Mr.. Spencer F. Thomas, Brownsville,
Tennessee.
My Dear Friend-While our hearts
ache that our boy will not return to us
there is no regret that he did his duty
even to the limit.
He went in the full faith of the right
eousness of his cause, and in the full
faith of the love and wisdom of our
Heavenly Father.
He went to fight, and knowing him
IS we did we knew just where he
would always be when the fighting
was going on. We are glad that he
was allowed to fall with his face to
the foe, and at a time success was
browning his efforts. The kind words
and the fact that our friends remind
Us at this time that their love ano
sympathy is with us brings to US aeon.

He will rest in peace, even though SC

have done less.
That you and your good wife may
not be called upon to bear like scr.

PROTECT YOUR CATTLE
AGAINST BLACKLEG

Every county in the state has GER
tain percentage of losses among cat
tie every year from blackleg. Since
these losses occur principally in the
spring, summer and early fall, it is
essential that our farmers take imme-
date steps toward combating the dis
ease, so as to protect their cattle
against further losses. The following
facts and suggestions are offered:
1-Blackleg is highly fatal infec-
tious disease among cattle.
PIT affects cattle as a rule that
are from months to 3 years of age,
although cattle of any age may be af-
fected.
3-The disease is spread through
the distribution of parts of carcasses
from cattle which have died or black
leg.
4-Tennessee regulations require
that the carcasses of all animals dying
from blackleg must be completely
burned.
5-If blackleg does or has appeared
in your community, vaccinaie your
cattle before turning them on pasture
elf you yaccinate your cattle be
The states-graphic. (Brownsville, Tenn.) 1???-1984, 1918-09-20

all ages.
When using pellet or powdered
vaccine, treatment should be given at
least twice year, and in badly in
fected localities, retreating in three
or four months is advisable
8-The liquid blackleg vaccnes, in
GLIDING Blackleg Filtrate, Aggressins,
etc., are preferable to the pellet or
powder forms producing more lasting
immunity and will protect the animal
at least year
9-Liquid blackleg vaccines are
given under the skin in the side of the
neck or behind the shoulder with a
veterinary hypodermic or the regular
hog cholera virus syringe
10-It is always best to keep sus-
ceptible cattle off of fields on which
blackleg has occurred until II to IA
days after vaccination, so that immu-
nifty may be established before the an
imal is exposed.
Show your patriotism by helping US
to control and eradicate blackleg, there
by increasing our food supply-M. ia

There's Nothing the Kaiser
Ever Made That Uncle Sam
Can't Make Better

In the days before the great war
Germany set the worlds quality
standard for optical glass.
When the big fight started, flint
glass, among other things, was cut
off.
Flint glass is the quality of glass
that is used in the manufacture of
the highest grade optical instru-
ments, such as field glasses, range
finders and periscopes-also in Kryp-
toks. the invisible bifocals.
1t wasn't that we couldn't make
just as good-we hadn't been put to
the test. Our neighbors were al
ready in the market. To buy their
flint glass for optical-instrumen
manufacturing was the line of least
commercial resistance. 1t was ready
made" and to be had for the ask
ing" so to speak.
But then came the break, The
supply of flint with other things was
cut off. Necessity put American
pluck, American genius and Ameri-
can dollars to the test. And now.
today. the American instinct for self
initiative has developed a most ire
mendous power behind the economic
fywheel of America.
Since August 1914. American
manufacturing opticians have been
working with American glass manu-
facturers for the development Of the
optical-glass industry in the United
States.
No one knows better than the opti-
cal man what a difficult task this has
been. Processes that have taken
Germany century to develop have
been mastered in a period of months.
Prior to the war America had never
produced ingredients such as lead
oxide, etc. sufficiently pure. for use
in the manufacture Of flint optical
glass.
And to add to the other perplexi-
ties, kryptok wearers of the country.

such conditions was a patriotic duty.
very naturally became FESTIVE when
their wants were not filled at a mo-

Notwithstanding all these Difficult
ties, the making of American flint

And Just as kryptoks. the invisible

The war has thrown eyeglass pro-

Tho kryptok Company has an
