RED CROSS TO GIVE F|RST-HANO NEWS IF
 CASUALTIES OF WAR

Persons in the Southwest who have sons. brothers. husbands, fathers and sweethearts at the front will be espe- eially interested in the announcement that the American Red Cross has or ganized Bureau of Communication at Washington to give them details Of casualties at the front The bureau will supplement in a personal and hu- manitarian way the reports of the Sta tistical Division of the War Depart ment. which gives to relatives official notice when soldier Is reported killed, wounded or missing.
 The bureau will be ably presided over by William R. Castle, IT., for merly assistant dean of Harvard Col lege and editor of the Harvard Grad uates' Magazine. The information on which it will base it's reports IS gath cred through a central office in Paris, under the direction of E. Gerry Chad wick of New York, aided by the Rev Robert Davis of Englewood, N. J., and 30 assistants stationed at the base hos pitals and rest camps to which sol diers are generally returned following important engagements.
 The bureau will advise In detail the nature and extent of the wound. and will gather evidence from comrades in arms and at the hospitals and rest camps regarding those reported miss ing
 Relatives will be given any informa- ton of interest or consolation through personal letters. It will be possible for the wounded to send messages in the same way.
 The bureau is reporting on all cases that come to it's attention. It Is prob. able, however, that with the increase of reports from the front information will be sent only to relatives request ing it, except in cases of those impris- oned or reported missing"
 Through the International Red Cross office at Geneva, Switzerland, the list of American prisoners sup piled officially by the German govern ment will be sent to the bureau.

Will The American Farmer
 Kill The Kaiser's Wolf-Famine

Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga. dependent upon this country, full ration. At best there is going to be lack. The American farmer must awaken to a serious realization that this is no small task, in fact, it is only fighting chance.
 If the American farmer will only realize this, then he must recognize that every blow he makes must count for the utmost. Maximum yields must be striven for as never before.
 This is no time to leave anything unemphasized that will count for greater yields. Efficiency must oper- ate with every act on the farm from breaking the soil deeply to garnering the crops with a saving hand.
 Thorough preparation of the seed bed may be accomplished with less labor than is customary, by the use of labor saving farm machinery.
 Liberal and rational applications of plant food should be made this year.
 Farmers who never used commer. cial fertilizers before should certain ly do so now for the nations sake.
 The same modern, labor saving farm machinery that will enable a farm hand to blow two rows while blowing one heretefore-and blow them better-must be made use of. | It's hard fight all spring. summer and fall for the American farmer | Will he win?

 The farmer can win this war.
 Only by famine does the Kaiser hope to conquer-famine by force of the sub marine. If the submarine brings Eng land and France to their knees, beg ging bread in the humiliation of de- feat, the Kaiser will then turn upon the United States.
 England and France can be saved from famine by the farmers of the United States and Canada in spite of the submarine, if they will The sub marine will sink food that England and France so sorely needs but the submarine can not sink enough to starve our allies, if the farmer of the United States will raise maximum crops, raise every pound and save ev. cry pound of foods he possibly can.
 It's a fight, therefore, between the one hand and the gaunt wolf of the Kaiser, famine, on the other hand.
 If the American farmer can raise enough to allow for the submarine toll and enough more food to place lover there" to feed those who are fighting, then victory is ours.
 But it's narrow margin. The whole world is on the verge of star vation. If even a normal crop is pro duced in this country it is not going l to afford enough to feed everybody

 Early matching reduces the risks due to the vicissitudes of matching When eggs do not hatch well early n the season there is time to find the reason for poor matching and correct t before the season is too far ad- ganced to get reasonably early chicks Il the numbers desired. In that case poultry production may not be re- iueed at all, and egg production is retarded only a few weeks. When late matching is not satisfactory the crop of poultry is cut short and egg production fails.
 Remember, March, April and May are the best months in which to hatch chickens.

TAKE CARE AND FEED THE PIo
 PROPERLY FOR BEST RESULTS
By II. K. Sanders. Pig Club Specialist,
 University of Arkansas.

