FOREST FIRE
FIGHTERS IN MOVIES
A forest fire allowed to burn may
mean fewer airplanes to fight the
Kun. If you prevent a fire you may
save the very tree that Uncle Sam
needs to build the air fleet.
Forest fire, the great menace of the
wooded regions of the country, is the"
subject of motios pictures to be ex
hibited by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture at the Georgia
State Fair.
The pictures show how very easy
it is to start a fire; quite unintention
ally, by throwing aside a burning
match, then the discovery fire
simultaneously by a forest ranger on
patrol and a forest guard at a look
cut station on a mountain top. The
rsory is completed by the heroic ef
fort required to stop the flames, the.
provision made by the Forest Service
for fighting the fire, the rushing of
men from near-by towns and the final
conquering of the conflagration, but
not until twenty houses are destroy
ed in a town bordering the burning
forest.
240 POUND PIGS.
With corn above 50 cents hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The
hog that takes two or three months
to get on full feed never brings you
a profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B. A.
Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regularly
and watch your shoats round out
into fat hogs in nine months—hogs
going well over 200 pounds and as
high as 240 pounds. Figure the aver
age feeding and you will see why the
B. A. Thomas medicine is a good in
vestment. Try feeding out your hogs
on this plan and if you are npt more
than pleased, we will refund the cost
of the medicine. Sold by G. E. Buch

TERRIBLY JWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Tortnr*
Relieved by Black-Draught.
Rossville, Ga.—Mrs. Kate Lee Able, oi
this place, writes: “My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he to
jured himself with a piece cf heavy ma
chinery, across the 1 ' abdomen. He was
so sore he could not bear to pres* on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed 165 lbs., and fell off until he
weighed 110 lbs., in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suflered so. He was swol
len terribly. He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.
I sent and bought Thedford’s Black-
Draught. 1 made him take a big dose,
and when it began to act he fainted, he
was in such misery, but he got relief and
oegan to mend at once. He got well,
and we both feel he owes his life to
Thedford’s Black-Draught.’’
Thedford’s Black-Draught will help you
to keep fit. ready for the day’s work.
