is longer than if the chicks were hatch ed late,- says Mir Lansden. Ut is dur ing this period of spring and summer that the chicks should make their best growth, and when bullets should ma ture and get ready to lay eggs. The earlier the matching. therefore, the longer the growing skdson for the young stock and the better chance they have to make full growth and reach ma turity before the cold weather sets in. A long growing season is especial ly important with the larger breed, such as Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, K. I. Reds and Orqingtons. which are commonly kept on general farm.
 The feeling of security that the pro- gressive farmer and live poultrymen has when he is closing the coop for the night at this season of the year. in knowing that he has matched about all the chicks out that he can properly take care of, and from now on he can give his full time to further important farm projects, is most re-assuring. He knows that Early Matching pays. This Early Hatch" campaign is only one of the many features of good pOul- try raising, but it is the foundation

WHAT IS TANLAC:

Tanlac was investigated several years ago by the Board of Health of the City of Cleveland. Ohio, and a bulletin of that Board of Health stated that Tan lac is a booze" medicine, that Is, one containing no ingredients which would hinder it's use as a beverage. The bull lesin said that Tanlac would do nothing for any one that glass of whisky and laxative would not do.
 In October. 1918, the Canadian Gov ernment published a bulletin on patent medicines in which Tanlac is listed as available as a beverage"
 The Internal Revenue Department of the U. S. Government has been rather easy on these beverages which pass as medicines. It vii be remembered that Peruna was classed some years ago as a preparation which could be utilized for beverage use, and the manufacture assured the public that "at the request of friends of Peruna" he had added a laxative to his valuable medicine. The laxative was said by the North Dakota Board of Health to be senna Certain ly the additiondid not make the med icine taste very disagreeable. And the thirsty do not mind the laxative if the taste suits. So, notwithstanding all that has been done to bring pressure upon the authorities to stop the sale of Tanlac and other beverage medi- cines the sale has gone on with slight additions of drugs to appease the in vestigators.
 Women who want a medicine that Is of service should consult the very best physician available. and not waste mon ey and time on such things as Tanlac.
 One testimonial saying that the wo- man had recovered through Tanlac was from woman who had cancer and did not know what she was. signing when the agent presented written tes timonial for her to sign Martha M. Allen. National Superintendent of Med ical Temperance.
