MILK IN WINTER.

Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food.
But we have come to the assistance
of Dame Nature with B. A. Thomas
Stock Remedy which contains the
very ingredients that the green grass
supplies in seaosn, only, of course.
IN = more highly concentrated form
We guarantee that this remedy will
make your cows give more milk, and
better milk with the same feed. St.

. RAPS SHAKESPEARE THEORY
No Nobleman Could Have Written Plays
Saws Schelling

Prof. Felix s. Schelling of the University
of Pennsylvania, laughs at the theory ad-
vanCed by Prof Abel LefranC, of the College
de Paris, that william Shakespeare was
William Stanley, Earl of Derby, an ancestor
OF the present British Ambassador 10 France
Professor SChelling Is an authority On
Shakespeare
When the peerage Is exhausted, some one
may come along and say Queen Elizabeth
wrote Shakespeare-and she could have, bet
ter than Bacon" said Professor SchCllng
"Shakespcares writings prove he could not
have been member OF the peeragC."
Professor Lefranc is creating stir in
French literary circles with his theory Basis
for his contention Is found by the noted
French educator In Loves Labor's Lost" No
other Englshman could have given the
French scenes OF the play except the then
Earl of Derby, he declares. Professor Lefranc
Is the greatest living authority on Rabclais
and he is an honorary member of the Royal
Society Of Literature.
Professor Scheng says Professor Lefranc
Is not the first man to cali Shakespeare the
Earl OF Derby and points out that theories
have been advanced that he was the Earl
OF Stanley, the Earl of Essex and Sir Walter
Raleigh,

row. He succeeds the Rev r. B. Stephenson,

II is likely the opening OF the New Jersey

until a week later because the commission
