not be known until to-day. Mr.. and
Mrs. Price escaped serious injury, and
their little girl was scratched on the
forehead. The motor car was thrown
sixty feet.
According to witnesses. the nutomo-
bile was going west directly behind
an open street car. AT the point where
the accident happened, 1t turned out.
apparently for the purpose of moving

was summoned, and Mr.. and Mrs. Rag
land we're hurried to their home, 4j2
Cowartlin Avenue where they were
attended By the family physician. 1t
was said there last night that while
Mrs. .Ragland had no bones broken it
was feared that she was injured inter
nally. Mr.. Ragland's broken hand
gave him considerable pain. 1t was
also said that Mr.. and Mrs. Price We're
unhurt, although the escape of the en-
tire party from death was regarded as
miraculous.
C. E. wingo, of Eleventh and
Semmes Street, was JUST returning
from work at Belle Isle and saw the.
accident. He said the collision came
so quickly that he could not say who
was to blame. ETe asserted, however,
that the trolley car was moving at
great speed. Patrolman Eddie Way
mack was aboard of the southbound
Hull Street car. He said last night
that Mr.. Price was in the rear of his
car and travelling slowly Mr. Price
then turned aside to pass and was
crashed into by the approaching car.

Cholera "Cures."

A correspondent wants remedy

treatment for chicken cholera have
been found entirely unsatisfactory
because Intellectual. Every now ana
then sure cure is suggested, Dut
when tried sufficiently. it is found
wanting, like all the others.
Much of the so-called chicken choi-
era is not cholera, and right here is
where most of the so-called cures
have built up false reputation. With
genuine cholera all treatment has
been found Intellectual
In handling chicken cholera, there
fore, thorough disinfection and sepa-
rating the well birds from the sick
ones and removing them to fresh, un-
infected quarters, is the only safe
plan. If the well birds can not be
then the sick ones must be,
and thorough cleaning up, disinfect-
ing and whitewashing practiced. 1t
is a germ disease and is best kept
out by care not to introduce new
birds until they are known to be free
Of disease, and when once in, is best
by burning all diseased
birds and complete disinfection.

others from two to three feet: some
