PIGS LOSE THEIR FAT JOBS
New Haven Tries Hogs as Garbage
Removers, but They Cost Him
More Than Human Workers.

New Haven, Conn.-With grunts of
dissatisfaction it was announced here
that New Ravens elaborate plan for
the economical disposition of garbage
has proved a failure
On January LIST last the city law
makers, on looking over the bills for
collecting and disposing Of the gar
bage, were amazed to note that the
cost of the work was greater than. in
their estimation, it should be. They
met in solemn conclave and decided,
after a lengthy discussion, to buy a
drove of pigs, fatten them on the
pieces de resistance that had survived
meal hours land sell the husky pork
ers.
The pigs fell into the plan enthus-
iastically, but when the aldermen got
together they found that the expert
ment was costing at the rate of $4,000
a year, most of which represented the
investment in the pigs.

NEW WHEAT Is PERFECTED
Federal Expert, After Four Years Of
Experimenting, Makes important
Discovery in Chule.

Chico, Cal.-After four years expert
menting at the national introduction
gardens near this city a variety of
wheat known as chule, introduced in
to the United States from Turkestan.
H. E. Blanchard, western cereal ex-
pert of the department of agriculture,
has succeeded in separating a pure
white seed from the mixture which
has contaminated it practically ever
since it's introduction. In tests just
completed the new wheat has aver
aged fifteen to twenty bushels more
to the acre than the white Australian
variety, which is accepted as standard
by the farmers of the west. Mr..
Blanchard considers the segregation
of the new grain one of the greatest
forward steps in wheat culture in
many years.

INCUBATORS AID PIG GROWER
Pennsylvania Farmers Experiment
With Young Porkers Saves Their
Lives-Had Been Chilled.

Hinesdale, Pa.-Incubators as an aid
to pig culture are enthusiastically rec
commended by E. H. Karslake, a sue
cessful farmer who resides a few
miles north Of here in Wayne county
An experiment conducted by Kar-
Stake converted him, and it is probable
that puny little pigs ushered into be-
ing on his farm hereafter will get
their first glimpse Of the world
through the glass of his incubator.
Ninety chicks had been removed
from the incubator just before the
birth of a litter of pigs, two of which
were chilled and appeared to be dying.
He placed the small patients in the
warm, coy box, and in short time
they were kicking and squealing lus-
tily. In the meantime other members
of the new family showed signs of be-
ing chilled, and they, too, were placed
in the incubator
Karslake had no time to remove the
eggshells and other debris from the
incubator, and when two of his chill
dren returned from school and peep
ed in they saw something that caused
them to yell and run helter-skelter to
their mother. 1t was hard to convince
them that the pigs had not been hatch
ed from the chickens eggs.
The patients were removed from the
improvised hospital the next day. and
they are now in excellent health.

Many a mother has learned of a
way of avoiding sickness in her fam
lily, especially among the children, by
the use of free sample bottle of the
famous laxative, DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin. This offer of the doctors to
send free sample bottle has been re-
sponded to by thousands of women
in all parts of America.
DIR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
truly wonderful laxative and espe-
cially adapted to the needs of babies
and children because it is pleasant to
taste and no child will refuse it. Then,
it is mild and never gripes. 1t is all
that a child's remedy should be,
though it is a good laxative for the
whole family because it is effective
at all ages. 1t is not dynamic like
salts, pills and powerful cathartics,
which should not be given to chill
dren under any circumstances.

FREE REMEDY HELPS CHILDREN

Nine times out of ten when a child

actly what is the matter with it, It

You can buy it of any druggist at

latter being the family size, but you
are invited to make a test of it first
at the doctors expense. Send him

you a free sample bottle direct to

Some years ago there was a building and loan association started in Angels, the ostensible object being to help the rail- road men to own their homes.

When it died there was a considerable deficit, together with failure on the part of the executive committee to account for a pretty liberal cash balance"

 My duty is clear," said Lidgerwood. "Of course the Pacific Southwestern company isn't responsible for the side issue schemes of the old Red Butte Western officials. But want to do strict justice. These men charge the officials of the building and loan con- pany. with open dishonesty. There was a balance of several thousand dollars in the treasury when the explosion came. and it disappeared"
 "Wellr said the trainmaster.
 ''The losers contend that somebody ought to make good to them. They also call attention to the fact that the building and loan treasurer, who was neyes. able satisfactorily to explain the disappearance of the cash balance, is still on the railroad company's pay rolls.''
 McCloskey sat up and tilted his derby to the back of his head. "Grid- .ley?' he asked
 "No. For some reasons I wish it were Gridley. He is able to fight his own battles. It comes nearer home, Mac. The treasurer was Hallock."
 McCloskey rose noiselessly, tiptoed to the door of communication with the outer office and opened it with quick jerk. There was no one there.
 "I thought I heard something" he said. Didn't you think you did?"
 Lidgerwood shook his head
 hoc f, keepers office to check up the time rolls. He won't be back today"
 McCloskey closed the door and re- turned to his chair.
 "If I say what I think you'll be ask ing me for proofs, MT. Lidgerwood, and I have none. Besides, I'm preju- diced witness. I don't like Hallock"
 Quite unconsciously Lidgerwood picked up a pencil and began scrib- bling idly on his desk blotter. 'I don't want to do Halloek an injustice" he went o2, after hesitant pause; "ne3- ther do I wish to dig up the past for him or for anybody. was hoping that you might know some of the inside details and so make it easier for me to get at the truth. I can't believe that lHallock was culpably responsible for the dis appearance of the money"
 ''I am not fair witness" reiterated McCloskey. There's been gossip, and I've listened to it."
 About this building and loan mess"
 "No; about the wife"
 '"To Hallock's discredit, you mean?"
