. Salesman Dies.
George M. Bachtell, traveling
salesman for J. W. Myers & Co.,
wholesale grocers of Chambers
burg and Hagerstown, died at
his home in the latter place
Thursday morning of last week,
of diphtheria, aged 39 years.
His wife is ill with the same dis
ease. For many years Mr. Bach
tell was well known to a majority
of the people of the County be
tween McConnellsburg and the
Maryland line. Advance cards
written at Hancock on January
25th, stating that he would call
on customers in McConnellsburg
on the 27th were received here,
r.nd now serve to indicate how
rapidly the disease did its fatal
work.
Are Getting More Eggs.
But a few years ago, the aver
age number of eggs laid by farm
hens in the course of a year was
60. It is now nearer 80. Not all
farm flocks improved, but those
that did, raised , the average.
Now, things like that don't "just
happen" in this old world there
is 'always a reason. So many
women depend entirely upon their
hens to furnish the little bit of
cash they must have that some
of them have paid h""1 n
things tb wrtv v'een told over
. Pri, o ver again hundreds of times,
and the result is flock improve
ment It is beginning to be un
derstood that laying eggs is a
serious business for the hen, and
that in order to lay many eggs,
she muat have help to keep her
body in full strength when weath
er is bad, and in addition to this,
vitality sufficient to spare to go
into egg production. She cannot
do both on slim feed and exposure
night and day.
WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
.Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
il any good. '
To correct catarrh you should treat its
lause by enriching your blootl Willi the
.il-food in Scott'a Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, frt.e
tromalcoholorany harmful drupi. Try it.
