24O Pound Pigs.

With corn above 50 cents, hogs eat
their heads off very quickly. The
hog that takes two or three months
to geN on full feed never brings you
profit.
When you are ready to put your
shoats on feed, begin with the B. 4.
Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regular
ly and watch your shoats round out
into fat hogs in nine months-hogs
going we'll over 200 pounds and as
high as 240 pounds. Figure the av-
erage feeding and you will see why
the B. A. Thomas medicine is good
investment. Try feeding out your
hogs on this plan and if you are not
more than pleased, we will refund
the cost of the medicine.

very far from being necessarily a
criminal.i And these towns, such as
Omsk and Irkutsk, have no appear
ance OF being convict settlements.
They are not the overgrown, dreary
steppe villages which many Stitl PIC
ture them, but thriving and modern
cities. with lofty buildings and broad
streets, long and straight, with all
the side streets set at right angles;
schools, universities, theatres. and
hotels in which the traveller finds
himself amidst the most approved
hotel surroundings. Then there are
public gardens, public ietes, fireworks
displays, and bands. whilst everybody
dresses very much in the same way
as people do in Europe or America.
All that, however, is the best side
of Siberia. 4 very little closer in
spection only is required to under
stand the full misery of the life of
thousands OF those eXlleS, so many OF
whom are now returning joyfully to
Russia. The horrors Of the prescri0-
ed area, the utter inadequacy of the
government allowance, loneliness
Of the exile, often highly educated,
condemned to live within the con-
fines of some village peopled with a
semi-civilized peasantry, would re-
quire many books adequately to de-
scribe. Certainly for no part of the
Russian dominions will the great re-
lease of March II, 1917, be more full
of immediate blessing than for ST.
IBERIA.

Great Responsibility on U. S. Admiral
During Absence of Britisher.

London, June 19.-Vice Admiral
William S. Sims, I. S. n, has been
appointed to take general charge of
the operations of the Allied naval
forces in Irish waters.
Admiral Sims will act in this capa-
city while the British commander
in-chief is absent from his post for
a period, the official announcement of
his appointment explains. The
American AdmiraIs flag meanwhile

SIBERIA.
Russian Province is Larger Than the
Whole of Europe.

Siberia is Russian province larg
er than Europe. Such bald, guide
book introduction gives, perhaps. All
idea as good as any other OF the vast
ness of that great land which stretch
es from the Urals to the Pacific, and
from the Arctic ocean to the Chinese
frontier. Perhaps no. other country
is more consistently and persistently
Inexperienced than Siberia. To the
world at large the name still coniures
UP visions of eternal slow. OF frozen
forbidding uplands and great treeless
valleys, and every now and asain, d
long file of chained convicts slowly
and toilfully, verst after verst, trav-
ersing the continent on their three
years march to that great inferno CT
the Far East, the convict island OF
Sakhalin."
This traditional Siberia was tor
many years a favorite field for the
melodramatist and for the novelist
who desired to give an utterly free
rein to their imagination. Siberia,
however, is very far from being a
frozen waste" or any other kind of
waste. In winter, it is true, there is
snow more than enough, but, by the
end of April, spring has set in with
remarkable beauty and charm, and,
during the weeks that follow, Siberia
makes up for lost time. Of course, in
a country so vast, conditions generally
speaking, the land is astonishingly
fertile, and those who know the coun-
try best confidently predict that it will
some day become one of the great
granaries of the world. The Russian
authorities have known all about this
for years, as they have known of ST.
IBERIA s immense resources in other di-
rections, and every means has been
resorted to to secure the colonization
of the territory by Russians.
AS early in it's history as 1858, ST.
IBERIA began to be place of exile and
a penal colony. Rebels under Peter
the Great, courtiers of rank under
the expresses, Polish confederates
under Catherine II, the "Decem5-
rists,' under Nicholas l, nearly So
900 Poles, after the insurrection of
1868, were exiled to Siberia, and vast
armies of political prisoners since
have passed through the great clear
ing station at Chelyabinsk, on the
eastern side of the Urals, and have
been transported thence to their al
loted zone or prison somewhere be-
tween the Urals and the Pacific, g.
600. miles away. Prisons, indeed,
are common enough buildings in Si.
IBERIA. Irkutks, for instance is lit
orally surrounded by great prisons,
which, for generations, have received
the criminal and political offenders
Of Russia. Then, as imprisonment
for any length Of time has almost inv
varia bly, carried with it exile for life,
scarcely any of the prisoners, releas-
ed, have been allowed to return to
Russia. The population of {rkutsk,
as of so many other Siberian towns, is
mainly composed of former convicts
or their descendants.
A convict in Russia, however, is

