Mr.. Charles Ii. Jarman, of near
Chester bridge, has found remedy
for hog cholera and it is so simple that
every farmer who has sick hogs can try
it. He says he lost hog after hog after
trying every remedy he could read or
hear of and finally he stumbled over
this one: Keep the hogs away from
water Don't let them have any water
for several days nor give them much to
eat. At the end of four days begin
to feed very little grain and don't let
them have much water. Try it on
hogs which have just contracted the
disease. 1t will not help hogs that are
desperately sick.-Kent (Chestertown)

NOTICE
To Shippers Of PeFiShable Freight L0ta-
ted on the Linz Of the Delaware DiVS-
ion, P. B. & W. R. R.

In pursuance of the policy inaugusated
last season, the Philadelphia, Baltimore &
Washington, r. r. Co. will, so far as it may
have equipment available for that purpose, |
furnish TO shippers of perishable freight on
the Delaware Division dry refrigerator cars
during the season of 1907.
The icing of these dry refrigerator cars
at initial point is to be performed by the
shipper, and at his expense, and the Rail-
road Company will, upon the written re-
quest of the shipper, and at the regular
charge therefor, to be paid by the latter,
re-ice the cars en- route at any OF Company's
regular icing stations.
Requests for these cars must be made by
shippers upon the agent at shipping station
a reasonable time in advance of their use
and shippers will understand that the icing
of the cars at initial point must be done by
them in thorough and efficient manner,
so as to carry the cars in proper condition
to the first icing station, and that the rail-
road company will not be responsible for
the refrigeration of the fruit or vegetables
transported in such cars, other than to the
extent of re-icing the same as directed, or
when directed, as herein-before stated.
By reason of the fact that the Railroad
Company will furnish dry refrigerator cars
as above, it is doubtful whether the private
car lines will undertake to furnish refrigera-
ton in individual cars, and this subject is
brought to the attention of shippers at this
early date with view of giving them
ample time to provide for an ice supply to
be used in connection with the dry refrige-
rator cars next season.
1t should, however, be understood that.
in case any shipper shall make arrangements
with the private refrigerator lines for the
use of the equipment of such lines, the
Railroad Company will handle such equip
ment over its lines in the same manner as il
will handle its own equipment.

and women young girls and little children who work in the shops in this city. Only last Christmas there were cases of such utter exhaustion that many a young woman dragged herself to her room, too worn and weary to do anything but drop into bed and Christ mas morning dawned upon weary peo- pie who, instead of rejoicing at the Christmas tide, felt more like cursing it. It is not too early to begin the reformation. There Is general re- action towards the simple Christmas, which means first of all consideration of the workers. eliminating as far as lies in our power their hardships by showing our approval of movement that cannot fail to modify them.
 These hardships and disadvantages Of continuing at this high rate of pres sure and thereby infringing upon the rights and happiness of others are well set forth in the following letter sent out by the New York committees
 Observation might show many of us that Christmas Is time of hardships for those who have to do with suplpy- ing the needs of Christmas shoppers. Authentic records from the lives of clerks. delivery boys, and drivers of wagons show that, while we are keep ing the Christmas festival while we are feeding the lame and halt the blind and friendless, we are lightly reducing to illness and exhaustion the young and strong and faithful who serve us, seen and unseen.
 Every year the celebration Of Christ mas grows more elaborate More pres ents are bought; the crowds are great err the decorations are more splendid. The problems of the merchants are correspondingly more complex; the sup ply has to be increased; the pressure at every point intenslfies. On the one hand, public opinion disappears long hours and late work, particularly for young women, girls and children. On the other hand. merely through though tlessness, many shoppers deter their purchases until the last possible moment, at the cost of unnecessary strain upon salespeople and delivery forces.
 By joint effort of editors and mer- chants, the idea can be brought home to millions of customers that they can ben eft themselves and every one concerned if they will do their Christmas shop ping early in the season and early In attended the Christmas crowds. Jacop A.

