Lieutenant Clarence r. Span, OF
Indianapolis, Ind, formerly Of Keokuk,
is one of group of eighteen Hoos-

American filters went over the Alps in
January and since that time have
been mastering the crafts which they
hope will carry them over the Rhine.
Their flying field is hemmed in by
mountains.
The arrival OF the aviators in Italy
is described in Letter written by
Lieut.. e. G.. Coulter, copy of which
has been sent to Elmer V. D. Mas, of
Keokuk

The lowly Pig has come into his
own. The juicy pork chop. the
savory sausage and the succulent
ham-bone are high priced Injuries
on today's bills-of-fare. The time
when the average family laid in a
porker as part of the winters sup
plies, paying from cents to 6h
cents per pound for the carcass, has
long gone by. Today hogs are fetch
ing 10 cents and over, per pound on
the hoof and the supply is wholly in
adequate to the demand. This ac-
counts for current prices of 48 cents
per pound for chops and SO cents for
choice sausage meat.
Mr.. Farmer is not blind to this
opportunity to increase his income.
Everywhere he is giving more atten-
ton to the breeding Of hogs. This is
particularly true in Canada's West
ern Provinces where favorable
climatic conditions reduce disease

tility Of the prairies' virgin soil
makes possible the record breaking
yields of grain that Canadian farm
err have been shipping to the hungry
millions of Europe and is turned to
account in the raising of hogs. The
sort of foods that make for good
pork grow there in abundance, even
on the cheap lands, and hogs can be
raised there at less expense than
elsewhere.
The principal hog foods Of West
ern Canada are alfalfa, oats, barley
and wheat Alfalfa, the king of hog
folders, is grown successfully
throughout the west, especially IN
the irrigated areas of Southern AL
berta. Oats and barley yield heavy
crops and make pork and bacon of
the finest flavor, the sort that COM
mands the highest prices. For grow
ing hogs there is no food superior
to Western Canadian oats which
weigh up to 81 pounds per bushel
and contain large amount of meat

which makes it possible for the farm
er to get his hogs to market in the
quickest and best way, helps him
further by maintaining demonstra-
ton farms where crop experiments,
breeding and food tests are carried
on for the benefit of the farmers.
The raising of hogs has meant big
money for Canadian farmers the
past year. In the Province Of AL
berta alone, the live stock estimate
of the Department of Agriculture
for 1917 give the number of hogs as
730,237 with valuation of $10,953,-
555. 1t is confidently predicted that
the 1913 record will go far beyond
these figures. The market price for
hogs in the Calgary market for the
week of February 21-28, 1889 aver
aged 1870 per hundred-weight.
Such returns are an incentive to
get into the game.

customers-what was then known only as
Dr. Lewis Medicine for Stomach, Liver
and Bowel Complaints.
For many years while was perfecting my
formula I studied and investigated the
iaxatives and cathartics on the market and
became convinced that their main fault
was not that they did not act on the bowels,
put that their action was too violent ana
drastic, and upset tho system of the user;
which was due to the fact that they were
not thorough enough in their action, some
simply acting on the upper or small lntes-
lnes, while others would act only on the
iower or largo intestines, and that they
almost invariably produced habit re-
curing augmented doses.

she oest effect must first tone the liver,

the user feel better at once.