Episode Will Pass Away Like Bad Smell,' He Thinks Whipple Goes
 to Washington


 Washington, January 1s.-Congress was criticized by former President Taft in speech at the National Press club tonight for wasting it's time and the peoples money on such activities as the so-called leak investigation. He predicted that the entire episode would pass away as bad smell"
 T have observed" MT. Taft said that there are some gentlemen who feel that there is an exigency now in the history of the country that re- quires some means of protecting the reputation of men in high places. have an impression that there were four years sometime back in which had a feeling on that subject. I agree with that view. I agree with the idea that 1t is too bad to have irresponsible stories and dreams put out as serious, to find their way into headlines affecting the reputation of men who are entirely helpless to de- fend themselves.
 q think, however, that they will find q hope. that is my experience, and I like to believe that it is) these things, as hard as they seem at times, vanish into thin air after a while, and the episode passes as a bad smell goes away"

HEADS OF PARL|AMENTS
 ARE GATHERING
Important Conference of the Lawmakers Will Be Held in Berlin to Consider
 Situation

London, January 19.-The presidents of the parliaments of the allied (Teutonic) nations arrived at Berlin this morning, and were welcomed by the president and vice presidents of the German Reichstag, by representatives of the foreign ministry, and by the Turkish and Bulgarian min isters says a Reuter- dispatch from Ser lin forwarded by way of Amsterdam.
 Dr. Alfred Zimmerman, the German foreign minister, has gone to Vienna, ac- cording 10 announcement by the Zeitung Am Mittag, adds the Reuter- dispatch
 It was reported more than two weeks ago that a conference of the presidents of the German, Austro- Hungarian, Bull garian and Turkish parliaments would be held at Berlin. The foreign ministers of these powers were expected to par- ticipate in this conference. It was stated that meeting at Vienna of Emperor William, Emperor Charles of Austria, King Ferdinand of Bulgaria, and the Sultan of Turkey would precede the Ber- lin conference.
 The inference was drawn in London that, as the war staffs of the Teutonic allies were to take no part in these meet ings, they would deal with matters of policy rather than the conduct of the war

PROPERTY OWNERS
 ASK FOR PAVEMENT
Commissioner Truss is Pleased That
 Plans Are Favored

The majority of the property owners residing between Thirty-eighth and Forty-seventh streets, on Fifth avenue have signed a petition and forwarded it to Commissioner J. D. Truss, asking that the commission have that road paved Mir. Truss was delighted to receive the petition and will bring it to the attention of the commission at the next meeting
 There will be some fine roads in Bir- mingham if those now projected are paved' he said. q received today pe- tition to have Fifth avenue paved. Pe- titions are now in circulation among the property owners along Forty first street or Spring street, as it is popularly called, to have that thoroughfare paved from First avenue to Fifth avenue, south
 This will serve as a connecting link between First and Fifth avenues and will be a badly needed addition.
 "As yet there has not been a single protest against paving the road that fol- lows the Acipco car line from the head of Nineteenth street to Village creek
 "In addition to these thoroughfares the engineers are busy making estimates on the east and west roads. If these prof ected roads are constructed, they will mean much to the city"
