ITO PROTECT HOGS
X. s. A. C.. Issues Farmers' Bull
letin on Cholera Prevention.


Manhattan, Kan, Oct. 2S.-Hog
cholera IL one II the most dangerous
of stock diseases and can be SO easily
transmitted that the Kansas farmers
should take unusual care with their
porkers. This IL the advice of the
Kansas Agricultural college az re-
suit Of experiments made In various
parts Of the state.
1t was found that the cholera germs
were able to travel considerable dis
tances on a persons shoes or clothing:
that they lived long time In the mud
on wagon wheels that had been near
infected hogs: that germs falling Off
railroad cars with mud and refuse in
fected we'll hogs near the tracks and
that the germs were carried many
miles down stream until they reached
a place where hogs drank from the
stream. It was also found that the
kinds and that dogs. birds, chickens
were able to carry the germs for con-
siderable distances from sick or dead
hogs to well animals.
Just how this disease was spread has
been more or less of a mystery to
many people. It would suddenly APP
pear in q neighborhood and sweep it
clean Of hogs in a short time, al
though 1t had been years since cholera
had been prevalent In that neighbor-
hood. Just how any particular out
but the college has been able to prove
that the disease can be transmitted in
many ways and has issued q bulletin
to hog men urging them to take as
careful precautions Of their hogs as
they would Of their children, If there
were an infectious or contagious dis
ease in the neighborhood.

CHURCH IN A ROW
LeavenwOrth Congregation Ap.
peals to Officers for Aid.
Two Factions Fight for Power
in Christian Church.

Leavenworth, Kan. Oct. 2S.-Two
members Of the local police depart
ment were required Sunday to keep
peace at the Sunday school and church
services at the Riverside Christian
church. in the south part of the city.
The trouble. which had been brewing
for over a year, is a result of two fac
lions in the church attempting to Sc
cure power. No arrests were made, but
both factions have threatened to take
the matter to court and have the trOu-
BILE adjusted in q legal way.
The Rev. A. Mcfarland, who repre-
sents one faction. went to the police
station Saturday and requested Chief
Of Police Shaugf.nessy to send an OFF,
Ger to the church Sunday to assure
peaceful services. Patrolman John
Baker and Motorcycle Patrolman Wash
Lift were sent with orders to remain
until after the Sunday school and other
services. When the officers arrived
church leaders had elected another
from the pulpit.
The Rev. s. E. Kennedy, who IL a
cabinet maker employed by the Great
Western Manufacturing company, and
who acts as superintendent of the Sum-
day school, is said to be leader Of the
insurgent members Of the church.
According to ]. H. Jenkins, treasurer
Of the church and clerk of the board Of
trustees, the Rev. Mr.. Kennedy had
barricaded himself in the church before
Sunday school and refused to allow any
one to enter except those who belonged
to the faction of which he was the lead
err and their children. The trouble was
adjusted and Mr.. Kennedy was allowed
to conduct the Sunday school exercises.
DR.. Ramsey. a prominent member of
the church, said that during the past
several months both factions had re-
moved the locks from the church doors

The only sure way to get rid Of
dandruff is to dissolve 1t, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this. get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub 1t in gently with the finger
tips
Do this tonight. and by morning
most. IL not all, OF your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace Of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, 1us-
trous. glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel q hundred times better.
If you want to preserve your hair.
do by all means get rid Of dandruff,
for nothing destroys the hair more
quickly. 1t not only starves the hair
and makes 1t fall out, but it makes 1t
stringy, straggly, dull. dry, brittle and
lifeless, and every one notices it. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug store.

the work.-Adv.

Heavy Losses by Roads Because
of Bad Bills Of Ladlng.
Pribble Says Shippers Should
Help in New Movement.
BY MISDESCRIBED SHIPMENTS
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

In the loss and damage movement
Of the Santa Fe. it has been found that
an important item in the heavy losses
that the road sustains annually, is that
of the improper care Of bills of lading
In an address made recently before the
Topeka Traffic association, H. c. Prib-
BILE, freight claim auditor of the Santa
Fe, pointed out causes which are en-
tirely out Of the railroads. control and
can only be eliminated through the CO.
operative interest Of shippers.
One Of the causes that articles
have been started out in a manner
which will not insure classification,
billing and collection. Overcharges in
great numbers and in many instances
undercharges, are due to inaccuracies
and misdescriptionx on the part Of
tickets and bills of lading. It is i'm
portant that these documents properly
describe, according to the classified
ton and tariffs, the articles shipped.
not only to the character OF freight,
but also as to style Of package, wheth-
er in boxes, crates or bundles: whether
rested or nested solid: whether knock
Cd down, knocked down flat or set up
and Grated, as the freight is usually
classified according to the manner In
which it is packed. This cause Is so
prolific Of erroneous classifications
and ratings that it is placed among the
first Of damage Causes.
Another cause which Mr.. Pribble
pointed out is fllegible and poorly
written shipping tickets which are
also q menace tt the collection OF
proper freight charges and many are
presented which can scarcely be read.
They are understood by the check
clerk with the goods before him, but
the bill clerk, not having the advan-
tage of seeing the goods, is not al
ways clear. and as he is usually a busy
man, he does the best he can In bill
ing the goods out and as a result.
often Improperly describes the articles
on the waybill, thus creating an over
charge which may or may not be de-
tected by the destination agent. "Such
claims as grow cut Of these over
charges are always annoying to the
Shipper" Mr.. Pribble said, land they
often require considerable time for
adjustment by the carrier"
Another cause for overcharges, Mr..
Pribble went on to say, Is the failure
of the shippers to furnish separate
weights, by classification, for each car
load Of articles shipped. Frequently a
number Of articles are delivered to the
railway with one weight for the entire
lot, and, as the limited time for bill
ing the shipment does not permit
weighing each article, the entire con-
signment is billed at the rate applying
on the highest classified article OF
the lot.

Caused Galveston Embargo.


Caused Galveston Embargo.
Galveston, Tex, Oct. 28-The cause
for the embargo recently laid against
wheat shipments to Galveston by the
Santa Fe railway is that ships have not
arrived fast enough to keep the ele-
vators clear. Over 3.000.000 bushels
were shipped in less than a month and
lately hundreds of loaded cars kept the
elevators working night and day. The
freight carrying ships could not keep
up with the shipments and traffic was
accordingly tied up.
Several Of the vessels destined to Gal
weston to take grain have been sunk by
German cruisers and several German
and Austrian ships tied up in various
harbors, together with a demand for
bottoms from all parts Of the world.

roads are likely to take similar action
