I PAGE SIX ASHLAND TIDINGS Thursday, February 21, 1019 NEURALGIC PAINS Civ Way to Soothing Hamlin's Wizard Oil Hamlin's Wizard Oil is a safe and effective treatment for headache and neuralgia. Rubbed in where the pain is, it acts as a tonic to the tortured nerves and almost invariably brings quick relief. Its healing, antiseptic qualities can always be relied upon to prevent in fection, or other serious results, from sprains, bruises, cuts, burns, bites a-.'d stings. Just as good, too, for sore feet, stilt neck, frost bites, cold sores and canker sores. Get it from druggists for 30 cents. If not satisfied return the bottle and get your money back.

Anything in the way of newspaper clippings or, still better, whole, newspapers or magazines, would be more than welcome in the camps, particularly in France. Nothing would do a homesick sol dier any more good than to be made a regular recipient of bis home news paper. If you can't afford to sub scribe for him, roll up back numbers of the paper and send them to him. If you did feel like putting him on the list, he would bless you. Much is said about the need for keeping our soldier boys away from the temptations of army lite. One of the greatest causes of vice is an un occupied mind. If the army lines are well supplied with tents where there Is plenty of interesting reading mat te r", a great many idle hours will be pleasantly filled). The fellow who is quietly reading the home paper or an American magazine is not chasing around the outskirts of the camp looking for trouble. There isn't any possibility of get ting too much of this stuff. -The home paper will be read by soldiers who come from many miles distant and know nothing of the place where it is published. But anything Ameri can will look good to them. Our popular magazines will be thumbed over until they are reduced to rags. Vernon Castle Is Killed In Texas ( aptaln Vernon Castle of the Eng lish Royal Flying Corps was killed near Fort Worth, Texas, Friday morning while flying fifteen miles west of that city. Captain Castle has made more than 150 flights over German lines, besides being the cen tral figure in many heroic exploits along the Flanders front during the past nine months. He came back to the United States with Lord Welles ley, a short time ago, and was flying across country l-riuay morning While endeavoring to avoid an avla- tlon cadet and his machine, Castle swerved sharply, lost control of his plane and fell. Castle was a well known movie star prior to his en listment.

Harvey from her son, Corporal Frank Harveyj, Company D, 162nd Infantry, now stationed in France which shows the fine stuff our Ore gon boys are made of, in accepting the inevitable in the game they are engaged in playing at present: Dear Mother and All: Your letter Just received (January 15), the'first mall we have received since we left the states. The package you speak of has not yet come, but it always takes packages longer than letters Whenever you send anything, put it In a small wooden box, as packages get some pretty rough handling, but there is really no need of sending anything over here as we can get most everything we want. That stuff you heard about us fel lows being so badly abused is all "bunk." There is nothing to it at all. Of course I will admit that the place we were in before we left the states was awfully cold, but that could not be helped. I was pretty sick there myself, but I am not blam ing anyone for it, and as to what we have to eat, it is all right. Of course we don't have ice cream or straw berry shortcake every meal, but what we do have Is plentiful and good enough for anyone,. I have fared lots worse in the summer camps than I have on this trip. The whole trouble is this: some fellows can never learn that war is not a parlor game and that one must ex pect hardships, so at any time you happen to hear any more of that kind of "bunk," Just put it down as the homesick wailing of a "mamma's boy." It Is going to be fine over here this summer, but it is muddy at this time of the year. I will try to write every week, hut If I do not write that often, do not worry, because I am in no danger at all. I can't tell you why, but never theless it is a fact. tell you the Germans took it off so that 'I never would lift my right hand against them.' "I want to add my word against anything and eevrythlng that will Impede victory for the army of the I'nlted States," was the first expres sion that brought the cheers of his audience.

MILLION' RAISED IX THRIFT STAMPS Sales of thrift stamps and war sav ings stamps in Oregon are reported it over 1,000,000, almost simultane ously with the announcement from Washington that sales throughout the country had passed the $50,000,000 mark. The following telegram was re ceived recently by State Director C. S. Jackson from Frank A. Venderlip, chairman of the national war savings committee: "The steadily growing volume of savings placed at the service of the r.ntlou by millions of cltizns is splen did evidence of your effective work. Business as usual is a wholly wrong theory in war times. It Is only by teaching the people to save and not to compete for labor and materials with the government that we can put the whole strength of our nation Into this war. "This is not only our most Impor tant contribution to the war, but it is the sure way to raise the required n.oney. In the next few weeks we and our entire organization of nearly 200,000 workers must make It our common purpose and resolve to spread this gospel so that there will be a militant army of war-savers to r.ut war savings certificates and the next liberty loan over the top." L. A. Carniichael, who thought he was located In Marshfleld for the rer malnder of the winter, received an urgent letter from the government, requesting him to hurry to Medford and assist in checking up the govern ment cruise of the timber lands in Jackson county. Mr. Carmlchael left Monday morning, accompanied by Mrs. Carniichael, who will spend a few days in Medford and then re turn to Coos county and reside with her mother at-Dandon. The work at Medford will require Mr. Carml chael's services for about 90 days. Marshfleld Evening Record. POULTRY NOTES Winter Rations for Pullets. When the pullets are in winter quarters and are dependent upon the feeder for all green food and animal food as well as for grain, one of the following rations will supply the va riety required. The proportions In dlcated are parts by weight. Save Good Yearling Hen. Among farmers generally it is the common practice to sell the hens that are past a year old for poultry when they stop laying in the fall. Under the usual conditions this is good pol icy, for as a rule only about half of the flock lay well enough the second year to be profitable, and the farmer who has pullets enough to replace all his old hens sees no advantage in keeping any of them over. This year, however, those patriotic farmers who desire to do their part to Increase the poultry and egg sup plies will find it desirable to retain a considerable proportion of the year ling hens. Farmers in the corn belt especially will find it to their interest to hold all the good yearling hens they have, making such addition to their poultry house equipment, as may ne necessary to properly accommo date both pullets and hens. Over crowding must be avoided, as neither pullets nor hens will do their best. Selecting Hens to Keep. ' In selecting hens to keep over, preference should be given to those that molt in September or later, for they are, as a rule1, the most perslst- IIARRY LAUDER TELLS OF HUN BARBARITIES NO, We Have Not Declared Bankruptcy No, the firm has not sold out Same firm, same location, Oak street ond the S.

