DIDN'T LET STOMACH KNOW
Simple Manner in Which a Struggling
Pittsbursher Acquired a
Competence

A Pittsburgh man, by thrift and
economy, acquired a competence from
a most humble beginning, but until he
related his experience to his friends
in the bank where he did business they
were unable to discover the real secret
of his success. Here is his story, &C.
cording to the Pittsburgh Dispatch: He
started to- work on the South side at So
per week and was Don advanced to
$40 and later to SO. When he was
marked up to S14 he got married, be-
ginning double team life in two rooms
in n of the alleys nigh to Carson
street. His boss thought so well of
his marriage he added 50 more per
week to his income. He bought a small
lot in the alley, put up n little house
and ere long was living free of rent.
Then he annexed a lot, erected another
house and found himself a landlord.
Another legacy of 50 a week was his
good fortune and at last followed pros
perity that enabled him to live with
out daily toll. "Well," said the presi.
dent of the bank, you have not told
these tellers and young fellows in the
bank the real secret of your success, as
you confided 1t privately to me- and,
laughing, the man said: "Oh, yes, /
know what you mean. Well, boys, I
told you / started at So per week and,
believe me-, no matter how often I
was advanced in wages, I never let my
stomach know that 1 was on any other
tina So weekly allowance" This ex.
planned his comfortable bank balance.

a home"

Cultured Hindus.

In Bengal there are about seventy
millions of people, and they boast of
perhaps the best culture in India at
the present time. The language as a
written language is only fifty years
old. Though for over a thousand
years 1t has been a dialect, there is in
Indian history unfortunately no trace
of Bengal having been an important
literary tongue. The language has
borrowed its alphabet. grammar and
vocabulary. There are numerous Per-
sian, Arabic and English words incor-
porated in II. and the wonder Of 1t is
that. instead of having been degraded
into some vulgar form like pidgin
English, Bengal has become the most
literary. scientific and perhaps the
most philosophic of modern Indian
languages.

HOG RAISING IN THE SOUTH
Many Southern Farmers Growing
More Animals and of Larger Type
Noticeable In Georgia.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Ag%riculture.)
An important result of ~hog-cholera
control work which has resulted in a
steady decline of the disease, bas
been the stimulus given the develop
ment of swine raising in the South.
With other activities of the depart
ment in this line, the assurance given,
to Southern farmers that hogs can be
produced without fear of losses from
cholera has encouraged growing not
only larger numbers of animals but
also better types. This has been no
ticeable particularly in Georgia. A
few years ago that state purchased
about 100000 pounds of pork more
than it produced annually. But eff
forts for the control of hog cholera
have gradually extended over the en-
tire state, with resulting confidence in
hog raising. BY 1918 Georgia was
producing pork enough to make ship
ments to outside points besides sup
plyirg a large number of hogs to local
slaughterfng establishments. Similar
progress has been made in MISSISSIPPI
pi, Alabama and Florida.

More cows should be kept on the

Cows without salt lose flesh and

feta finish the top, of the bag and form
its handle. A rose and immortelles
appear again on the bag as on the

signer to pose these little everlasting
flowers on leghorn.
Two colors in a faille. ribbon are set
together to form the handsome bag at
the center of the picture. The colors
alternate and the point at the bottom
Is set off with those fashionable little,
flower-like straw ornaments that have
held good throughout the season, in
millinery. The hat to match has a
braid brim and ribbon crown, the rib
bon woven over and under about he
wide crown and lying in strips on he
top. The same small straw orna-
ments nestle against the brim.
The daintiest of these sets is work
ed out In hair braid. 1t appears at the
right In a hat with hair braid brim
and crown, draped with a striped rib
bon and trimmed with roses. The
bag is made of two plaques OF

satin. Velvet ribbon is used for the

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Since 1913, when the United States
department of agriculture began work
to control hog cholera, the dreaded dis
ease has become less and less destruc-
tive each year. A force averaging 1876
federal veterinarians has been main
tanned, working in cooperation with
state authorities in charge of quaran-
tine and other regulatory measures
necessary for the success of control
work. During the fiscal year 1918 more
than 5,500,000 hogs were inoculated
with hog-cholera serum, and more
than 2,206 farms, found to be infected

The master of a Glasgow school was
presiding over the reading lessons of
the third standard when the child
whose turn 1t was to read came across
the word 'hireling."
"what is a hireling'" asked the
teacher.
The boy thought for a moment or
two. and then replied, II don't know"
The question was next propounded to
the entire class, with a like result.
The master then explained the mean
ing Of the word as lucidly as he could.
and, at the conclusion of his expla-
nation, repeated the question.
"Please, sir" replied the boy adj

fected under supervision of the depart
ment veterinarians.
Altogether, representatives of the
department visited more than $4,000
farms to investigate reported out
breaks, to apply preventive measures
and to clean and disinfect premises.
How great a menace hog cholera has
been to the nations swine industry
may be judged from the accepted esti-
mate that so per cent of hogs lost from
all ailments die from cholera. In 1913
the death rate of swine from disease
was placed at 42.1 per 1000. Thus the
loss was slightly above 4 per cent for
the United States. the lowest on rec
ord, according to the departments fig
ures.

 Although no reply had been received from the North Dakota senator tonight it was believed that the differences which resulted first in Senators Borah of Idaho and Johnson of California, and later on Senators Kenyon of Iowa and Jones of Washington, declining ap- pointmets on the committee, had been adjusted
 The committee on committees which makes all republican committee as signments in the senate. at a meeting today, was understood to have agreed on conclusions as to the democrats in the membership of the appropriations committee, which under previous plans would consist in the new senate of twelve republicans and eight demo crats. The committee, however, de- clined to entertain any suggestions as 1 to giving the minority a larger repre- l sentation on the foreign relations, in terstate commerce and finance com mites.
