ASK YOUR NEIGHB0R

There is hardly a nelghborhood in
the United States where women can
not be found who have derived benefit
from Lydia T. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. For nearly fifty years this
botanic medicine has been overcoming
some Of the worst forms Of female Ills.
As one woman has been benefited by
its use she has told others who have
used it with the Same good results, so
the use Of this great medicine has
spread from shore to shore by the
recommendation Of those who have
found # good. Therefore. ask your
neighbor, let her tell you from expe-
rience the benefit which ailing women
derive from its use.-Advertisement

SHE SPANKS ERRlNG HUSBAND
He Acquiesces in the Punishment and
Declares They Get Along
Splendidly.

We have with us a married man who
admits that his wife spanks him when
ever he does serious wrong. They be-
gan their married career in a business
partnership and made money. When
the husband began to spend more tRan
his share and ran around nights the
wife on one occasion tied him face
downward to the bed and lashed him
to a frazzle with a strap. The hus-
band accepted the findings of his su-
preme court in good faith. He had his
lesson and admitted that it was com
ing to him. Now when he does any
thing to which the wife can honestly
take exception she takes him down
into the cellar and administers the
strap, says the Los Angeles Times.
The husband makes no attempt at
resistance. II is his medicine and he
takes it. He SAYS that he and wife
get along splendidiy together. Wheth-
er the lady ever gets spanked or not
the husband does not say. But he
does assert that the wife who spares
the rod may spoil the husband. If all
husbands lined up for a spanking
whenever they stayed out after mid
night or lost 81 at poker it would be
better all around. The husband would
prefer the strap to a tongue lashing
and the wife would feel better for the
| physical exertiOn.
When wives get together for GOSSIP
1t would be proud matter for converse
when one could boast that she had no
had occasion to spank her husband 70
six months. Also it would be easie
for husbands to avoid the temptation
of bOOtleggers and other vicious per
sons if they would take no chances o
; being spanked by an irate wife.

Chicks Adopted by Rooster.

A year-Old rooster belonging to ].
H. Hudson of Troy, Kan, had its crop
torn open by dogs. Evelyn Hudson,
the daughter, cleaned and washed the
crop thoroughly, sewed it up and put
the rooster in a coop where they put
the newly hatched chicks from the in
cubatOr. Mr.. Rooster was about two
weeks recovering from his injuries and
all the time was very friendly with
the chicks. When they were let out
in the yard he went with them "cluck-
ing" and taking care of them as would
any mother hen. He lowered them at
night and when they were grown
ceased his care.-TOpeka Capital.

George NJ. Pierce, real estate brOk
er of Wilmington, has announced that
he will make a test of the State in
come tax law feature requiring pay
ment of a SO filing fee. Mr.. Pierce

Income Tax Commissioner, charging
failure to make proper return for
State income tax purposes. The case
was set for hearing in Municipal
Court. Mr.. Pierce after Court said
he had offered to file his return and
pay his State income tax, but not the
SO filing fee; and it was refused be-
cause he would not pay the filing fee.
Mr.. Pierce says it is his intention to
have court test and decision as to
the legality of the filing fee provision

ROAD GRADER DEMONSTRATED
Exhibition of One Man Equipment is

Exhibition OF One Man Equipment IS
Viewed by State and Town Officials
An invocation in the method of
maintaining dirt roads was demon
strated to State and town officials
of Dover Wednesday by |. J. Windsor
of Bucyrus, Ohio, when he operated
road grader of which he is the inven-
tor. Another demonstration was Civ
en- to the County officials Thursday af-
ternOon when the machine was used
on the dirt shoulders along the con-
crete highways near Dover.
The machine is built with a tractor
for the purpose of providing the pull
ing power and can easily be operated
by one man. 1t will travel over the
road at about fifteen miles per hour
while it is working on the road. Two
or three men are required to operate
the machines that are now being used
to grade the roads.
For the purpose of demonstrating it
Wednesday, a street was selected in
the town on which no grading had
been done for a long time with the
result that the areaway for traffic had
narrowed down to a small lane. Mr..
Windsor operated the machine him
self and in about forty minutes had
opened the street to a width of about
fifty feet with a slope to the cutters
on each side. The demonstration was
witnessed by Chief Engineer c. D.
Buck of the State Highway Depart
ment, Mayor John C. Hopkins and
Councilmen w. Denney Clements and
Thomas Clark of Dover.
After watching the machine in op-
Grafton, Mr.. Buck stated that he con-
sidered it very practical. In addition
to work in grading, the machine car
be used for street sweeping purpose:
and to remove snow. A number O.
Pennsylvania officials visited Dove
during the day to witness the demon
stratiOn.

We are advised to dress warmly,
keep the feet dry, avoid exposure, and
above all, drink plenty of good water
and avoid eating sweets of all kind.
rheumatism is caused by body
waste and acids resulting from food
fermentation. 1t is the function of
the kidneys to filter this poison from
the blood and cast it out in the urine;
the pores of the skin are also a means
of freeing the blood of this impurity.
In damp and chilly cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing
the kidneys to do double work; they
become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this waste and acids,
which keeps accommodating and circu-
lating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles,
causing stiffness, soreness and pain,
called rheumatism.
AT the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
full in a glass Of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is helpful to neutralize
acidity, remove waste matter, also to
stimulate the kidneys, thus often rid
ding the blood of rheumatic poison.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is
made from the acid of grapes and
juice, combined with lithia, and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands Of folks who are subject to
rheumatism.-Adv.
