NOWFAT .HAS GONE
s'I was so stout about 11 months
ago," a woman writes, "that I
became a burden to rmi rself. Then
muscular , rheumatism set into my
joints, and 1 had to go on sticks for
some time. 'Then '.I started to take
Kruschen Salts, and I am overjoyed
with the results I have d'erilvled from
them. Honestly, I had no idea one
could feel so different in such, a short
time. Since taking Kruschen,-1 have
lost nearly 28 lbs. of superfluous fat.
I can now runn, about as well as when
I was 20, cook, work, and attend to
seven growing children:"—(iMrs.) G:

IJnlike certain ,,drastic dr u g s,
Kruschen does not'aim to reduce, by
rushing food through the body ; its
action is not confined to a single part
of the system. It has a tonic influence
upon every organ of elimination,
every gland, every nerve, every vein.
Gently, but surely, it rids the system
of all fat -forming refuse, of all pois-
ons and harmful acids which give
rise to rheumatism, digestive disor-
ders, and many other ills.

New U. S. Labor Official
Has Often Been Arrested
Edward F. McGrady, just sworn in
as assistant secretary of labor, prob-
ably has been arrested .more often
than any other merruber of the pres-
ent administration.
;McGrady has 'been in the thick of
many union strikes. He was jailed
for his activities in behalf of the
United 'Mine Workers in Kansas and
was driven out of the "Happy Val-
ley" in eastern Tennessee during the
textile mill disorders there several
years ago.
The "Happy Valley" experience
was McGrady's most thrilling.
He had gone down to Elizabeth -
ton, Tenn., to help organize the
wonders in a German -controlled
rayon mill. The plight of thousands
of mountaineer men:, women and
children working at low wages had
aroused his sympathy.
When he reached Elizabethton, in
the heart of the,valley, he arranged
to speak before the executive com-
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce.
A few hours after he spoke, he
was escorted out of town by a caval-
cade of 20/automobiles. Left on a
desolate mountain roadside, he was
told that "foreigners" were apt to be
killed in the valley and it would be
better for his "life and limb" if he
stayed out for good. McGrady went
back the next day.
McGrady is an expert on modern
printing presses and was once press-
man and foreman of the Boston
Traveller. He participated in a long-
shoremen's strike in Boston when a
youth. A friend of those was asked
if McGrady didn't even then "throw
some pretty, strong speeches."
"No, it was bricks," was the an-
swer.
The folks back home may --like to
know that former Governor Theodore
Bilbo, of Mississippi, has found his
work picking up as a newspaper -
clipper of the Agricultural Adjust-
ment Administration.
)When last seen, the floor of his
tiny office was knee high in, torn
newspapers and Bilbo had 'brought
another pair of scissors for use in
his $6,000 a year job. Bilbo has but
one assistant to help hint. The pres-
ent secretary is his third since tak-
ing the clipping post.
He Raises Circus -
Lions For A Living
In surroundings totally unlike those
to which their ,jungle relatives are ac-
customiefi Charles Gay's 219 African
lions—ranging in age from a few
days to 17 years—are reared, and in
some eases trained at his lion farm
in California. In an article in Mod-
ern IMechanix, Mr. Gay says:
The most brilliant lion, I have
learned during a 'decade spent in this
queer business, displays less intelli-
gence than the commonest dog. Lions
face a wire barrier and accept their
captivity without question, •seeking
neither to climb up nor to burrow
under 'breedom. Dogs, on the other
hand, will make strenuous efforts to
escape from imprisonment.
Yet no animal receives' greater pub-
lic adulation than lions. Their great,
tawny heads shake; they emit ear-
splitting roars; they apparently fight
with trainers. Behind' their usually
calm eyes lurks great, and sometimes
immediate, danger. They are feroc-
ious beasts.
Oddly, those born in captivity pre-
sent greater threats to trainers than
'do jungle -born lions. W'hy? Be-
cause the jungle -bred lion, not halv-
ing known humans in youth, fears
and respects his master when at last
they are brought in contact.
