A New Sort.

Recent Investigations of life
insurance companies have
brought out some interesting
facts. Among these is the So
called "sub-standard" insurance
"a new sort to most of us. Ac-
cording to the testimony of one
of the managers, his company
insures the lives of persons who
are unable to pass the required
medical examination. And this
kind of insurance, so the mana
ger says, is more profitable than
the regular run of business. Not
on account of the larger premium
charged, as might be surmised;
but because the subjects of this
kind of insurance live longer than
the average. The man who
knows his physical weakness
takes better care of himself. The
strong and robust man gives lit
tie thought to health. Having
successfully passed the medical
tests he lets it go at that.

Separation.

The war in the East is over the
compact signed; and now the
threatened clash in northern Eu-
rope is averted. The union be-
tween Norway and Sweden, ex-
listing since 1914, has been form
ally dissolved, both houses of the
riksdag having passed the gov
eminent bill repeating the act of
union and recognizing Norway
AS a state separate from the
union with Sweden.
Both houses subsequently pass
ed the new flag law. The flag
will be a yellow cross on a blue
ground, the same as existed prior
to 1914, the union mark now
showing in the upper left corner
being eliminated.
A prince of the royal house of
Denmark will probably be crown
ed king of Norway.

roosting apartment by IL, a small door
leading from the one to the other.
AS will be seen by the cut, says the
Prairie Farmer, the roosting place is
at the side of the house instead of at the
back, the advantage being that it not
only allows of a more airy roost, but
one that can be reached by the SUMS
rays through the window shown.
In the scratching shed wire netting
is used on the front side from the roof
to within three feet of the ground, the
house being SO placed as to catch the
suns rays for the greater part of the
day. Leading into the scratching shed
is a door, feet by 8, and one of similar
size leads from the outside into the
roosting shed, the roosts being arranged
on either side at right angles with the
doors, thus allowing free passage from
one end of the coop to the other
In the more rigorous climates it may
be advisable to cover the large opening
in the front of the house with large
door containing a window, hinged at
the top, which can be let down in severe
weather and protect the scratching shed
from rain and snow.

RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION
Biennial Convention of Conductors
Ask Congress Not to Pass Adj
verse Railroad Laws.

At the biennial convention of the
Order of Railway Conductors recently
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions
were unanimously adopted voicing
their sentiments as to the effect of pro-
posed railway rate legislation on the
100000 railroad employees, whom they
In part represented. These resolutions
Endorse the attitude of President
Roosevelt in condemning secret re-
bates and other illegalities, and com.
mend the attitude of the heads of
American Railways, who, with prac-
teal unanimity, have joined with
the President on this question. y
They then respectfully point out to
Congress the 'inadvisability OF legisla
ton vesting in the hands of COM
mission power over railway rates, now
lower by far in the United States than
in any other country" because such
regulation would result in litigation
and confusion and inevitably tend to
an enforced reduction in rates, ire
spective of the question of the ability
of the railroads to stand the reduction.
especially in view of the increased cost
of their supplies and materials" They
further protested against such power
being given to the present Interstate
Commission because "the proposed leg
islation is not in harmony with our
idea of American Jurisprudence, mas
much as it contemplates that single
body shall have the right to investi-
gate, indict, try, condemn and then
enforce it's decisions at the cost of the
carriers, pending appeal which is
manifestly inequitable''
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation If any, as
would secure and insure justice and
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation sis the
result of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant improvement and de-
velopment of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value of intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,

In pressing their claim against legis-
lation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that ''the freight
rates of this country average only two
per cent of the cost of articles to the
consumer, thus making the freight
rate so insignificant factor in the
selling price that numerous standard
articles are sold at the same price in
all parts of the country"

DAYS OF TIE GIANTS GONE
Skeletons of Ancient Times Which
Showed Men Were of Enor-
nous Stature.

