"EatOnic Worth

Writes Mrs. E. L. Griffin from her
home in Franklin, N. II. '''I feel like
a new person. Stomach feels fine af-
ter eating-all from taking your Won
derful eatonic. It's worth its weight,
in gold"
Millions of sufferers from sour, acid,
gassy stomachs, heartburn, Indigestion
bloating, full feeling after eating,
should try eatonic. Just try it-thats
all, and get relief, new life, strength
and pep. 1t produces quick, sure and
safe results, because eatonic takes up
the harmful acids and poisons and
carries them right out of the body.
OF course, when the cause is removed,
the sufferer gets well-quick!
The cost is a trifle. Your druggist
will supply eatonie, SO, if you want
better health, all you need do is-try
it TO-DAY. You will surely feel big
benefits at once. Adv.

REDS CONCENTRATE

MAY LAUNCH ANOTHER
DRIVE.
POLES CAPTURE MANY TOWNS
Nine Attacks Made in the Region OF

Losses-More Than 1000 Pris-
oners Were Captured.

Warsaw.-Soviet troops are report
ed concentrating in great numbers
along the Beresina river, where the
great offensive against Warsaw was
begun, and military observers here
are speculating as to the possibility
of an attack against the central Pol
ish front. 1t is believed possible the
Bolsheviki may make a stand if the
Poles continue their pursuit OF the
retreating Soviet armies eastward
from the Bug river on the south and
Grodno on the north.
Reports received here. late today
continued to tell of Polish forces
closely pursuing the retiring Bolshe
Wiki on various fronts.
Remnants of the Fourth Bolshevik
army, whicn were cut off by the Pol
ish advance in the region OF Kolno,
have cut their way through to the
eastward after a battle lasting ten
hours, according to an official state
ment here The Soviet troops carried
out a regrouping maneuver and got
out of the trap which had been closed
on them.
The Fifth Polish army continues
rounding up detachments of Bolshe-
Wiki west of the railroad from Modlin
to Mla9a.
On the central front the Poles have
carried out a fianking movement tc
the north and have. occupied Knyszynr
Is miles northwest of Bialystok, and
Stawiski, IL miles northeast Of Lomza.
Occupation of these towns, with the
capture Of Kolno, completes the work
of forging a ring around the Fifteenth
Bolshevik army. Other Soviet forces
have reassembled at various places
and are making repeated attacks in
their attempts to break the Polish
cordous. a
Nine attacks were made in the re
gion of Kolno, but all were repulsed
with enormous losses. Among the
captives is the commander of a Boil
shevik division. In the maneuve1
which resulted in the occupation OF
Lomza, the Poles took more than 2,00C
| prisoners and nine guns.
There was street fighting in Bialy
stok for more than IA hours before
| the Bolsheviki were ousted. Reports
from the War Department say the 55th
Bolshevik Division has been called
from Grodno to attempt to drive the
Poles out Of Bialystok. In the neigh
borhood of that city more than 1000
prisoners and Is. guns were taken by
the Poles. Polish successes in the
neighborhood of Lemberg are re
ported.

CAREFUL HANDLING OF MILK
All Vessels Should Be Freshly Scaided
to Remove Bacteria-CoVer Will

No matter how we'll milk has been
handled up to the time it is delivered
to the consumer, it cannot be expected
to keep well if it is carelessly treated
thereafter. 1t should be poured into
pitcher, pan. or other vessel-freshly
scalded to remove any bacteria or mold
-spores-and kept in cool, clean
place free from dirt flies, etc. New
milk should never be mixed with old,
unless it is used at once, as the bac-
terra In the old milk will, of course,
be added also, and the mixed milk will
not keep as well as the fresh milk
alone.
Bacteria are thickest where there is
dirt and decay, and milk should there
fore be stored only in clean, sweet
places. 1t is safer to keep it covered,
to exclude not only dirt and bacteria,
but also the fiavOrs and odOrs which
1t so easily absOrbs. If kept at a
temperature of 30 degrees Fahrenheit
or less, good milk should remain sweet

II makes little difference what ma

as the silo is practically air tight all
around the walls and bottom. Wood,
cement, tile, iron, and plaster silos
have been used with success. Protec-
ton against mold is largely dependent
upon the exclusion of air, and for this
purpose an alright wall is required
and the ensiled material should be
properly packed in the silo. Silage will
keep equally well in any one of the
silos mentioned provided the walls are
properly made, are air and moisture
