 Enroute to the Sea Editor Cleveland County Herald:
 Rison, Arkansas. Dear Editor:
 We were stopped here, near Birmingham, and l just feel like writing to you all at home. Ycu should be proud of old Clevelan q county, it is far ahead of the country We are passing through. These hills are all torn up by coal mines, and what land that Is tillable is not as good as that back there.
 There are only four of us Cleveland county boys who are eaVing now. They are Jessie Pierson, Red McCauley, James Young and myself, we feel proud our company, which is the 2lst we remain by that number until the war is over, so now if you read about5.the 21st Automatic troops getting the kaiser's goat, you may know who participated in the same.
 We have our 90-pound pack, also our new 1917 model Reming- ton rifles which is a soldiers oestsfriend,
 You people back home I kno W are proud of your fighting mf n, we feel proud of you, if you are 100 per cent American, stan ling by and doing your bit.
 We hope to soon be. with you and rejoice at the. captU re of BiIl'' the lady slayer.
 Yours most respectfully,

Why Take CaIoz1lei2 3
Dr. Thacher's Liver & Blood Syrup will do all that calomel will do and
 without the ''after effects"

Years aeo, when people were bilious, when the liver got lazy and failed to dc it's work or the stomach was out ot condition, calomel was the standby.
 By and by the users of oaiomel found that the aafter effects" of taking the drug were as bad and more often worse than the ailment for which it was taken.
 Dr. Thacher, in seeking @ medicine to take the place of calomel-one that would do all the good that calomel would do, and yet leave none of its evil effects perfected Dr. Tnacher's Liver 6 Blood Syrup. This was in 1852, ard each year since has added to the conf dence of those who have used it.
 Miss Susie Brewer, of Chattanooga. Tenn, tried cGlOnlel. She was suffer ing with very serious cold and gripp6 and had no appetite whatever. After the cal0mei failed she tried Dr, Thach- ar's Liver &o Blood Syrup. She fell better after taking three doses and sht soon got entirely well. s'I think Dr rhache7's Liver and Blood Syrup is wonderful 1nedicine,n she said, "and snl very thankful l tried i5."

prepared by the United States Depart

The effect of an abundance of food
on the breeding of rodents should be
Kept in mind. Well-fed rats mature
quickly, breed often, and have large
filters. Poorly fed rats, on the con-
trary, reproduce less frequently and
have smaller filters. In addition,
scarcity of food makes measures for
destroying the animals far more effec-
tive.
Merchandise in Stores.-In all parts
of the country there is serious eco
nomic drain in the destruction by rats
and mice of merchandise held for sale
by dealers. Not only foodstuffs and
forage, but textiles, clothing, and
leather goods are often ruined This
loss is due mainly To the faulty build
ings in which the stores are kept.
Often it would be a measure of econ
omy to tear down the old structures
and replace them by new ones. How

GIVE FEED ANIMALS RELISH
Formed by Habit, II Is Better to
Cater to 1t.

Animals are much like human be-
ings in that they have their own indi
yidual preference for certain foods.
While this preference Is formed by
habit, to get the best returns with the
feeds, 1t Is best generally to cater TO
the animals appetite.
Some horses will not do well with
out oats in the ration. Others do not
especially care for oats, but require
corn. some require more hay than
others, some must have ground feeds.
To get the best results such animals
should be humOred.
Our problem in feeding is to watch
the animals and see that they get the
feeds they require and no more. Feed

DRY FEED INSTEAD OF SLOP

pigs may be found fastidiously nosing
through thick slOp. when If dry mid

some men don't like milk toast; that Is
the way with pigs. Try raising a bunch
Of pigs on dry middlings instead Of
slop Of middlings, and the chances are
that the pigs will demonstrate the
success Of the experiment. Germs and
Odors don't accumulate around a
trough in which dry feed is provided;
dry feed doesn't freeze up to insult the
appetite Of hog. like slOp may do In

Most Of the labor and time usually
consumed in lifting paper stock to the
top of a fiat press in a printing estab-
lishment are saved through the use Of
an elevating mechanism that is now
being adopted. A steel framework,

Is attached at the feeding end of a
press. The paper is moved beneath II

tached to the latter and power applied.
When the top of the stack reaches

elevation until exhausted.-Popular