They are likely to be rough In plumage with somewhat shriveled combs and pale colored legs. These things, however, are merely Incident al to the nonlaylng and molting period. Hens that appear in prime condi tion at this time are those that molt ed In the summer because they stopped laying early. The exceptions which It may be desirable to retain are hens which reared broods In early summer and molted while running with thel chicks. Bulletin Aids Poultry Teachers. To aid teachers of poultry husband ry In secondary schools In presenting the poultry-raising opportunities to their classes, a specialist In the state relations service of the United States Department of Agriculture has pre pared a teachers' guide on tiie raising of ducks, geese and turkeys. ' Sug gestions are made as to methods of presenting these subjects both In the classroom and in the laboratory, and study outlines calculated to help the teacher and student to correlate the home work with the" work at school are given. The bulletin, known as States Relations ServlCb Document 57,' will be mailed free on request, while the supply lasts, to Instructors or administrators of high-school ag riculture. Pullets that will not begin laying before winter sets in may be left in the coops which they occupied while prowlng as long as the weather per mits them to rangej. If our young men could be as free from disabilities now as they are when qualifying for the college and school ball teams, there wouldn't be so many exemption claims. That new American bread has the taste of victory. Before a great audience that seemed from the Heillg stage to be mostly in uniform, Harry Lauder, famous Scotch humorist and enter tainer, drove home war epigrams rlnglngly at noon today, says the Tortland Journal. It was a torrent of hate against the Hun and the kaiser that Lauder poured forth. In the closing words of his address Lauder referred , to his son in de scribing an Incident of German cruel ty at the front.' And with that refer ence the hatred Inspired by his own sorrow seemed to surge Irrepressibly agalnts his selt-control. V "By God. men," he shouted, with face working, "there isn't anything too hellish for the Hun. He has shown me no mercy, and, by God, I'll show him no mercy either,." The incident that he related was one he said his son told him at home on furlough before he went back to the front & second time. A detach ment of troops making night attack on a German trench was forced to leave behind 60 of its men captives. The Germans took them, stripped them naked, left them all the night out in the chilling rain, and when morning came told them that as they vi ere they might return to their own lines. The boys wriggled through the German barbed wire and In so doing were lacearted from head to foot. . When they were half way across the 75-yard width of No Man's Lsnd the Germans opened up on them with their machine guns and riowed them down. Lauder said that while he was at the front he saw a soldier in the hos pital whose face was swatched in bandages. He had been one who had aided in the capture of a German trench. By the side1 of a burning sandle In a German dugout, 35 feet below the surface, h'e found a foun tain pen and took It with him. Two days later when he took the fountain pen to write a letter to his mother that he might tell he was all right, the unscrewing of the cap was fol lowed by an explosion that blew half his face, away. "There Is nothing too hellish for the Hun," declared Lauder. "They call his boche. I call him vandal, murderer, raper of w'omen, destroyer of old men and boys. You may see a boy from the war zone with his right hand off and hear him F. A. Thomas, the Myrtle Creek youth who was arrested a short time agq charged with the attempted burglary of his step-father's store and who has 3ince languished In the county jail, was this morning taken before Dr. E. B. Stewart, physician of the local exemption board, and subjected to an examination as to his fitness for military dut) It Is under stood that Mr. Thomas passed the te3t with flying colors, and in all probability he will be given a chance to fight for his country, Instead of serving a term in the state's prison. Roseburg 'ews. Mrs. Jesse M. Jones, living near Oregon City, recently cut the index finger off the right hand of her hus band that he might evade the draft. When explaining the incident before Deputy District Attorney Burke, she said she did It so her husband would not be called away to war, and de clared that she would rather be hanged than to have her husband taken away from her. The husband la, held awaiting a hearing on the charge of being a slacker, and it is probable the wife will be held as an accomplice in the plot.
