Boy Scouts New Law

Copies of the revised boy scout oath
and law, as drawn up by the national
committee on Standardization, OF
which Professor Jeremiah w. jerks,
of Cornell university. is chairman,
have been issued by James E. West,
national executive secretary of the
scouts.
The most notable changes appear
ing in the new code are the addition
Of requirement 10 and IL to the quail
fications of a first class scout, and d
change in the second clause of the
scout law
Formerly this clause called for 10y
atty to employers. The objections OF
fathers of scouts affiliated with labor
unions led to the substitution of the
present form.
The revised scout vow, which must
be taken by each boy on joining the
organization. is now as follows:
ON my honor l will do my best
I. To do my duty to God and my
country.
-. To help other people at all
times.
SO To obey the scout law.

GOOD NEWS FOR
CATARRH SUFFERERS

So many hundreds of catarrh vic
tins who have taken the Hyomei
treatment have written thanking us
for publishing our method of taking
the Hyomei vapor treatment in con-
nection with the inhaler that We
gladly publish 1t again.
The vapor treatment Is especially
recommended in stubborn cases Of
chronic catarrh of long standing, but
remember that the inhaler should be
used daily as usual.
This treatment only takes five
minutes time before going to bed.
Pour a teaspoonful of Hyomei into
bowl of. boiling water. cover head
and bowl with towel and breathe for
several minutes the vapor that
arises.
You will be surprised at the result
of this treatment; it makes the head
feel fine and clear; you will sleep
better, and that stuffed up feeling
will gradually disappear.
This method will break up the
worst cold in the head in one night.
A bottle of Hyomei costs so cents
at the Harper house pharmacy who
guarantee it. Complete outfit, which
includes the little pocket inhaler,
costs ST.
No stomach dosing! just breathe

II 1t be true that ancient remedies
are always the best it may be of in
troubles to know how the ancient
Romans dealt with such ills. The Out
rifles recognized two types Of treat
ment, the magical and the medical.
The following are some of the prescrip-
tons advised by the magicians:
Take the head OF a dog that has
died Of rabies. mix the ash with oil OF
cyprus and inject the product into the
ear OF the affected side.
A water snakes vertebra win serve
to scarify the gum provided that 1T be
obtained from a white skinned snake.
or for the same purpose may be used
a lizards frontal bone obtained when
the moon is full, or, if that fail, q
chicken bone will do, provided that it
be dried in hole in a wall and thrown
away Immediately after used.
1t is good treatment to inject into
an aching ear oil of lemon in which
have been macerated dow bugs, even
should this last give rise to itching.

WOULD-BE BURGLAR
CAUGHT BY POLICE
Antonio SigaIa Accused of Unlicensed
Exploration of a Hotel Room.

Antonio Sigala is in the county jai
and this morning in Justice John
stones court will face a charge of
attempted burglary of the Ford hotel
annex, on the night of October 9th.
He was apprehended Tuesday night
by Police Officers Hosmer and Brad
ley in raid upon the home of a
Mrs. Robes. somewhat notorious
character who has hitherto figured
in the police records and who was
also arrested, for keeping a disorderly
place
Sigala was formerly a dishwasher
in the employ of the Ford hotel on
the night of the 9Th he was seen by
a couple of bellboys in the act of
going through the pockets of guest
Of the annex, though he was fright
ened away before he stole anything.
His identity was reported to the po-
lice, who knew him. and knew that
in the course of natural events he
would be located. probably at the
Robles house After his arrest he
was identified by the benboys who
saw him in the guest chamber.
The Robes woman will doubtless
be taken care of by the city court.
but in her case there is the perplex-
ing situation Of three minor children
to be cared for in the event she is
kept in Jail

desirable. The little pigs should be

Quotations From Some of Actual Prac-
tices Followed by Successful Hog
Raisers-Some of Difficulties
Encountered.
(By G. Il. ALFORDl

The following quotations give some
Of the actual practices followed by
successful hog raisers and suggest
some of the most serious obstacles
likely to be encountered
In speaking of raising hogs for pork,
Mr.. Foster of Louisiana says:
Il think two litters should be raised
where winter pasture can be had
cheaply; otherwise only a spring lit
ter to be turned off at eight or nine
months. In feeding breeding sows,
simply see that they are improving in
flesh and strength and have laxative
food before farrowing. If pasture
does not keep their bowels in good
condition, feed bran or cottonseed
meal for short time previous to far
rowing. On our plantation l put up
$4,000 pounds Of green bacon last
winter at a cost of a little less than
3 cents per pound on corn and alfalfa
pasture, charging corn at 40 cents'per
bushel and pasture at SIS per acre,
but charging nothing for fencing, shell
ters or labor, as the pasture (40
acres) furnishing a great deal Of feed
for my colts, mules and COWS. The
greatest obstacle to success, / think,
is disease caused in majority Of
cases by crowding too many hogs to-
gether and disregarding sanitation. I
never keep more than three or four
litters, having my pasture subdivided
by portable fences into small lots of
one-half to one acre each, with a
cheap shelter in each lot. 1 never
saw all Of a large bunch Of hogs do

a drove the better"
Professor Duggar of Alabama:
1.-TWO litters year are practicable
and profitable.
The principal obstacles to success
are:
"(a) The want Of a market at
steady prices. We need packing
houses.
"Cb) The attempt to make corn,
which is high-priced in most southern
communities, the main or sole food
for the hog. We need special hog
crops and pastures prepared especial-
ly for hogs.

center Of Zach step a small groove
is cut, as shown by the darts lead
ing to B. These should be one-fourth
inch wide and about one-eighth Of an
inch deep so that when the two pieces
are fastened together each step has a
one.fourth-inch hole its entire length.
The grooves should be as smooth
and straight as possible, but can be
cut with an ordinary pocket knife If
no other tool is at hand.
Fasten the lower ends Of the boards
together with a small bolt, as shown
in the left-hand figure; hold the top
together with the left hand, set the
device where wanted and drop the
wire In the top hole; drive it down
to the wood, lift the device and place
the wire in the next hole, and so on
until the last hole Is reached.
In this manner a very small wire
may be driven in the ground without
bending, as only six inches of same Is
above the wood at one time. Splice
the ground wire and connect same to
each wire of the fence and you
will have a frst-class lightning ar

The dista zee apart these ground
wires should be placed is a question
the writer places them every eight or
ten rods.
