Chicago, Dec. 14. Twelve thous
and Illinois men have been
missioned ns special ^constables in
of the most highly lorganized
anti-cruelty societies in the United
States.
Formed four years ago as the De-
> partment of Constabulary of the
State Society for Prevention
Cruelty and Apprehension of Horse
I and Automobile Thieves, the organ!,
j ratio has extended into every
ty, and is now branching out in
Indiana and Wisconsin under similar
laws. There are already nearly
thousand members in each of those
[ states.
Organized along semi-military
lines, the constabulary forms
adjunct to the regular paid peace
officers, ready to assign in any
emergency, or to take charge In the
absence of the regular authorities.
While tha original purpose of the
movement was to prevent cruelty and
track horse and automobile thieves,
the department now maintains auto
mobile patrols, operates a special
intelligence service of ferret out vice
gambling, boouegging and other
offenses, and furnishes
keep order at fires and in other
emergencies.
Among the cases brought by the
constabulary, and now pending in
Chicago courts, is one in which a
large teaming contractor is accused
of underfeeding 500 horses. As e
result of the society's work accord
ing to Waiter P. Stuart, general
snperinteiident of constabulary,
diseased, overworked and underfed
horses have practically been eliminat
ed from Chicago.
The constabulary has a troop in
every police precinct In Chicago,
several in the outlying townships,
troop in each downstatq coun-

It is something of an accomplish. ' A
ment, the secretary said, to control 1 { $
the shape of the pig’s nose and the|||
curl of his tail. Its another matter of **
merit to control the form and the col
and the shape and make the ani
mals beautiful as well as useful, ac.
cording to the secretary’s views.
"You and the man who hnve gono
before you,” he continued, “have
moulded the animal from not only to
satisfy the eye of the lover of good
live stock and to satisfy the taste of
the epicure, but to meet the needs of
commerce. Working with un-
forccs year nftcr year, you have
finally produced in living form the
ideal which your brain conceived.”
Then as to the science of the busi-!
(ss as it is rcllccted in the flow of
commerce, the secretary mentioned
that hog growers in this day and age
change the form as the needs require
adding to or taking from it, pro.
ducing more fat or more lean, m<
bacon or more lard, larger hams
smaller hams, “as the changing char
acter and the supply of feed oi
changing tastes of the consumers
make necessary. It is a real job, the
secretary asserted, and one in which
the federal government is vitally in
terested, because among other rea-
groat meat eating and meat
producing nation is one that never
suffers from famine.
Such a nation as this, he said, has
in its live stock great storage reser
voirs for grains and grass and great
national plants for the refining of
foods unsuitable for human consump
tion “to the extent unrealized by the
most of the world.” During the last
year, the speaker said, the hogs have
paid for the corn they ate about twice
the price for which it could have been
Id on the markets.
The secretary told of many experL
ments being carried on by the depart,
ment, which it was hoped would ben
efit the industry.
“The swine growers of the south,”
he continued, “have had a great deal
of trouble with soft pork. In many
sections the carcasses do not stand
up well, and consequently tha pack,
era are buying these hogs at a dia.
count We are studying this problem
in cooperation with seven different
southern experiment stations. All
of the scientific laboratory work,
slaughtering testa, physical and
chemical examinations aro made on
oar own farm at Beltavillo, Md., the
hoga being shipped in at different
times. We are trying to learn how
the flesh of hogs fed heavily on pea
nuts and peanut meal, soy beans and
rice by-products used largely in the
south may bo hardened by later feed

through a Christmas Club
r f you’ve been putting off buying your Columbia Grafonola till
you can spare the price—stop stopping, at once! Everywhere,
Columbia Dealers are forming Community Christmas Clubs. You
pay a dollar membership fee and this goes to your credit at once,
your Columbia is sent home the same day or, as many wish, it will
be delivered on Christmas Eve. The rest of it can be arranged
between you and the Columbia man on most any terms you like.
Go to the Columbia Dealer in your vicinity and look at his
display of Columbia stream-line models. Let him demonstrate
Columbia tone. Let him explain the ten points of superiority
that have lifted the Columbia out of the mechanical phonograph
class. Let him tell you the new low prices that make the Columbia
the moet inexpensive, worth-while phonograph on the market
Then think! Home and Christmas. Home and music and Christ
mas. How music ties the two ideas closer together. Of all the
year, Christmas is tha ideal time to own a Columbia—the dear
old songs, the steppy-peppy dances, the droll comedians. A
Columbia is the one great gift for Christmas. Go see the Columbia
man to-day.
