TAKING CHANGES
TO PUT THRILLS
IN THE MOVIES

That the motion pictures in the
making often reuqire the players to
face real and serious danger, and ev-
en- the possibility of sudden death, is
a feature of the movies that few per-
sons realize. The popular notion is
that any act involving danger is
"faked'-that in a fall, for instance,
the actual fall is made by a dummy
and not by a living player. This was
true of the motion picture making Of
the past, and to a limited extent is
true even at the present time. Some
of the feats shown on the screen could
never be performed by a living per-
son without the certainty Of death.
But competition between the leading
producers has become SO keen and the
taste of the public SO exacting, that
a thrilling act must as a rule be per-
lection of realism, and this usually
means that it must be the real thing.
How the players go to the limit of
safety-and beyond-in meeting this
requirement is shown in a number OF
pictures appearing in the August Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine.
One of the most daring of these
feats is a fall now being shown in one
Of the big plays. The actor is seen
standing on a balcony 20 #. above the
ground. Suddenly he clutches at his
breast as if shot and pitches backward
off the balcony, turning over during
the descent. This entire act is per-
formed by a living actor who makes
falling his business and who is said
to have fallen a total Of mor than
five miles in the past three years. In
an act like this, the actual tumble
would formerly have been made by
dummy, and the effect of continuity
in the pictures would have been given
by stopping and starting the camera
at just the right instants as the dunn
my was substituted for the actor and
as the actor took his position on the
ground in place of the falling dummy.
Anther act of startling nature is
that of a fugitive dropping from a
signal bridge to the top of a moving
locomotive. This feat was performed
without injury to the actor while the
locomotive was running at a speed of
Il miles an hour. A fight on the
pilot of a locomotive was staged with
the locomotive running at a speed Of
20 miles an hour and the pictures were
made from the rear of a train ahead.
A single careless movement of either
of the actors might easily have result
ed in the death of one or both.

CHOLERA IS
NOT THE ONLY
HOG DISEASE

The Importance of a correct dag
nosls, where hog cholera is suspected,
cannot be overestimated, says DR.. H.
Preston Hoskins, Of the Minnesota
Experiment Station. Hog cholera SER
UNI, administered to a herd thought to
be infected with cholera, but in reality
suffering from some other disease, US
ually means time and effort wasted,
and, if the treated hogs keep on dying,
dlstrust the serum treatment. Ex-
cept in very unusual cases, either a
positive or negative diagnosis of chol-
era can be made, if there is an oppor-
tunity for a post-mortem examina-
ton. In doubtful cases a post-mor
tenn is always proper,
just as soon as it is noticed that a
hog is sick, it should, be separated
from the herd and kept isolated until
the exact nature Of the trouble can be
determined. .qA
Diseases which are most frequently
mistaken for hog cholera are intesti-
nal worms, various digestive distur-
Dances, lung worms,iiinfamation of the
bowels and necrobacillosis. The last
named disease is caused by the same
germ that is responsible for sore
mouth and bull-nose of pigs, and has
peer unusually prevalent in the state
this year. Most of the confusion of
the two diseases arise from the fact
nat in some cases pigs affected with
necrobacillosis will show the specified
appearance of the kidneys which has
been looked upon as SO characteristic
Of hog cholera.
Hog cholera serum is of no value
in combating any disease except hog
cholera.

FRANK AKERS DEAD.

Frank Akers, 33 years old, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Akcrs, died at his
home here last Friday night. Funeral
and burial services were conducted by
Revs. Platt and Arrowood on Sunday
afternoon. Interment was made in
the new cemetery.
The following tribute was written
by one who knew him intimately, and
read at the funeral by one of the min
listers, and handed us with the request
for publications:
"lf Frank Akers had been a neigh
Dor of Robert Burns his passing would
have inspired a poem; for he had all
the qualities of heart and mind SO
much admired and so sweetly praised
by the great Scottish poet. If an hon
est man is the noblest work of God,
he was one of the Makers finest crea-
tions. In the sphere in which he was
created to live he moved like a king.
Like the village blacksmith in Long
fellows poem, he looked the whole
world in the face for he owed not
any man. AS he lies now at rest at
the end of his brief life of thirty,
three years of honest and unceasing
toll, it can be said truly Of him that
he left no task unfinished and that
not once in all his life did he slight or
shirk the work his hands found to do.
He labored with conscience and an
aim and was always to be found in
front. He wrought the best he could.
Gone of his finest attributes was q
noble independence of mind. His
simple, strong soul was never degrad.
ed by charity.
"He was loyal, truthful, brave and
industrious. His energy was uncon,
querable and fidelity to duty was as
living spring flowing from his heart,
glorifying all the labor of his hands,
Toll only makes the soul to shine,"
and his brave soul shone with
steady radiance, even after the light
had faded from his eyes, and he crop
ed in darkness among the scenes of
his labors and his love.
"In his blindness and his last sick
ness he was not heard to whimper or
complain. He bore his misfortunes
with the fortitude and heroism Of o
Viking. He died as he had lived, un-
ashamed and unafraid. Of the sweat
of his brow did he eat bread and care
for those he loved; he has crossed the
river and is at rest in the shade of
the trees"
