ELIMINATE FAMILY DOG
AND BUY YOURSELF GOAT
Aid Ou in Living One War Time Expert
Declares

Chicago, Sept. 11-That the hitherto
despised goat may aid materially in
solving problems arising from war con
ditions by increasing the milk and
cheese production is the opinion adj
vanced by II. l.. Hollister, publisher of
a farm paper. Governor Lowden, of II
linois, is quoted as considering this
theory sound
The keeping Of a goat or two may be-
come as popular way of doing our bit
in the world war as planting a war
garden, according to Mr. Hollister, who
hays that even the dooryard or roadside
may be profitably made to serve as a
pasture for this animal. If you are
a suburbanite, your goats will make
you independent of the milkman and
may enable you to slide safely through
tight times, resulting from sickness or
lack of employment.
Do away with the useless family dog
Mr.. Hollister urges us, and substitute
the profitable goat. 1t is hardy. free
from disease, adaptible to all conditions
and is easily domesticated.
amiable dispositions that qualify them
as pets, and often yiel as much as six
quarts of milk a day. At the present
price of cows milk, Mr.. Hollister esti-
mates such a goat would produce fully
S160 a year
The goat has a great advantage over
the COW, in that it costs only about a
fourth as much to maintain, and gives
milk ten months n year. The milk is
easily digested and makes excellent food
for the baby. Goats flesh has the same
food value as mutton.
Governor Lowden, of Illinois, has ask
ed Mr.. Hollister to appoint a commission
to investigate ways and means of edu-
eating the American public in the value
of the milch goat Mrs c. H. Cahil,
one of Mr.. HOLSTERS experts is already
on her way to Europe to investigate the
extensive goat milk and cheese industry
i'm various countries there.
An attempt is being made to persuade
governors of other states to take sim
liar action to Governor Lowden's ard
thus bring about a concerted campaign
to induce suburbanites, villagers and
small farmers to take up goat raising
and to make the mich goat a perma-
nent American family institution.

MRS. WATSON GAINS TWENTY
POUNDS ON TANLAC-NOW
WELL AND STRONG.

Il have gained all Of twenty pounds
and now l am praising Tanlac for re-
storing my health and strength" was
the remarkable statement made by Mrs
c. L. Watson, corner South Presa and
Doubling streets, San Antonio, Texas,
recently.
Il suffered so much from indigestion
during the past year" continued Mrs.
Watson, that l had almost become
nervous wreck. I had no appetite and
what little l would eat formed gas on
my stomach and kept me in misery
nearly all the time. My nerves were so
unstrung that l would just shake and
tremble like a leaf in the wind and
couldn't even lift glass of water to
my mouth without spilling it. l ached
all over and was so nervous | could
hardly sleep. I was so sick and weak
for two months before l began taking
Tanlac that | couldn't come to town.
In fact was so weak and nervous
couldn't even walk across my room and
while / tried any number of other med
icines, l kept getting worse.
"I'm certainly very grateful TO the
good people who told me about Tanlac
in the papers, for now | have my health
and strength back and l hope my state
ment will be the cause of others finding
relief My nerves are now as calm and
steady as they ever We're and l sleep as
sound as anyone. My stomach is in per-
feet condition. the gas has stopped
forming and my appetite couldn't be
better. / eat as much as l please Of
anything I want and everything agrees
with me perfectly. l am so happy TO
think my health and strength have
been restored that I feel like telling
everybody about Tanlac"

however that the trouble is entirely with Congress
and others that enjoy making experiments on the Ma

There another trouble plainly expressed BY Mr. Champ

From a Minneapolis Lady

the memory Of our most excellent
electric railway system "back
home" has been in my mind, and,
oh, why can't Washington have
one just like it?
1t was the end of a hot, weary
ing day. 1 was very tired. When
l reached Ninth street for my
transfer, l was deposited in the
midst Of many cars and many peo-
pie. In Minneapolis, we would call
it a congestion. Long, long min
utes waited. Two lengthy inter-
secting lines Of cars moved with
elaboration. Finally, a Takoma
Park car crept forward. The proc
esS Of packing it had been COM
pleted some time previously. But
in desperation, l boarded it, as
am not very big. The space al
lowed me for standing room, was
a circle about thirty-four inches in
diameter. This space was at the
end, and l was permitted to brace
myself against the wall. With the
utmost elaboration, we ambled
along, or went grinding along, or
humping along, q carload Of
steaming humans, packed neatly
for delivery some time during the
evening. At every corner, we
lurched forward for q stop, back
ward for a fresh start. After an
interminable succession Of lurch-
inRs and bumpings against our
long suffering neighbors, we wend-
ed our way into Takoma Park,
overcome with strange WEAKNESS
Of soul"

It is an anomaly in this land to
see hundreds Of thousands Of good
American citizens deprived Of the
right to vote.
The people Of Washington have
no voice in the government of that
city. 1t is governed by a commits

way, although Congress is the real
governor.
This was shown in the recent
passage of q prohibition law for
