THE INCOME TAX
"a Parted Partnership" /"

A partnership was organized in
July. 1913, and in 1917 one OF its in

therein and retired. How is he to
determine the amount Of gain or

From the selling price should be

BLESSINGS TO A MILFORD MAN.

E. w. Hastings was stricken last
June with tonsilitis, which terminated
into complication of diseases. He was
taken to the hospital and given every
attention possible by the hospital staff,
but on leaving had such a crooked and
stiffened leg, caused by his long suffer-
ing. Of course, Mr.. Hastings wanted
to get this limb Strengthened as soon as
possible, as bis line of work was need
ing his attention every day, so he tried
quite number of different kinds of
treatments and remedies, but all availed
him practically nothing. Mr.. Hastings
was about to give up hopes when Anna
K. Gregorius, Doctor of Chiropractic,
not very well known, came
to Milford and opened an office to prac-
tice this "Devine Profession. as Mr..
Hastings terms it. On the 18th day of
December he went to this Chropractor
on crutches for adjustments, not treat
ments, and on the 14th day of January
he put his crutches aside and now is
walking around with his cane. Mr..
Hastings thinks Chiropractic is q bless
ing to any town or community and wants
everyone with either long standing or
short time ailments to at least give the
a trial. ChirOpractic is
reliable and cheap, says Mr.. Hastings.

ABOUT CONSTIPATION.

Certain articles of diet tend to check
movements Of the bowels. The most
common of these are cheese, tea and
boiled milk. On the other hand raw
fruits, especially apples and bansnas,
also graham bread and whole wheat
bread promote q movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however. the sure way is
TO take one or two of Chamberlain
Tablets Immediately after supper.

A HINT TO THE AGED,

If people past sixty years of age could
be persuaded to go to bed as soon as
they take cold and remain in bed for
one or two days. they would recover
much more quickly, especially if they
take Chamberlain Cough Remedy.
There would also be less danger of the
cold being followed by any of the more
serious diseases.
Milford chronicle., 1918-02-01
WHEN YOU HAVE A COLD.

It is when you have a severe cold that
YOU appreciate the good qualities of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy. Mrs.
Frank Crocker, Pana, ILL.,, writes /:
"Our five-year-old son Paul caught a
severe cold last winter that settled on
his lungs and he had terrible coughing
spells. We were greatly worried about
him as the medicine we gave him did
not help him in the least. A neighbor
spoke so highly of Chamberlain Cough
Remedy that got bottle of it. The
first dose benefited him so much that !
continued giving it to him until he was
cured"

When a Prisoner Is EXCHANGED.

Ivan Rossiter, captured by the Ger
mans and later exchanged, says in the
Farm and Fireside: "Then lay down,
not to sleep but to think. l thought
of the day when i enlisted In Canada,
Of leaving home, the training camps,
the trip overseas to England. the
training in England, going across the
channel to Flanders, the terrific fight
ing at Ypres, of the many friends who
fell on that bloody battlefield, how
was wounded and captured, the inhu-
man treatment l received at the hands
of the German surgeons, who had four
husky Germans hold me down while
they cut five bones out of my wrist
and amputated my middle finger at the
second joint when I was wounded in
the palm of the hand, the kicks and
the cuffs from prison guards and the
terrible stuff the Germans called food
in the prison camps"

To Be Pitched Only in the Morning

Many years ago, when Connie Mack
was the Milwaukee catcher and man.
ager, the club opened the season with
several sore-arm veteran pitchers.
There was one youngster with the club
who did not complain of this trouble.
so they sent him to the slab. Milwau-
kee was beaten something like 10 to 4.
The kid pitcher was downcast.. "The
umpire didn't give me any the best
of it," he said by way of an alibi.
'No," replied Joe Cantillon who had
overheard the remark; neither did the
opposing batters give you any the best
of It,"
The kid walked off in huff. Con-
ME Mack turned to Cantillon. "Tll
say this for the boy" he said, I've
worked out with him every morning
for the last two weeks, and he looked
mighty good"
Cantillon pulled schedule out of
his pocket and glanced over it rapid
~. '"The next morning game Is on
Decoration day, Connie" he remark.
ed. "Save the kid pitcher for then"

FIiuhtiess Parrot.

When Macquarrie island, situated
600 miles to the south OF New Zeal
and, was discovered in 1910, it was in
habited by peculiar fiightless parrot
described by contemporary who saw
numbers of the birds which were
brought to Sydney by sealers as "the
glibbest of the loquacious tribe" Re-
cent investigation of the island makes
it almost certain that this strangely
isolated specimen of the parrot family
is completely extinct, probably as a
result of the introduction of cats,
which have become wild and overrun
the island.

CARRY FOOD TO TRENCHES
French Employ Canine couriers to
Take Supplies to the Men in
Most Exposed Positions.

Trench warfare certainly interferes
with the fighters meals. After cap
turing the enemy's position in partic-
ular, is the fighter at a loss to know
how he will get his regular rations;
for no sooner does the enemy find
himself dispossessed of his original
trenches than he opens up with an in
tense barrage fire designed to prevent
ammunition and food from reaching
the new occupants.
The French army believes 1t has
solved the problem of carrying food to
men in isolated trenches, in its lunch
dogs, says the Scientific American.
Carrying light lunches and coffee, and
even cartridges for the men in the first
line trenches when the combat is hot
and protracted these splendid trained
dogs are more certain to get through
barrages than men. Each dog Is
equipped with sort of double bag,
strapped tight over its body, and pro-
vided with numerous pockets for food
coffee cans, ammunition and other sup
| plies.
1t is at the military dog-training
grounds at Paris that dogs are pre-
pared for this service. Not only are
these four-legged couriers taught to
avoid the enemy and beware of tricks,
| but also to crawl on their stomachs in
order to escape flying bullets. Special
/ masks are provided for these dogs
when they must pass through pois-
! on gas area.

Fighting Doors.

All the doors should swing high
enough from the floor to clear any
rugs placed near them. And they
should be placed so that they will not
jam against one another. l know of
two doors in house that persist in
locking knobs just as two angry bulls
lock horns in mortal combat-Or is it
deer that do this? And when these
doors are in that position, you can't
get out but have to back out, go
around another way, and separate
them. We don't intend having any
doors like that in this house-Harry
