the plan was mutilated
Il would reflect on his reputation.
Mr.. Griffin said: Ten per cent of
my time has been devoted to the con-
structive effective work contemplated
in the agreement and 90 per cent has
been frittered away in defensive oper-
atoms" The only reason he could
give why the officers of the depart
ment showed hostility toward him
was that they believed they were COM
Detent themselves to carry out every
thing connected with the capitol.
Mr.. Griffin said that since his re-
cent disappointment as director OF de-
sign and construction by, Mr.. O'Mal.
ley his rights had been recognized and
Mr.. O'Malley had issued instructions
that no matters at the capitol should
be Initiated without reference to him.
