OLD-FASHIONED HOGHOUSESHIT State Expert Says That They Are the Best For Raising of Swine Today "Many people have a mania to build larpe swlnehouses of concrete," says 1.. W. Llghty, farm adviser of the State Department of Agriculture, "invariably the larger and more elaborate these "hoßhouses" are the more the pork costs that comes out of them. One of the largest and most elobrate one in the state has been cleaned out by hog cholera three times in a dozen years. Very frequently I meet people who tell me .about their hog ailments. Then I \polt at the shelters and find them better adapted for root cellars than swine shelters. No wonder the pigs have rheumatism, and break down in the spine, the sows have inflamed udders and fail to nourish the pigs and everything goes wrong. "What animal could thrive on a cold rock and wet cement floor Sometimes they make a wooden rack of slats and put it on the cement floor. That multiplies the trouble. It adds a constant cold draft under neath the animal. Also it adds to ihe foulness of the place. "The small breeder needs nothing but good inverted V-shaped houses for farrowing shelters. These are movable. The large breeder needs a winter farrowing house and it should be built for the comfort of the sows and not for his comfort. "I never met a man who had the heart to build a dog's house in the manner he builds his hoghouse. He builds the doghouse for the dog's comfort but when he builds the hog house he never for a minute consid ers the hog's comfort. "The litter of the 'old sow of the woods' numbered ten to fourteen pigs. The 'new sow' bred to all kinds of fancy points that do not count in pork pounds, and kept in sixteen-foot high solid concrete stable with -all kinds of automatic fixtures for the owner's amusement, litters from two to six pigs. "If they come a little early they usually keel over in a few days Kvery* practical swine grower .knows 1 am stating facts. The old 'pigpen' by the barnyard was better shelter for the sow to farrow in than the new solid concrete cold&torage ar rangements now called hoghouses. FACE PEELING HABIT BECOMING FASHIONABLE Women of fashion and refinement in this country as in Europe seem to have been acquiring the mercolized wax habit, depending less and less upon cosmetics for their complexion difficulties, it does seem a lot saner to just peel off the wornout skin when it loses its youthful color and appeai auce —now that this can be done so easily, safely, painlessly and eco nomically. There's no trouble getting mercol ized wax at any drugstore (an ounce will do), since its virtues have be- I'ome generally known here, and there's no trouble using it—just as ' ou use cold cream, applying at night, washing it oft next morning. The wax takes* off the old scarf skin, in tiny flakes, a little each day. This new l.nth r-skln which gradually appears, i.a velvet> soft and beautifully white, ladlunt with girlish loveliness. Any mace trouble like chaps, pimples, d or yellow patches, freckles, etc., nishes of course with the discarded iiiitle.—Advertisement.

Noted authority tells what causes Backache and Bladder weakness. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kid ney pores so they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head aches, liver trouble, nervousness, • onstipatton, dizziness sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from slug gish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with ltthla, and has been used for generations to flush clogged kidneys and Stimulate them to activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation, thus end ing bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can rot injure; makes a delightful effer vescent llthla-wuter drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean rind the blood pure, thereby avoiding sc-rlous kidney complications. THURSDAY EVENING, ' HAJUUBBURO tdSSfti TBLEQRjtPH NOVEMBER 15, 1917. REMEMBER MEN IN ARMY CAMPS Governor Brumbaugh Issues Proclamation Calling on People to Give Thanks Governor Brumbaugh In his Thanksgiving proclamation issued to day calls upon the people Penn sylvania to "let thankfulness take the form of prompt and effective as sistance to those in need" and to let the bounty be bestowed upon the men in the Army and Navy. The Governor fixes the same day as the President in the following proclamation: "We need daily to supplicate the throne of God for guidance and for sustaining grace. It is especially fitting that in these dire days we should join humbly and heartily in sincere worship of Almighty God, and in earnest expressions of thankfulness for His matchless mercies and man ifold blessings. A people that is not reverent is not worthy. A nation that forgets God shall surely' perish. He is the Su preme Authority in the earth and the recognition of His great ness and goodness is essential to our security and our well-being. "Pennsylvania is a command ing part of our great nation. We suffer as does the whole Re public because of the cruel war now destroying our social, edu , cational and economic activities, and calling the flower of your young manhood to the flag and to an unknown destiny. We should humbly and with heavy hearts give thanks to God that in His providence Pennsylvania is loyal to the Country and de voutly true to Him. We should willingly and humbly devote all our energies and our resources to a speedy ending of this hor rible war and the attendant car riage that must fall upon our men at the front. The nation cannot prosper, the Common wealth cannot go forward until victory crowns our efforts and holy and abiding peace comes to all the peoples of 'the world. us reverently pray and steadily work for this end, be lieving it is God's will that yre should so do. "When we gather in Thanks giving services let us count the great blessings vouchsafed us by iJlvine wisdom. We have hail a year of bountiful crops; a year of health and prosperity; a year free from the horrors of fire and flood; a year-of beneficent pro vision for the needy and of cher ful suuport to every great call the nation has voiced. We have much to be thankful for. Let us openly give God the glory. "Let our thankfulness -take the form of prompt and effec tive assistance to those in need. Let the poor and the suffering have generous recognition. Let ■ our boitoty be bestowed upon | our boys in the Army and Navy. Let no Pennsylvania patriot I anywhere be overlooked upon 1 this day of prayer and of prac tical philanthropy. Let us lift to God hands yet warm with ! gifts of good to those we love, and should serve. Let us learn from Him who gave his beloved Son that we might live, that It is vastly more blessed to give than to receive, and it is fitting and altogether proper to give Him a reverend pledge of love and loyalty and to give to out beloved Country unswerving and unreserved support. Learning from Him our duty, let us cour ageously and ceaselessly do it and do it commandingly well. "Let it be a day of devout thankfulness for personal and national blessings and a day of consecration to our Common wealth and Country. Above all, let it be a day of devout con fession .of dependence upon Al mighty God and of earnest sup plication for guidance and grace to live as He would have us live. Let us quietly, solemnly, fer vently gather in our accustomed places of worship and each in his own way but all in an open and rpvArent way rivn . thnnkv and make confession and renew pledges of fealty to our God. "That this may be done in a seemly and fitting manner with one accord and in unity of pur pose and of time, I. .MARTIN GROVE BRUMBAUGH, Gover nor of this Commonwealth do designate and set aside" THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1917, As THANKSGIVING DAY.
