BOYS MAKE $50 PROFIT
ON 8 ORDINARY HOGS
RUN 1870 POUNDS INTO 900 IN IL
MONTHS TIME.

MACON, February 3.-Carl, Mar
win and Hobart Cox, three brothers
living in East Macon have demon
strated that they can manke mnney
on pigs. The figures below will tell
for themselves.
These were just ordinary scrub pigs
for which they paid $3.50 a piece at
three months old, and weighed from
SO to 90 pounds each. By proper at
tention and good feed, these pigs were
pursuaded to weigh around 800
pounds each at II months old. They
were offered 6 l-2c per pound gross
for their pigs and this seemed so small
they decided to dress them and make
them up into good, old-fashioned
Country sausage and sell them along
with the by-products that they got
out of the hogs, selling them direct to
the consumer
They had no trouble at all finding

A Distinctive Reason

What is the chief reason for the superb
ority of Royal Baking Powder?
There are several good reasons, but there
is one which distinguishes Royal from other
baking powders.
This reason which every woman should
know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made
from cream of tartar, which comes from
grapes. This means healthful fruit origin.
1t means natural food as distinguished from
.,-.~l substitutes used in other baking
powders.
There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal
Baking Powder.

HONEST GIRL RETURNS
$500 AND GETS $4,000
Story of New Brunswick IN. J.)
Teachers Act Reaches Coast,
Where Cousin Made Her Heir.

New Brunswick, n. J.-Once more
pointed morals which adorn the tales
on the shelves of Sabbath school IL
braries have been upheld. Honesty is
at times the best policy, and Miss
Ethel Adele Wood can prove 1t. Peo-
pie called her prescriptions when she
returned to the board Of education
5000 which she felt she didn't earn.
Now they're calling her lucky since
she realized $4,000 by her investment
The board Of education was paying
Miss Woods expenses in a training
school for teachers of defective chill
dren. She left to take another posi-
ton and returned to the board the
price of her instruction. Such unusual
honesty was featured in the New
Brunswick papers. One of these, no
one knows how, reached the Pacific
coast. Recently a letter from Los An
geles informed the upright girl that
she was heir to $4,000 through the
death of her cousin. William B.
French. Thus was virtue rewarded.

court, but the defendant was dismissed.
"Well, that was the beginning of my
troubles" Mcmahon said. 1.-THE police

allow them, and now have only $500
left out of the 81, 100 which l got when

people said tie courtship in its serious
phase had sta ted only two months be-
fore their marriage
Three days after deciding to enter
the matrimonial sea we came to New
York" Mrs. Fisher said. "and our orig
inal plan was to be married in Jersey
City. Dut We were told that a twenty
four hour interval between the license
and the marriage was required in Jer-
sey, so we telephoned Captain Talbert,
the chief of police at Greenwich, and
he said TO come right ahead.
I'VE set out shortly after dinner and
after driving through the rain arrived
In Greenwich about 2 o'clock. Captain
Talbert received us at the town hall,
but at that late hour the justice of the
peace, who was necessary to the cere-
mony, refused to be Weakened. So we
waited in the town hall"
about O'clock" said Mr.. Fisher,
I'VE all decided we were quite hungry
and went out and had ham and at a
lunch wagon, this being the only thing
in sight resembling a restaurant.
when the day got under way the
justice of the peace appeared and we
were married. We started back to
New York and had real breakfast"

ture actress, and Ray Howard of New
York were the witnesses. The clipping
was done in Mr.. Towards limousine.
There was no particular objection
to our getting married" said the bride,
but we feared Earl might soon have
to go to China in connection with his
work, aud we weren't taking any
chances"
