PlNKY PIGS SICKNESS.

"Pinky Pig" said Daddy, twas sick.
OF course, it was not unusual for
Pinky Pig to be sick He often ate
too much and had indigestion. Then.
too, he ate things which did not agree
with him, just because he loved SO to
eat, and then he would feel quite i'll.
Each time he was i'll he said to
himself that he would never touch
anything he didn't know about. and
that he would never eat too much
again. But such thoughts Pinky ONLY
had when he was ili-never when he
was well, and when they would have

"Of course, Pinky's mother was very
much frightened. She was always
frightened when Pink was i'll. Each
time she made a great fuss, and if
anyone told her 1t was because her
child had eaten too much, she would
be very angry.

Pay AS You Go.

white River Julction Landmark.)
Recently in an adjoining town the
sheriff was offering the goods and ac-
counts of a merchant for what he could
get. The accounts amounted TO $1,000
and were sold for less than 800 Why?
Because they belonged to that class Of
people who never pay an honest debt
nor expect to pay one if they can help
it. The prime cause of This state of
things is the credit system. As the
cancer is to humanity so is the credit
system to the business world Politi-
clans are quarreling about protection
and free trade, but if the system of
pay as you 90 could be impressed upon
the people Of this country, it would be
a vastly greater benefit than either
The credit system caters to the nor
bid desire of a certain class of people
who live beyond their means. 1t gives
them chance to get everything they
want; not what they really want but
what they think they want. Then
there is a class of people who lack
moral stamina. They never pay a book
account, but may pay cash when thew
can t get credit. These human para
sites are the cause Of more real suf-
tering than anything else under orr
Government, excluding whiskey. The
economy o. nature, perfect as il is,
acks one thing-a jumping-off place
for dead beats.

Some timid people who have been
frightened over unpreparedness, may
take comfort, and sleep at night
from the news gathered by the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger that in the
event of war with Germany, the
United States can not only make all
the munitions il needs for its own use.
but have enough left over to supply
the allies if all the factories abroad
had to shut down. Pennsylvania
alone can supply enough munitions to
carry the country through this crisis
More than half the munition factories
in the country have finished their for
eign contracts and are ready at mo-
ment 5 notice to turn out material for
the government. This is the state
ment of Vice President S. NJ. Vau-
claim, of the Baldwin locomotive
works, who was appointed by the
council Of national defense to put mu.
milton factories on basis of cffici
ency. He is also a director of Mid
vale company and is the munition ex
pert of the country. The Eddystonc
plants can turn out more rifles in 2
day than any factory in the world
and can make $4,000 three-inch shrap
mel every 81 hours. In big guns
there is no finer piece of ordnance
than the eightinch howitzer the Mid
vale is turning out. In his opinion Tho
United States would not send over ar
army, but would help the allies, Eng
land with financial backing, and
France with steel.

The fact that a man 5 legs are de-
