Congressman Hardy will Help Soldiers

Congressman Hardy will Help Soldiers
In an act of congress approved Feb
ruary %, 1919. it is provided that;
"Enlisted men honorably discharged
from the army. navy or marine corps
since Nov. II, 1918, shall receive five
cents per mile from the place of his
discharge to his actual bona fide home
or residence, or original muster into
the service at his option"
Soldiers
Due to controversy over the intent
of the law, soldiers have heretofore
received only three and one-half cents,
or have been paid only to place of
muster in. All such claims the War
Department is now prepared to ad-
just. To secure such settlement, the
soldier must send in his discharge pa
per or a copy thereof certified by the
nearest recruiting officer, and a sworn
application.
Any soldier in my district desiring to
present such claim may secure the
necessary blank at the office of The
Sparks or by writing me, and after it
is properly filled out may send it, to-
gether with his discharge papers, to
me at the address given below and /
will present them to the War Depart
ment and return the discharge paper
with the check Better send by reg
istered mail.

70 10 125 feet OF row with plants four
inches apart in the row; this depends.
however. upon the size Of the sets
Onion sets should be placed in a small

half inches unless the soil is eX-
tremely heavy. i'm which case they
should not be covered so deeply
Onion sets may be planted just as
early in the spring as the ground can
be cultivated. In all sections except
in the extreme northern part Of the
country, where the weather becomes
too cold. certain varieties may be plant
ted i'm the autumn and given slight
protection over winter
In q very small garden the onion
sets may be planted in bed three 20
four inches apart in each direction
BY this method all the work Of cultl-
waiting must be done by nauu or Win

difficult than where they are planted

have plenty Of air. Later the tops and
rotts can be trimmed off and the
onions stored IN a cool. dry place

THE MAKING or
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 sub
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 steriiized
and as a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
IN sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful coordination of
coots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in ii3 preparation
which has made this famous n edicine
so successful in the treatm Mt of
female ills.

Cake may be made with egg substi-

its ability to supply nutriment.

parents may be led into channels Of
Information and storing Of valuable
knowledge. The petty gossip that Is
heard at SO many tables Is not raising
the ideals Of the sensitive boy and girl.
Let the table talk be educative. 1t
will mean that some one must steer
the conversation. Some of our great
est men have learned to express them
selves by being nllowed to give their
opinions when there is discussion at
the table. Happy talk aids digestion;
avoid all unpleasant conversation and
correction, thus the food will have an
opportunity of doing its work In the
