One Dollar Saved Represents Ten Dollars
Earned.

The average man does not save to ex-
ceed ten per cent of his earnings. He
must spend nine dollars in living ex-
penses for every dollar saved. That be-
ing the case he cannot be too careful
about unnecessary expenses. Very often
a few cents properly invested, like buy
ing seeds for his garden, will save seve-
raj dollars outlay later on. 1t is the
same in buying Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrh9a Remedy. 1t costs
but few cents, and bottle of it in the
house often saves a DOCTORS bill of seve-
raj dollars. For sale by j. w. Bell, Wal

examination and measurement of each
individual and the prescription of suita-
bic exercises.
THE board is thoroughly convinced
that in order to secure the proper
physical development of the average
student a minimum of time to be de-
voted to compulsory physical exercise
is two hours each week throughout the
entire course.
The regular practice of judicious and
healthful exercises by cadets and mid
shipmen throughout their four years
course will develop habits and exercise
in youth which will tend to be prolong-
ed into later life and thus have a
marked effect in raising the standard
of physical and splendid endurance in
the officers of the United States.
THE board finds that the present
force of instructors in physical train
ing at each academy is inadequate to
its needs, even with the limited amount
of time now devoted to this work. With
the extension of time recommended
above at least three additional instruc-
tors will be required at each academy

Bay State Bird Lays an Egg That
Weighs Thirteen Ounces.

North Attleboro, Mass, March 81
When the news reached here that an
ambitious hen up in New Hampshire
had laid an egg that measured eight
and one-half inches in circumference
all the poultry in the neighborhood
got busy to beat the record.
Up to date only one notable achieve
ment has been reported. That comes
from Preston D. Whites brown Afri-
can goose, which, it seems entered the
contest, though it did not belong to
the chicken class.
Mr.. White brought the result to
town today, and it is the biggest egg
ever seen in North Attleboro. 1t is
eleven and seven-eighths inch es
around the longest circumference and
ten inches around the shortest. The
eggs weighs thirteen ounces.
The goose began its laying career in
January, 1908, and the mammoth egg
was the ninety-ninth to her credit.
She is two and half feet high, meas

Through these circulars the depart

WEDDING MAKES TOWN DIZZY.
Brides Father Finds Pot of Gold and
Celebrates Joyously.


Prescott, Mich, March S1.-This town
is still dizzy and weak in the knees
from the wedding celebration of Mary
Ann Dooley and Allen E. Mullen this
week Peter Dooley, father of the bride,
found $4,000 in gold while excavatinS
in an old cellar, and as there was no
claimant he kept half himself, giving
the other half to his daughter for a
wedding present.
That wedding will long be remember
ed in Prescott and vicinity. Dooley
gave everybody all the tobacco they
wanted, and in addition provided an
elaborate dinner for every inhabitant
of Prescott and all those hanging
around the edges of the town. No one
remembers what became of the former
occupants of the old house where the
money was found. 1t had been vacant
for many years.
The finding of the money was a god
send to Mullen and his bride. Both
families have always had n hard strug
gle for existence, and the young couple
had built themselves a little two room
log cabin in the woods. Two chairs, a
table. and bed, all the handicraft of
the groom, constituted the furniture.
The gift of $20, 900 has transformed
their lives as completely as if it were
the work of fairy godmother with her
magic wand. They viii now discard
the log cabin for what Is considered a
palatial residence here.
Meanwhile, if the curious and busy
neighbors should turn up a claimant for
the pot of gold he or she will have
some difficulty in securing possession,
even if the title should prove clear.
