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 condition. The
B. A. Thomas Hog Powder is a con-
ditioner for hogs. 1t Keeps their
system clean and healthy and enables
them to fatten quickly without falling
a prey to the usual disease of hogs.
The B. A. Thomas Hos Powder is not
stock food. It's straight medicine, and
we took the agency because it enables
you to feed out your hogs much EARL.

Washington, D. c. July 24-The fed
eral governments plan for insuring
officers and men of the army, navy
and marine corps against death and in
jury while in service broadened to-
day into complex program which
owuld provide government allowances

the rehabilitation and training of in
jured men to fit them for making a

ference among officials of the War,
Navy, Treasury, Commerce and La
Dor Departments, the Labor Commit
tee of the Council of National De-
Tense and the presidents and other
high officers of leading insurance com
panies of the United States.
Outstanding Features.

government paying the extra cost, in
IDENTITIES for total or partial disabili-
ty and administration of the entire
scheme by the governments war risk

ant insuring officers and crews of
American merchant vessels, are
among the outstanding features of the
proposed program.

but when it has been worked out in
all its fundamentals and details, Sec
retary McAdoo will present it to the

Heavy Purchases of War

WOMEN TO Be LOYAL
By Tho United Press.

BY Tho United Press.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-This is LIB
erty Day-on which the government
looks to the nation TO swell enormous
ly the Liberty Loan.
With the halfway mark reached IN
the campaign for s5.0O0.Ooo.OO0 SUBJ
scrlptlons, hundreds OF thousands OF
volunteer workers are earnestly preach
ing the doctrine OF helping make DEM
ocracy safe through heavy purchases
OF Liberty Bonds.
The United Press idea Of a Liberty
Bond Christmas present became one OF
the most potent appeals with the en-
dorsement Of the highest government
officials and the country's banking and
industrial leaders.
Women were urged by Mrs. McAdoo,
wife OF the Secretary OF the Treasury
and chairman Of the Woman's Liberty
Loan Committee, to do your Christmas
shopping early by buying a liberty
bond"
The woman who chooses a bond as
her Christmas gift" said the Presi-
dents daughter. "also gives service
to help win the war."
From Lord Reading, Lord Chief
Justice OF England. who is heading
the British financial mission in this
country today. also came approval Of
the Yuletide Liberty Bond. In the
first signed statement he has given
since coming to the United States.
LORD Reading said through the United
PreSs:
"A triumphant over subscription
OF this Liberty Loan would be the
best answer to the Kaiser's derision
OF the power OF the United States
to wage effective war. A Christmas
gift Of a Liberty Bond will help
not only the recipient, but the she'll
swept soldiers OF the trenches"
Secretary McAdoo. who is empha-
sizing the Christmas bond in all his
speeches, challenged the country TO
make this Liberty Day an OMNIBUS
one for the German Kaiser"
Let us make II the beginning OF
, the end OF military despotism and
inhuman warfare. Today the AmeTi-
can public is on trial.

TEN, before the National Association OF

last week, the Pennsylvania has taken
an important step ia this direction by
a plan to absorb the Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington Railroad into it,
system
A meeting OF stockholders Of the
Philadelphia, Balt<lore and Washington
Railroad has been called for November
to vote upon leasing the road 70 the
Pennsylvania for 900 years from Janu-
ary J., 1915. The Pennsylvania Railroad
owns oil e1t twenty or thirty shares
of the smaller road and operates IL a.
tho southern link Of its 25,000-mile
system.
The advantage of the merger, II is
asserted will be the operation Of the
road directly by Pennsylvania Railroad
officials without maintaining a special
corps Of officers and directors. II also
will eliminate what Mr.. Rea has refer
red TO as a "needlass accounting de-
pament."
Mr.. Rea. who is a member Of the
Railroads War Board at Washington,
working with the Council Of National
Defense In keeping open the rail trans
portation lines during the war, in citing
the necessity for a closer combination
of the railroads before the State rail
road commissioners saids
"The day has come for the consoli-
dalton and unifcation OF railroad sys-
tens. No fewer than 1886 separate rail-
road corporations report to the inter-
state Commerce Commission, and
hazard the guess that at least 2300 OF
