HOG FEEDING is IMPORTANT
Experiments With Swine Show Thai
Mineral Elements Are Absolute
Necessity, Except for Fat

It Is quite common to furnish hogs
wood ashes, charcoal. salt and other
things of like nature, as it is thought
such things keep the animals in good
health. The experiment stations are
making a study of this matter, and
some interesting facts about the need
of mineral elements in animal diet
are given in bulletins POI and POI Of
the Ohio experiment station.
1t was shown by one of the expert
ments cited that 1t was possible to
kill animals quicker by removing the
mineral matter from their food than
to deprive them of all food. In ez'
periments with hogs, the use Of chalk,
bone -four, calcium phosphates and
other calcium salts gave good results
Wheat bran, clover and grasses supply
much mineral matter in addition to
the much-needed protein, so these
foods are relatively more important
than corn. except during the final nm
ishing period. when mostly fat
wanted.
Hogs are bringing long prices thea
days, and they certainly deserve goo0
care and the best we have In the wa!
of feed.

"You-You Moan You Would Shoot Me?" She Whispered

you're a crook. Just as I'm not a
man; I'm crook. We're equals, sex
less, soulless. You seem to have over
looked that. Amateurs often do. !.
Tonight made you fair proposition,
to play square with me and profit.
You chose to be naughty. Now you
see the other side of the picture"
Bravado? Or deadly purpose? How
could she tell? Her heart misgave
her; she crushed herself away from
him as from some abnormally vicious,
loathly reptile.
He understood this; and regarded
her with confident leer, inscrutably
strong and malevolent.
'And there is one other reason why
you will think twice before making a
row." he clinched his case. IF you
did that, and I weakly permitted the
police to nab and walk us off, the bust
ness would get in the papers-your
name and all; and-what'd Maitland
think of you then, my lady? What'd
he think when he read that Dan
Anisty had been pinched on Broad
way in company with the little woman
he'd been making eyes at-whom he
was going, in his fine manlike way,
to reach down hand to and yank
up out of the gutter and redeem and
and all that slush? Eh?"
And again his low evil laugh made
her shudder. Nov, you won't risk
that. You'll come with me and be-
have, guess, all right"
She was dumb, stupefied with mis-
cry.
He turned upon her sharply.
"Wen?"
Her lips moved in soundless assent
lips as pallid and bloodless as the
wan young face beneath the small
inconspicuous hat.
The man grunted impatiently; yet
was satisfied, knowing that he had
her now completely under control; q
condition not hard to bring about in a
woman who, like this, was worn out
with physical fatigue and overweight
with nervous strain. The conditions
had been favorable, the result was
prominently comfortable. She would
give him no more trouble.
The hanson swerved suddenly
across the car-tracks and pulled up at
the curb. Anisty rose with an ex.
clamation of relief and climbed down
to the sidewalk, turning and extending
a hand to assist the girl.
Gomez" he said, imperatively
We've no time to waste"
For an instant only she harbored q
fugitive thought of resistance; then
his eyes met hers and held them. and
her mind seemed to go blank under his
steadfast and domineering regard

''And I've been made a fool of just
as long as l can stand for it. I'm a

down. upon them, and past, making
night hideous with gong and drum

response. For which reason he chose
to repeat it, with added emphasis.
You try it on, my lady, and see
what happens"
she had no answer ready, and he
proceeded, after waiting a moment:
But you're not going to be such a
fool. You have no pleasure in the
prospect of seeing the inside of the
Tpmbs, yourself; and, besides, you
ought to know me well enough to
"What?" she breathed, in spite OF
herself.
Anisty folded his arms, thrustins
the right hand beneath his coat.

he announced, ironically He'd We

chose to play the fool and into my

Many Princeton People In Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.
There are scores of people who drag
out miserable existence without
realizing the cause of their suffering.
Day after day they are racked with
backache and headache; suffer from
nervousness, dizziness, weakness,
languor and depression. Likely the
kidneys have fallen behind in their
work of fltering the blood and that is
the root of the trouble. Look to your
kidneys, assist them in their work
give them the help they need. You
can use no better remedy than Doan's

mony from sufferer in this locality.

CIRCUIT COURTS TO GO.
New judiciary Code Abolishes Seven
ty-seven on Jan. Next.

New judiciary Code AboIishes Seven
ty-seven on Jan. Next.
In every state Of the Union there
will pass out of existence on Jan. 1
next a historic court practically as old
as the republic itself. On that day
seventy-seven United States circuit
courts will cease to exist at the 27G
different places where they have been
accustomed to meet.
The abolition of the circuit courts
was one of the reforms provided for in
the new judiciary CODE enacted By
congress on March 8, 1911, to become
effective on Jan. 1, 1912. The code
provides that after the latter date
there shall be only the district courts.
the nine circuit courts of appeal and
the supreme court. The existence of
the circuit courts since 1891, when the
circuit courts of appeal were created
has been regarded as expensive and
superfuous.
The twenty-nine circuit judges will
not lose their posts, as they will con-
tinue to sit in the circuit courts of ap-
peal and help the district judges. All
| the clerks of the circuit courts will
have their positions abolished At the
| same time restrictions will be placed
upon the amount that district court
clerks may draw as salary. Hereafter
no clerk can receive more than $500
| year.
The passing away of the circuit
courts is but one of the reforms of
the new code. After Jan. 1 the chief
justice Of the United States will re-
ceive $4,000 per annum and each as
sociate justice $4,000.

Grounds For Abrogation.
NEW STAMPS OUT.

Washington on Six Lowest, Franklin on
Five Highest Values.
Thirteen new postage stamps have
just been put in circulation. The is
sue amounted at the outset to 25,00O,-
600 two cent stamps and 100000
one cent stamps a day.
In the new designs instead of Frank
Inns face appearing on the one cent
stamp. as is the case now, the face of
Washington is on all Of the stamps of
the six lowest denominations The
five highest denominations-eig ten,
fifteen. fifty cent and one dollar-bear
the face Of Franklin. Besides the pic
ture OF Washington on the one cent
stamp. the number 81" is used. The
present design has the ''one' spelled
out. The same is true Of the two cent
stamp.
The new two cent stamp carries the
mineral ''2'' in each of the lower cor
ners. On the stamps Of three. four,
five and six cent denominations the
wreath surrounding the head Of Wash
ington, as on the two cent stamp, is
eliminated and the denomination print
ed in curved line above the head.
The bureau is now delivering large
numbers of new registry stamps to the
postofice department. The original
order is for 100000 They are be-
ing distributed throughout the coun-
try. There has been no great demand
for the registry stamp here, and some
trouble is anticipated in introducing
it. Postage stamps can be used for a
registry fee, but a registry stamp can
not be used as postage.