Care and feed are two great factors in producing pigs; consequently how to feed thepigs before weaning should be we'll understood It is true that if pigs are given an opportunity they will begin to eat when about three weeks old. For these young animals nothing is superior to skim milk mix ed with shorts. Many farmers have no skim milk, and in this case a thin slop of shorts will be the best thing to feed until the pigs are from four 70 six weeks old arer which time the ra- tion should be made up of equal parts of corn meal and shorts. These young alone. They should be given such feeds as skim milk, shorts, pas ture, cowpeas, soy beans, meal and peanuts, because they make bone and muscle.
 Weaninq the Pigs.
 Don't wean under eight weeks of age. IL is better not to wean until 10 or 12 weeks of age The mothers feed at weaning time should be re- duced so that the flow of milk will be checked. If full feed is continued when the pigs are weaned, the moth CTS teats and udders are apt to be ruined. Gains on young sucking pigs can be made as cheap by feeding given amount of feed to the mother as feeding directly to the pigs, yet the pigs should be accustomed to feeds before they are taken from the moth CTS. If not they are sure to be ser iously checked in their growth. Feed what they will readily clean up of five parts corn meal, five parts of shorts and one part of tankage or nine parts of corn meal to one part of tankage, bran or middlings for young pigs: and for adult pigs one part tank age to II parts of corn, bran or mid dlings will balance the rations in the proper proportion Of each to build up the bone and muscle of the pig. Pigs eight to nine weeks old should weigh from 35 to 40 pounds each

Early Chickens More Vigorous.

Early Chickens More Vigorous.
 Early matched chickens give the pest results. They are usually the strongest and most vigorous be- .ause they are produced from eggs aid while the hens are in their best breeding condition. After long pc -iod of laying, hens lose something transmit vigor to their offspring, and 50 late matched chicks are, as rule, decidedly inferior to early matched in igor and constitution.
 Make Better and Cheaper Growth.
 Because they are more thrifty and vigorous, early matched chickens make quicker, better and cheaper growth han late chickens. Weak and under sized chickens often consume as much iced as much larger and better de- Yeloped birds, and still make no per. septible growth.
 More Healthy.
 Early chickens develop to the stage where they can withstand extreme heat and the attacks of parasites. which are numerous and troublesome ln hot weather. Late chickens are likely to be caught by severe heat lust at the stage of their growth where heat is most facilitating to 4hem In their weakened condition they then become an easy prey to lice and mites, their growth is interrupted and when the cold, wet weather comes in the fall they are peculiarly sus eeptible to it and likely to develoI solds. while vigorous early chicks fin'

SWEDISH INDUSTRY
AFFECTED BY VAR
Textile Industry in Particular Hard Hit
By World Conflict, According
to American Commercial
AGENT
Agent.

Swedish industries have suffered Sc
verely in consequence of the war Ac-
cording to a report transmitted by Com
mercial Agent Norman l.. Anderson of
Copenhagen, Denmark, the Gothenburg
fair, which was the first exhibition Of
manufactured articles since 1914, showed
many signs of the alternating situation
and paralysis of production, due TO de-
mand for large output, followed by lack
of raw materials. Efforts, sometimes
successful and sometimes unsatisfactory,
have been made to obtain substitutes
for cotton, silk and wool.
'The goods from all parts of Sweden
gathered at the Swedish fair show clear
ly the influence on its industry of the
period Of crisis" says Mr.. Anderson.
Most striking, perhaps, is what is lack
ing at the fair The very meager repre-
sentation of the textile industry speaks
for itself. The use Of substitute raw
materials for this purpose is new in Swe-
den. There is, however, quite an as
sortment Of textiles of paper, especially
for curtains, table linen, Innings, etc,
and of paper mixed with wood for cloth,
In emergency cases this cloth may, Of
course, be used, but as long as common
" woven cloth il obtainable the paper
products viii find no general use"

SHIP LOST WITH
ALL ON BOARD
Princess Sophia Strikes Rock and Goes
Down in Lynn Canal,
Alaska

