WARNING TO PARENTS.
8 MILLION LITTLE PIGS.
RIDING A DRIVING WHEEL.
EASTMAN'S MILLIONS.

All fathers and mothers should be
put on their guard by the death of the
Presidents son. The boy wore shoes,
or sandals with no stockings, as thou
sands of boys and girl do, every day
in Summer THAT is MOST DAN
|GEROUS.
The earth, everywhere, is impregna-
ted with dangerous germs, including
the germ of lockjaw, and innumerable
other germs that may cause blood poi
soning if slight wound be neglected.
90
The feet and especially the toes, are
more easily infected than any other ex-
ternal part of the body.
Cramped for generations in shoes,
deprived of their natural blood supply,
very often the toes lose their power
of resistance to germ attack. Constant
ly you read of blood poisoning thata
starts in the foot
Wearing shoes without stockings,
lneglectinga cut or blister, as children
do, any germs accumulated are persist
entity and continuously rubbed into the
tissues and into the blood circulation,
with no protecting stocking between
the foot and the leather.

| The pluckier the child the more
probability of neglected wound. And
boyish- courage, unfortunately, is no
protection against germ attack.
THE Spring crop of pigs is short
by 100000 in the corn belt" What
becomes of the consciousness" of
those 100000 little pigs that never
saw the light of day."
Are they suspended somewhere in
eternity, waiting for a chance to kick
up their little legs in the corn belt
and eat good corn, previous to having
their threats cut?
If they could think at all, what would
they say of system that brings them
into the world to eat corn for a while
and then be eaten by their "superiors
system that keeps eight millions of
them out of the world when the price
OF corn happens to coup? What is the
exact difference between 8,0OO,0 900 pigs
and the same number of humans?

oil is exhausted. Rice straw wasted IN
India could produce enough alcohol to
equal in power the annual production

To attempt to climb Mount Everest
! is abandoned for this year. But with the
patience and perseverance of other IN
sects, men will keep on trying and they
will reach the top. They may find
there the frozen bodies of Mallory and
IRVINE, two of the expedition last seen
as they entered heavy cloud IN
drive for the top.
| Rather a romantic grave, in the freez
ing cold of the highest spot on earth.
Some day sightseers in flving machines
will look at stone, covering the dead
bodies of the first two men that ever
climbed up here" and children in the
sightseeing flier will ask, why dad
they climb up, instead of flying.
Five years ago George Eastman OF
Rochester, allowed 5000 employees OF
his Eastman Kodak Company to sub
scribe for stock in the company at par
Last week the employees got their
stock, worth $21,000000.
They paid just half that price ior
it originally, making profit OF loO
per cent. That's good way to encour-
age good work and interest workers IN
their jobs.
