every instance, the pigs are pure bred
and are getting the very best of atten-
ton. As soon as can 1 will see every

gratified If all of them are getting the

The members are asking me about
the record books. Mr.. Sanders has told
me that he would not send out any OF
these this year, but wants the boys to
make their reports on the quarterly re-
port cards which he sends them. l
would suggest that you keep record
of your feeds on a tablet or any con-
venient blsnk book and then transfer
to your quarterly cards at the proper
time. If you have not received this
card, drop me a card and l will write
Mr.. Sanders to forward you one.
Every member is cautioned to keep
an accurate account of the amount and
cost of the feed which you use; we
want our records to be good, but not
good at the expense Of accuracy.
Stndy the table which you have re
ceived giving amounts to be charged
for different kinds of feed.
Do not forget that there will be lots
of fine pigs shown in the fall, and that
you will have to do your very best il

Why We Are Fighting Germany.

men, murdered against all law,
without warning.

make an exception in the case of

eve of war registration day, Sec
retary Lane, in speech before
the Home Club of the Interior
Department tonight, answered
the question: why Are We
Fighting Germany"
America is at war, Mr.. Lane
said, in self-defense: she is at
war to save herself with the rest
Of the world from the nation that
has linked itselft with the Turk
and adopted the method of Ma
nomet.
Observation-Disclosures 3"
said the secretary. 1T is the
duty of all to register if within
the clas, called. There are some
who have not clearly seen the
reason for that call. 10 these l
would speak a word.
why are we fighting Germa-
ny? The brief answer is that
ours is a war of self eefense.
Germany made the attack upon
us; on our ships, our lives. our
rights, our future. For twoyears
and more we held to a neutrality
that made us apologists for things
which outraged mans common
sense of fair play and humanity.
''At each new offense, we said:
This is war-archaic. uncivil-
lied war, but war, all rules have
been thrown away; man has come
down 70 the primitive brute.
And while we cannot justify, we
will not intervene. 1t is not our
war;"
COULD NOT KERP OUT.
''Then why are we in? Be-
cause we could not keep out.
The invasion Of Belgium led to
the invasion of the United States
by slow, steady, logical steps.
1--WE talked in the language
and in the spirit of good faith
and sincerity, until we discovered
that our talk was construed as
cowardice.
And so we came into this war
for ourselves. It is a war to save
America, to preserve self-respect,
to Justify our right to live as we
have lived, not as some one else
wishes US to live. In the name
of freedom we challenge, with
ships and men, money and an un-
daunted spirit, that word Yer
boten," which Germany has writ.

land.
1T is more precious that this
America should live than that we
Americans should live. And this

why THAT Lame BACK?

That morning lameness- those sharp
pains when bending or lifting, make
work a burden and rest impossible,
Don't be handicapped by bad back -
look to your kidneys. You will make no
mistake by following this Lancaster
residents example.
Chris Hutchinson, carpenter, Crab Or
chard ST., Lancaster, says: My kid
neys were in bad shape and had a
constant pain over my right kidney. AS
my work calls for great deal of stoop-
ing, my back ached severely. MY kid
neys We're too frequent in action at
times and then again sluggish. The kid
ney secretions contained sediment.
Doan's Kidney Pills, from Storms Drug
Store, soon rid me Of the backaches
and regulated the action of my kidneys.
am glad to recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills, for know they are good kidney
medicine. soc. at all dealers. Foster

THE CHINESE BELIEVE

That the stomach is the seat of all rea-
soning powers, describing the theory
that the brain is the motive center al
together.
Their idea has plausible features to a
certain extent.
We all know that if the digestive sys-
TEN is wrong it impairs all the faculties
of the,body. Thinking, reasoning, work.
ing, all become difficult when the diges-
ton is bad.
A man or woman becomes languid,
discontinued, quarrelsome and generally
out of sorts so long as their liver or
kidneys are out of order.
Fast eating, overwork and our rapid
and perhaps careless methods OF life
today all tend to diminish the proper
digestion of food.
What is the result of this unnatural
modern life.
The stomach can not digest the food,
the natural juices are depleted, and there
is a constant state of ferment.
This condition furnishes regular
breeding place for germs of different
diseases.
The liver becomes clogged and con-
gested, the kidneys become weak and
impotent. Poisons of one kind and an
other that are naturally worked off
through Natures channels can not be
disposed of, and so they are absorbed
by the blood and make their appearance
in the form of rheumatism, eczema,
humors and other forms of blood dis
ease. 1t is almost mpossiable to enum-
crate the consequences Of negIecting
indigestion. In It's train follows heart
burn, biliousness, jaundice, chrome m
digestion, sour stomach, gastric fever,
constipation. appendicitis, piles, liver
and kidney complaints. humors. rheu-
matIsm and even blood poisoning.
"ARLO" the miracle medicine, was
especially designed to prevent all of
these troubles due TO disordered diges-
tion by striking directly et the root of
the trouble. The cost of 1t is very reas-
enable compared to the results YOU get.
ARL0 is sold exclusively in Lancas-
ter by Stormes Drug Store.
