Several Hundred Fine POrkers Have
Died of Cholera.

Unless the plague of hog cholera
ceases a great many of the farmers
will have to buy their meat another

hogs have died. About this time
every year hog cholera develops, but
the present fatalities are greater than
any of previous years. 1t is not con-
fined to any one section, but is prev
alent all over the county, and hun
dreds of fine porkers have gone to

find no help for the disease except
the segregation of the diseased hogs.

BREATHE THROUGH YOUR EARS

In those prehistoric times when you were

our gills. and II we still did tuberculosis and all
kindred germs would have batting average of

Such are the teachings of DIR. John G. Davis
of the University of Virginia medical department,
delivered before local body OF medical Students
according TO a Washington correspondent OF the
Pittsburgh Dispatch.
You can exhale air through the ears now. Just
take a chest full of air, close the nostrils and
try to exhale, The air will come out through the
ears. Muscles Of this old breathing organ have
been out Of practice for few thousand years
and 1t will require some practice to get them in
order
Il would advise mothers to train their children
in this new but old mode OF breathing. It will
greatly help against many troubles. as there
would be no chance of getting infectious matter
into the lungs or throat& After little practice
child will be able to close or shut his ears Just

Originally the nose used for smelling
