FROM REMOTEST
 PARTS OF GLOBE
TanIaC Elements Come From Many Lands Far Away
 From Here.

The ingredients from which the cele- brated medicine Tanlac is made, come from remote sections of the earth, and are transported thousands of miles over land and sea to the great Tanlac Laboratories at Dayton, Ohio, and Walkersville, Canada.
 The Alps, Appenines, Pyrenees, Rus sian Asia, Brazil, West Indies, Rocky Mountains, Asia Minor, Persia, India, Mexico, Columbia and Peru are among the far away points from which the principal properties of this re- markable preparation are obtained.
 What is said to be the largest phar- maceutical laboratory in the United States has been completed at Dayton. Ohio, for the manufacture of Tanlac, which, according to recent reports, Is now having the largest sale of any medicine of it's kind in the world, over 20,00O000 bottles having been sold in six years.
 The new plant occupies 60,00O square feet of floor space and has a daily capacity of 5O,0OO bottles. Uni- form quality is guaranteed by series of careful inspections by expert chem ists from the time the roots, herbs. barks and flowers are received in their rough state from all parts of the globe, until their medicinal properties have been extracted by the most approved processes. The finished medicine is then bottled, labeled and shipped out to tens of thousands of druggists throughout the United States and Canada, to supply a demand never before equalled by this or any other medicine.
 Tanlac is sold by leading druggists advertisement.

TRACING WHlMS OF FASHION
Each Century Seems to Have Seen Some Change for Which Reason
 May Be Adduced.

In the Fifteenth century the waist line was discovered, and the pointed idea carried to extreme, says the New York Herald. The women wore tall pointed hats, pointed shoes, and points were introduced in every possible way. At this time the church was strongly in the ascendant and the models of the Madonna served as the inspiration for their costumes. AS these little models were carved from ivory tusks, the women followed the sacred model, and the curve of the tusk was also copied in their carriage, giving a sim liar tilt to the figure, recently called the debutante slOuch.
 The Sixteenth century brought in corsets, the heightened waistline and the introduction of the full skirt. It was in this period that Catherine de Medici brought in collars, and lace was used in women's costumes for the first time. In the Seventeenth century, known as the romantic period, the styles became very frivolous.

From experiments recorded in the bulletin, it has been found that chick ems, unlike turkeys, are readily sus- ceptible to infection with gapeworms only while they are young. They be- come less susceptible as they grow older. Adult chickens are seldom likely to spread infection, for in those in- stances in which gapewOrms develop In adult chickens the parasites are like ly to live only short time.
 Methods of Avoiding Loss.
 Losses from gapeworms can be greatly reduced, if not altogether avoided, according to the bulletin, by keeping young chickens on ground that has not been exposed to contain ination within at least a year by chickens with gapes or by turkeys, and by excluding turkeys from 1t dur ing it's occupancy by chickens. AS gapeworms appear rarely to occur in adult chickens, brood hens may be as- sociated with young chickens with little risk of infection. The simplest means of preventing or reducing losses from gapes appears to be the exclusion of turkeys from farms where chick, ems are raised.

PRESERVING SOIL MOISTURE
Pernlcious Practice of Permitting Wa ter to Escape From Soil Should
 Be Discouraged.

The practice that prevails in some Irrigation localities of letting the nat ural moisture escape from the soil, with the idea that more water can be applied when it Is needed, is most per nicious and should be discouraged, say specialists of the United States De pertinent of Agriculture. If the moist ure that gets into the ground in the form of precipitation or as irrigation water is retained by the soil it will en- able the soil organisms to act upon the plant foods, rendering them available for plant growth. There is a feeling of safety in having an unlimited sup ply of water for irrigation purposes, but 1t should be remembered that irri- gation costs money and labor; precipi- tation Is natures gift.

INCREASED AVERAGE
 OF PUREBRED SIRES
Progress in Better Sires-Bet-
 ter Stock" Campaign.
Altogether 431, ,139 Head of Domestic Animals and Fowls Have Been Enrolled by Owners-Great-
 est Activity in Ohio.

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture.)
 A noticeable increase in the number of purebred animals listed in the Bet ter Sires-Better Stock" campaign is the principal development during the first three months of 1921. The re- suit has been to raise the general av- craze of purebreds for the whole cam paign 11A per cent. Altogether 431,- 139 head of domestic animals and fowls have been enrolled by their owners.
 Of that number 22,605 are purebred sires and the remainder are females of various breeding, but all were bred to purebred males, according to the owners pledges. Although the num- Der of purebreds, as noted, increased noticeably, more scrubs also were listed than in any previous quarterly period, thus helping to accomplish one of the main objects of the campaign, which is to grade up inferior animals by the use of good purebred sires.
 The greatest activity during the current year, so far as enrollments are concerned, has occurred in Ohio, with Nebraska second. In justice to other states it may be added that sev- eral, from which only few pledges to use only purebred sires were re- ceived, have been active in other

Losses Can Be Greatly Reduced by Keeping Young Chickens on Ground That Has Not Been Exposed

 Turkeys are probably the natural hosts of the gapeworm-a serious pest among young chickens-and are an important factor in their spread. This has been demonstrated by a zoologist of the United States Department of Agriculture as the result of expert ments and other investigations carried on at Washington, D. C., and on farms in several localities in Maryland.
 During three winter seasons begin ming in December, 1916, a total of 635 chickens and 679 turkeys were ex-

PERSONAL VISIT TO MARKET
Grower Enabled to AcquaInt Himself With Distributors and Improve
 Marketing Practices.

Many times personal visit to the market will more than repay the ship per for the cost of the trip, says the United States Department of AgricuI- ture. Points that seem trivial to the producer often are very important to the dealer. Such visit enables the grower to acquaint himself personally with the distributors, to select trust worthy representatives, to learn the difficulties of the "man at the other end" and to improve his market. ing practices.

Wife Shot Dead. Man Near
Death in Farm Tragedy

HAGERSTowN, Md, May 10. -
The body OF Mrs. John Rhone was
found lying under a COW standing In
barn at a Fiddlers Grove farm
this morning by her son. George
Dahr, while nearby her husband
was lying near death.
Both had been shot in the head
and evidence is said to indicate
that the husband first shot his wife
as she was milking the COW and
then attempted suicide. Rhone is
not expected to recover. Mrs.
Rhone's brain had been pierced by
a bullet.
A 32-caliber revolver was found
by Sheriff Mayer partly concealed
under leaves nearby. Jealousy on
the part of the husband Is alleged
as the motive for the deed.
