With the theory of germs in connec-
ton with diseases so well established,
the poultryman hardly need be remind
ed that the only safe way in case of
an outbreak Of cholera among his
fowls is to keep sick fowls by them
selves and to burn up at once or bury
deeply all fowls that die Of the dis
ease. Allowing the dead fowls to lie
here and there is simply an invitation
for the well ones to contract the dis
ease.

MANY WITNESSES HEARD
IN HIGH FOOD COST QUIZ
Local Grand Jury Resumes Investi-

in Prices.

When the local grand Jury which Is
investigating the sudden rises in the
prices of foodstuffs resumed it's ses-
sion this morning. there was another
big group Of witnesses on hand to tell
what they knew of the raise in prices
and the shipments of foodstuffs re-
ceived in the District. There are yet
no signs of an early let-up in the in
vestigation, but there is almost GER
tainty that there will be one or more
indictments on account Of the fixing OF
prices.

jury. was in conference for some time

the raise in prices continues to come
in, and in specific cases additional in
structions are sent out to the district
attorneys who are conducting the in

trait photographers also have undergone
advances in price ranging as high as 500
per cent. The printing trade Is feeling
