ing her inquiry to the Board of
Public Welfare offices in tie city

Miss Bessie Wilson, who received

curing woman.
She asked T. H. Werlich, super
intendent and Frank Bandle, one of
the assistants, but neither was able
to solve the riddle.
Miss Wilson was about to give it
up in disgust when she asked the
woman to furnish further details of
her question. The woman said she
was serious, that she just could not
make her chickens behave.

Miss Wilson, bright light shining

and fasten> pieces of bacon to the
ends of the strings. The chickens

The woman expressed her thanks,
explaining that neighbor had been
complaining because her. chickens
invaded her garden patch.

Many people eat too much every

suffer more than any people in the
world from indigestion, biiousness

this distress could be avoided and
you'll never realize how true this is
until you become one of the several
million people of this country who
keep q box of Natures Remedy (NR

it whenever indigestion, biiOusneSs or

even the kidneys. Its purpose is to
promote vigorous and harmonious ac-

That is why the results which fol-

who first try it. The action while