'On the other hand, captive -,born
lions usually are petted during baby-
hood and familiarity breeds contempt.
'Behind the danger that is constant-
ly present stands this one fact: the
lion, no matter where, when and how

born, is a wild animal. He always
will be wild. He passes from baby-
hood at three years to the full-grown
lion stage. After that, look out!
I'have heard many people say that
roaring lions in a circus performance
are merely showing off when they
snarl..and snap at their trainer. In
a measure, this is true. Yet if you
will examine the history of lion train-
ers, you will find that the best of
them frequently look up at a hospital
ceiling while nursing wounds inflict-
ed in a moment of carelessness or
rage on the part of some mere or
less trusted animal.
Nearly ail the liens you see in 'acts'
were born in captivity. There is
good reason for that. • Net 'only can
circus owners purchase ‘home-grown'
lions cheaper, but they also get
healthier and more handsome anim-
als.
Normally a good specimen, costs $1,-
000. The price varies wit''r age and
appearance. Were we ahle to diag-
nose their future demeanor in the
big cage, we could charge nigher
prices for some, while others would
be givenaway merely to get them
out of our sight.
(Dispositions/ vary with individuals,
and generally the place atcl circuni-
stance ,of birth have no hearing on
this. By that, I mean an unruly lion
will be an unruly lion no matter whe-
ther he is born in Africa or at our
farm in southern California.
(Six years ago this summer we had
''barbies born at our farm. „The mother
abandoned them immediately.
'Presently one 'began to develop in-
to a high-strung, nervous, irritable
and vicious individual. The second
showed little interest in goings-on.
The third was quite docile. The mean
one insisted on being mean, and we
never could reform him.
Fortunately for my soundness of
body I make little effort to train
them. I Merely run a lion farm,
raising and exhibiting African lions.
While I make no effort to train
these brutes, I do have frequent oc-
casion to mingle with as many as 20
in a single group. Early I learned
that no lion can be trusted and, also
that their memory is short indeed.
This story will illustrate the brev-
ity of ,their memory. I have appear-
ed many times as a:circus trainer of
wild animals. 'One of my stunts was
to plate my heald within the wide
open jaws of a very large male. Be-
fore proceeding with this stunt, I
called the animal to the centre of the
arena and excited hdlml by flecking him
with a whip. In the midst of his
roaring, I 'ordered him to his Tiede-
stal.
Hardly had his haunches settled
on his platform when I called him
down again, pulled his mouth wide
open with my hands and suffered my
head to be encompassed 'by those en-
orinous jaws. Not only was he de-
prived of enough leverage to clamp
down, but also the break in routine
had caused him to forget all the tem-
per he had been working up less than
a minute before.
Some stories you "hear are unbe-
lievable, yet many of these are true.
bions may not be smart, •'but they
are treacherous. For that reason we
never turn one loose on our five -acre
farm, even though it is surrounded
by high fences. A system; of chutes'
with sections hinged so they may be
pulled,,out of the way when .not in
use, enables us to transfer lions
from enclosure to ,enclosure, from
cage to cage, at will.
After the third year every lion at
some time works himself into a frenzy
over some fancied grievance — or
merely because he is savage and gives
vent to his feelings. It is quite a
corunnon sight to see one of the big
fellows lashing himself with his tail,
his eyes open wide with hatred.
A renowned scientist announced re-
cently he had obtained evidence that
there grows at the tip of a lion's
tail a claw-like o$ject, presumably
for the purpose of punishing himself
the more severely during these tail -
lashings, thereby to add to his native
courage.
If any lion possesses such a claw
I never have seen one and I have
examined scores carefully in search
for it.
I think that diet accounts in large
measure for the beauty of domestic -
bred lions.
