Present Sonring of Hams.

FOR want Of little chilling approximately
million dollars worth Of hams goes sour
each year, before the shipments have even had
q chance to reach the smoke house. This esti-
mate Is based on the average ham on the
hOof" value Of the hams, which is about 81 50.
An investigation, carried on for q year by
Federal experts, indicates that the loss could be
entirely eliminated II the hams are chilled
Immediately after the hogs have been
slaughtered and without waiting to cure them

AS an example Of the value of prompt chill
ling, two plants are contraSted. In one only
four hams out Of 100000 soured while in the
other, where the methods were not 50 good,
$50 Soured In an equal number.

THE ripe olive has turned out to be more
than just q tasty tid-bit to spur up Q
jaded appetite. Tests conducted by the Fed
eral Government indicate that it is a highly
important food
Containing from IA to 20 per cent oil, the
ripe olives were found to be particularly rich
in vitamin A. Exhaustive tests with albino
rats gave rather remarkable results in dis
closing the presence Of the vitamin.
The olives, r1pened on the trees, are processed
in the canning factories to bring out their
nutty flavor, after which they are covered with
weak brine and then sealed and processed in

OF course Tariff has been to a Politician
about what q bone Is too Dog, and fixed
Jury is too . Los Angeles Culprit. It's not only
his bread and butter, but its his desert and

-1wENTY- FIVE years is long time to

feel Illustration.
That however was the case with
Charles Brennon, superintendent, proprietor,
manager and general manager of the Hotel
Savoy the f1rst-rate hotel of a city of consid-
erably over two hundred thousand inhabitants.
Brennon had personally built up his hotel to
its important proportions, dividing it success
fully into two sections The Annex, or family
wing and then the hotel proper, which invited
the patronage of transientS and those who were
availing themselves of the towns famous cura-
tive waters, which were renowned for their
medicinal qualities.
And so it happened that the Savoy catered
to three distinct groups Families CONNER
cial men and women. Rheumatic patients.
ONE might have thought that such variety
of patronage would have lent interest and
even glamour to Brennons role of hotel man.
and in way it did, yet this same fact in itself
was a factor in the ultimate sense of frustra-
ton that time and again. as he grew older and
more deeply entrenched in his work, swept
and depressed him
What struck most painfully into the sense of
loneliness which was more and more depressing
him in his daily life among the crowd was the
fact that of all the hundreds who daily milled
in and out of his hosiery; lived there; enter
tanned there; dined there; wined there, he
alone seemed the homeless one He alone
among all the coming and going seemed to be
the one who neither coming nor going
Even the families in the Annex were usually
there on temporary basis; awaiting the COM
plet1on of new home; pending a marriage;
taking year off between changes of perma-
nent address.
In fact, it was the families in the Annex that
contributed most of all to the growing unrest
that was Brennons The unit of these little
groups was so snug. Even sitting around with
them of an evening in the lobby and then see
ing them troop off together to their rooms
their suites their apartments, gave him that
cold alien sense he was more than ever begin
ming to dread. Husbands and wives trailing
of together. Brothers and sisters bantering
their way up to bed. Pairs of people sharing
the intimacies of family life; of domestic life.
Then, IL; the commercial and transient wings,
men and women on their way to homes. Men
and women eager for mail from homes anxious
to get back to domestic groups; awaited at
some remote point by eager loved ones.
Then Brennon himself doomed as he was
