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 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 earli-
er.

DEADLOCK CONTINUES
OVER THE JUDGESHIP
Strong Pressure Brought To Settle
Trouble Has Amounted to Moth
ing So Far.

Washington, July S.-The strong
pressure being brought to bear upon
both the Georgia senators to end the
deadlock which has denied to the
people Of the southern district the
service of federal judge has not
yet been productive of results.
Judge w. E. Thomas, of Valdosta,
who would before this have been ap-
pointed and confirmed but for the OPP
position Of the Georgia senators, has
apparently been removed from fur
Their consideration There would be
nothing gained by sending in his
name only to have it rejected by the
senate as was that of Judge U. V.
Whipple.
Senator Smith was asked today to
give the names of the three men
whose fitness for the office of judge
he is discussing with Attorney Gen
eral Gregory, but he declined to do
so. Nothing definite can be obtained
from the department of justice as to
when a new nomination will be sent
in.

Soldiers Now III France
to Train Later Arrivals

teachers" of modern trench warfare
who will eliminate the last awkward
kinks in the conscript army, prepare
tory to going into the trenches.
More than likely, this informant
says, the National Guard will receive
its final instructions also from the
first expeditionary force now in
France, though it is probable that
they will be stationed near the fir
ing line as will have been done with
the regulars. Nevertheless, they
will be ready to break in the con
script army some time next year, pos
sibly as early as the spring.
Until then there will be very few
Amrican soldiers who will participate
in any actual fighting in the front line
trenches, it is stated The actual fight
ing of the new ally, this country, will
be in progress sometime in the early
part of the summer
1t was pointed out that this will
be but the beginning of the develop
ment of the overseas army. 1t is es-
tinated that five other armies of this
size will be mustered in through con
scription, one after another, until an
army of well over 100000 men will
have been put under arms.
The first conscript army will be
composed Of the flower Of the country
and the finest specimens of manhood
TO be secured. The object is to make
the first overseas conscript force the
very finest army ever organized in
history.
