Mortality, the Anti-Race Suicide club, and all the other organizations which good wives and model mothers be- long to.
 Dolly would find Mrs. Pig one of the most interviewable of inter view-ees."
 She'd probably describe her thusly:
 "I found Mrs. Pig very good look ing and quite smartly dressed; her hair is that lovely Titan shade which bespeaks the fiery temperamental fe- male who has swayed empires and C1eopatra-like, wrecked kingdoms. Her figure (and in spite of her large family, she has kept it intact, and a person who keeps her figure and her husband has done all that can be ex- pected of one poor human being) is just the proper "model" for the fluffy, dressy creations that Dame Fashion decrees for today Her straight intelli- gent back slightly arched and her long, dropping shoulders and broad chest, make her an ideal size and build to wear a perfect ''36' without altera- tions.
 Your views on suffrage?' was the first question asked Mrs. Pig.
 I've never wanted the vote," she said in decidedly porcine tones i've got voter and that's the best thing that any female can have. My large family demands my entire attention. While I am at home with the little Tamworths, papa is out making liv- ing for us, and what with planning

meals and getting a nice, comfortable place for my 'bitties to sleep, I've just about all the duties that any one creature can perform"
 Are you musical? Will you join any of the musical clubs?" was asked. GA beautiful "grunt," in a deep con tralto tone suggested the question:.
 q should like to belong to a choir" she replied, but I'm afraid I could not qualify, as the only songs I ever sing are 1ullabies.' You see, when you have a large family the things you think most about are the things that will please papa and the chil- dren.'
 Finding that Mrs. Pig was home maker and not d home breaker (she doesn't believe in this affinity proposi- tion), Dolly reminds her that these views are all quite out of date; very good for the country, but very slow for the city. However, it doesn't change the current of thought which Mrs Pig possesses and for answer to other very pertinent questions Dolly" gets nixie for a reply.
 Human pigs have been often inter viewed by the delectable Dolly" but this would have been the first time in her short but eventful career that she had interviewed" real pigs, and her reflection when the ordeal was over would probably be quite concise and to the point, agreeing forcibly with Ellis Parker Butler that:
 Pigs is pigs''-no matter where or how.

 Figures are already reported so great as almost to stagger the imagination. They are pointed to as comparing favor ably with the extraordinary and sudden increase in the production of iron and steel commodities and in the marketing of those commodities. It is spoken of this morning as almost incredible that the copper properties with which John D. Ryan is identified are likely to produce m the year 1916 somewhat in excess of 60O- 00e0OG pounds of copper. Arizona was reported to have produced in 1915 about 450000,000 pounds, and Montana according to the latest authoritative figures, pro duced in 1915 266,0OO,OOO pounds, approxi- nately The increase promised from Mon tana is so large that many are inclined tc think there may be some mistake in the figures,

 After a lot of difficulty he borrowed a shabby silk hat from his village audi ence Turning it upside down to prove to them there was nothing inside. he next placed it brim uppermost on his little table and proceeded to produce F eggs from it's depths.
 The audience watched with goggling eyes. and then burst into wild applause.
 And now.' the magician went on. lowing his thanks, T will show you that, although the hat is empty. there is in- side it the hen that laid those eggs.
 Putting his hand into the hat, he with drew a fluttering, squawking' fowl, which nc placed on the table. and turned to to face the applause.
 Instead there was wild yell of laughter. He turned in arnaxement which changed to horror when the fowl shrieked:

PICK THEM OUT
 ON CITY STREETS x- Ladies and Also Men With Vitalitas Compilations.
 Use of Earth Fluid

"Vitalitas complexions" are to be seen on the streets of tswns and cities through out the south. These complexions are not artificial and there is nothing else like them except the bloom of nature itself. All the beauty doctors and all the cosmetics in the world cannot dupli- cate them They tell of rich blood, of steady nerves and of proper digestion. One of the marvellous things about this new complexion is that it is being worn by many who were invalids; who for years were emaciated, enemic and who suffered with rheumatism, indigestion or some chronic kidney or liver disease. In Vitalitas they not only found relief but return to rosy health.
 Vitalitas is natures best corrective and tonic; it assists in speedily cleansing and revitalizing the system and it attacks diseased and impotent tissues throughout the body and begins the work of correc- ton. Many of the most stubborn diseases that defy medical skill are swept away by Vitalitas. Cures are constantly being reported where all earthly help had been abandoned 1t has no harmful ingredient "a child or delicate invalid may take it.

tions is inferred from the fact that not long after his return from London last year, as well as the return of his part ner Henry P. Davison, intimations were published of negotiations for the estab- lishment in the United States of so- called loan, really a credit of $5,000,000, to which Great Britain and France were jointly one of the parties.
 The explicit announcement by the house of J. P. Morgan that his visit to London was not for the purpose of negotiating new British loan was instantly accepted as the truth. since announcements by this house have always been found to be fully justified by the event. That it was neces- sary to make the announcement is re- garded as indicating that if MT. Morgan were in consultation with men of finance of Great Britain 1t is well for the pub lie to know that consultation was not for the purpose of having minds meet re- specting a new loan or a new credit. There is nothing new in the intimation by the house that mobilization of Amer ican securities by Great Britain is not only satisfactory, but surpasses the first expectation, for members of the house have frankly said that one of the most difficult, as we'll as one of the greatest, of financial undertakings the world has ever known will become traditional by the manner in which Great Britain has worked the problem of mobilizing Amer ican securities.

If the society columns had recorded the arrival yesterday of MT. and Mrs. Tamworth Pig from Demopolis we would probably have read something like the following account:
 MT. and Mrs. Tamworth Pig of De- mopolis arrived in Birmingham yes- terday to make this city their future home. Society will be delighted to welcome these additions to its ranks, as they belong to one of the oldest and most aristocratic families in the world. They are of English extraction, com ing from Staffordshire, England, where they removed from Ireland about 1872 Sir Robert Peel was one of their most intimate friends. Bir- mingham welcomes MT. and Mrs. Tamworth Pig and the little Pigs and assures them of a cordial reception. Many pleasant affairs are being planned in their honor. Until they get possession of their own home at .Bracewood,' they will be guests at MT. Walter B. Fowlkes' farm on Shades mountain
 The next thing with such aristocrats in our midst would be for Dolly Dal rymple to interview Mrs. Pig, who is a member of the Mothers club, the Society for the Prevention of Infant
