"If you want to get ahead^"

MODERN developments in railway science make it necessary for every railway cm- ployee to study hin work if he desires to advance. Only the poorer places are open nowadays to the uneducated man. The old methods of "pickkg it up" na longer avail. Definite, systematic study Is necessary to a mastery of railroading, and the men who realize this the quickest are the firsttosecure promotion. There is always room at the top for men of ability and special training.

It is universally recrniznl talay that the best home-sludy courses for railroad men a n those offered by the Inlernational Correspondence Schools. The big reason is that these courses are practicd.

The instructon are men who have had long cx- perience in both the practical and theoretical branchn of railway work-men who have occupied impulant positions in the railwa world and who have spent many years in gaining txeir knowledge 01 the businrjs.

Starts Hens Laying Here's a New Way to Get Eggs in

Winter. Costs Nothing to T r y

A Letter from Xiss Dams Wright. Vancouver, Wash., has a real Idea for chlcken raisers who are not gettim plenty of eggs. She says:

"Late in October, our flfteen hens were not laylng at all. 1 started givin~ them Don Sung, and for ten days they still didn't lay. But on the eleventh day they laid thirteen eggs, and it is wonderful what Don Sung has done for our egg basket."

Don Sung, the Chinese egg laying tablets which Miss Wright used, are opening the eyes of cliicken raisers all over America. The tab lets can be obtained from the Durrell-Dubger Cn.. 434 PosLal Station Bldg., Indianapolis. Ind. Poultry raisers whose hens are not layin: well should serrd 5 0 cents for a trlal packilge (or $1 for the extra large slze, holding lhree tllnes as much). Don Sung 1s positively guar- anteed to do the work or money promptly re- funded, so it costs nothing to try. Right now Is the tlme to start giving Don sun^ to sollr hcns. so sou mill have a good supply of fresh cam all minter.
