Put this in the drinking water.

Most people lose half Of every hatch.
and seem to expect It. Chick cholera
or white diarrhoea is the trouble. The
U. 8. government states that over half
the chicks Matched die from this cause.
An Avicol tablet, placed in the drink
ing water, will positively save your lit
tie chicks from all such diseases. In
side of 48 hours the sick ones will be as
lively as crickets. Avicol will keep
them healthy and make them grow and
develop more rapidly.

THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
Philip H., of Spain,
IS 1T YOURS7
MAY 81. 1927

Philip H.. of Spain, has been called
by frivolous minded persons the father
of red tape. 1t was he who loved to
read and write, and especially to draft
long and minute reports Of things. He
liked long discussions and dotted on
committee meetings. OF course he set
the style for such things. Some time
later the Spanish administration was
fairly choked by this sort Of detail
work.
Philip H., was q comparatively able
man who was spoiled by being king.
He was told he could not do wrong,
consequently. being convinced that he
was automatically right in everything.
he rarely took advice. attempted to
direct everything of large or small i'm
once formulated.
His father, the Emperor Charles,
had left him the Netherlands which
never wanted to belong to Spain. He
married Mary, of England. and brought
that country to his side. He had a
claim on the crown of Portugal and
inheritances in italy and several other
parts of Europe, as well as possessions
In America Truly vast and scat
tered kingdom-but Mary died and
England found her sympathies to lay
with France, rather than Spain. The
Netherlands rebelled. The various
wars which followed resolved them
selves into fight between Protest
antism and Catholicism, with Philip
supporting the pope. It never occurred
to the king that a nation could differ
religiously and still be good nation.
He started an insane political policy
which began to bring Spain to it's ruin.
And he died piously when he was II,
believing himself always in the right.

To give some idea of how small. let
US put it this way: Surprising you
could multiply the atoms in cubic
foot of air so that they were big
enough to see with the naked eye. then
let them pass at the rate of so a
minute, 1t would be only once in three
months that a helium atom would
come by.
Yet helium Is plentiful enough In
the upper layers Of the atmosphere
We know that because the flashes
made by meteors as they enter the
earth's atmosphere give the spectrum
of helium when watched thru a
spectroscope. We know, in the same
way, that the atmosphere OF the sun
is chiefly composed of hydrogen and
helium.
The Americans have discovered a
method Of making helium gas in large
quantities, and they propose to use it
for the purpose of filing the great gas
bags Of their enormous new dirig.bles
An airship filled with helium would
be safe from any inflammable bullet
or other fiery device. For, unlike
hydrogen or coal gas, it will neither
burn nor explode.

Another flag incident which young
Speers seems to regard with more
pride, has more of IA personal flavor.
II was as follows: Shortly after his
arrival in France his family here sent
him small 2Hx4 bunting American
flag to carry on his car. and it has
been all thru the war with him. AS
a special mark of favor, he and his
unit were summoned before Marshall

this souvenir is the most highly priced

him. After the armistice, it was car