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 2S-The PCS
passengers and crew of rs men were
lost when the steamship Princess Sophia
foundered Friday night, the Canadian
Pacific railway announced at Vancouver
Saturday. Not soul survived, according
to a Juneau wireless message, which
said the ship apparently was picked up
by the gale, hurled across Vanderbilt
reef in the Lynn canal, and sent to the
bottom in deep waters on the other side.
The vessel was bound southwark from
Skagway, Alaska, situated at the head
of the Lynn canal, which is an arm of
Chatham strait, extending northward
from the Pacific in the vicinity Of Ju-
neau. Alaska The canal, which is nat
ural body of water, is 100 miles long and
five to ten miles wide.
Nearly all those aboard the Princess
Sophia, it is believed at Seattle, were
Alaskans, who boarded the steamer at
Skagway after coming up the Yukon
river from the interior of the northern
territory. They left the river at White
Horse and went by train at Skagway.
The Sophia struck at 3 o'clock Thurs
day morning. It was at first thought
that she would float on the high tide
Thursday afternoon. Efforts in that di-
rection evidently failed, and the vessel
remained fast The government light
house tenders and a number of small
craft stood by the Serbia.

NEURALGIA is
THE CRY OF A
STARVED NERVE
If You Have Neuralgia Pains and Your
Blood Is Thin Try Building
Up the Blood.

The one symptom of neuralgia is pain.
just before the pain there may be I'M
easy sensations, perhaps tingling in
the affected part The pain Of neuralgia
| is not constant. 1t recurs at intervals
and then subsidies.
Particularly in the case of persons hav-
ing a tendency to anemia, or lack Of
blood, neuralgia is due to the failure Of
| the blood to carry nourishment to a
nerve. 1t is due TO malnutrition, nerve
starvation and the pain of neuralgia has
4 been described by an eminent scientist
as the "cry of nerve for food" The
most direct way to correct neuralgia is
| to build up the blood so that it can give
the nerves the elements they need.
| Mrs. Charles Hendry, Of No. 1895
Adams avenue, Scranton, Pa, the mother
Of fine family and herself the picture
of health, was sufferer from neuralgia
for number Of years.
"The pain would come on at certain
hours every day" says Mrs. Hendry, and
the muscles Of my face would swell. /
was nearly distracted with the pain.

ache and would be up night after night
tputting applications on my face. My
whole head was sore from the pain.
81 took DR.. Williams Pink Pills for
anemia when was a girl in my teens in
| Scotland and when one Of my friends
told me a few months ago that the pills
were good for neuralgia ! gave them a
trial. After ] had taken the pills a cou-
pie Of weeks didn't have so much pain
and the periods between the attacks were
of shorter duration. This was so en-
couraging that took the pills for three
months and / haven't had an attack
since.
Il am grateful TO DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. | no longer have the neuralgia
pains, swelling of the face, nor headache
and can go to bed now knowing that i
am going to get good nights sleep"
More disturbances to health are caused
by thin blood than you have any idea Of,
When the blood is impoverished the
nerves suffer from lack Of nourishment
and you may have insomnia, neuritis,
neuralgia or sciatica. Muscles subject to
strain are undernourished and you may
have muscular rheumatism or lumbago.
| If your blood is thin and you begin to
show symptoms of these disorders try
building up the blood with DR.. Williams
Pink Pills and see if the symptoms do
not disappear as the blood is restored to
normal.

SLATE DUST
PARTIAL CAUSE
Of Development Of Pneumo-
MIA Developing from
Influenza
DR.. B. H. STONE FOUND
IN CASTLETON CASES
Autopsies Performed and a
Report Made to Atty
Gen. Barber

Brattleboro, Oct %. That the pres
ence of stone dust in the lungs was a
subsidiary exciting cause of pneumonia
which caused the deaths of three EN-
ployes of the Staso Milling Co. of Cas-
tleton, upon whose bodies autopsies were
performed recently, is the opinion Of DR.,
B. H. Stone of Burlington as expressed
in report to Attorney General Fl. G..
Barber of this town.
The company, which operates a slate
stone grinding mill, lost several en-
ployes by death, pneumonia following
influenza, and ii was thought possible
that something about their occupation
fastened their deaths. so autopsies were
authorized and were performed on Ar
thur Lindstron, Robert johnson and
Quat Ost.
Much stone dust was found in the
lungs, but there was no arsenic in the
dust. DIR. Stone says in his closing par
agraph:
while there is no direct evidence
from the autopsy that this pneumonia
would not have followed the influenza
infection as it did without the presence
of the dust, it can hardly be doubted
that such an amount Of foreign matter
acted as subsidiary exciting cause"
