SOUTHWEST HOGS HEALTHY.
Live in the Open and Are Entirely
Free from TubercuIoSia.

Free from TubercuIoxia.
A circular recently issued by the De-
partment or Commerce and Labor shows
that the hog IN the Southwest Is entirely
free o. tuberculosis. Another satisfac-
tory report made is that only per cent
OF the hogs in the United States are af-
fected by the disease. The report points
that Texas Oklahoma and Arkansas
hogs are not susceptible 70 this disease
because they are kept in the open for
the greater part Of the year and are
hardly ever confined.
Another reason for the absence Of the
disease among hogs in the Southwest is
that the animal in that part is not sub
jected to a rigorous climate. Lung fever
Is practically unknown. the weather be-
ing never cold enough TO permit the de-
velopment of this disease. February and
March, when many hogs IN the Northern
States succumb, are very mild in the
Southwest.

Latta Startles Congressman

| ident came off; but Mr. Latta sudden
ly lost his voice and had a hard time
unloading his impedimenta and the
proper formal speech. He managed to
get through it, and in time-by rea-
son, of course, of the constant prac-
tice during the Roosevelt administra-
tion-acquired a commendable nom
chalance about it.
But he never dreamed of appearing
in any other costume than the long
and dignified black frock coat of
craftsmanship. 1t was supposed that
garb was as necessary for him as
the flowing robes of black which add
something to the terror with which
the supreme court judges inspire a
lawyer appearing before them for the
first time. What, therefore, was the
establishment when he appeared the
other day in a natty sack suit and de.
livered his message with the ease of
telegraph boy with MESSAGE
One explanation offered is that Mr..
Latta has to make the trip so seldom
nowadays that he can't arrange al
ways to have the long skirted coat
handy.

. AsHINGToN.- Efforts to uplift the

VIZ ASHINGTON.-E to uplift the
w business women of Washington,
$4,000 of whom earn their livelihood at
service in the government depart
ments, have received a setback.
Some time ago it occurred to a
group of well-meaning society women
in New York that it would be nice to
uplift all these working women. About
the same time the National Civic Fed
Grafton of Women began busying itself
with the women in the Washington
departments. 1t took on the great
bureau of engraving and printing, in
which women are employed, and pro-
ceeded to look for things that needed
to be improved
The bureau of engraving and print
ing is the place where the money is
made; hundreds on hundreds of mil
lions of dollars worth of treasury
notes and bank notes are turned out
there every year.
When the Civic Federation of Won
en- sent a committee to do some uplift-
ing these money manufacturing WON
en- doubted whether they really needed
any charity. They earn comfortable
livingS, have their own places in so
ciety, go to the theater, and never be,
fore thought of themselves as in need
of any uplift from the Manhattan di.
Tection
The New York women, fearing that
the working women were overawed
