Possible Cholera.
IN Iowa correspondent writes:

Il have 100 head of pigs, farrow-
ed the middle Of April There are
three of them sick. | do not know
what their sickness is or what
to do Tor them. How should | treat
them. and what can do to prevent
the disease from spreading to others9
| will describe the disease as follows
They seem to get sick very sudden
ly, refuse to eat, smell of the grain,
and act as though they wanted to
eat. Then they 60 away, and may
be lie down for while or simply
stand and look around and then 90

| give them about sixty ears of
corn a day, They have had no
cough or any other trouble to in
dictate that they would be sick A
lot of pigs have died in this part of
the country from sickness, but l
have seen no one who seems to
know what the trouble is.
In general way this description
applies quite closely to the general
symptoms of hog cholera. Lack Of
appetite, diarrhoea. lying down, and
loss Of flesh are all common symp-
toms of the progress of hog cholera.
Later a cough may develop and the
hinder parts appear paralyZed. We
would regard hogs affected with
these symptoms with suspicion and
unless we were quite familiar with
hog cholera syptoms ourselves
would call in a veterinarian to
make a careful inspection. A
characteristic of hog cholera in the
latter stages is watering of the eyes
aad infammationo of the skin around
the flank, forelegs and ears.
Of course. it may be that these
pigs are not affected with cholera at
all, but merely have bad case of
diarrhoea. In such a case we
would cut down the food supply
and give physic of three ounces
of castor oil for each one hundred
pounds of hog flesh. To stop the
SECURING, the following given in
half teaspoonful doses three times
daily is good: Bismuth subnitrate

ounce; bicarboante of soda, one-hall

Chinese Sailors Drink Little.

New York, Sept. ID. Chinese
sailors ashore drinks little or not ct
all, and we have practically no
trouble about men OverStaying shore
leave. They are quite and peace
full and rarely get into trouble"
Lieut. G. Y. Tseh of the Chinese
cruiser Hal Chi, now anchored in
the Hudson, thus praised the men
of the Celestial navy as he slipped
tea in the wardroom. More than
100 sailors had had shore leave,
but the Lieltenants remarks in
dicated that New York had not
proved their undoing, as it has to
many an American jacky. In
groups of five and ten, the sailors,
shOrn of their queues and dressed
very much like Yankee tars, wand
cred placidily about the city, gazing
curiously at everything, yet undis-
turbed by trafic's roar or whizzing
motor cars. Many abandoned a
general sightseeing tour for a more
intimate inspection of New Yorks
Chinatown,
Three squads went to the theateI
to see an American play. The old
Chinese theater in Chinatown was
abandoned some months ago, so the
pleasure of a native play wa,
denied.
Of the more than 500 visitors tC
the cruiser, fifteen were Chinese
students, several Of whom had come
from out of town to view will

WHAT 1T COSTS NOT TO 90 TO
SCHOOL.

Everlasting sorrow No one ever
went to a good business college
with honest intent and serious pur-
pose who did not consider it money,
time and labor well expended.
Thousands who have not gone regret
the fact that they did not. You
can 90 if you really hunger and
thirst for an education.
Nowhere else will you meet such
choice companions. The earth's
modest young people are in the
colleges, and at no other time of
life can you make such strong and
lasting friends, Girls and boys
from our most cultivated homes
assemble annually at our college.
If you do not 60 to college these
choice friendships are lost to YOU
forever
Do not postpone your going to
college Youth is the time for
preparation, just as spring is the
seed-time. The farmer who does
not plant his seed in spring time
has no harvest. If he hasn't the
money to 90 to college. borrow it
and pay it back out of salary earn
ed after graduation. You can do
this; many of our most successful
men attended college on borrowed
money.
Business education is an asset
worth thousands. 1t is an equip
ment for life's work, 1t gives the
power to earn. It destroys poverty
and enthrones prosperity. 1t can
not be lost or stolen.
You cannot afford, dear young
reader, not to attend the Moberly
Commercial College of Moberly, Mo.
1t is positively Missouri's best
school of Bookkeeping and Short

Origin Of "Chautauqua."

The word "chautauqua" says the
Higginsville Jefferson, has an inter-
esting history. Long ago when the
ancestors of the Senacas came to
the margin of the beautiful Lake
Chautauqua after a successful hunt
they camped upon its borders for
the night. A sudden storm arose.
The waves became SO high that
their camp was jeopardized and in
the unavoidable confusion a little
child was swept away beyond their
reach and lost in the bottom of tie
lake. Thereafter, the lake was
known as Chaddaukwa, The place
where the child was carried away"
now anglicized into its present form
-"Chautauqua." The chautauqua
assembly Of today is the place
where not only the child, but the
man and woman are carried away"
not to death, but to bigger. broader,
and more enlightened life.
