HUBBY IN POKER GAME • Awfully Slow Winner, Wife Declares in Divorce Action, but His Temper is Speedy. Detroit, Mich.—ls when Harry Swaton of this city, married his wife, Luielta, four y eais ago, he had taketr her advice and quit Playing poker they would in all probability have lived happily ever after. But he didn’t, and now Mrs. Swaton is reviewing the whole situation in the divorce court here. According to Mrs. Swaton, sb e told her husband on their honeymoon trip that he was one of the dearest men and one of the rankest poker players -ehe — encountered. She smoothed his forehead and told him that unless he forgot the trifle he knew about poker they might just as Well select a high bridge and race each other in the direction of the swiftly moving current. As a gambler she said, he was a non-sinkable liability. Mrs. Swaton says that her husband smiled happily when she told him all this and said that one word from her would cause him to cease breathing, eating, living. He would never look at a card again, for he had been looking at them for years and had never seen anything in particular. Thenjthgy, talked of the stars, of the wonderful Hfe that was before them and of the love that would bring the world to their feet or thereabouts. But, according to Mrs. Swaton, there lurked away back near the outer bone of her husband’s beloved skull a belief that he was a good poker player, whose luck was bound to change. That, it will be recalled, Is what they all say. ■ , • ' Hardly had the honeymoon ended when Mr. Swaton was thrown up out of a cellar for complaining about four aces that some one got when he obtained kings full of fours. He was and insisted that they go to a card party at a friend’s near by just for recreation. -When he had lost everything but his crutch he started to wreck the place. With one short arm jab he lost most of the friends that his wife “cared to have. ’Tfis host, agenial soul, fell down a flight of stairs and has never spoken to him since. Mrs. Swaton having considered the matter carefully, has decided that life with a perpetual loser who thinks he is pretty fair, can never be for her. She asks a divorce.

NERVY THIEF STEALS SKUNKS But That’s What He Did, and Prison Guard's Side Line is Broken Up Leavenworth, Kan. —The nerviest thief in the world has ben discovered. That is evidences of his activities have become known. The thief however, is spll at large, but the chances . are. that he will- soon, be apprehended, provided that he has not taken the precaution to either bury or burn his clothing. If he does not officers will very easily follow the scent. A skunk farm! Ever hear of one? Probably not, although they are quite common. Well, Jonah Jones, a corporal of the military prison guard, owns a- skunk farm and until- recentlyhad fourteen big, plump, furry animals in the inclosure near the prison cor ral. But here comes Mr. Nervy Thief. Probably one who was well acquainted with the habits of this species of beast. Even then it would necessarily Jiave to. be. a man yho possessed a big quantity of nerve and whose smelling apparatus was not in the best working order. Mr. N. T. enters the inclosure. No one seems to know just what happened when he started searching around, tn-the close proximity of the animals. He evidently did not Imagine himself in a bunch of violets. ine neignoprhood of a big packing plant would have been tame in comparison. Our hero, Mr. N. T., evidently was not of the superstitious sort. It was Friday morning, mind you, and he selected just exactly thirteen of the biggest of the quadrupeds. The fourteenth was left behind, just to give Corporal Jones a nest egg, so to Now Corporal Jones has notified the authorities of the theft and asked Assistance in locating the loot.— Corporal Jones traps and -raises skunks as a side line. Not a—very pleasant occupation, to be sure, but it’s a money maker. The woods on the reservation abound in the animals and they are easily captured by means of traps. During the winter season as high as $5 can be obtained for an ordinary skunk hide and some of the rare colorings bring even more.

BILLION GERMS IN DISH ICE CREAM

KANSAS UNIVERSITY BACTERIOLOGIST EXPERIMENTS WITH MICROBES SIX MONTHS THE COLD DOES NOT KILL THEM They Live In tee and Continue to Multiply Rapidly, He says In Bulletin Topeka, Kan.—When bnb goes Into the corner drug store and purchases a dish of ice eream he purchases, in addition to the cream, 2,522,666,656 germs. That is the number of microbes found by Prof. F. H. Billings of the Kansas University Bacteriological laboratories in 10 cents .worth of fresh ice cream. Experiments in germs in ice cream for six months, and his conclusions are that there are never less than 2,500,000,000 of kicking squirming microbe* in the average dish of ice cream, not more than a day old. As the age of the cream Increases the more bugs one gets for the same money. The smallest number of microbes found in ice cream three days old was 3,941,666,666. These figures are for the cleanest, purest,' and best of ice cream that Prof. Billings could buy. The Kansas University has just sent out a bulletin on the germs to -h»-found in ice cream, prepared by Prof. Billings, to show the results of his experiments. TheTmlk-tln.. says: "Cold is unquestionably unfavorable to the activity of the germs, but the experiments showed that germs are the most resistant to extremes of temperature of all known organ- - isms-.—Often one thinks nothing of using ice from a river when one would not think of drinking the water from the same stream. The process of freezing removes some of the germs but others will live in the ice all summer and have their activity restored when they are put into a pitcher with the ice to make a eooling drink. “The experiments proved that germs increased in number in stored ice cream. A sample of fresh ice cream tested 16,000,000 germs to the cubic centimeter. After three days storage in a frozen state the number of germs in the same sample had gone up to 25,000,000 germs to each cubic centimeter. This equals 2,522,666,666 germs to the ordinary dish of fresh ice cream and 3,941,666,666 microbes to the same sized dish of cream three days old.

