Blood
Withers The
Body
Workers Sick and Weak from EXcr
ton Take Guides Pepto- -Mansan

Men and women who toll, either
physically or mentally, use up energy.
When they overwork they use up
more energy, and sometimes the blood
gets in a rundown condition. With
out rest the blood cannot get back to
normal, so that it becomes clogged
with waste matter from over eXertion.
The clogged blood virtually withers
the body. The strained looks on pale
faces, the thin, bloodless arms, the
sunken cheeks and necks, the dead
tired feeling, are the results of stale
blood depriving the system Of life
giving oxygen.
Workers go to the drug store and
get GUIDES Pepto-Mangan when they
feel weak and run down. They take
it in either the liquid or the tablet
form. That makes the blood rich
and red and drives out the poisons
Life-giving oxygen, carried by the
little red cells, renews the strength
and builds up the entire system. Look
for the name "Gude's Pepto- -Mangan"
on the package. Advertisement.

At first thought. this seems TO be
a very simple subject. but when 7
hear Of SO many failures and poor
matches / find upon inquiry that very
few people know how to set the hen,
or II they do, they very seldom fol-
low the best methods.
Tho first essential in starting in
the business Is TO purchase eggs OF
some good reliable breeder who
mates nothing but strong vigorous
birds. Place your order for the
eggs but do not have them shipped
until you are certain you Will have
q broody hen when they arrive.
When tho eggs arrive, do not place
them under tho hen ut once, but
place them IN a cool. dry place and
do not disturb them for "a hours.
A day or two before you expect
the eggs to arrive, arrange a place
to set the hen. Whenever hen Is
allowed to steal hcr nest away. she
usually selects a cool, damp place,
away from the flock. so she will not
be disturbed. These conditions should
