Hog Cholera or Swine Plague as it
is sometimes called is a highly conta-
gious disorder
When a hog shows any symptoms OF
this disease, he should be isolated at
once and the pen fumigated in order
to save the other hogs if possible.
Mix one part Sloan's Liniment with
two parts milk in a bottle and give
every sick hog a tablespoonful of this
mixture night and morning for three
days. Sloan's Liniment is a powerful
antiseptic, kills the disease germs,
soothes all inflammation and acts as
tonic to the animal.
A. j. Mccarthy, of IdaVille, Ind,
says: My hogs had hog cholera three
days before we got Sloan's Liniment,
which was recommended to me by a
neighbor who was using it with sue
cess. | have used it now for three
days and my hogs are almost well. One
hog died before l got the Liniment,
but | have not lost any since"
Mr.. G. w. Balsbaugh, of Peru, Ind,
writes: Il had four pigs that were
coughing and were not doing well.
gave them some of Sloans Liniment
and they got better at once"

OLDEST SCHOONER .AFLOAT.
The Polly Was Built in Massachusetts,
104 Years Ago.

The famous schooner Polly is now in
southern waters in active commission.
The Polly is the oldest American
schooner afloat and one of the oldest
vessels in the world in actual commits
sion. Built at Amesbury, Mass, i'll 1905,
no schooner sailing i'll any waters has
had a more varied life. The little sixty
five ton craft was a privateer in 1912,
was CAPTURED by and escaped from the
British, sailed to the Golden Gate in
1919 and around the world several times,
being regarded in her time as one of the
fastest sailors on the seas.
Even today after more than a century
of buffeting the pillows Of many oceans,
the Polly can show her heels to many a
modern coaster in run from Calais to
Boston.
Under the command of Capt. Jeduthun
Upton, of Salem. Mass. more than four
score years ago the Polly's decks bristled
with guns as she secured the seas prey
ing upon British commerce, until cap
tured by His Majesty's ship Phoebe of
forty-four guns. Captain and crew were
taken to England and held as prisoners
for several months.
The national society of the Daughters
of 1912 is doing everything in its power
to preserve complete records of the Pol
ly's career, and has obtained much valu-
able data.
The craft was built of the best white
oak and was new topped i'll 1850. While
the Polly has of course been repaired
from time to time, her timbers, plank
ing, etc, are the identical material that
she was built of 104 years ago.

OVER THE FENCE.
Neighbor Says Something

The front yard fence is a famous
council place on pleasant days. Maybe
to chat with some one along the street,
or for friendly gossip with next door
neighbor Sometimes it is only small
talk, but other times neighbor has
something really good to offer.
An old resident of Baird, Texas, got
some mighty good advice this way
once
He says:
Drinking coffee left me nearly dead
with dyspepsia, kidney disease and
bowel trouble, with constant pains in
my stomach, back and side, and so
weak l could scarcely walk.
'One day I was chatting with one of
my neighbors about my trouble and
told her l believed coffee hurt me.
Neighbor said she knew lots of people
to whom coffee was poison and she
pleaded with me to quit it and give
Postum trial. I did not take her ad-
vice right away, but tried a change of
climate which did not do me any good.
Then l dropped coffee and took up
Postum.
My improvement began immediate
ly and I got better every day l used
Postum.
My bowels became regular and in
two weeks all my pains vera gone.
Now l am well and strong and can eat
anything l want to without distress.
All of this is due to my having quit
coffee, and to the use of Postum regu-
larry
MY son who was troubled with in
digestion thought that if Postum help
ed me so, it might help him. 1t did,
too, and he is now well and strong
again.

SHOOTING FOR KEEPS"
Methuselah, London's Famous Tortoise,
Is Dead

London's oldest living link with the
past is broken. The 250-year-old tortoise
Methuselah. who has been one of the
curiosities Of the ZOO, has ended his
earthly career. No more will crowds
gather around his cage and discuss him
during his winter nap, and no more will
parents and gOvernesses take him as Il
text to deliver a little historical talk on
the days Of the great plague or the time
when Milton wrote Paradise Lost and
the tortoise was young and frivolous.
Since November Methuselah has been
alternating in the tortoise house in a
snug corner beside the hot water pipes.
From outward appearances he might
have been dead then, yet he was alive
and apparently doing WELL and when the
sunny weather came his awakening was
looked forward to daily. The end of last
week his keeper noticed change IN
him and an examination showed that
from Information the veteran had sunk
peacefully into death.
Methuselah was a very long time in
settling down to his last sleep. He
showed signs Of activity on November
/, which was two months after his
usual time of entering into Information.
Now his keeper thinks possibly he had
premonitions that this was to be his last
sleep, and he hesit&ted to settle down
to it.
Henry. the 2OO-year-old. tortoise, is
now the dOyen Of the ZOO.

SIMPLE WAY TO FROST GLASS.
Chemist Tells of Using Glue to Produce
Desired Effect.

A French chemist has discovered a
very simple and easy way to frost glass,
says the Practical Druggist. The meth
cd is to cover a tumbler or bottle or 9th
er glass object with a thin, smooth and
thoroughly laid on covering of glue. Eli
Their very good cabinetmaker's glue or
fish glue will serve perfectly. The only
care that must be taken is to see that
there are no air bubbles in the glue aft
er it has been applied and that the coat
ing is uniform and of even thickness
over the entire article.
Glue thus applied to glass sticks to it
very tightly. Then it begins to contract
as it dries. Now, its tight hold on the
glass prevents the layers of glue from
contracting without pulling at the glass,
and thus, little by little, ,ne glue Sits
and splits tiny fragments from the sur
face of the glass.
If certain salts are added to the glue
the effect is still more beautiful, because
then the splitting of the tiny fragments
is done in such a manner that the re-
suit forms a perfect resemblance to a
frosted window pane. A glass tumbler or
flask so treated becomes beautiful or

The phenomenon was one that | have

river frozen solid in a night. When we
arrived the waters of this stream, tum-

ing through the tortuous channels, made
a deafening roar. Gradually, but almost
lmperceptibly, the tumult decreased
while worn out after a hard day. we
fell asleep. A few hours later. when
we awoke, deathly silence prevailed,
and on looking out, to my intense sur
prise, | found that the rushing torrent
of the previous night had been trans
formed into a solid mass of ice In this
region of extreme temperatures l had on
other occasions seen torrents frozen. but
never under such startling conditions.
On looking round we found that every
thing we possessed was also frozen solid,
including our saddle of mutton, which
was merely a block of ice. We We're
ravenous, but we got no satisfaction
from gnawing at Jumps of rock which
ought to have been a succulent Joint.
and so, despite our hunger, we had to
content ourselves with a little tea-to
make which we melted ice-and a few
biscuits.