The past was more prolific in the pro-
duction of giants than the present. In
1880 one of these giants, who was ex-
hibited at Rouen, was ten feet high and
the giant Galabra, brought from Arabia
to Rome in the time of Claudius Caesar,
was of the same height. Fannum, vino
lived in the time of Eugene H., was IL IL
feet in height.
The Chevalier Scrog in his journey to
the Peak Teneriffe found in one of the
caverns of that mountain the head of a
giant who had 60 teeth and who was not
less than Is feet high. The giant Fara-
gus, slain by Orlando, the nephew Of
CharlemaSne, according to reports, was
IS feet high. In 1914 near st. Gernad
was found the tomb of the giant 1solent,
who was not less than 80 feet high In
1890 near Rouen was found skeleton
whose head held a bushel of corn and
which was 10 feet in height. The giant
Bacrt was % feet high.
In 1923 near the castle in Dauphine a
tomb was found 80 feet long, Is feet
wide and eight feet high on which were
cut in gray stone the words KentolochuS
Rex" The skeleton was found entire
and measured 25A feet high. ten feet
across the shoulders and five feet from
breastbone to the back.
But France is not the only country
where giant skeletons have been un-
earthed. Near Palermo, Sicily, IL 1916,
was found the skeleton of giant 80
feet high, and in 1859 another "A feet
high. Near Magrino. on the same is
land, in 1916, was found the skeleton
of a giant of 80 feet, whose head was
the size of hogshead and each tooth
weighed five ounces.

TWINS VS.. SINGLE LAMBS.
Table Which Shows That There Is
But Little Difference Be-
tween the Two.

The table below shows that there IL
very little difference between the
weight of single lambs and of twins
at birth. Single females weighed about
three-fourths of a pound more than
twin females, and the difference be-
tween the single and twin males was
even less, while the twin males were
actually slightly in excess of the single
females
The smaller size of twin lambs OBJ
served in most focks is undoubtedly
more the result of insufficient nutrition
while sucking than it is the inferior
size of birth, says Prof. F. B. Mumford,
Missouri college of agriculture. Very
few ewes yield sufficient milk to prop
erly nourish two thrifty, early-matur-
ing lambs. If such lambs are early
taught to eat grain and hay, the twin
lambs will in most cases thrive equally
as well as the single lambs of the same
birth weight. With little attention
lambs may be taught to eat at very
early age, and grain fed at this time,
while the lamb is sucking, will pro-
duce larger against than at any later
time. If the twin lambs begin early to
supplement the milk of the mother by
eating oats, clover hay and possibly a
little oil meal they will thrive and in
the end become as thrifty as single
lambs. A flock of ewes that has been
bred for the production OF twins may
thus become considerably more profit
able than flock producing single
lambs only. On the other hand, If the
breeder fails to supply the extra feed
and care necessary for the twin lambs,
it may be, as often stated, that one
good single lamb is better than two
puny twins.

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.
Thousands Of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength comes from a
supply of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.
"They have been my best DOCTOR" he
saws. 81 was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains i'll my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. As the result of using eight
boxes of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which I learned from
friends in France, have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
been for DIR. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native Of
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Gal. He is one of a great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy Of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills in the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would getrid of nausea, pain or
buxping in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
yousness, insomnia, or any Of the other
lniseries of dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness of the digestive organs by the
use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and
little book, ssWhat to Eat and How to
Eat" may be obtained by any one who
makes a request for it by writing to the
Dr.. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,

ment Stunts Growth.

In fattening hogs do not begin to
This will stunt the pig. have seen
pigs fed corn almost from the start
and the development of their frames
checked in that way, says an Illinois
correspondent OF the Farmers Review.
Give the growing pig chance to de-
velop a good-sized frame, and after the
frame is about as large as you want it
put in the carbonaceous feed and begin
to put fat onto the frame. BY that
time the digestive organs of the pig
will have become strong on the pro-
teids that have been fed. I think that
a good many of our swine growers lose
sight of the fact that the digestive or
gans and the heart and lungs have to
be built up on heterogeneous food and if
that kind of food is not given in album
dance the said internal organs will
never be very strong or vigorous, and
hence never be in condition to han
die large quantities of food to advan-
tage.
l believe that even with the fatten-
ing hog it is a mistake to feed an
entirely corn ration. 1t is my expert
ence that hog that has either clover
alfalfa or milk with the corn will make
a better gain on the feed given than
any other way. I would not give the
fattening hog much range, though l
would the growing hog. But the fat
tening hog should not be induced to
work the fat off through his lungs,
which he is very likely to do if he
has large pasture to run over We
have to treat the hogs being fattened
in a different manner from those be-
ing developed in frame or being kept
for breeding purposes.
