Surgeon General Blue Urges
Establishment Of "Lepro-
sarium"- Principal Trou-
bic Would Be IN Finding
Location.

The prevalence of leprosy in the United
States has reached the proportions Of a
national problem, according to DR.. Ru-
pert Blue. Surgeon General OF the United
States Public Health Service DIR. Blue
urges the establishment, either by the
government or by private philanthropy,
OF a national home for lepers-a 'lepro-
sarium''-for the care of all reported cases
in the United States proper.
1t is estimated that there are now be-
tween $50 and 400 cases OF Ieprosy in the
United States. In 1872 there were l+6 Off
cially reported, and only eighteen States
and the District of Columbia require the
reporting OF leprosy cases. In the United
States and possessions there were 3,62i
officially reported cases
'Ieprosy is more common in the United
States than is generally known or than
statistics show" says DR.. Blue. "On ac-
count Of the communicability of leprosy
and its mutilating effects on individuals
the presence of the disease in any COM
munity is a matter for concern. Leprosy
is known to exist in many States, and in
all Of our island possessions. Scarcely a
week passes that the public health service
does not receive a report on the discovery
Of one or more cases in Continental
United States. The disease has increased

OLDEST HUNTER HoNoRED.
Grove stanard, 81, Made Member OF
Fox Hunt Club.

Special to The Washington Herah.
winstei, Conn, Nov. l3-Grove Stanard,
eighty-seven years old, the Oldest fox
hunter in Connecticut, was honored by
the Connecticut Fox Hunters Club or
ganized here last week, being enrolled as
the first honorary member. Mr.. Stanard
has chased Reynard since he was a boy
in East Canaan, where he was born
August s. 1896. and has killed hundreds
of foxes in that long period.
Mr.. Stanard likes the long-eared, old
fashioned, deep-voiced hound in prefer
ence to the short-eared, sharp. choppy-
voiced Southern hound so generally used
in New England nowadays, and he is OPP
posed to the trapping OF foxes because
so many dogs fall prey to the traps.

ESTIMATES FOR THIS YEAR
Annual Appropriations by Govern

In Road Improvement.

No better idea of the forward
strides being made by the office OF
public roads can be had than from
figures connected with the annual ap
propriations The appropriation for
the present fiscal year is s41.400 more
than for the preceding year. while the
estimate for the fiscal year OF 1913
1914 is S1s4. 100 more than the present
allotment One of the items meu.
toned in connection with the appro-
priation for the coming fiscal year is
roadmaking investigation. for which
work an increase of SIS. 900 is asked.
The present amount available for such
work is s75. 600. The next highest IN.
crease is asked for road MANAGEMENT.
ss1, 900, as bat $4,000 is available this
year The amount now ready for use
in field experiments. $4,000, the Office
would like doubled. Included in this
list OF necessary increases is one for

other branches of the government
service that are striving to raise the
pay of the government clerk. The ap.
propriation asked for this is a raise
from $4,000 for the present year to

WARM SL0P BEST FOR HOGS
Helps to Break Down Feed Better
and II Induces Better Circulation
of Animals Blood.

Whether intended for breeding hogs;
or for fattening hogs, 1t is better at
his time of the year to mix the cop
lp with hot instead of cold water.
Fattening hogs handle large quanti-
lies of feed and considerable energy
IS given off In the process of Digestion
which can be used for warming feed
which is eaten without much waste.
and yet even fattening hogs do better

% the digestive tract than does cold
water. Breeding stock that gets less
feed has no surplus energy to spend
In warming water. and IL It is given
cold slop. 1t must use energy that
might be put to far better use to
warm It. In other words. II is cheap
or to use natural fuel than to use the
fuel inside Of the pigs body by the
breaking down of food nutrients.
One of the great difficulties always
encountered with breeding sows dur
ing the winter is TO get them to drink
sufficient water. They should drink
a great deal Of 1t. not alone because
they need II for body functions. but
also that they will be kept satisfied
without eating SO much dry feed as to
make them overfat. Water fills with
out furnishing many nutrients.
Under ordinary conditions, as soon
as water begins to get real cold. hogs
refuse to drink much of 1t, and so
they require larger ration Of other
feed before they are satisfied. II on
the other hand the water is warmed
and 10 mixed In sufficient quantity
with their feed they will take Il into
their systems without the slightest
objections and will be much better on
for IT,
The feed bill will also be smaller at
the same time. Whether the slop is
warmed for fattening stock or not.
I'VE would certainly advise that 1t be
for the breeding stock. Where the
herd Is small. 1t Is often feasible to
warm the water for slop in the house,
but in case Of large herd one of the
various feed cookers on the market
would no doubt best be procured.
