On Tuesday last she was taken to Listowel Memorial. Hos- pital, when lancing and sulfa drugs failed to do their duty. The new peni- cillin was pressed into action and to this goes another red letter for the wonder drug. Mrs. Adams was being moved to her parents home, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Doig in Listowel on Tues- day, and if the improvement continues as we hope it will, she will return home by the end of the week. Friends of Mr. John Hyndman will regret learning he is confined to his bed again, suffering another attack with his stomach.

We believe that's at least twice and likely three times, as many as were fed on any other brand of Chick Starter in Canada. Why this enormous preference for SHUR-GAIN CHICK STARTER and why does its popularity grow year after year? Let's look at the reasons: ATTRACTIVE FEED—Chicks like fresh, tasty SHUR1GAIN Chick Starter. It's made from the choiceit, freshest and most palatable ingredients. That's why chicks eat it so freely and grow so quickly. ATTRACTIVE CHICKS—Chicks live and thrive on SHUR-GAIN Chick Starter —because they get the proper balance of vitamins, minerals and high quality proteins (with lots of animal protein). That's the way to efficiency and suc- cess. ATTRACTIVE PRICES—Local manufacture of SHUR-GAIN Chick Starter— at your neighbourhood SHUR-GAIN Service Mill—saves money. 15 million chicks were fed an SHUR-GAIN in 1944, by farmers who knew the answer—SHUR-GAIN Chick Starter. Can 15 Million chicks be wrong?
