How to Rid Cats and Dogs Of the Pes.
Of FINae,

Attention has been called to the fact
that care must be taken in using tar
camphor on dogs to rid them Of fieas.
not to let them lick their fur before
the tar camphor has been brushed of.
Tar camphor never should be used on
cats. for they naturally lick their fur
to keep 1t smooth, and in this way the
camphor will get into the alimentary
canal and poison the animal. A valu-
able cat treated with the camphor had
to be killed to put 1t out Of Its agony.
But in the case Of dogs this danger is
slight.

some competent drillmaster for the
instruction OF the contemplated orEa-
nization in the manual OF arms and
In company evolutions. Those going
into such company would not OF

purpose of the company will be to
bring the community 10 state OF

FEED OURSELVES

+ Our county is not in want, and the
way to keep from being in want is
to produce enough for ourselves and
TO spare. The outlook is fine for
large crops of all kinds of fruits, and
il, will be the same in the vegetable
line. If you plant the seed and at
tend to cultivating the crop. Plant
every foot of ground to something.
You can use it. sell it and have some
to give to the needy. Remember war
makes lots of want and woe. Let us
be prepared to alleviate both.
In other days our mothers grew
sweet corn for use as green corn and
dried enough to do all winter. Let us
revive the custom. Dried peas and
beans are good all winter long. A eel
lar with bin full Of cabbage. SQUASH
pumpkins. beets. turnips. carrots
parsnips and onions will never 20
amiss. A shelf full OF canned toma.
toes, pears. peaches. peas. pickles,
will look mighty good TO the proud
housewife that provided those things
for her family and to have some 10
spare to the needy. Our resources
are great. Let us improve them be
fore its too late to plant. The world
will look TO us for both seeds and
tne fruits and they should not look
in vain. Let me impress on everyone
the necessity TO heed this admoni'
tion. PLANT. that We may reap"
