Hog Cholera or Swine Plague as it
is sometimes called is highly conta-
gious disorder.
When hog shows any symptoms of
this disease. he should be isolated at

to save the other hogs if possible.

two parts milk in a bottle and give
every sick hog a tablespoonful of this
mixture night and morning for three
days. Sloan's Liniment is powerful
antiseptic, kills the disease germs,

Crops of all kinds that are raised fur

farmers in the older states are selling
their high priced lands, and investing
where the prices are advancing rapidly.

A RARE OCCURRENCE.
A Mountain Torrent That Froze in a
Night.

N4Sul.
j. Claude White, writing of his ex-
periences in Bhutan, in the Wide World
magazine, gives the following description
of very rare occurrence-the freezing
of mountain torrent in single night,
The phenomenon was one that | have
never before eXperienced-a running
river frozen solid in a night. When we
arrived the waters of this stream, tum-
bling over the great boulders and rush
ing through the tortuous channels, made
deafening roar. Gradually, but almost
imperceptibly, the tumult decreased.
while, worn out after a hard day. we
fell asleep. A few hours later. when
we awoke. a deathly silence prevailed,
and on looking out, to my intense sur
prise, | found that the rushing torrent
of the previous night had been trans
formed into q solid mass of ice. In this
region of extreme temperatures | had on
other occasions seen torrents frozen, but
never under such startling conditions.
On looking round we found that every
thing we possessed was also frozen solid,
including our saddle of mutton, which
was merely a block of ice. We were
ravenous. but we got no satisfaction
from gnawing at Jumps of rock which
ought to have been a succulent Joint
and so, despite our hunger, we had to
content ourselves with a little tea-to
make which we melted ice-and a few
biscuits.

A Queer Cure Which Is the Latest

The newest and queerest cure for
nervous disorders in Paris is threshing
with vinegar-soaked towels. 1t is said
to be a painful but sure cure for nerv-
Gus debility and nervous prostration.
This is the way of it: The victim is sent
into a dark room, and the doctor, armed
with a long, rough towel STEPPED in
vinegar, proceeds to thrash him all over
the body. constantly redipping the towel
in vinegar.
The patient is then vigorously rubbed.

PEARY GETS PATENT
ON ARCTIC CLOTHING

Washington.-Apart from the
north pole controversy Commander
Robt. E. Peary has achieved at least
one triumph for the benefit of man.
kind as a result of his latest northern
dash. This is the invention Of COM
hined coat and hood, obviously for
use in arctic attitudes for which the
government has granted a patent to
the explorer. The official gazette de-
scribes it as garment made of sub
stantial non-stretchable material
adapted to cover the trunk, arms and
head Of the wearer. having a body
portion. arms and hood. There are
no openings except at the bottom, the
ends Of the sleeves and the face por-
ton Of the hood. Naturally the Peary
Jacket, as it might be called. slips
over the head. The openings are pro-
vided with rims of fur, forming a
sort Of packing about the wrists, face
and wrist to keep out the cold air.

the man behind the guns He is com
ing to the conclusion that he doesn't
care for chewing tobacco, or that It is
not nice habit, or that he hasn't
time to chew and be about his busi-
ess, too. Last year the navy depart
ment contracted for 100000 pounds of
chewing tobacco for the use OF the
men on the fleet This year the CON
tracts will call for about 10000 less
than one-third of that amount.
There was time when chewing to-
bacco was as important a feature of
the ships commlssary as the allow
ances OF grog was to Captain Kidd's
crew and Captain Marryat's sallors.
But the modern sailor has changed his
habits. He is daintier sort of per-
son by far. a cleaner cut. more order
ly being, who has not lost altogether
his social perspective. Nowadays the
sailor prefers a cigarette to the quid
of tobacco, but on the whole he is
less inclined to both nicotine and grog
than he has ever been before.

commodities which may be imported

been devoted to other subjects. The
same result would have been obtain
ed and congress would have gained

decided 10 let the islands send over
all the cigars and sugar they could.
SO far there is no indication that
there is any chance of exceeding the
limit imposed.
The bureau of insuiar affairs Of the
war department has been informed
that during the month Of September
7355,000 cigars were shipped from
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-11-26

the Philippines to the United States
and $4,000 tons of sugar. These fig
ures are accepted ss a fair monthly
average. At this rate of expectation
there will be many less than the 150,-
100000 cigars allowed free entry
Similarly, it is not expected that
there will be 100000 tons of sugar
Much of the sugar which cleared for
the United States during the month
ot September was held back pending
the action Of congress so that it is
likely that there viii be a smaller
amount shipped during the forthcom-
ing months Of the fiscal year.

Observations Regarding Two, Great

chine-Wr,ght Bros. Involved In
''''S",iCr = p-ctcc. Rights.

Washngton.-Pity the poor inven-
tor II there is anything to be said
of him, according to General Allen,
chief signal officer of the army, it is
that he works hard for nothing. In
most cases he pays more to secure his
patents than he gets out of them. II
he consoles himself with the deluson
that he has evolved something new
for the service of humanity he is
again wrong
This observation of General Aliens
was called forth by the fate OF pat
onts on the two most extraordinary
inventions of recent years, both Of
which came within the province of
the signal corps. They are the fly
ing machine and wireless telegraphy.
Wireless telegraphy patents have led
to some glory. much litigation and
more or less chaos. The men who
proposed to make fortunes have been
grievously disappointed. Any anna
teur can set up his instruments nowa-
days and operate to his own sweet
will. Patent laws will not affect him
and there are no other laws TO reg
ulate his actions. He can do as well
as the discoverer who spent a fortune
and years of labor to make his pas
time possible.
The value Of the patents of the
Wright brothers is to be tested anon
in cases of trial for infringement.
Whether the Wrights will be more
successful than the wireless inventors
i yet to be proven. It is doubtful.
Efforts will be made to show that
Shanute possessed all the secrets of
the Wright aeroplane before the
Wrights built it, Even Prof. Langley.
due to the derision his unsuccessful
attempts at flying called forth from
certain members of congress. Is said
to have known some of them himself.
In view of all this it is a question
whether Wilbur and Orville Wrights
achievements will be one of more than
passing glory. If the courts decide
that their patents are merely the
fruits of others thinking there is no
reason why the amateur should not
run the risk of breaking his neck
on a machine of his own construc-
tion after the pattern of the Wright
aeroplane, just as he has been free
to dabble in wireless telegraphy.
The men who make money at in
vention are those who design coffee
pot handles or aluminium pants but
tons. The aeroplane inventor may
have the glory but to the former is
