HOGS TAIL woRrH $500.
He is Immune From Cholera And
Yields Serum to Save Others.

Just think of~a hog whose tail alone
is worth over $4,000!
The Missouri experiment station
has such hog, but since the tail is
now nearly gone, the hog is nearly
worthless.
This animal grunts to the name Of
Hyperimmune No. 81, the Omaha
world-Herald says. During his short
career over ten gallons of serum
for the prevention of cholera has
been secured from him by means of
clipping off a small piece Of this po-
sterior appendage and catching the
blood as it dripped out.
1t is represented by scientists that
the severed end of the hogs tail will
bleed just enough to relieve the ami
NAL of the surplus. When all the blood
has run out that the swine can affor,
to lose, then the tail will quit bleed
ing.
Mr.. Hyperimmune No. % was in
the habit of getting his tail tapped
every ten days. On each occasion he
was relieved of about three pints of
serum.
This serum was sent out over the
state to farmers and served to inoc-
ulate 1866 hogs. 1t was estimated that
over so per cent of those hogs were
saved from the cholera. The hogs av.
eraged about 100 pounds in weight and
We're worth four cents per pound.
You may figure it up. Total. over
Sc. 900.
The immune hog is one that has
had the cholera and has recovered. In
doing this he has developed an anti
toxin in his system, which, when In.
troduced into other hogs. will resist
the cholera.
But this immune hog is made hyper
immune by taking the antitoxin from
the blood of other immune hogs and
introducing it into his system. This
process is kept up until the hyperim
mcne is converted into a vast vat oil
immunity, or of antitoxin.

IApAN IN koREA.

An absolutely effete civilization,
such as Korea illustrates, stands in

mere formal protectorate can be in
any way efficient. Japan has Just

self-preservation, saved this ancient

He was Mary Elizabeth's little bird,
and il was Mary Elizabeth who said
to him over and over Sing a happy,
song, little bird"
In summer while the cage hung on
the porch out doors. many man and
woman smiled when they heard the
happy song of that little bird. In
winter. sad-looling friends who came
to call sometimes forgot the troubles
that made them sad when they heard
the wee pets bubblng song. 1t did
seem as II chat particular bird would
never be forgotten.
There came a time. however, when
Mary Elizabeth went to Europe with
her father and mother She couldn't
take the bird. A neighbor who haa
no cats offered to keep him until
Mary Elizabeth's return Before the
child sailed she gave her pet bit OF
advice:
Always sing happy song, little
bird"
AT first it was easy for the little
bird to sing happy song; but one
day his kind friend was Obliged TO
leave town for week, and ne was
left with strangers who promised
to take good care OF him.
Always sing a happy song, little
bird" were the last words the neigh
Dor said at parting.
Soon after there was a childrens
entertainment In the church, to which
birds were invited. Mary Eizabeth's
pet was taken in his cage, and of all
the glad songs that day his was the
sweetest. He enjoyed the entertain
ment thoroughly, and when night
came be tucked his head under his
wing and went to sleep without fear
He didn't know. poor little fellow,
that the child who brought him lent
him to her dearest friend to take
aome and keep for five days; neither
did he know that one by one the
birds were taken from the church.
and he was forgotten.
Next morning the little bird awoke.
sang a happy song, ate his breakfast,
and sang happy song. His cage
was In a pew where little girl had
left him. The bird couldn't see the
sunshine streaming through stained
glass windows, but while waiting for
his bath he sang a happy song No
one came TO give the little bird his
bath, SO he sang another happy song.
This is the part of the story Mary
Elizabeth never liked TO think OF for
a minute; how the little bird sang I'M
til his seed was gone and the water
in his cup; how two days passed ana
the little fellow tucked his head I'M
der his wing, and knew that he was
forgotten.
The third day the organist came to
practice on the pipe organ. The lit
tie bird lifted his head when music
pealed through the church. He had
never heard anything like it.--so
sweet, so solemn. When 1t was over
the weak little bird must have re.
membered Mary Elizabeth's advice:
Sing happy song, little oird
AS the organist was pass ug TO the
outer door she heard a happy song.
And Mary Elizabeth's pet was found
before it was too late. The organisL
had known Mary Elizabeth since she
was a baby, so of course sac reccg-
nized the brave little bird. who was
never again forgotten.
Mary Elizabeth is big girl IN high

aged, ana everything seems to go
wrong, she remembers the advlc9

A DOUBLE CHIN.

