SAYS BREED SKUNKS FOR FUR
United States Department of Agricul-
ture Calls Beast Friend
of Farmer.

Washington. - Breeding of skunks
as a means of stabilizing the "de-
pressed fur market is the latest sug-
gestion of the Department of Agricul-
ture.
Despite all the harsh things that
have been said about this lowly animal
the department describes him as 'the
best wild animal friend the farmer
has" The skunk, the announcement
says, can be used for destroying mice,
grasshoppers, crickets and white grubs,
at the same time furnishing the farmer
from $50 TO $1UU worth of fur a year.
All that is required of the farmer,
the circular says, is that he respect
the animals dens, keep his poultry in
skunk-proof yards, kill an old horse for
them every fall and be tactful when he
meets them in the evening"

WE BUILT Up OUR CHILDREN

time remedies failed to stop the cough,
and they grew weaker and wOrse-iook-

out of barks and leaves. but still they
coughed. We at first thought the
cough would wear away, but us weeks
and weeks went by we became
alarmed. Every fresh cold aggravated
il. We finally heard about Earies
Hypo-Cod and got il at the drug store
Results were wonderful 1t stopped
the cough in no time, and you could
see it building them up day by day.
Their appetities came back fine and
then they began sleeping good Then
they wanted to play and r0mp and now
you can see yourself what happy.
healthy children they are. They look
so much better If we had only known
about Earle's Hypo-Cod before we did
we could have saved the children a lot
of suffering. So | praise this tonic to
a blessing in our home"
Note These same children were
given Hypo-COd as a fall tonic early
last winter. They went through the
whole winter long without a cold or
cough. Thousands of mothers, once
they learn about Hypo-Cod, built up
their family just as regular as the sea-
sons roll around and ward off all kinds
of sickness with it. Children love to
take this splendid tonic, and by read
ing the formula on bottle you will see
that it contains an excellent combina-

BANGS MAKES OBSERVATIONS

New York-Bolshevism will never

French is kept high while the people

John Kendrick Bangs 1t is better

two trips of inspection through the
regions which remain almost as
wrecked and desolated as the Ger
mans left them, he declares the work
done by the American Committee for
Devastated France to be most import
tant in steadying the population dur

Bolshevism is being reared every

sorts of compromises with conscience,

standards of any sort by which the

cost of the navy ration, which rose to
an average of 705 cents, as compared
with 65.7 cents in 1919 and prewar
average of around 81 cents.
Admiral MCGOWAN asserted that
final figures showed that the navy
subsisted 100000 troops en- route to
France and 100000 returning troops
In connection with the wartime work
of the subsistence branch, he said:
'Despite the scarcity of certain ar
ticles of food and the constant and
persistent pressure from outside,
amounting in effect to actual propa-
gaHda, for relaxation of the rigidity
of the navy's specifications, especially
on meats, no such thing was done
and the standard Of subsistence was
never lowered"
