RISONER OF WAR NO FARM HAND. Kis Natural Aversion fo Work for Enemy (Correspondence of tne Assoclated Press.i Vienna, Jan. 26—Austrian and | Aungarian land owners and (:u'lnm'\" are not particularly impressed with the value of Ru ain and Serbian prisoners of war farm laborer Accounts from all sides generall support the old saw, “You can lead a horse to wate but you cannot make him drin wOn the whole, the as a farm hand seems to have been a failure. This is true for other rea- sons than that the prisoners have a natural aversion to work for their enemies. One of the great handi- caps has been that the Russian and Serb farmers who were selected to work on the Austrian and Hungarian farms, were for the greater part un- thtined in the rather intensive farm- prisoner of war ng methods employed in the dual _monarchy. Though the men wer shown how to go about their work | most of them failed to understand the reason why it had to be done a cor- tain way. Others who did understand preferred to be careless, when not under the eves of the overseer and guards. But few of the prisoners of war took any interest in the work. Patriotic feelings appear to have been an active deterrent for most of them. Hns. Solendid Crop. That Austria-Hungary had a splen- did crop this year is due to unusuaii- ly favorable weather conditlons. With an ordinary ‘“crop year” and prison- ers of war on many of the farm. thg country would have fare say those familiar with conditions. is asserted that the ac sion in crop returns due ‘to the labor of the prisoners of war is hardly equal to what the Russians and Serbs held in Austria-Hunga will themselves consume during the year. It seems, however, that the labor of prisoners of war was more produc- tive in other fields of endeavor, es- pecially is this true where the Rus- =ans and Serbs remained altogether under the control of the military. In building roads and railroads no ovo- portunity for shirking was given. Each gang had to do a certain amount of work; results were immediately visible and therefore susceptible to prompt correction, which was not the | case in farming. The engineer troops under whose surveillance rail- road work was done could not be easily fooled by the prisoners of war, while the farmer had he wanted to supervise his involuntary farmhand closely, could have done the work himself. Since most of the old reser- vists guarding the prisoners of:'War were city people no improvement from that direction could be expected. ., Obtained Better Results. - German farmers who employed Russian prisoners of war are said to have obtained better results, though the Associated Press corresponde -t cennot say that a large landowner ¢ . the Brandenburg province with whom he discussed the matter was at all en- thusiastic over the prospects of ha.- ing to raise another crop with the aid of orisoners of war. He said that in addition ‘to being most unwilling workers. the Russians he had e ployed failed to learn rapidly, thou h he had the services of an able inter- preter. The handicaps of language have been sorely felt by both sides, of course. An improvement in this si:- uation {8 now expected.

She used it to keep her p hear beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fen out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mix- ware was applied with wonderful e fect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowad by asking at any drug store for a 50-cent bottle of *Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” you will get this famous old recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan- depff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and fa¥ing hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw thig through your hair, taking onc strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- Lother application or two it becomes HE life story (here told only in brief form) of the I Rev. Father John O'Brien, who came to Lowell, Mass., in 1848, to take charge of St. Patrick’s Parish, is a record of loving self-sacrifice and service to humanity. For such a spirit there is always work, never any time for self, always time =" for service to others. Duties pressed one upon another, and only his earnestness and noble spirit enabled him to bear up 2 under the great responsi- bility he left. y TFather John, as he was a ff e c t ionately known to his people, was born in Ireland, or- dained to the priesthood there in 1828, and came to Ameri- ca in 1841 to take charge of a large missionary field in Martins- burg, West Virginia. For seven years Father John traversed the hills and mountains, through rain and shine, heat and cold, visiting the sick and afflicted, cheering and encouraging the unfortunate. In 1848 Father John came to Lowell, Mass., to take up his labors in St. Patrick’s Parish, which in those early days included many miles of the thinly settled territory round about. Under his - direction and by his splendid energy, schools and a hospital were established. It was at his suggestion and through his ener- getic work that the rebuilding of St. Patrick’s Church was begun and completed. As he had done in Virginia, so in the more rigor- ous New England climate, Father John exposed himself to all kinds of weather in his work for his people. Soon after the dedication of St. Patrick’s Church, in 1854, Father John's cares and burdens began to wear him down. His years of devotion to duty had left him weak and feeble. He was attacked with a serious cold, which developed into a stubborn cough and affliction of the lungs, which caused the greatest alarm for his health. Medical skill seemed unable to stay the disease for a time until his doctor gave him a prescription Father John Rode Over the Hills and Mountains of Virginia In All Kinds of Weather Father John comes to Lowell, Mass., in 1848 to relieve the cold and lung afflic- tion and. to build:up and strengthen the body. f Father John sent the prescription to the old drug store of Carleton & ‘Hovey, where it was compounded on June g, 1855.

O Years Ago prompt relief to the throat irritation and the cough soon disappeared ; while the food elements of which the medicine was composed nourished and built up his whole system.

In I'the homes of his parishioners Father John's visits were agamn enjoyed, and there he would tell how he had been restored to health and strength, how the medicine he had taken had made him as strong and rugged as ever, had built up his entire system and given him new life and energy. When he visited the sick and ailing he recommended the medicine that had done him so much good. The prescription was on file in Pre- scription Book IX., at the old drug store of. Carleton & Hovey. Those whom the clergyman advised to take it always came to the drug store and asked for “Father John's” medicine, and so it was named by the people, and advertised, all with the approval of Father John, because he knew of its power to do good from his own experience. He desired that all who were ailing might test its value. By this word-of-mouth recommendation start- ing more than fifty years ago, Father John's Medicine, as it soon came to be called, became a family remedy in countless homes. The old, prescription book, its pages tattered and worn through years of usage, is still care- fully preserved, and the page which shows the greatest wear is that upon which the original prescription was written more than fifty years ago.

Nothing can be added to these strong endorsements—praise given becatse of their knowledge and faith in its merit, and an earnest desire to have others benefit by its wonderful power. You have read of its history and fifty years of success, during which time it has proved a great blessing to mankind. Permit us now to tell you of its value. It is an old-fashioned family remedy—not a patent medicine, but the prescription of the learned doctor who was consulted when the ;. case of the late Rev. Father O’'Brien did not yield to the customary treatment. It is free from alcohol, opium, morphine, cocaine, or poison=- ous drugs in any form which are found in many of the patent medicines; it containg no alcohol or other stimulants. It is a Food Medicine, pure and wholesome. It is invalu- able as a tonic and body builder and restores weak and run-down systems to health and strength. It nourishes the system and makes flesh. & Right here we want to warn you against the danger in tak- ing patent medicines which rely wholly on stimulating or nerve-deadening drugs for their effect. They weaken the system and leave you exposed to disease, cause nervous prostration and a craving for drugs; thousands of victims of the drug habit, had the desire created by taking some patent medicines and many so- called “cough syrups” and “balsams.” Tt is almost an impossibility to find a single prepa- ration that does not contain poison- ous drugs. Father John's Medicine is a safe medicine for all the family ; for the children as well as older people, be- cause it does not contain alcohol or dangerous drugs in any form. In the treat- ment of colds, coughs, throat and lungs, and as a tonic and body builder it has had more than fifty years of success.