How to Get Rid of One by Paying At
tention to Diet and Exercise.
If you have a double chin you must
give up the wearing Of tight collars,
as they never fail to give one the bag
gy pouch Of the confirmed double chin.
See to it that your stocks are loose and
not very high. If your neck is not too
thin for the fashion make a practice of
wearing the collarless dresses so popu-
lar now. They will give your throat
an opportunity to bend and turn, and
In this way the muscles get the needed
exercise. Tight high collars hold the
throat as in wise, and the muscles
underneath the chin become fabby.
Eating between meals and late at night
is sure to cause double chin and
very often triple chin. If you eat
lobster a la Newburg or perhaps a
sweet just before retiring you will be
sure to wake up next morning with
an extra layer Of flesh under your
pretty chin.
A strenuous exercise warranted to
reduce chins is as follows: Stand erect
in front of your mirror. put hand on
either hip and take deep breath, fill
ing the lungs to the fullest extent.
Hold the breath and hit your extra
chin ten sharp blows with the back of
your hand. Strike hard enough to
make the tears come to your eyes.
Now exhale. Once more inhale and
slap the unwanted folds of flesh with
your left hand. If you will practice
this exercise for five minutes every
morning the extra chin will melt away
in a very short space of time.-New
Idea Woman's Magazine For June.

A VERY PLEASANT HOME.
All Because Of the Way He Solved the
Closet Space Problem,

/ ~ N'iC Ndy TIC 0OtNCQ tu0
Closet Space Problem.
must tell all my brothers how my
wife and 1 have solved the problem
which so bothers those who dwell
where there is but little closet room.
With one dressing case between us,
there was not room for all our things.
AS to the closets, they were crammed
full, and even under the bed there
were many hat boxes. So l purchased
another dressing case.
l then took all my clothes, which
had been crowding my wife's in her
dressing case, and arranged them in
my own. In the top drawer l put my
handkerchiefs, collars and ties and
all those other little articles Of finery
which every man loves so much. In
the second drawer l placed my shirts
and underwear and devoted the lower
drawer to my trousers, neatly folded,
and my hosiery. My wife was de-
lighted, as it gave her her own dresser
all to herself and relieved the closet
somewhat.
But in day or so the new plan
proved to have a few defects, so at my
wife's suggestion l emptied one of the
upper drawers In my dresser, putting
its contents into the other and allowed
my wife to use the now vacant recep-
tacle for a few of her jabots, scarfs,
etc. The second day 1t was decided
that my shirts and trousers could oc-
cupy the same drawer, the lowest one,
SO this was fixed, and into the second
drawer my wife moved a few of her
petticoats and such things.
Soon finding that l was still using
too much space, / permitted her to put
my collars and such effects into the
lowest drawer with my trousers, ETC.,
thus giving her both of the upper
drawers and the next and still leav-
ing me plenty of room in the one bot
tom drawer
Since then. however, l have found
that l do not require so much space
for my few things, so have taken them
out Of the bottom drawer and packed
them into a hat box, which l keep
under the bed, thereby giving my
wife all the drawers in my dressing
case. / find the present arrangement
very satisfactory, as all l have to do
now is to empty the hat box on the
bed when 1 want anything in it and
then, when l have made my selection,
sweep the other articles back into
place.
In this way have solved the dress
ing case problem, and everything is
quite pleasant in our home.-Paul West
in Delineator.
