vember Are Largest Producers Of
EGGS in Winter.

Hens that mott as late as October
and November are the high layers.
Some will lay into December before
taking on their new coat Of feathers.
Poor layers invariably are those that
mott in summer and early autumn. AT
the end of the laying season their leg
is bright yellow and with little or no
change in color of plumage or condi-
ton.
Don't coop up hen that looks shah
by in color and condition in the WIN
ter, as your best layers will show signs
of fading and a rundown appearance.
Show them favors, as they are the ones
that produce and have the breeding.
If one will select pen of late mol.
tiers and give them male bird of q
good laying strain, the matches from
them will greatly improve the egg pro
ductiOn.

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO 10 MAKE 1T BETTER


For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the Improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest. and tharwas that cooking
or soasting tobacco improved It in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco grown
in this country: toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened :. to replace the
tlatural~moisture driven of by toasting:
made it into cigarettes. called them
LUCKY STRIKE the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product in .
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting : not
only most wholesome, but the hava- ic
.;.eatiy improved, .,stas cooking improves
reat for example.

Hallway treatment of Rheumatism
viii never rid you of it. Better realize
from the outset that when Rheumatism
attacks, you have a real battle on
your hands and that it's a mans job to
get nd OF it.
TempOrizing with Rheumatism by
the use OF liniments, lotions and other
external methods Of treatment, is like
trying to coax an enemy to let up in
ms attacks, and permit you to con-
quer him without resistance.
But you soon learn that Rheumetism
win not treat you with this consider
alton. The tiny little germs flock to-
gether by the millions and center their
attack with undivided force. The ef-
feets OF the disease are gradual in
taking hold Oh the system. In fact,
the pains are only slight at first and
do not attract your serious attention,
but they gradually increase in sever
ity until your entire system is firmly
within the grip of the disease. It is
then that you have a real fight on your
hands, for you VIII find that Rheuma-
tism is q foe that knows Just how to
cripple You. The pains that were
hardly noticeable at first, become
your constant companions, and seem
10 take delight IN your suffering.
OF course, if this painful disease was

sonably expect to get relief by the use
Of surface remedies, such as liniments

The sensible treatment for this dis
ease, and the only one from which
you can expect permanent results, is a
treatment that goes down into the
blood supply and reaches the source
of the disease. S. S. S. is a wonderful
blood remedy and is the logical treat
ment for rheumatism, because it
promptly Permeates the entire blood
supply and searches out and elimi-
mates the disease germs.
If you are a victim of Rheumatism,
you can take s. S. S. with the assurance
that VOC are not experimenting, but
using q remedy that has brought relief
to thousands who have suffered from
this painful disease. This great old
remedy has been sold all over the
United States for more than fifty
years, and has been used with graft

for a sufferer to become acquainted
with the powers of S. S. S, for in this
remedy is found the help that can come
only from the proper treatment.
Many letters have been written to

DAN JOHNSON, president OF the
u American league, IS not inclined
rush matters in regard to resuming
the pennant races next year because
Of the turn Of events in Europe. He
is Of the opinion that the major
leagues must make their plans care
fully and wait for a return Of former
conditions, just as every other busi-
ness in the country must gradually
change from a war TO a peace basis.
The leagues at present cannot tell
how many first class players they
will Re able TO sign Tor 1919. and so
Johnson is advising against adopting
playing schedules for next season. He
is Of the opinion that it viii be best
to let matters rest until next Feb
