There are several Seasons why

There are times when men and
women cannot help losing strength.
They try to do too much or they
lose sleep or do not eat enough food
that nourisbes. Blood becomes
sluggish because poisons clog it.
Faces grow pale and pasty looking.
It is not long before nerves get UNI
strung.
The best way to start a change
for the better is to take a course Of
GUIDES Pepto- Mangan. 1t builds the
blood The weakness from a lack of
red cells in the blood is overcome.
Guides Pepto- Mangan sends fresh
supply Of red cells streaming through
the blood. Good blood, pure and
free from poisons, starts building
vigor and strength. Sleep is better,
appetite keener, so that the body be-
comes properly nourished. Druggists
have GUIDES Pepto- Mangan in both
liquid and tablet form. The name
"Gude's Pepto- Mangan" is on the

BETTER FEEDING AND CARE
WILL MAKE FALL PIGS PAY

Better feeding and housing of fall
pigs after weaving time are suggest
ed by animal husbandry at the Col
lege of Agriculture as two means
whereby the raising of the fall litter
may be made profitable on more
Kentucky farms. Liberal feeding of
tankage, skim milk or buttermilk at
this time of the year makes an excel
lent substitute for the beneficial ef-
fects of green pastures while the
quarters in which the animals are
housed should be dry, although they
need not be warm. A wet, chilled
pig is never a profitable producer Of
pork, the specialists say.
One ration which has given good
results at the college farm in fall pig
feeding is composed of so pounds of
corn, so pounds, of mddlings and 10
pounds of tankage. Another used
successfully is made up of 10 parts
of corn and one Of tankage. Fifty
pounds of corn, 80 pounds of ship
stuff and 10 pounds of tankage also
makes a good ration while eight
parts of corn and one part of soy
beans may be used for a fourth.
Each year many pigs die from
pneumonia contracted by their sleep
ing in wet houses where they are ex-
posed to draughts, the specialists de-
clare. This can be prevented by be-
ing sure that the roof to the house
is made waterproof and that no wa
ter is allowed to run into the house
from the outside ground. The floor
of the house may be raised by
throwing the dirt inside when ditch
ing around the outsise Of the house
to carry the water away.

Many farmers in Henderson coun-

rnE sEsr STORY rELLFa

Il
Memories mean much to us especi-
ally as we grow older and who is
there among us who does not count
the early home pictures treasured in
the back Of ones mind as its dear
est possession Can't you remem-
Der those happy joyous care-free
times when mother used to gather US
around her knee in the evening after
the days work was done and tell us
the most wonderful stories it has
ever been our privilege to heart
Many of us have studied the art Of
story telling since then and have lis
tened to the worlds greatest story
tellers, yet to US mother surpassed
them all.
We never knew what story she
was going to tell, that was always a
surprise, and how we did like to
guess which one was comingl Wasn't
it strange the very night brother
Jack did not wash his hands and
said he and Jim Thomas we're never
going to wash their hands again,
wasn't it strange that mother should
tell us the story of the Pig Brother9
Jack and Jim Thomas changed their
minds even before she had finished.
When Ruth Elizabeth told the most
impossible things mother always
'just happened to tell us wonder
fully imaginative fairy tale. And
every evening we had Mother Goose
rhymes for the baby, but I think we
older one enjoyed them as much as
the baby did Although we began
these rhymes before she could talk,
she used to laugh and clap her hands
when we would say them. Some
times we used to make up tunes and
sing them to her. Those we're very
happy times, come to think Of it, they
were the happiest have ever known.
When We went to the kindergarten
it seemed just like home because
there we heard the same stories mo-
Their had told us. And wasn't it fun
when the teacher allowed us to tell
them to the other children? In the
primary our first reading books con-
tanned so many of these stories we
knew and liked that we read it
through in no time.
Mother is gone now, but can shut
my eyes and see her in that old
rocker, and nearly every day of my
life something from those stories
she told comes to me. guess L
listened so intently and loved them
so much that they became part of
my life. And so to the end of time
for me mother will always be the
very best story teller in the world
