Pigs that have been chilled may be
quickly revived by immerslng them to
the mouth In warm water (not hot, but
about blood heath. This Is much to be
preferred to warming them by a fire
because the heat Is applied so much
more uniformly and quickly. The sup
position that such pigs never amount
to anything Is altogether incorrect. for
they generally will live and thrive.
Failure to get results has usually been
due to the pigs having been actually
frozen or to the use Of water that was

velOp.
But trust that we shall not sur
round the matter with a mist Of
sentiment. Facts are our masters
now. We ought not to put the &C
ceptance of such prices on the
ground of patriotism. Patriotism
has nothing to do with profits in
case like this. Patriotism and profits
ought never in the present circum-
stances to be mentioned together.
Patriotism leaves profits out of
the question. In these days of our
supreme trial, when we are send
ing hundreds of thousands of. our
young men across the seas to serve
great cause, no true man who
stays behind to work for them and
sustain them by his labor will ask
himself what he is personally going
to make out Of that labor. No true
patriot will permit himself to iake
toll of their heroism in money or
seek to grow rich by the shedding
of their blood. He will give as free
~ and with as unstinted self-sacri-
flee as they. When they are giving
their lives will he not give at least
his money?

a just price, more than a price that

liberal and unusual profits in order
