DIR, ALI GATES MAKES 1000
PER CENT ON AN INVEST
MENT.

Making 1000 per cent on an in
vestment is going some. You will
agree with us. won't your
Well, that's just what citizen
Of Hammond made and he made
it in less than ten days. Here &
the story hard boiled:
DR.. ALI Gates, the popular am.
putator of legs and arms and
writer Of prescriptions to kill
germs and stop fevers, attended
the sale of fine hogs recently
pulled off at the fair grounds by
VIM. H. Houlton. One especially
fine-looking female hog struck the
eye Of the doctor, so he decided
to invest few dollars, realizing
that he was getting his money S
worth. Three or four days after
the sale, the purchase of DR..
Gates found ten beautiful lit
tie pigs, all as frisky as they can
be and round as butter balls.
Figure it out yourself. A div
idend of 1000 per cent in less
than a week. Fine investment,
did you sayi Well, we guess yes.

Cure for Dysentery.

While I was in Ashland. Kan
sas. a gentleman overheard mt
speaking Of Chamberlain's Colit
and Diarrhoea Remedy" writes
William Whitelaw, of Des Moines
Iowa. "He told me in detail Of
what it had done for his family,
but more especially his daughter
who was lying at the point Of
death with a violent attack of
dysentery, and had been given up
by the family physician. Some Of
his neighbors advised him to give
Chamherlain's Collie and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. which he did, and
fully believes that by doing so
saved the life Of his child. He
stated that he had also used this
remedy himself with equally
gratifying results"

u. s. FABRIC TIRES STILL
GREAT FAVORITIES.

The advent Of cord construction
in automobile tires has made pos
sible the manufacture of tires
which give astounding mileages
yet there are many automobile
owners who have found so great
a degree Of satisfaction in some
favorite brand Of fabric tire. that
they are loath to change to the
new type.
The United States Tire Com.
pany reports sales of its fabric
brands that show these tires are
continually gaining favor among
motorists who want good tires at
a moderate initial cost.
President j. Newton Gum of
the United States Tire Company
has received this letter from a
New Haven merchant, telling why
he remains firm in his allegiance
to the "Chain" tread:
81 think 2O,346 miles up to date
is a remarkable record for three
ont of set of five Of your 35 r
4 IL Chain tread tires. They
are still on my seven-passenger
car in serviceable condition, and
the car is used every day.
The full set of five tires was
put on my new car the first week
in March, 1915. The first of the
set went out of commission April
,, 1918, after running Is, 1913 miles.
The second blew out beyond re-
pair the month following, but the
three have been run
ming ever since. / have had few

THE PROFESSIONAL SOLDIER

The great legend of the ages to
be completely destroyed by the
war is the glittering legend Of the
professional soldier.
This war was fought, as was
bound to be the case, by the citi-
zen soldiers of the world. Pro.
fessional soldiers taught them. ii
is true, the technique of barracks
routine.
This is no depreciation Of the
professional soldier; he does his
part and does it well. But he is
inadequate except for police duty
and as tutor for a national army.
He is out Of the picture Of mod
ern conduct. The proof is in ev-
cry citizen soldier returning to
civil life in this country.
The viewpoint Of the profess
sional soldier is one Of warfare.
His interest is limited to the serv-
ice. His citizenship he measures
strictly by means Of defense and
offense. He is member Of q
limited autocracy which he will
perpetuate. The business side Of
the nation never touches him; cost,
upkeep, supplies, he judges only
by their sufficiency or insufficiency
for his particular needs, and
never traces them to their source,
which is the pocket Of the people.
He does not share the problems Of
citizenship in fair proportion with
his. non-military fellows.
How often does the professional
soldier say: 'sPoliticsf I have
none. I'm . soldier" Yet q Ger
tain amount Of politics is an es-
sential ingredient Of citizenship !
we are all stockholders in q great
nation. The professional soldier
considers his duty begins and
ends with the service; he is q
hired man-of- farms.
Now the citizen soldier Is q
soldier, too, but he Is also . citi-

THE FUTURE or CANE
FARMING.

Sugar cane farming in some one
of it's forms is becoming the prac.
teal basis of our whole modern
sugar cane industry. The old.
fashioned sugar planter, with his
large plantation and his own su.
gar-house has almost passed from
the scene even here in Louisiana,
and the chief dependence now is
placed upon the so called tenants,
who produce sugar cane on the
property Of the factory owners,
who may or may not aid them also
with financial assistance, or, as IN
Cuba, some very large independ-
ent colonos are producing sugar
cane on their own lands, doing
their own financing and yet must
sell their sugar cane to some one
Of the great central factories. In
Cuba there is sufficient competi-
ton among the sugar factories to
lead them to give a very full price
to the sugar cane growers or
colonos for their sugar cane.
Where the industry is less adj
vanced the sugar factories pro-
ducing oil or large part Of the
sugar cane that they grind. the
cane farming has not yet presen-
ted itself with the degree Of urg-
ency that has been felt elsewhere.
