Blind Taught Typewriting.
Blind men have also a great range
of work thrown open to them. In
England all of them are taught to
typewrite; and each, on leaving the
school, is given typewriter, SO that
he can also attend to his correspond
ence. To typewrite really seems to
come by nature nowadays. For a
trade they may choose either mas
sage, machinery adjusting, net making
piano tuning, brush making, pottery.
or any one of many more.
II Is, of course. of little avail to
teach disabled man trade and then
to turn him out to seek an employer.
Employers are all from Missouri"
and hesitate to employ disabled men.
Hence Uncle Sam, like his allies, will
have to find jobs for his pupils and
be able to guarantee that they can do
their work. Some of these pupils, by
the way. will be willing to work any
where, some will work only nenr their
homes, and some will be outrageously
persnickety both as to location and en-
ployers. Uncle Sam will try to satisfy
them all. Moreover, he is planning to
establish, as none Of the allies has yet
done, follow-up system, by which, If
a man gets discouraged and quits, Un-
Gle Sam will know of 1t and will do
his best to start him upward and on
ward again.

Conserve the Pork Supply

There Is o nationwide movement
which amounts almost to demand
for the conservation and economiza-
ton Of food-stuffs. especially meats,
fats. and wheat.
The farmers Of Ripley County
can perform no greater service to
the nation and the cause Of Demo-
cracy" than BY saving the hogs
they now have and making definite
preparations to raise more pigs the
coming year.
The worse draw back to the hog
raising industry Of this section Is
the heavy losses from Hog Cholera,
an incurable, but absolutely pre-
ventable disease.
Many farmers have lost all their
hogs from cholera and will be forced
to buy their meat and lard. every
pound Of which should fcrm n part
OF the supply to go TO the army or
to our Allies in Europe.
Hog Cholera can be absolutely
prevented by the use Of the serum
virus treatment when properly ad-
ministered by a competent veterina-
risn.
We admonish you 10 make use Of
this preventative before II is too
late.
As to the efficiency Of this treat
ment there Is no question; and
officials Of the government and
state Departments Of Agriculture
stand ready TO demonstrate this
fact without expense to any farmer
or stock raiser.
Any one wishing further informa.
tion along this line may obtain
same by consulting DR.. c. A. Ponder

with his mess.
Privates Tyra and Brown, who have
been laid of on account OF having
boils, one on bis hand and the other on

When the Third and Sixth were con-

making Company Of $50 men Of the

While the general health Of the CON-
