Profit in Raising Hogs.

Judge S. P. Spalding was here
Monday on business. Judge Spald-
ing has had an experience in rails
ing hogs that demonstrates that a
practical man makes money when
he attends to his swine. During
the year 1911 Judge Spaldine had
the misfortune to have cholera
strike his swine herd. When the
battle was over he had seventeen
sows- twelve old ones and five gifts
= and one boar shoat left. He has
not bought a hog since that time.
During the year 1912 he sold $795
worth of hogs, the product of these
seventeen sows, killed thirteen big
ones for meat and lard and has one
hundred hogs left. We call that
some management and some hog
raising.
VIM. A. Conn, west of New Lon
don. had a similar experience. In
1911 he lost all his hogs save a little
red gilt. During the past year, from
this one little gilt, he has raised and
sold 1922 worth of hogs and has
eleven on hand that will average
about 1870 pounds each, besides his
sow. That is going some, too. Let's
hear the experiences of other hog

disease carriers are isolated from
normal people. they cease to spread
the disease in question. The nor
NAL people then have no means of
coming in contact with the infec-
ton. This may be illustrated by
the work done in some of the large
State Hospitals where formerly ty-
phoid fever was present a great por-
ton of the year All of the patients
were examined and the typhoid car
riers detected and put in a ward so
that they no longer came in contact
with the normal patients. Typhoid
fever then ceased to develop.
This is conclusive demonstration
of the danger of typhoid carriers
in the community and the possibili-
ty of preventing typhoid fever by
isolation of the typhoid carriers.
naturally In community the ty'
phOid carriers. even when detected,
cannot be isolated. The question is
what should be done with them
There are two ways of dealing with
them so that they may not be a
menace to society. First, teach
them how to protect well people
from coming in contact with infect
ed matter arising from their sys-
tens; second, treat them with the
purpose of freeing them from dis
ease germs so that they again be-
come normal people.

Ella Ewing, Tallest Woman in the
World Dies.

Quincy, ILL.,, Jan. TO-. Ella Ewing,
the Missouri eiantess, said to be the
tallest woman in the world, died at
her home near CORN, Mo-, not far
from this city. today at the age of
40 years Miss Ewing was s feet 8
inches tall and for many years trav-
eled with the circuses as a freak
attraction.
She was well known in Knox
county and northeast Missouri in
general. She appeared in practi-
cally every town in that portion OF
the state, including Hannibal.
The giantess was born and raised
in Knox county and proudly claimed
that she was the tallest woman in
the entire world. Her services as a
freak attraction for services were in
demand throughout the country.
She received big salaries during her
career in the show world.
Arrangements for the funeral are
being made A specially built cask-
ct win be required for her remains
which will probably be buried in

bride. Many a bad accident has
been traced to the throwing of rice
and old slippers. Like other old
customs, it may be modified with
benefit.
Confetti, the earliest substitute
for rice, is less painful. but newer
and more poetical are flower petals
to throw after the bride. These
may be bought from the florist, or
can be fashioned from tissue paper
A pretty idea is to use petals of the
brides favorite flower. They may
be heaped on big salver and pass
ed among the guests while the bride
is changing her frock.
Another novelty for the safe and
sane good luck speeding are tiny
horseshoes, slippers, hearts and rab-
bits feet and other charms cut in
silver paper. These can be bought
but are easily prepared at home.
They are cunning when used as
place card favors in small paste
board boxes. An extra supply of
the wedding cake boxes, marked
with the initials of the bride and
groom. may be ordered for this pur-
pose.
One original maid of honor pre-
pared soft balls for the wedding
party, made of cotton covered with
silvered paper, on which were paint
ed various notices appropriate to
the occasion. A slipper of silver
paper, marked with the initials of
the bride and groom, and the date
of the wedding. was prepared for
each of the bridal party and passed
on a tray while waiting for the bride

were seen to dodge when they read
it. The identification is as complete
as it was in the case of the poker
player, a one eyed man, who was
suspected of cheating. Another
man at the table stood it as long as
he could and then courteously re-
monstrated: i do not mean to be

Low 10 the west The sunsets roses
Brighten ard fade as the long day
closes.
| am cold and weary and half afraid,
In the dusk of the lonely valley;

Lest the ghosts and shadows rally.
Dark before me the village lies,
Silent against the paling skies
But suddenly out of the gloom be-
fore,
see the home lights burning,
Good cheer streams out from an
open door,
To welcome the one returning:
And all forgotten the lonely way,
| am safe at home at the close of
day.
Life is a journey toward fading skies,
And oft does the stout heart
tremble,
When sorrow and trouble like spec
tiers rise.
And the ranks of woes assemble.
We are travellers all, and the night
is chill,
And the way is lonely and up the
hill
But some time, out of the dark and
cold,
Where we wander alone and
weeping.
A light will break, and a gate unfold.
And out of it music sweeping
Then all forgotten the lonely way,
Home at last, and the break of dayl
