IN POULTRY RAISING
Farm Should Have a Sani-

Mean Increased Profits.

One of the most successful poultry
raisers remarked the other day: There
Is hardly n week passes that some part
of our plant does not receive n good
desc of dlslnfectant. Houses. coops. In
cubators. and brooders. all get their
share" This man realizes that an
ounce of prevention Is worth a pound
OF cure, and that the best way OF get
ting rid of mites. lice. and disease germs
that chickens are heir to is to fight the
pests consistently.
The idea that the presence OF lice and
other parasites on poultry In a natural
condition. efficiently taken care Of by
nature. Is fallacy. True. they are
found on very young chicks. because
the mother hen unavoidably distributes
them to her brood Every nest II a
refuge for them. likewise perches, drop
ping boards, brooder houses. and yard
ing coops. II the poultryman Ia not
careful: baby chicks start life handi-
capped by these blood-suching pests.
There is no better way to successfully
combat germs ana parasites than
through the use of n good. strong dis
infectant. One that will not only Kill
lice, mites. and germs, destroy and neu-
tralize foul odors, but at the same time,
one that will neither stain nor inJure
the birds In any way. Many breeders
nave been using crude and refined car
bolic acid for this purpose. This is not
only dangerous but expensive. There

BETTER THAN cAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. } Edwards Olive Tablets are
 a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards, Olive Tablets--the sub- stitute for .calcmel--are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous, They are the re- suit of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought put these little olive-colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that Icalomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or caiomel. They take hold of the trouble and quiciely correct 1t. Why cure the liver 1t the expense of the teeth? Colonel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It IS best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Most headaches, "duflness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy and 'sheavy.n Note how they eclear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spir- It's. l0c and 25c box. All druggists.

 Ready for State Convention.
 The following was given out here Thursday by suffrage workers:
 All the df11at6Q leagues or the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Associa- ton have, now elected their delegates to the convention which will open at the Hotel Taft next Thursday. Lists of the delegates are being received at headquarters and it is plain that the convention will be very much larger than any previous suffrage convention ever held in the state. This is due partly to the greatly increased num- Der of affiliated leagues and partly to the quicSening of interest in woman suffrage due to the prominence of the question in the recent election and to the certainty of all political parties that the question is now an active is sue in both state and national politics. There are over eighty leagues now affiliated with the c. W. $. A. besides | these fully organized leagues ahere are | suffrage committees in a large num- Der of the towns. These will not be | entitled to send delegates with voting | powers, but a representative from each 1 of these committees will be allowed on the floor and given the privilege ot l speaking. The larger leagues are en- | titled to from thirty to forty delegates 1 and the smaller ones to anything from | six delegates upwards. If all the 1 leagues sent full delegations the con vention would include six or sever 1 hundred women. The smaller ant | more distant leagues will not be able l to send their full quota. but every 1 league expects to send at least one ol 1 two of it's members to the annual state 1 convention.
 Thursday evening there will be {
