more. this happened yesterday. Never IN the

The battlefelds yesterday were in the region
near PLAYA near the Nodice and Monte

sections still goes on. The battle has been
decided completely in our favor, and the
enemy attack collapsed on the entire front,
with heavy losses. The enemy came no near
err his aim of breaking through our lines on
the fifteenth day of the battle than on the

"A good broker Is as valuable to the

The broker knows the business. He is

There are charlatans and confidence

For stomach worms In swine good
remedy Is one to two teaspoonfuls Of
turpentine wary according to size) well
mixed with two to four ounces of cas-

soda. These should be well mixed and
placed where they can get 1t at will.
Where hogs are infested with any par
asite seriously It Is not advisable to al
low them to run In the same lots year
