The
Boy
THAT
FAILED

1 ENATHER had planned a brilliant
i future for him. Mothers high
hopes for his success were sup
ported ably by her everlasting
faith in him.
But the boy was bitter disap-
pointment. He was being outdis-
tanced steadily by his schoolmates,
was dull, listless all the time, "felt
sick" most of the time, never had
"pep" for play nor ambition for
his future.
Father had about given him up.
Poor mothers heartstrings were
nearing the breaking point. Evil
IDENTIFY, it was not to be.
Then an old friend of the family
"a man successful in every sense
came to the boys rescue. Today,
the father is proud of the boy who
is indeed joy to his mother.
1t was simply a case of poor di-
gestion, sluggish liver and consti-
patton gradually dulling the senses
and poisoning the system.
Knowing from experience that
Beecham's Pills were harmless as
well as efficient, the old friend
suggested them. They made the
boy well - as they have hosts of
other children, and grown-ups,
too, who suffered from like dis
orders.

Notes

Sunstroke Is taking toll among the
hen family; quick attention is the
only hope to avert death in these
cases. Shade is a big help, but cold
water quickly applied to the head
and then to other parts of the hens
body will save many a life in the
hen population.
This is certainly the season when
lice and mites get in their heaviest
attacks; every bird should be treated
to some good lice death and every
nest and roosting place must be kept
free of these death-dealing pests
Fresh drinking water and plenty
of II will keep down sunstroke to
some extent but watchfulness is the
small price of low mortality in hot
weather.

RADIO BUG CALLED
 JUST LIKE FISHING
"LittIe Fish' Compare to Small Broadcasting Stations; Larger,
 Big Fish"

PHILADELPHIA, March S.-"Just what is the lure of radio?" asks the non-enthusiast to whom radio is just another craze"
 Radio is like fishing" is the eX- planation offered by one radio fan dur ing a smoking-car discussion on su- burban train here. q get all the old thrill of that sport from this pastime. The little fish are the local radio broadcasting stations; the big ones, those farther off The bigger the fish you go after the more expensive the tackle.
 "To me each station I land is a 'bite,' and the 'gameness' of the fish, is the amount of difficulty one has in keeping out interference. A group of us who have radio sets have radio fishing club and we each keep score of the fish we land and tally up at the end of the week.
 "The distant stations - the big fish give one all the thrill to keep them hooked that a large fish would, for there is always fight with them to keep them on the line.' There is static interference and commercial wireless telegraphy to aid them in escaping from you. I get just as much thrill some night with my set as I do in the summer with rod and reel"
