Animal Diseases Rob Army
Months Meat Rations

one of the greatest problems be-
fore the American farmer to-day is
not only to supply the animal products
needed by the United states, but also
TO supply the eyer-increasing demand
for these products by our allies as
serted DR.. I. d. Wilson, veterinarian at
the Pennsylvania State College. Con-
Servative estimates taken in England
and France alone show a decrease of
s 900 600 head of cattle. 100000 hogs
and l7.5OO,O 600 sheep in these coun-
tries since the beginning of the war.
The American farmer must not only
compensate for this great loss, but
must also ward off possible animal
bankruptcy after the war is over.
1t is estimated that the annual loss
in the United States due to animal
diseases is s212,OOO0O0 This amount
Of money is approximately sufficient
TO furnish the meat ration for 2,OOO,-
600 soldiers for eight months. Most
of this loss results from infectious
diseases which can be controlled in a
large measure by proper manage
mcnt.
During the past fifteen years the
population of the United States has
been increased by $1,000. 900 people.
During the same time there has been
decrease of 100000 head of beef
animals and 1000. 900 sheep. The
number of hogs has increased only
1000, 600. 1t is thus very evident that
that the livestock industry cannot
continue to decrease in the future as
ii has in the past. Infectious diseases
must be controlled and better live
stock produced.

How To Get Rid
OF Indigestion

Most people who suffer from indi-
gestion, gastritis, dyspepsia, etc.-eNen
those who have been afflicted for
years and who have tried doctors,
hospitals and patent medicines galore
without permanent beneht-can get
instant relief and insure pGinleSs nor
NAL digestion by taking a teaspoonful
of ordinary Bi-neSia in a little hot
water Immediately after eating" The
authority for the above statement
who has spent years IN European
countries investigating the results
from the use of the product known
among druggists here as Binesia
claims that the remarkable and IN
stant relief which almost invariably
follows its use is due togthe fact that
il neutralizes stomach acid and stops
chance to proceed with its work
without hindrance. He also related
many instances of its successful use
not only by doctors and hospitals, but
also of its widespread use by French,
English and Italian soldiers at the
front; and expressed the belief hat
every American soldier should carry
a bottle of Bi-nesia in either powder
or tablet form s.s guarantee against
those stomach complaints which so
frequently follow hasty eating or the
use of imperfectly cooked food. Care
should be taken to insist on getting
the genuine Bi-nesia, which owing to
its marvellous properties is now sold
by druggists everywhere under Il
binding guarantee of satisfaction or
money back.
IMPORTANT - The Bi-nesia r1cn-
toned above is a harmless but won
derfully effective remedy which you
can make at home or any druggist
can prepare for you by mixing lIa
ounces bisoma carbonate with ! ounce
magnesia carbonate. If. however. you
wish a guarantee of satisfaction or
money back, be sure to ask for an
original package of Bi-nesia.-Adver-

HOW TO SAVE

An accurate and very efficient
system of saving fuel has been out

County Fuel Administrator, which
should be carefully read by every
housekeeper in Harrisburg. The dis
position of the fuel administrators: as
already demonstrated, is to inject
