The Pneumonia Season
The cold, damp weather of March
seems to be the most favorable for
the pneumonia germ. Now is the time
to be carefuL Pneumonia often re
sults from a cold. The quicker a cold
is gotten rid of the less the danger.
As soon a the first indications of
a cold appears nne i;pamoeriain s

this preparation, ask anyone who has
used it. Adv.
Mi GrainFarmer:
Aro you prepared to handlo your train in bulk 7 Do not
wait until Spring and Summer when you ure buried with work
and worried with labor shortuge, but build your graneries now.
' You enn buy the lumber and roofing paper for n first-class
1000 bushel portable granary for $54.58 and it will last for
years. Sucks for the same amount of grain will cost you
$125.00 and this would be a dead loss against this year's crop.
' A granary of this size con be moved anywhere and can bo
filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced
lubor handling and sewing sacks.
The boys in the trenches need the sacks for sand bags for
the protection of their very lives anil perhaps your boy is
among them.
Spend your money in your own valley by buying lumber
Rianufaatured at home. When you buy sacks part of the
money goes to India. . -' '.
BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW ' ,
Be prepared, by building them before the farming scuson
opens up. Be suit to get good lumber, well seasoned, as low
gtait lumper will give you trouble in a few seasons. Don't
use green lumber. , ; ..;..-
' Save moneykeep what you spend nt homo prevent loss
and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks fur our
boys in the trenches; help win the war by building granaries now.
Portable granaries of this type are universally used in
other sections. One trip with n good team will haul the ma
terial for one granary. For particulars as well as prices on
Union County lumber for all farm purposes, see