BIRMINGHAM JOINS IN NATIONAL MOVEMENT TO
 MODIFY HARDSHlPS INCIDENT TO HOLIDAY SHOPPING

Riis, Mark Twain, Richard Watson Gil- der, editor the Century Edward Box. editor the Ladies' Home Journal; Leigh Reilly, editor the Chicago Evening Post; Lyman Abbott, editor the Outlook; Adolph S. Ochs, publisher New York Times; 8. W. Woodward of Woodward & Lathrop. Washington, D. C.; Nathan Straus of R. H. Macy & Co.,, New York; Edward Fflene of William Filene's Sons Co.,, Bos- ton; Florence Kelley, secretary National Consumers League; Edward T. Devine, editor.
 Tn reference to the movement for early Christmas shopping, Miss Florence Kel- ley, secretary of the National Consumers league, which has a membership of wom- en in every city in the country pledged to work for the safeguarding of women and children in industry, said in re- cent interview:
 "Never before in any month of Mo- vember has so large a number of mer- chants notified their customers that the Christmas goods are at hand ready for inspection and purchase. Never have so many consumers leagues mailed to their members appeals to shop early in the sea- son. early in the week, and early in the day. In some cities, postal cards carry printed personal appeal In others cards in the street cars and store windows bear the legend.
 Everywhere, however, the most effect i've pressure upon the thoughtless public comes from the merchants and the press, through daily advertising and friendly editorials.
 Tt is astonishing the number of people who profit by this vast concerted effort to abolish the Christmas cruelties. The shoppers themselves find now in the stores good air and good will awaiting them, which (sinister thoughtD will grow less every day as Christmas approaches. The clerks are still unwearied by the jostling crowds, and can extend courtesy which day by day will grow more diff cult, if not more scant. These, however, are merely the visible part of the army of workers concerned. Unseen, and, alas! unremembered, are the shipping and packing and wrapping forces, the de- liverymen, and boys, and remotest of all from the gay holiday throngs of mid December are the candymakers, toymak- CTS, boxmakers. the innumerable work shop and factory employees whose over time work follows the belated orders and careless delays of the shopping multi tude."

the day. This will lengthen the Christ mas shopping period and reduce the dis advantages which, In other seasons, have ments from now until December 20. Every effort is being made to enlist the CO., operation of editors and women's clubs in every American city.
 In the plea to eliminate the Christmas rush for the sake of workers in the shops, in the factories, the packers, the ship pers and the great army of busy people from the little cash girls to the express messengers Is also the practical reason for shopping early when there Is ample time for selection and better opportunity for more satisfactory shopping to all con cerned.
 Reason, common sense, economy and consideration for others may each be urged in the common appeal to break away from the latter-day observance of Christmas and to go back to the Christ mas that meant peace and happiness. No one can deny that the Chrlstinas sea- son has lost much of its charm of sim plicity and peaceful interchange of greet ings and gifts, much of the dear delights of childhoods mysteries and surprises. Life moves along so rapidly and has be- come so complex and feverish that we do not even take time to be happy. We are admonished to take time to be holy. Do we not also need to be reminded to be happy?
 Tn entering on this blessed advent season we feel constrained to a little preachment in relation to the observ- ance of that holiday time that never fails-no matter how hurried and wor- ried we are-to bring echoes of the message of peace on earth, good will to man. But these busy people in the shops--these men and women who are so necessary to our well-being-how can they have peace" how can they feel good will to men when their very souls are almost hurried out of them by thoughtless shoppers.
 Records of exhaustion and illness have followed in the wake of holiday shopping to such an extent that we can no longer be blind to the hardships and sufferings of the workers to whom Christmas has lost all semblance of peace.
 Birmingham can be cited as an ex- ample of the typical, rushing Ameri- can city, whose observance of Christ mas has resulted in physical exhaus- tion and misery for hundreds of men

WHAT SHE READS

AR. Robert Aitken's "The Golden M Horse Shoe" fMc Bride publishers) VI Is now running the gauntlet of criticism, already attracting conspicuous attention as the most striking story of adventure published during the year. In New York the book is having tremend- ous sale.
 Not since Richard Harding Davis wrote Soldiers of Fortune has a book been written which will hold the readers in- terest as does this rattling story of love and adventure The scene opens in the Fifth Avenue hotel in New York. and the reader is carried with a dash to a South American republic, which is seething hotbed of revolution and in- trigue. Action is the keynote of the au- thor's story, and the pages that fol-, low will do credit to one of the great est writers of modern romance.
 The author has shown himself a mas ter of pure romance, with dramatic plot and his handling of climaxes com mands interest throughout the book. The local color Is strong and interwoven into the story are many striking inci- dents of love and adventure

n BIRMINGHAM has joined in the gen. n eral movement to modify the hard L> ships incident to holiday shopping The first organization to declare itself in line with the national campaign-is the board of directors of the Young Womens Christian association, who have pledged themselves to shop early in the month and early in the morning, fully realizing the hardships of business men and women during the busy holiday season. In its appeal for a saner, happier Christmas, the women who compose the board have agreed to use their influence in getting others to shop early in order to eliminate the rush of Christmas buying. Among the Birmingham women leading in this appeal are Mrs. F. T. Taliaferro, Mrs. c. P. Orr, Mrs w. H. Walker, Mrs T. O. smith, Mrs. Robert Cecil, Mrs. e. T. Randall, Mrs. T. G. Bush, Miss Annie l.. Williams, Mrs. E. J. Bryan, Mrs. Walter Reasley, Mrs. James Bowron, Mrs. E. F. Enslen, Mrs Mark B. Lewis, Mrs. R. $. Munger, Mrs. I. D. Steele.