Tuberculosis germs have lived for 45 days in the laboratories when they were kept at a temperature ,of 345 degrees below freezing. The germs lost none of their vitality or virulence in -that time. Other germs have stood equally severe tests without injury. "Cold cannot be depended upon as a germ exterminator, but the winter is a bad time for the microbes. They have fewer opportunities to get in their deadly work. The cold weather renders the germs less active and they . are -not sp harmful. Sufficient use of. ice during the summer will stop the' ravages of the germs in warm weather. It is impossible to find milk that is free from germs. Some milk has many millions less germs than other milk, depending upon the sanitary conditions of the dairy and how the milk is handled. The filth germs kill many bottle fed infants and Infanr mortality is most prevalent in warm weather, when the germs are 'most active. Keeping the milk cold in warm weather does not reduce the number; in fact, it increases the number, but it makes the germs less active and hence less harmful.

TRUCK FARMER CROSSES TOMATO AND EGG PLANT

Texan Believes Consumers Will Give This New Vegetable Warm Welcome. • -La Marqua, Tex —P. Daa George, a - truck farmer of this plfice, has sue ceeded in prbducrng“na. new variety of vegetable by grafting the tomato plant upon the eggplant. The product of this blending of plant types is a vegetable that in some respects resembles the eggplant and in other ways is typical of the tomato. Mr. George has one-half acre devoted to eggplant tomatoes, as he calls the nqfir garden product. The yield is enormous. The fruit of the crossis of deep purple color on the outside, closely resembling the eggplant product in that respect, but the meat on the inside is red. r The fruit is almost entirely free of seed. In size the new product is much - larger than any of the different varieties of the commercial tomato. Each plant grows to a height of five or seven feet and puts on an enormous crop of fruit. Mr. George claims that the new vegetable will receive warm welcome from the consumers of the country. It was quite by accident that he made the discovery that the two plants could be crossed. He was growing the young plants in beds early this spring, and one day, for want of something to do, he grafted a tomato plant upon an eggplant, never thinking for a moment that the merged plant would grow. Greatly to his surprise he saw that the grafting was a great success. He immediately grafted enough plants to set a half acre in them.

FEATHER BED TRUST

Farmers’ Wives Fall For Scheme and Later Make Heartrending Discoveries. Toronto, Ont—Ever hear —of the Feather Bed Trust? Of course you didn’t. No one ever heftrs of trusts nowadays. Still, the Feather Bed Trust is a different sort. You see, it isn’t a trust with an enormous capitalization, and one of those fancy interlocking directorates, it’s just a simple little organization of a few manufacturers here in Canada and the States. They met a little time ago, and portioned out the continent, so much for each firm. The way they make thelr money la delightfully old fashioned In its homely simplicity. The agent of the trust, a sauve young gentleman, takes his group of assistants into an Ontario town. Any small Ontario town you know of will do. He rents a vacant house or store, sets up a steam cleaning boiler and other washing devices for washing feather beds, and then, three or four bottles In his pockets goes off to work the town and countryside. •• He shows this urbane young chap, his bottles to some housewife, who has read a lot about cleanliness and hygelne. One bottle shows a feather as it comes from the pelt of the innocent chicken. Bottle No. 2 shows a little spot developing into a nest of germs, and the other exhibits continue the fearful lesson. For a couple of dollars each-feath-er bed in the house will be cleaned. A wagon waits without, and away goes the beds to the steam cleaning plant. They are washed well, give the trust credit for doing that. But the feathers are blown full of very: " live'steam? and they sweltT’When tfie time comes to stuff the fluffy feathers back into their cases only about half can be crammed in. The other half is shipped to a Toronto factory, where feather beds are made. Thehousewife gets back her feather bed---For sixmonthsit is soft and Ibvely. Then it develops their spots and lumps. About this time a new young salesman comes into the town selling factory made feather beds. He knows just where to make sales. Funny Isn’t it, that all" the best money making ideas are comely and simple. ; .
