HERE'S A JOB FOR ROOSEVELT
Circus Wants to Hire Him to Appear
With Its Rough Riders.

In the proposition of a Bridgeport
circus syndicate to President Roose-
welt is found one novel answer to the
question of what we shall do with
our eX-presidents, or at least what
We shall do with one of them. If
the proposition is accepted the result
will eclipse any trip across Africa
in search of faunal specimens.
Simply it is this: That President
Roosevelt shall reassume the garb of
his second most famous role, that of
Rough Rider, and at the head of an
organization that shall be known as
a Congress of Rough Riders" but
in which members of congress shall
have no part, shall demonstrate, I'M
der the auspices of the syndicate, the
usefulness of Rough Riders.
And the golden flow into the pock-
cts of the chief rider will compare
favorably with the dollar-a-word
proposition. His weekly stipend will
be the modest sum of $4,000 and
as the contract would call for a thirty
weeks performance he would receive
100000.

MAD LION TEARS IT'S KEEPER.
He Is Saved From Fearful Death by
Samuel Farkas of Albany.

With both arms mangled, the
back of his neck torn to ribbons and
cuts and bruises all over his body
Captain" Cardo, a well-known wild
animal trainer, is in a serious condi-
ton as the result of a savage attack
by mad lion late at night in the
animal show of a carnival that ex-
hibited in Albany last week.
Captain Cardo had made the ami
NAL go through its act, and was feed
ing it raw beef, when he tripped and
fell. In an instant the lion was upon
him, and he would have been almost
instantly killed but for Samuel Far
kas, prominent in Albany, who ran
from the audience and began jabbing
the brute in the face with a heavy
walking stick. Cardo was finally res
cued. He has high fever from his in
juries, which are causing him intense
suffering. The same lion killed a
woman six weeks ago.
A puma in the same show also at
tackled its trainer at night, ripping
open his forehead and nearly destroy
ing the sight of an eye.

TRAMPs TRAVELLED IN STATE.
Drank Up COlOnel's Wine and Slept
in a Nice Ced.

HI a NlCO SOus
Upon the arrival in Atlanta from
Vancouver barracks, Washington
state, of freight car loaded with
the household goods and personal
effects of Col. S. r. Jones, quarter
master of the Department of the
Gulf, it was discovered that three
tramps had occupied the car for the
greater part of it's trip and turned
it into comfortable travelling quar-
tiers.
They unpacked and set up bed
in which they slept, unpacked pic
lures and hung them on the walls
of the car, discovered some of the
colonel's night shirts and wore them,
drank from his wine glasses and then
smashed them, drank up a case of
claret, and evidently traded off prac-
tically his entire library while en-
route in order to obtain food.
The tramps left the car, it is said
somewhere between New Orleans and
Atlanta 1t is presumed they took
advantage of the opportunity to es-
cape the balance of the winter in
the cold northwest.

SOILS AND FERTILIZERS,
BY County Student at an Agricultural College
(CONTINUED.)

Next to nitrogen are phosphoric
acid and potash. This plant food is
not in the soil in as large quantities
as either of the other two clements
nitrogen or potash. The average soil
contains about 1000 pounds to the
acre for the first twelve inches.
There is but very little of this avail
able, but it can be slowly made so
by crop rotation and turning your
land deep in the Fall or Spring, and
blowing under vegetable matter.
There is enough phosphoric acid in
the soil to grow one bale of cotton
to the acre 222 years.
We want to learn how to utilize
the plant food already in the soil,
and save the cost of buying so much
fertilizer to make a crop. Adding
lime to the soil judiciously aids in
making some of the locked up stores
of plant food available This is es-
pecially true if your soil is acid or
sour. You can very easily tell when
your soil needs lime by removing

Bye-Bye 'Rare" Steak.
Often apparently healthy swine
are afflicted with the disease, and
such meats should be carefully ex-
amined. The germs are easily dis

small and of pea shape. The danger
of them may be avoided by all meats
being we'll cooked, as heat destroys
the life of the parasites. But the
heat applied to a rare" or "medi-

to rid it of danger, but trichina

One and a Half Million Deaths a
Year From tuberculosis.

Year From tuberculosis.
The number of deaths from tuber-
culosis in the world, says Van Nor
den's Magazine, is 100000 a year;
in the United States, 100000 a year;
per 100000 in the United States,

In 1852 cases examined in met
ropolitan hospitals 8,731, or Is $40
per cent. showed tubercule baciIli in
their sputum, and only 2,861, or
"a 40 per cent. showed no pres
ence of the germ.
AS evidenced in 1852 cases UNI

classification as to the severity of
consumption is as follows: Early

there is still hope for final recovery,

Now IT'S A HOG MEAT SCARE
aPELLAGRA" PUT BAN ON CORN
PONE; 'TRICHINA" BARS
THE COUNTRY HOG.

ATLANTA.-Above the terrors
produced by recent discussions OF
that new disease, "pellagra," rose
the worser horrors of "trichina" at
the state capitol this morning. If
promised discoveries anent the latter
are made and the dangers of it not
lessened by investigation country
pork must take its place with suspi-
cious eatables along beside corn
bread"
First Case.
The appearance of trichina was
first brought to the attention of the
state agricultural department by
Mrs. H. Strickland of Duluth this
morning. Several days ago she pur-
chased half portion of newly
slain hog. While preparing a detach-
ment for meal she discovered that
something was wrong with the
meat. Investigation disclosed for
eign growths in what otherwise ap-
peared to be perfectly healthy flesh.
The family physician was called in,
but he knew no name by which the
condition of the pork might be char
acterized. A young medical student
examined it, and pronounced the
complaint 'trichina" Encyclopae-
dias were searched, and they dis
closed the fact that the trichina para
site contains more horrors than
Dante's Inferno.
Scientists Explore Meat.
Mrs. Strickland promptly shelved
the pork for scientific inquiry, and
brought several slices to the scient-
lists at the state capital today. Dr..
R. E. Stallings, state chemist, and
b. L. WOrsham, state entomologist,

diagnosis.
Disease Found in Hogs.
Trichina is a disease usually found
in hogs. 1t is caused by a parasite
which must be taken internally.
When once in the body it multiplies
by hundreds, invades every part of
the system, particularly the muscles.
According to physicians there is no
known cure, and the only hope of
