an application was received for a
chicken slaughter house at 81 Six

cusslon the application was rejected
by a vote of FIVE to two.
Dr. Armin Fischer, of AZ Sixteenth
avenue, made lively attack on Com
missioner Mclean for favoring the
license. declaring that he must have
some interest in the matter and re-
ferred to the fact that he was an old
labor leader. He said that chicken
slaughter houses were breeding places
for different diseases. such as scarlet
fever, diphtheria and typhoid fever.
The Hill section, he said, was now
overpopulated and thought the pro-

He declared that the statement that
the granting of such licenses helped

the chicken slaughter-houses on
Prince street were not sanitary. No

IF the chickens are unfit to eat

FOR HOG CHOLERA

q. w. Davenport OF Oskaloosa Is
the latest to discover cure for hos
cholera. Mr. Davenport. who is a Mar
haska county farmer and stock breed.
er, was Des Moines visitor yester-
day. attending hearing before the
supreme court.
Il have new cure for hog choS
era" said Mr.. Davenport, which acts'
on the theory Of preventing the dis.
ease by preventing the animals from
coming into contact with the germs
which cause the disease.
I'm my opinion the swine plague is
much more vital question before
the Iowa taxpayers today than CAPT
toll extension. This terrible dis ease
took over 100000 hogs out O. the
state last year, and the profits on
them would buy the ground for the
proposed capitol extension, make the
improvements that the executive
council plans and leave a good sum
for future improvements.
Il have been devoting great deal
OF time and study to the hog cholera
problem. and have long since come
to the conclusion that the method OF
prevention employed by the state ex.
pertinent station at Ames is nothing
more nor less than placing a crown
OF thorns on the brow Of the poor
swine. My method Of preventing the
disease is the logical one of prevent
ing the animals from coming in con-
tact with the germs causing the dis:
ease. ] ann going to Ames in a short
time and lay my plans before the
heads of the state agricultural college
and the people of ths state will soon
