Pens In the Tropics.

The ordinary steel pens used IN
temperate climates, particularly
those used in the United States, are
not adaptable to the tropics on ac-
count of rusting. This is especially
true during the rainy season and at
seaports. Bronze or brass pens or
those coated with bronze do not
seem to be thus affected. Ink de-
teriorates very quickly in tropical
climates and often has the con-
sistency of gum. On the ordinary
steel pens this aids the rust and is
hard to wipe off if left for short
time. With the bronze or brass pen
or with a pen coated with bronze
the coated ink is easily wiped or
burned off.-Indianapolis News.

A Non.Alcoholic, Highly Con-
centrated Iron Remedy.

The Reverand H H Norman, OF
Elizabeth City, North Carolina,
wrote the other day: Il suffered
from indigestion troubles for a long
time and must say it was hard to
find relief until I bought the first
bottle of Acid Iron Mineral, but
now 1 am able to perform duties
that before its use I had to almost
entirely abandon"
People in all walks of life find it
hard to do their work, when the
digestion is poor and system be-
comes under-nourished. The brick
layer with high wages prevailing
often cannot get ahead because of
poor health. 1t is the same with
farmers who raise but fraction :of
the crop they could if their health
permitted harder work.
Continuing his statement, this
minister said: Finding so much
relief for myself I have let friends
use bottles I have bought and they
too, were relieved and strength
ened 80 l want to recommend it to
all now as l think there is nothing
like it.
Acid Iron Mineral is the product
of a natural and truly remarkable
natural iron deposit found in Mis-
sissippi, highly concentrated and a
great remedy for stomach, digestion,
kidney, blood and uric acid COM

RHODES AND THE AFRICANS.
How tho Empire Builder Ruled The
Savage Native Chiefs.

How tho Empire Builder Ruled ths
Savage Native Chiefs
John Hays Hammond, the noted
mining engineer, tells in the Ameri-
can Magazine Of the most wonder
full man he knows. He names Cecil
Rhodes as this man, and he says:
'The influence of Mr.. Rhodes on
the South African natives was al
most uncanny. Once grave native
war let loose against the white set
tiers. Rhodes undertook to stop the
combat single handedly after the
British commissioner had been
treated with studied contempt by
the native chief. His dusky majes-
ty had kept the representatives of
the British crown out on the veldt
for three days before condescending
to fulfill a prearranged meeting.
Even then he gave the envoy no
satisfaction.
"Rhodes then took the matter up
and arranged through messengers
for talk with the native and then
kept him waiting-exactly three
days.
'Despite the fighting men who
surrounded the CHIEF, Mr.. Rhodes
scorned to carry a single weapon or
allow single soldier to accompany
him. He had in his hand only
riding crop.
"The king squatted in state on
the only seat available, leaving
Rhodes standing. Rhodes ordered
him up and took the seat.
"What do you mean by killing
my white people 2 he demanded.
"At first the native was offended,
but the personality and fearlessness
of the empire builder soon cowed
him. When Rhodes left he carried
a solemn pledge that not another
shot would be fired. Not only did
the chief keep his word, but when
the great spirit of Africa died and
was laid to rest in the lonely, unin-
habited Matopos representatives Of
the chief fired royal salute over
his grave, an honor never before or
since paid to the memory of white
man."

The Value Of Education

Late statistics show that unedu-
Gated laborers earn on the average
$500 per annum for forty years, a
total of $4,000; high school grad
yates earn on the average 81 900 a
year for forty years, total of $4O,-
900. This additional education re-
quires twelve years Of schooling Of
$50 days each, a total of 2,16O days
Of school. If that many days adds
$4,000 to the income of life, then
each day at school adds $9.02. The
child that stays out of school to earn
less than SO per day is losing money,
not making money.

Why Produce More Pork Because:

Why Produce More Pork Because:
Pork is the principal meat Of the
army, city and farm.
Pork is the most satisfactory meat
for shipping long distances on train.
boat or wagon and for long storage
after reaching its destination.
Pork is the most satisfactory meat
for curing.
Pork always finds ready sale be-
cause there are so many ways of
placing it on the market in attrac-
tive and highly palatable form, COM
bined with most excellent keeping
qualities.
There is no other meat from which
so many products are manufactured.
Almost so per cent of the total
value, in dollars and cents, of the
meat and meat products handled in
the packing houses of the United
States is derived from the hog.
No other animal equals the lard
hog in its fat.storing tendency.
AS consumer of by-products the
hog has no equal.
The hog is by far the most effic-
lent of domestic animals in convert
ing grain into meat.
Mr. Farmer, you should endeavor
to raise more hogs.

Whole Hog or None.

"Whole hog OF none" refers to the
alleged custom of Mohammed to al
low his followers to eat all except
one portion of a pig, which portion,
however, was not specified. The re-
suit, therefore, was that if a Moham-
medan did not wholly avoid the use
of pork he might as well run the
risk of consuming the whole hog as
to eat any portion thereof.
