The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder
has a record of 95 per cent. cures of
Hog Cholera. If you feed your hogs
as directed, you need never fear hog
cholera nor any other hog disease.
And the directions are very simple,
just about what you are doing, plus
a few. cents worth of B. A. Thomas
Hog Powder in the feed twice week.
Usually, though, cholera gets in
before we know it. Then it requires
close attention to each hog-each
hog must be dosed-and if you will
dose them as directed, you will save
better than 80 per cent. If you don't
the B: A. Thomas medicine costs you
nothing. We-not some distant man
ufacture-pay your money back

100 German Ships Now in Use.

Sailing under American names in
the service of the United States are
109~German ships damaged by their
crews prior to their seizure by the
government when was was declared.
They add more than 100000 gross
tonnage to the transport and cargo
fleets in war service for the United
States.
There is evidence that a German
central authority gave orders for
damage to these ships, so that none
could be operated in less than IS
months, and documentary proof that
the enemy believed much of the dam
age to be irreparable. In less than
eight months all the ships were in
service. =
The former German liners, sailing
, under distinctly American names, are
now fitted as troop and cargo ships
Each is convertible to a completely
equipped hospital ship for return
voyage service.

caught up to me. Understand,
I'm not grousing about the way we're
treated, because that is all right.
It's the damnable war, the whole
scheme of warfare on the big scale
that I hate.
Il hate it lot, and yet sometimes

To prevent this, our navy yards
