GOOD OLD : FASH
IONED IRON BEST
AS TONIC.
Plain, Highly Concentrated Nat.
ural Iron Stronger and Con-
tains No Habit Forming
Drug, Narcotic or
Alcohol.
WHOLE FAMILIES USE 1T.

TO use it just plain, ordinary,
natural iron, procurable at any drug
store under the trade name of Acid
Iron Mineral, will stimulate the d.
gestion and appetite, and make any
man or woman rundown and weak,
stronger and more vigorous before
a dollar bottle is half gone, and &C.
cording to tests of thirty years, the
absence of alcohol and purgatives
in this remarkable remedy makes it
ideal as a non-habit forming touic
and blood purifier.
We are bound to notice an i'm
provement shortly after taking Acid
Iron Mineral because it is from two
to SIX times stronger than the usual
chemically prepared" tonics.
Being,s natural, medicinal iron
with no narcotic, alcohol or laxa-
tive added, Acid Iron Mineral may
be given freely to the whole family
for blood, kidneys and digestion.
Be sure you get the highly concen-
trated iron. The trademark AL
M" protects you. There can be no
danger of reaction, false stimula-
ton or of anyone forming the habit.
The more you use of Acid Iron
Mineral, the less you need it.
If the bowels are normal. we
strongly advise against the use of
any remedy containing laxatives,
but where ones bowels are slug
gish, the little AIM Tablets you
can get at the drug store for Csc
are admirable little liver pills and
bowel regulators and work splendid
ly in conjunction with Acid Iron
Mineral.

Greenville, S. c., is the home of
one of the happiest men in the State

is now telling his many friends it ls
all due to the recovery of his health
by the use of the marvellous new
medicine, Vltona. Captain Black

runs fast passenger train No. 3S,
New York to New Orleans Special,
between Greenville and Atlanta,
and is undoubtedly one of the best
known and most popular railroad
men in South Carolina. 1t was in
recent conversation with ]. w. Bul,

Captain Blackman related his ex'
perience with Vitona apd made the
following statement which he 'au'
thorized published for the benefit OF
others:
"When learned about Vitona
and decided to try it, had been
suffering with sciatic rheumatism
for five years. At toe time my
leaders felt like they were tied in
knots and the pain in my hips was
awful. After sitting down for a
while couldn't get up without help
and for weeks I couldn't reach my
feet to put on and take off nay shoes.
I couldly crawl into the cab of my
engine and when I did get in it was
an effort for me to work the throt-
tie. I lost weight and strength con-
tinually, Nothing I would eat
agreed with me and I had terrible
pains in the pit of my stomach. /

and tell you life was more of a

ting worse all the time and nothing
seemed to reach my case to help me
until I began taking 7itona. A few
days ago use of this medicine prov

needed, my leaders became plant
and I could stoop down and get
about easily. 1t is the only medi-
cine that ever gave me any relief
and since taking a few bottles I
never suffer from rheumatism and
don't lose any more time from my
work. I can now hop into my cab
like boy and handle my old en-
gine as weR as I could when l first

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle Of f%reezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether com-
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted of with the fingers.
This new way TO rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for you.-adV.

In such a nest and on this straw, hay,

to sprinkle a little of the powder In

Using an Incubator.
The suggested1schedule can be fol.
LEVIED exactly If an incubator is used.
The machine should be operated in a
warm room, preferably a cellar, as a
protection against outside temporal
ture changes. It should be disinfected
thoroughly before being used, with a
solution of a reliable coal-tar dlsin-
fectant. Instead of using such a so
luton a small receptacle containing
one-half ounce of permanganate of
potash on which One-half ounce of
formalin has been poured may be shut
up in the incubator. The resulting
gas will thoroughly disinfect the ma
chine. After dlsinfection the incuba-
tor should be run empty for several
days to get it in good operating condi-
ton. After the eggs are in place the
temperature should be at from lOl u
to 102 degrees Fahrenheit the first
week, 102 to 1O3 degrees the second
week, and at 103 degrees the third
week.
The eggs usually are turned for the
first time at the end of the second
day and twice daily through the eight
eenth or nineteenth day. The eggs are
cooled outside the Matching chamber
once daily after the seventh and)up to
the nineteenth day. Moisture should
be furnished in artificial incubation in
the South, in high attitudes, and when
the incubator room is dry. This may
be done by sprinkling the eggs with
warm water or by placing a we
sponge or pan of water under the egg
tray.
During the Matching period carefully
fill the lamp and trim the wick each
day.

TO DETERMINE LAYING FOWL
Pelvic Bones Are Spread Apart About
Diameter Of an Egg-some Lay
ers Have Thin Bones.

When a hen is laying, the two pelvic
bones are spread apart about the di-
ameter of an egg Q5s inches) /; other
wise it would be impossible for the
eggs to pass from the hen without the
shell being crushed. As such an ac-
cident would prove fatal to the layer,
nature precluded its occurrence by eX-
panding or separating the pelvic bones
in correlation with the development Of
the eggs.
In the nOnlayer, for illustration, the
distance between the pelvic bones is
the width of one finger or less, and 1t
usually requires from four to six
weeks for this hen to graduate from
the "One-fnger" unproductive class to
the "three-inger" active layer. 1t is
apparent that the expansion Of the
bones is secondary to the development
of the eggs; hence, the more rapidly
the hen forms her eggs, the taste. her
pelvic bones are adjusted to the lay
ing condition.
A few layers have thin, flexible
bones apparently a desirable condl-
tiOn) that do not expand so wide as
hens with firm bones, and care must be
exercised in judging whether such hens
are laying or nOt.-Clemson College
