1FoRMAL" HUNT POOR SPORT
WHARF the cheetah 10 Given q Chance,
However, Il 10 Something Of q \
Different Matter.

The "formal" cheetah hunt, which Is
sure to constitute part Of the enter
tainment provided by any one Of
couple Of dozen Of the most prominent
native chiefs Of northern India for
his distinguished guests, is, If any
thing, tanner and more tiresome than
state tiger hunt. with the latter's
elaborate provisions for rounding up
the torpid quarry and still more elabo-
rate precautions against anyone but
the heaters being mauled. An in
formal cheetah hunt. however, where
things are taken as they come, is rare
ly a very entertaining experience. On
such occasions, as no maharajah's rep
utation for hospitality is held to hang
upon the number Of slaughtered buck
laid at the feet of the guest of shonor
In the official photographs, II Is posi-
BILE to give the quarry something like
sporting chance, the consequence be-
Ing that the cheetah is seen far nearer
the limit of its really phenomenal
stalking and sprinting powers than
when the game. frightened and con-
fused by a line Of heaters, is driven
under the supercilious nose Of the
"hunter."-wide World Magazine.

DOING WITHOUT PIGS.

Maybe the pigs will complain, and
maybe they will be glad, when they
learn that another patent has been
granted for a process of manufacture
ing artificial lard, or a substitute for
lard. This consists in subjecting cot
tonseed oil to a process known as
hydrogenization, during which ny
drogen gas combines with the oil to a
greater or less degree. The result is
a fatty substance which contains
about 20 per cent of a certain kind
of oil or fat known as "stearin. "
Then there is mixed with this ''hy-
drogenized" cottonseed oil enough
oily lard to give the resulting mix
ture as nearly as possible the same
flavor and density as natural lard.
This lard substitute is designed to be
used for all the purposes for which
real, genuine lard is now used.

Swager Stick Makes
Soldiers Walk Erect

Washington, Aug. 25. = America s
army has bad case of swaggerstick-
tits. The germ of ggerstickitis is the
swagger stick. The disease is virulent
and has affected practically every
young officer and enlisted man the
country has. The swagger stick itself
is just young, inexperienced cane. 1t s
about two and a half feet long and
looks very much like robust lead pen
Gil. "The swagger stick is used," said
Captain William B. Hudson of the field
hospital unit at Camp Ordway, "to keep
the soldiers hands out of his trousers
pockets" Maybe if every "dip'' in
the country was supplied one it would
keep his hands out of other people S
trouser pockets. The captain didn t say
But the idea s worth trying.
Anyhow, Uncle Sam thinks the swag-
ger stick is all right. He s very particu-
lar about the soldierly appearance of
his soldiers. Very "And when walk
ing" said one of his chevroned rep
ga soldier who has moth
ing in his hands generally stoops and
destroys his military front But when
he carries swagger stick to balance
in his hands he walks erect"
But there's point the officer over
looked. The swagger stick is a splen-
did weapon. If as many Germans had
come as near being blinded, garroted, |
run through and otherwise permanently
disabled with the blasted things as we
have, we are sure the war department
would seriously consider putting them
IN the firing line and away from Penn
sylvania avenue.
When one wears a swagger stick, nat
lrally one swaggers. And when one
,waggers when one wears swagger
stick, one is apt to cause one s fellow
,itizen to seek life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness in other and less
'wagger sticky fields of endeavor.
Now we have no prejudice against
he swagger stick, as such. But when
me daily, in one s prereginations here
md there about town is in momentary
langer of being swaggersticked to
leath ON all sides, one is apt to damn
he swagger stick heartily, military up-
,earance of no military appearance.
