of the barnyard had stopped to listen
to Mr.. ROSTERS JOKE.
.'Well,' said Mr.. Rooster, "a hen
merry is a place for hens. And I
wouldn't like to belong to hennery.
What's the joke in that?" asked
Mrs. White Hen. IT consider it very
rude speech and not in the least fun
n.y.
II don't mean to be rude" said Mr..
Rooster, "for / think all the Mrs. Hens
are quite charming and I am always
glad to pull up worms for them and
give them goodies to eat. No one can
say I'm not nice, polite rooster"
"That Is So" agreed Mrs. White
Hen.
what I meant was that / wouldn't
like to be without some of my rooster
friends. No Mr.. Rooster would like
to be without other rooster playmates,
any more than boy would like to be
without other boy playmates."
'Now that see it your way I under
stand you didn't mean to be rude"
said Mrs. White Hen. But what was
the joke? Where was it hidden?"
"Oh, the joke was that you didn't
know what hennery was and you are
hen!" said Mr.. Rooster.
'sWell, that was quite funny" said
Mrs. White Hen.
That's about all think of it now"
said Mr.. Rooster, ''for it is as you say,
a joke is not so much of joke when
thought about too much as rule.
But / didn't mean to be rude and so
hoped you would not misunderstood
me-"
I'm not angry, nor am hurt,
cackled Mrs. White Hen pleasantly.

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making Of this great
medicine for woman s ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is steriized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
In sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment Of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

Because of tnis same trench life,
howevss, the use of the Red Cross
dog has become less important. In
war of movement the dog who could
find wounded men, trot back with
some article of clothing. and then
guide help to the disabled soldier, was
useful; but in tais stationary warfare
there is not, as rule, this need for
search for wounded in out-of-the-Way
places.

Stomach
Ruins Health
Of Millions

Besides those painful attacks of in
digestion: that awful blOated, lumpy
feeling after eating and downright
stomach misery that you who have
experienced it know so we'll besides
disgusting belching, food-repeating,
sour stomach and distressing heartburn
besides all this, ACID-STOMACH
undermines the health and saps the
strength of millions.
If you don't get rid of those stomach
miSeries there is no telling where your
stomach troubles will end, for it is
we'll known scientific fact that many
serious ailments have their start in an
acid-stomach.
Start noW-tfis very day to get ridof
your stomach miseries -take EATONIC
the wonderful remedy that absorbs
the excess acid from the stomach and
brings INSTANT relief. You simply
have no idea how much better, stronger
and brighter you feel at once. 1t drives
out all the gas and bloat, puts an inn
mediate stop to belching and heartburn,
ends stomach suffering and makes it
cool, sweet, comfortable and strong.
There can be no further excuse for
you to allow acid-stOmach to wreck
your health-pile up misery upon mis-
cry until you get to the point where
you feel down and out and that life has
lost all it's joys. Remember, just as
acid-mouth ruins teeth, so acid-stomach
ruins health.
Take EATONIC. It's good, just like
a bit of candy and makes the stomach
feel fine. You can then eat the things
you like and, what is more, every
mouthfuI you eat will count in creating
power and energy. You'll feel so much
better have punch and pep the power
and will to do things and get results,
and your stomach misery will be gone.
Take our advice. Get big box of
EATONIC from your druggist today,
it costs so little. If it fails to remove
your stomach distress, he will refund
your money. That is guaranteed. you
are to be satisfied or money refunded.

Judgment was fair and given only a

the governor, that this was perfect
ly just and reasonable attitude under
the old system when a states quota

lation but now when states quota
is determined according to the num-
Der of men in Glass l. this manifestly
becomes a hardship.
AS a result Of this letter and tele-
gram Gov. Milliken felt tffat now
there was an opportunity for uni

suggested that the conference pro-

Today's startling news dispatches
dealing with conditions in Russia
made no change in the plans already
formulated. Reestablishment of busi-
ness order is believed to be the best
method of establishing Russian
themselves.
The reported fall Of tie Bolshevik
government was regarded by some
officials as being directly precipl-
tated by the reported assassination
of former Car Nicholas. Official dis
