Out of 787 cases of disabled soldiers approved for retraining by the federal board for vocational education, agriculture in its various branches is not first in numerical yrder, as is generally supposed. One hundred sixty-five cases have been awarded courses in commercial colleges, generally. Agriculture does come next with 137 cases which are divided up into the following: agronamy, one; animal husbandry, ten; dairying, three; farming, one hundred fourteen; poultry raising, six; truck gardening, three. By the policy of placing disabled soldiers, sailors and marines for retraining in the existing institutions of ho country, it Is figured that the government has been ®aved over $25,900.000, which is a reasonable cost had all the meh in training, and to be trained, be assembled in one or two institutions provided and controlled >y the federal government. By using the existing educational institutions, representing an investment of over $300,000,000, there is available for the disabled man an infinitely greater opportunity than could possibly be given through any institution inaugerated especially for this work. Sheriff Henry Gehrett on Wednesday afternoon unearthed seventy-five

dollars’ worth of more than a hundred dollars in merchandise stolen Tuesday night from the Cole. Reed & Co. hardware store on North Main street. Robert Staker. son of John Staker, confessed to his part in the theft and isald that Paul DeWitt, a messenger boy, and a son of Ed Mosure, living east of the city, was the third boy in the gang. They had taken five or six revolvers, pocket knives, flash lights, pad locks ancLline plyers. Tho police “got on” to Staker when the boy started trading tho stolon knives with playmates at school. He had the stolen goods stored in the basement of the Western Union

Telegraph office, where Sheriff Gehrett found it this afternoon. Staker said tho back door of the atore was unlocked, but the hardware men think this is untrue, and that the boys used a skeleton key of some kind.

YOU CAN MAKE YOUR g B!US LESS From Globe, Arizona, comes this recommendation of Neolin Soles. J. B. Medlyn rends it. He says: “I have never had my Neolin-soled shoes repaired as the soles always outwear the tops. The pro;.non I hold keens me on my feet most of the time, and I can say that for comfort and wear Neolin is the only shoe so.c. Millions of others who have worn Ncolin Soles think with Mr. Medlyn that they are the only soles £pr wear and comfort. Moreover, these soles cut your shoe bills down because they make your shoes last so Jong. They, are waterproof too. Ne&in Soles are made scientifically by The Goodyear Ti'-e & Rubber Co.. Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels —guaranteed to outwear all other heels. ,

FOR CONSTIPATION The Root of Many Malignant DlSEASES—Laxcarin is Used Very Effectively. HOW LAXCARIN IS USED AS A STOMACHIC OR DINNER PILL. —The usual dose is one pill taken immediately before or after dinner. Sugar-coated and non-nauseat-ing they can be thus taken without inconvenience and by their power of gently stimulating the Stomach, Organs of Digestion, Liver and Bowels, will tend to give relief from the effects of over-eating, indigestion and any tendency to the formation of a costive habit of the body. DOSES, as a LAXATIVE, in Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Chronic Constipation or 'Costiveness, Sick Headache, etc., take one, or two tablets at bed time, or any number required to insure a healthy movement of the bowels once and not more than twice during the next day. When taken every night or every other night, in many cases a single pill will be sufficient, others again will require more, while in a few instances a half pill will be found ample. When thus taken, patients will soon learn by experience the size doses they need, bearing in mind that a single, healthy and natural movement of the bowels daily is all that is required. This is the best time and manner of taking them in these diseases, as operating very gently next day they carry off vitiated secretions. As a PURGATIVE. The average does far an adult, to produce moderate purging in Bilious Attacks, Dis ordered Stomach, is from 2 to 3 tablets. As a CATHARTIC. Where very active purging is desired, from two to three tablets may be taken. For CHILDREN. T hey should be given in doses proportionate to age, say a child from 5 to ,8 years, onehalf tablet; from 9 to 15 years, one whole tablet. CONSTIPATION dr COSTIVENESS. This condition is really a

parent of evil, giving rise, when habitual or chronic, to an almost innumerable class of ills ami affecting a numerous host of people. To obtain relief: Take Laxcarin at bedtime in laxative doses sufficient in size- only to induce a single natural evacuation of the bowels next day. After a few days omit the tablets, but nevertheless on the following - j morning at the same hour on which j I the pills operated the day before I ■ make an effort to have an evacuation. I I whether there is any desire for it or , I' riot. If successful, never fail to goto! stool at that hour every day or the i constipated habit may return. If, any evacuation should not follow tho first or second morning after omit- j ting the tablets return to their use for a few days and then omit them again as before, and so continue until regular evacuations are established.

In most cases whether with adults ' or children, the doses will have to be ' varied in size and in the time inter-: vening between the doses to suit the peculiarites and habits of different individuals and of differing circum- ] stances, each learnng by experience j for themselves what is best, adapted to their use. It is best to have a box of Laxcarin' always on hand. It is the safest purgative, and no family medicine chest is complete without it. Sold solely by the LAXCARIN PRODUCTS CO. Price $1 per box; 6 boxes, $5. Money Orders, Cash, Registered Mail Will send C. O. D Anywhere Dept. E-147 Pittsburgh, Pa.

In making a Government loan the procedure is very little different from making any other land loan. An api plication is tilled out, sworn to before a notary public, which together [ with the abstract of title is sent intol the Loan Bank, The First Joint Stock , Land Bank, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, is one of these loan banks. Within a few days a Government Inspector ■ appraises the land and report on the title made by an attorney appointed by the government. There is no more red tape, trouble or expense in making these loans than is required by a careful investor. You pay no commission. The money is loaned on the “mortization” plan, which means a plan whereby the loan is paid off by paying a certain fixed . amount semi-annually which pays off interest and principal in a little less than 33 years. For example, on a . loan of $10,000.00 the payment of , S7OO annually will paj’ interest and i entire principal in 33 years. On a [ loan of $1,000.00 the annual payment would be $70.00. These loans can be , partially paid or all paid at the end of 5 years should the borrower so choose. The loan never falls due at any one time. No renewals. The borrower simply pays $70.00 per annum on each $1,000.00 borrowed, nev- ■ er has any renewals with incidental expense. No one can disturb him in I possession of his land nor demand ; further payments than that. It can - be easily seen that a long time loan I Uke this will make a farm sell for a * . better price than' if the purchaser had i to pay cash or obtain a loan for him- , ! self. We sincerely believe this is the best contract ever offered the ; borrowing farmers of America.
