When you feel you are too

take to your bed all worn-out,
just telephone down to the drug
store and let a boy bring you out
a bottle of this remarkable prep
aration of the nationally known
Earle Chemical Co., Wheeling,
W. Va. 1t is simply astounding
what it did for thousands of
people stricken with the 'Flu."
It seemed almost beyond belief.
Whole families took it to fortify
themselves against attack dur
ing the epidemic and went scot
free while families were stricken
all around them.
AS a Spring tonic nothing

Finally after a glorious fight
she began getting better and
overcame the sickness she was
taken down with, but, OH! how
weak and thin and rundown she
was. It seemed like at times it
would be utterly impossible to
build her UP again, but we asked
the doctor about Earle's Hypo-
Cod, and he said Fine! So we
telephoned down to the drug
store and got a bottle, sent out
to the house. 1t surely has
benefited her. She is getting
stronger every day. She eats
good once more and it certainly
does my heart good to see her
walking about the house almost
as strong and robust looking as
though she had never been sick.

THOSE HENRY FORD LETTERS

Of gossip around Detroit. It was in

plant the men were sharpening tools
and putting the machines already
there into the best Of trim. When the
plant started again It was turning
out even . better tractor ut . reduc-
ton Of 500 in price. That Is typical
Of Henry Ford's way Of doing things.
o. J. Watson OF Wichita Vas about
the plant yesterday. He handles the
tractors for the state Of Kansas.
H had his order in for $40 car
roads Of tractors fseven tractors to the

larger portion of the output than was
being sent to him.
Kansas has 100000 acres OF
wheat running about 81 bushels to
the acre and the farmers will get 81
a bushel," he said These tractors
are nearly all ordered by farmers
and needed badly" Mr.. Watson buys
them outright from the Tractor com

Give Her an Audience.

Mrs. j. Olson, of Oklahoma. who
says she is willing to give a home to
minnie Allen, 81, mute and inmate
OF the Topeka Orphans home, claims
that she has been denied an audience
with the girl by the matron of the
nome. Mrs. Olson has placed the
matter in the hands of L. d. McKeev-
er' a Topeka attorney. who is waiting
TO ascertain what action the board of
directors in the home take at a meet
ing Monday before he enters any more
than an informal complaint.
OFFICIALS of the, home today admit
ted that Mrs. Olson had been denied
an audience with the girl The rea-
son assigned for such action was that
Mrs. Olson must first sign a written
agreement to furnish the girl per-
manent home. If Minnie Allen. who
has been in the home since infancy,
would see and exchange notes with
Mrs. Olson at this time and then later
denied her great disa ppointment
would follow, it is claimed.
NJ officials seemed to be highly in
censed at the action of Mrs. Olson, who,
when denied an audience with the girl
she wished to make home for, is said
to have declared that slavery was put
out of business in this country years
ago"
Minnie Allen is one of the oldest
inmates of the home. She is known
by everyone who is acquainted with
the institution officials declare. She
has many visitors among Topeka resi-
dents, attends theaters and seems to
enjoy life at the home, it is declared.
