Advertising Saved Him

And now advertising has saved
a man from the gallows? +? He was
arrested in Chicago. and the police
forged chain of circumstantia
evidence against him that seemed
to seal his doom. His lawyers
put an advertisement in the
Chicago News, appealing to un-
known witnesses to come forward
and supply the necessary evidence
to break the hypothetical police
chain. These witnesses were
scattered here and there, being
guests at the Y M L A on the
night of the murder, when the
accused man claimed to have also
been a guest. The ad produced
this scattered evidence, and the
man was set free. Thus is the

He Has Found Tanlac to be

are more interesting than the one
received from S r Luton at Bum

which was addressed to G F Willis,

Dear Sir. You will find inclos-
ed testimonial from Professor
Elmer Morris who is one of my
customers. Professor Morris had
delicacy in expressing himself
and granted me the right to give
you the particulars in his case.
He tells me that he has been a
great sufferer from chronic stom-
ach and bowel trouble, and never
had been able TO get anything to
give him any relief. He fell off
in weight from 225 pounds to 170
pounds. He went to Dawson
Springs, KY. and when he came
back he said he was no better.
persuaded him to try Tanlac.
He weighed on my scales at the
time he began taking it and only
weighed 10 pounds. After TAX.
ing three bottles of Tanlac he had
gained 20 pounds. When he
brought this testimonial to me he
had gained 4 pounds more and
weighed 1914. He did not want to
get back to 225 pounds and deci.

THREE SYSTEMS FOR BROOD
ING CHICKS ARTIFICLALLY

oyster shells.
Light the lamp a day or two be-
fore the chicks are to be placed in
the brooder, so that you may be sure
of steady temperature of about 9S
degrees under the hover. The second
week this temperature may be re-
duced five degrees. Work 1t down
to So by the third week. A ther-
mometer should be kept constantly
in view. There must be no guessing.
The lamp should be filled and
cleaned once day, and 1t should be
trimmed twice a day. There should
be no exception to this rule. Remem-
ber it is burning twenty-four hours
a day. The lamp must be kept abso-
lutely safe and efficient Otherwise
the chicks are liable to be baked or
smoked TO death.
Long Brooder House
The principle here is the same as
that of the small colony brooder, eX-
cept that it is a large scale plant.
The building may be any length de-
sired, according to the extent of the
business. The modern aim is to
equip the long brooder house for use
as a maturing or laying house when
IT is not required for brooding pur-
poses.
Inc neat is usually 1ufQlSneQ Dy
system of steam pipes running
above the hover shelters. A more re-
cent method sends the heat through
steam pipes beneath the floor. The
circular hover is used in this sys-
tenn, and the heat is led up to each
successive hover from beneath the
floor by galvanized cylinder. The
kerosene lamp is used in some cases.
The most rigorous methods should
be adopted in the care of the lamps.
Forty or fifty lamps burning day and
night, with such inflammable stuff
lying about, put n large responsible
ity on the care taker. | know of one
instance at least where some 1900
blooded birds were burned up one
night as a result of an exploded
lamp.
Whatever the heating system may
be it should be studied most care
fully and thoroughly mastered. The
care of a fire of any kind is matter
of great importance. 1t is a curious
fact that many intelligent people are
not expert "firemen." Children learn
the fire art slowly. AS a steady
and successfully sustained temper
ature is of vital consequence in
brooding, very special attention
should be given to this part of the
business.
Drafts should be carefully guarded
against in the long building. Doors
should close automatically. The
chicks should be kept we'll separated
