operated and peopled in an over
whelmingly feminine way. Lon
don alone employees over 50, 600
women clerks. This one occupa-
ton has passed almost entirely
into woman's hands. Formerly
women physicians were frowned
upon and unbelievable obstacles
placed in the way of acquiring
this profession. Now the demand
for woman doctors is greater
than the supply. Every position
is open to them. Even the posts
of house physician and house sur
geon in institutions are offered
to women. Some of the Boards
of Guardians are so pressed for
doctors that they have cast aside
prejudice and are importuning
women physicians to accept ap-
pointments. Infrmary doctors
(men) in the Whitechapel dis
trict have heretofore received
$500 per year, now ADVERTISE

women doctors, at a salaray of
$1,000 per year and emoluments.
Perhaps the most significant
change of all has been the ap-

HO1! TO SCALD A HOG

The hog should not be scalded
before life is extent, or the
blood vessels near the surface
Of the skin will be cooked giving
a reddish tinge to the carcass.
While being scalded the hog
should be moved constantly to
avoid cooking the skin. Occa-
sionaiIy it should be drawn out
o. tn. yseassst ato~eirH-when the
hair may be tried. As soon as
the hair and scurf slip from the
surface, scalding is complete. If
it is suspected that the water is
too hot, scald the hind end of the
hog first. If the water is too hot
and you overseald the head, you
will be adding to the trouble of
scraping the part most difficult
to clean. When the water is
about right, begin by scalding
the head.
The scraping and cleaning of
the hogs skin should be done as
as possible after removal of the
animal from the scalding vat.
Scraping a cold hog is difficult,
if not an impossible, task. Where
it is necessary to reverse the po-
sition of the hog in the barrel to
complete scalding should be
cleaned before attempting to
scald the other end of the hog.
When the hair starts readily,
remove the animal from the wa
ter and begin scraping. The
"bell'' scraper should be used
with a long, sweeping move
ment over the sides and ends
while the hog is still hot. The
head and feet should be cleaned
first, as they cool Quickly. Pull
the ears through the hands to re-
move the bulk of the hair. Grasp
with the hands the lower por-
tons Of the legs and twist to as
sist in cleaning them. Use the
''candlstick" scraper for remov-
ing the skin and scurf from the
fiat surfaces and as much as pos
slble from the other parts and
finish the cleaning of the entire
carcass, removing all hair, scurf,
and dirt by rinsing with hot wa
ter and shaving with the large
knife.
Cut the skin on the side Of the
tendons below the hook to ex-
pose the tendons so that a gam
brel stick may be inserted. The
next step is to hang the hog by
his hind legs by means of the
gambrel stick high enough so
that his head clears the ground.

ALFONSO VISITS AGED NOVELIST
Dean of Spanish Writers Is Interviewed by the King
 on the War

Santander. Spain, September To- (Correspondence of the Associated Press )-The King of Spain has just paid visit to the aged Spanish au- thor, Don Benito Perez Galdos, in this city. spending the day with the dean of Spanish novelists. Senor Perez Galdos has recently gone blind, though he continues his work, dictating his articles and novels to secretary.
 It appears that the King spent most of the time of his visit talking with the venerable author about the Euro pean war. Upon this subject they agree cordially. Alfonso XIII being in open sympathy with the allies and Senor Perez Galdos being one of the signers of the broadly manifesto of the Span ish intellectuals which appeared re- gently. as well as the author of a number of Francophile and Anglo phile articles in the Spanish newspa- pers.
 The novelist. at the Kings request, developed at some length the reasons for his sympathies in the present con- flict. The internal politics of Spain also came in for serious discussion Senor Perez Galdos having in his youth been active in politics and a deputy of the liberal party to the Cortes. He has. however. long since retired from active participation in political life. though he still writes political articles for the newspapers.
 His principal fame Is based on a series of patrioic works called Ma tional Episodes dealing with the wars or 1s7S74 and other historic periods in Spain's modern development, but he Is best known in the United States as the author of "Dona Perfecta."

