RESULTS OF POULTRY SAVING

Poultry production must be pushed
vigorously. "One Hundred Hens ON
Every Farm" is the popular and time
ly slogan and fits in aptly with the
restrictions Of the Food Administra-
ton on the marketing of hens. This
regulation caught some poultry raisers
with surplus of breeding hens AL
though there is no surplus in the
country at large. for the shortage of
reeds and the high price of poultry
mas tempted breeders and the owners
OF small hocks to sell their hens.
Even those Inconvenience bv the
restriction on the sale of hens can
easily see the point in the regulation.

WHAT TO EAT.

Indigestion and practically all

chloric acid in the stomach. Chronic
"acid stomach" Is exceedingly dang

Either they can go on limited

excess acid secretion or they can eat
as they please in reason and make
il practice to counteract the effect
of the harmful acid and prevent the
formation of gas. sourness or prema-
ture fermentation by the use of a
little Bisurated Magnesia at their
meals.
There is probably no better, safer
or more reliable stomach antiacid
than Bisurated Magnesia and it is
widely used for this purpose. 1t has
no direct action on the stomach and
is not digestent. But teaspoon
grain tablets taken in n little water
with the food will neutralize the ex-
cess acidity which may be present
and prevent its further formation.
This removes the whole cause of the
trouble and the meal digests natural

for either powder or tablets. 1t never

Finding of Mans Skeleton
Solves Blue Ridge Mystery

Wayncsboro. Pa. Nov. 12.-John
Brown and Solomon Monn were cut
ting wood about 4.30 o'clock Satur-
day afternoon in a dense forest of
trees and bushes in the Blue Ridge
mountains, one-half mile north of
the old rolling mill in what is known
as the William Nom field in the
Glen Furney or Old Forge district
They had spotted a large tree some
distance from a clearing in the field.
and were making their way toward
il. parting the thick underground
with their hands when they sum-
bled upon the skeleton of a man.
And in that moment was solved the
mysterious disappearance on Au
gust 20 of this yea rof Smith Flohr
So years old. resident of Fountain
dale, and known to everyone on the
mountainside.
The spot where the naked bones
were found by the woodchoppers is
about three-quarters of a mile from
the oTad and il was evident the old
man had wandered into the thicket,
became exhausted and unable, be-
cause of the isolation of the spot.
TO make his distress known, had
died.
Fifty yards from the remains was
a coat and 100 yards away was a
hat. But Brown and Nom could not
ideStify these and, leaving them un-
disturbed, notified the coroner and
also d. c. Flohr. of Blue Ridge SUM-
NIT, his son, who later identified the
clothing as belonging TO his father.
Coroner Kinter, of Chambersburg,
decided there was no cause for an
irluest. as everything pointed to the
fact that Mr.. Flohr died a natural
death. The body was buried Sunday
afternoon in the Fountaindale Gene
terry.
The disappearance of Mr.. Flohr
was one of the most mysterious af-
fairs which has ever occurred in this
section of the mountains. On Au-
gust 20 he was wing with his son.
Irwin S. Flohr, tFountaindale. On
that day he and his son walked to
the Clermont Hotel and Mr.. Flohr.
the older man, decided he would
walk to the house of his other son,
D. E. Flohr, at Blue Ridge Summit.
In spite of his age he was strong and
could walk many miles daily.