The Man Who Grew Roses
in .Sing Sing Penitentiary
The story of one of the most re-
markable prisoners in the history of
Sing Sing, the famous prison in New
York State, Charles S. Chapin, who
grew roses there, is told by Lewis
E. Lawes, warden of the prison:
Charles Chapin was a confessed
murderer. I first met him in Decem-
ber, 1919.
He was then about sixty years old
and had been in Sing Sin.g for almost
a year. He was frail and feeble.
It was hard to believe that this
man had been the news 'editor of one
of New York City's great dailies.
•Chapin was in prison for 'killing
his wife. I have always been will-
ing to accept his explanation that it
was not a premeditated murder, but
committed in a moment of despond-
ency and despair. ,
When I assumed the warlenship
of Sing Sing, Chapin was in the hos-
pital, not expected to live. •
"I think I'll put you to work,
Charlie," I said. "Something that I
think you will like. You will be edi-
tor of the Bulletin."
He was out of red in a week. And
he took hold of the Bulletin with an
expert hand. He soon built up a fine
prison paper.
But
t worked against
him. They decdeed the disccntinu-
ance of the publication of the Bulle-
tin. Chapin was again without a job.
Again he began to droop.
One tray I found Chapin vlaiting
for me in front of my office. "War-
den, I'd like to be assigned to a
special ,job. To take care of the
lawn. I think i could do it."
"It's all right with me," I said.
He came in with a request for
tools. He would need a lawn mower,
a sickle, a hose and a pair of clip-
pers. Eventually they were purchas-
ed, and the purchase used; up a quar-
ter of the budget for theare of the
grounds of Sing Sing that year.
Then Chapin had to wait till an-
other quarter rolled around before
money was available for grass seed.
It was a barren place, but as the
sumnner passed the lawn kept thriv-
ing and 'Chapin began to feel better.
Amlhition stirred within him. His one
desire was now to force that still
sterile soil to produce life. One morn-
ing the next fall Chapin stopped me
in the yard.
r"R have an idea, warden. I'd like
to make a small flower garden."
Suddenly I was ashamed of the
general appearance of the yard. "Tell
you what,' Charlie. Do the whole
job. Let's have a real garden, trees
and flowers. The boys will get a
thrill out of it."
'Chapin entered upon his new du-
ties with an energy that surprised
rne. He knew little if anything a-
bout gardening, He wrote to a
'friend who sent him the eight vol-
rnes of Luther Burbank, the floral
wizard. He found a few fellow -pris-
oners who, like himself, knew noth-
ing of gardening but were willing to
get to work.
First, piles of iron, wood and stones
had to he removed. That kleP t him
busy all winter. Soon he had about
thirty men working.
Toward spring, Chapin sent his
first order to a gardener in a nearby
town. The plants were shipped as
ordered, but the gentleman- followed
them up with a visit to Sing Sing td'
see what was being done with them.
He met Charlie and was shown over
the site of the prospective gardens.
Shortly, thereafter; Mr. F. R. Pier-
son of Tarrytown sent a truck -load
of plants, and other people favored
Charlie with seeds and plants.
The yard, a little over an acre in
area, was broken up into a series of
beds and borders. Surrounding the.
cell -block wall a long border was fill-
ed with flowers. Seats were placed
all around to permit the prisoners to
rest during recreation periods. Be-
-• ecn two stretches of turf in the
centre a cement foundation and basin
were built.
For three years Chapin worked un-
cea�ingly on his flower buds and his
garden.
Then a new drainage system for
the prison was being installed. New
pipes had to he laid. The contractor
was ruthless and cut wide swaths ilii
Chapin's gardens.
Chapin was never the same after.
lie was suddenly the helpless in-
valid and said, "1 ant -tired and want
to die."' And soon he did.
In Sing Sing Chapin's province has
been reconstructed, and rose hedges
again stand at its borders.
Cahada dominated the wheat posi-
tion at the Port of Bristol during the
year ended 'March, 1923, shipping ov-
er 200,000 tons out of a total 'import
of 359,000 tons.
