Mexican and not an American is the SEN
sationaI story printed here to-day by the

This official claims that Edison's real
name is Thomas Away Olson, and that
the great inventor was born Of Mexican
parents at zacatecas In 1877, and says
that the register at that city will prove
his claim.
Edison's father. and mother shortly
after the sons birth moved 70 Ohio, he
says. and hence he is known TO the world
as an American. though being Mexi-
can both by blood and by birth. This au-
tkority SAYS that Edison has a number Of

tnat Edison was born there. Many Of

If President Roosevelt expects to
bag a really white rhinoCeros in Afri-
ca he is likely to be disappointed, for
there is no such thing, although there
IS a creature called by this name. says
4 writer. The animal is of Il yellow
1sh gray. not much lighter than ONE
of Its relatives that are not honored
with the name Of white"
1t is supposed that the hunters who
first saw the creature viewed it
against a very dark background and
in bright sunlight. Apart from its
color, however. the "white' ~rhinOceros
has some distinctive characteristics. 1t
is taller than others OF its kind, and
has a larger aud squarer snout. 1t is
more decidedly herbivoTous. One of
its two horns is sometimes dwarfed or
wanting, which gave rise. as early as
1913. to the fiction of an African one
horned species of rtinoceros. Besides
all this. the skin is closely covered
with small tubercles.
The animal, like all African big
game. has been rapidly disappearing.
and by 1890 it had vanished from
eastern Africa, except for a small re-
serve in Zululand. 1t is difficult to
approach. as it's scent is keen and its
gait rapid.

Hog Cholera or Swine Plague as 1T
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 a
tonic to the animal.
A. j. Mccarthy, Of ldaville, 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 1t with sue
cess. l have used it now for three
days and my hogs are almost we'll. One
hog died before l got the Liniment.

For people who are growing vege-

Ogt in the Rain.

The Indian fairly rcve!s in rain, de
clares G. w. James in his book, "Wha
the White Race May Learn from tho
Indian Indian women no more mind
the rain than they do that the SUI

for any evil effect from the wet, there
are no signs of it.
In the first place, they have no fear
OF the rain. 1t is not constantly in.
Stilled into their minds from childhood

Take cold This has something to do
with it.
In the second place, they move about
with natural activity in the rain as at

r--l@tins and prevents any lowering OF
the temperature of the body.
In the third place. their general out
door life gives them such a robustness
that If there is any tax upon the sys'
TEN it is fully ready to meet it.
Everything in nature loves to be out

its effects are beneficial, provided they
value health and vigor more than they
mind a little discomfort in the bedrag-
clement of their clothes.