Cutting Down Glasgow's Drink

Glasgow, september 12-(COrre- spondence of the Associated Press. In Glasgow public houses are now per- mitted to sell liquor five and half hours a day only The places are closed in the morning, when drink ing would unfit a workman for the entire day. Treating and the credit system are done away with and the practice of carrying drink away in bottles Is also forbidden. Although these new restrictions have been in force but a short time. they have al- ready resulted in a considerable de- crease in the arrests for drunkenness especially in the number of arrests of men. During the week precedin g the curtailment of the hours when the houses were open all day. 825 men were arrested for drunkenness and Ss women. In the first week that the re- strictions were enforced the number of men arrested for drunkenness was 210, but the number of women who were haled before the police courts for the same cause was S4, only four less than in the previous week.

The few wooden build ings of the plant have been added to until they now cover acres of ground, where some 4000 men and women are employed. The output has increased to So0O shoes. 5000 coats and several thou sands of pairs of trousers a day. Most of the men employees ar~ of military age and capacity.

SHAW IS TAKENl|N ]. BY BOGUS [. HERO
Story on Brilliant Irishman. Such Happenings of Ere
 quent Occurrence

London, September 14.-tSpecia1) There is. I hear. an uncommonly en- tertaining story, not much of which is likely to he told when the case comes up in court presently, behind a brief announcement. in the pressEhere that a man calling himself Capt Alexander Murray of the Black Watch, and posing as a V. c. hero and a recent winner of the D. s. O., and other mill itary honors. was arrested, after a lively struggle. at Paddington Station on arriving from Torquay, the fash ionable Devonshire seaside resort. on Friday afternoon last. The gallant captain who is said to be in reality one Sam Rutherford, pattern maker, is charged with fraud, theft imper- sonation and a few other things. He is also said to have represented himself as Sergeant and Lieutenant Ruther- ford and Captain Menzies and to have informed the police, as well as certain confiding persons at Torquay, that he had been summoned to London by the war office for the purpose of receiv ing his ". C." from the King.
 I have been told the full story of the ". c. hero's' exploits at Torquay by woman who was fellow guest with him at the Hydro hotel there. Among the other guests at this hotel, by the way, were Mir. and Mrs. George Bernard Shaw, who were by no means the least interested in the tale of Cap tain Murray's" valorous doings. On turning up at this smart caravanserie some days ago, the "captain," who was wearing the uniform of an officer of this rank in the Black Watch, and who sported four ribbons the V. C., D. $. O., the Indian frontier and another, lost no time in letting it be known that . he was to receive the Victoria Cross for the feat of having bayoneted, sin gle handed, 1 know not how many Ger mans in a trench
 The effect of this story on the hotel crowd was electric. The captain was it from that moment. When he smiled" observed my informant, "the entire company of some 90 persons. also smiler, did the captain frown, his admirers were correspondingly down. cast" Especially were the fair mem- bers of the company in ecstacies over the "hero" and the proud privilege of mending a slight tear in one of his kits and of sewing yet another rib- bon on his martial tunic is said to have created schsm between two of these ladies.
 Among other things, the festive cap tain told how his ancestral home. in the Scotch highlands, was besieged by reporters eager to get tho full de- . tails of his heroic achievement, and how one of these journalists was con- ducted out of the ground by the ear by a stalwart and devoted game keeper.
 "How should have liked to have seen that gamekeeper marching that penny-a- liner out." exclaimed the sol disant hero, and his worshippers shared in his chuckle at the humorous picture thus conjured up.
 No one was more impressed, so Aear than a certain member of the staff of the London illustrated journal, the By stander, who was among the crowd at

the hotel. Without losing time, this scribe industriously got together "full details" regarding the captains" V. O., and other exploits, and hurried his ar- ticle, accompanied by full-length DOT trait. off to London to be in time for the next issue. And then came the de- bacle!
 Announcing, as has been said, that he had been summoned to London to receive his "cross." and exhibiting a letter, purporting to come from the war office, to that effect, the captain" paid his bill (with a check) and winged his way to the metropolis. And then, to the stricken crowd at the Hydro hotel came the news of his arrest and of his incarceration, after two attempts to escape, at Paddington Green police sta ton. Result, a frantic telegram from the Bystander man to his editor to kill" the story, which was dragged out of the forms, l understand, only at the last moment.
 When arrested. Captain" Murray was carrying a sword case, containing a sword and two scabbards. When searched there was found on him an envelope addressed to Captain Murray, V C.. D. s. O.. Hydro. hotel, Torquay," and containing a letter purporting to come from the war office requesting
