too hard, for there is one thing you can
feel proud Of is, he was doing his duty
and he gave his slife for noble cause
l hope you will write often to me for you
can t realize how lonesome it will be for
me, for he was more than a brother to
me; he was like a father. Anything he
had was mine and it is an awful blow to
me and there are some more in the same
fix as am. Hank was with him he met
the same fate. Now, mother, don't
worry about me now, for | an getting
along fine and have the best Of care

wounded or is sick. Well, can't think
Of any more this time, but don't worry,

KILLED in WRECK
Nine Men Victims of Collision in
Burlington Tunnel Wreck.

Nine railroad men were XII lied in
the tunnel in the northeastern Sec
ton of the city of Burlington, June
5th, when the train over the Burling-
ton and Lamoille division collided
with a wild engine.
Those of the engine crews who
were not killed by the impact were
imprisoned in the tunnel and
scalded to death by escaping steam.
The bodies of the victims were
not recovered for hours. An actey-
lene torch was used to cut away
the wreckage so that the bodie
could be reached.

of the growing strength of democracy
are to be found in the increasing i'm :
Fortance of the temperance move
ment, social evil crusades and our
general recognition of social respon-
sbility, not only in our own cities at
home, but in the foreign mission
fields, and all over the world.

thronement of Christian ideals. 9th

Autocracy, militarism, might makes

trines are doomed, and I believe that

Of democracy that would seem in

PREVENT HOG CHOLERA

The B. A. Thomas Hog Powder has
record of 95 per cent cures of hog
cholera If you feed your hogs as di-
rected, you need never fear hog chol-
era nor any other hog disease. And
the directions are very simple, just
about what you are doing, plus few
cents worth of B. A. Thomas Hog Pow
der in the feed twice a week.
Usually, though, Cholera gets in be-
fore 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. Ii you don't the B..

GEORGIA WILL RATlFY
PROHIBITION AMENDMENT

ATLANTA, Ca, Jan. 2.-That the
Geogria legislature will ratify the pro-
hibition amendment to the federal con-
stitution when it come before the law
makers of this state for their vote is
accepted by political observers here as
foregone conclusion.
Assuming that the twenty-seven
states which have voted for statewide
prohibition will ratify the an endment
this leaves only nine more states, out
of the remaining twenty-five, in order
to secure the needed ratification by
thirty-six state legislatures
William ]. Bryan, in signed article
just published predicts that the feder-
al amedment will be ratified by thirty
six state legislatures in the next three
years He takes it for granted that
the legislatures of the twenty-seven
dry states will ratify the amndment
James A. Christian, superintendent
of the Georgia Anti-Saloon League, de-
clares that the fight to pass the feder
al amendment Is the finish fight be
tween the forces of prohibition versus
the forces of liquor.
"The liquor interest know that they
are making theit last stand" he dc.
ciared yesterday. "Tney will spend
money like wate4 to prevent the fed
eral amedment from being ratified by
thirty-six state legislatures. But their
money will not save the day for whis-
key. -.

IN THE LAND O.
COMMON SENSE
Saws it is suicide to cut corns,
and tells how they lift
right out

o ,O.a. a0.o
You SIMPLY say to the drug store
man, "Give me quarter of an ounce OF
freezone." This will cost very little but
is sufficient to remove every hard or soft
corn from ones feet
A few drops applied directly upon
tender, aching corn should relieve the
soreness instantly, and soon the entire
corn. root and all, can be lifted out with
the fingers without pain.
This new way to rid one $ feet of corns
was introduced by Cincinnati man, who
says that while freezone is sticky it dries
in a moment, and seems to simply shrlvel
up the corn without infamins or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or skin
Don't let father die from infection or
lockiaw from whiting at his corns, but
cut this out and make him try it.
