HOGS PAY BIG MONEY

MT. Pete Wing, of Hawk Point, Mo-, made lot of money out of his hogs. He says: "I fed them Dr. LeGear' s Hog Prescription. It has given won- derful results in putting gains on them with less feed. They were on heavy feed for only month; averaged gain of 2a pounds daily, and were only months old, when sold"
 MT. Wing profted by the advice of Dr. LeGear, Graudate Veterinarian and Expert Poultry Breeder of 2s years standing.
 Dr. LeGear's Hog Prescription will put weight on your hogs also, because it expels worms, purifies the blood and conditions them so that they gair flesh on less feed.
 It makes no difference what ail ment is prevalent among the hogs ol poultry. It is money in your pocket t( get the proper pr. LeGear Remedy from your dealer Gives satisfaction or money back offer Adv

The evil in the world is always striving to gain the upper hand, but the good predominates in every nor nal man, and at the end of every chapter in the history of mankind the good has won it's way further toward the summit. The world will never go bolshevik and to the devil generally. Some times we pass through valley, but the way across lies upward into the sunlight above. It is law of nature and of natures ruler that the best will conquer, and it will as it has always done through the ages. None of us would care for book, nor a photoplay nor a drama with the william the conquering hero in the last chapter, the last reel or the last act. We expect right to triumph and would be disgusted if t didn't. Which is another way Of proving that the best in us and in the wbole world is in the majority.

False economy is a menace to pros- perity, the same as is extravigance. Normal buying keeps business moving, and reduces the amount of unemploy- ment and brings back to the producer a demand for his product A normal amount of buying coupled with saving is the only thing that will restore con fidence.

riders from other rooms was redolent 1 of it. But how was it to be had? Somebody suggested that the bell hop might know. The bell hop was summoned and carefully cross-ques- tioned. At length the confession was wrung from him that while he did not know himself. he had a friend who might know. He would go and see about it. He went and saw. He re- turned to say that his friend did know
 How much?" inquired my friend twelve dollars is the best he al- lows he kin do."
 Twelve dollars a quartz No. suh. not SIP a quart, $1z a pint''
 There was an argument. but it was of no avail The SIP was forthcom- ing and the pint was produced from under the bell hops coat.
 DRINK PRODUCES ANAESTHESIA
 My friend seized the bottle, poured quarter of it into a tumbler, added little water and took long, refresh fng draught.
 Then sort of hiss, like you some times hear from a radiator, escaped his throat. He sort of folded up like a four bladed jackknife, and sank into a chair.
 We laid him tenderly on the bed and asked him where 1t hurt.
 We got no answer. He had sunk into 8 dreamless slumber
 My friend did not see Senator Hard ing nominated. He took no part in the deliberations that led to that result
 For the remainder of the session he remained in his room, a stranger to us and inattentive to any affairs of this world.
 We called a doctor-ancther one who said he was alive and would probably pull through. That was all
 He did stay alive, too but nobody but his most intimate friends would ever have known it. He even lived to pay another SIP to the same bell hop for another pint. He didn't drink that one. He wrapped it up and put it into his suitcase. He said that man back home had once foreclosed a mortgaga on his mothers farm and turned her out into the cold on a winters night
 He was going to take the pint back and give it to this person anonymous. ly, so as not to be suspected of sim ister motives.
 When he left Chicago the bell hops were still doing business at the same prices. But we heard that they were coming to New York to buy apartment houses. and that is why I began this story the way I did. Copyright. 1920, by the Bell Svndi-
 cate. Incl
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-07-04

If you hear of a couple of Chicago bell hops who are buying apartm ent houses in New York. you'll know, when you have finished this narrative, where they got it.
 Also, if you know their address, busi- ness or residence, or where they can be found either by sleuths or with bloodhounds, friend of mine would be glad of the information. He wants to see them, and to see them right away.
 This friend was a delegate. to the late Chicago convention. He has money so he stopped at an expensive hotel.
 He also has a capacity; for liquor which he often underestimates. Not only that. but he also underestimates the capacity of Pullman porters, which in these days is past appraising by the ordinary methods.
 When he left for Chicago, he figured that six quarts would be about right for out there and back. But the Pullman porter having taken cor respondence course in burglary, had skeleton keys that fitted all suit cases. And when the subject of this case got to Chicago, he had four quarts.
 Four quarts is a good deal of liquor for one man. But at Chicago it was too hot to go out, and ice was cheap. When man who has studied drinking for years is confined to his room with four quarts of liquor and plenty of ice, he knows exactly what to do
 Not only that, but if he has any true, dependable friends, not just fair wealth CT friends, but friends who will stick to man while there is drop left in the bottle, he can always get them to help him.
 The four quarts were gone the sec- ond day. They must have contained a benign distillation, because the effect on my friend and his drinking com panions was not noticeable, except that it had engendered a thirst that would not down.
 His first thought was to send out for a doctor. The doctor came, took four dollars for fee, and when my friend wnked at him, wrote out a prescrip- tion The prescription was sent to the hotel drug store, by a messenger who brought back pint bottle containing a nerve tonic
