HOG CHOLERA is FATAL.

Department Of Agriculture Warns
Farmers on Swine Diseases.
Westinghouse least so per cent of
all deaths of hogs from disease in the
United States are caused by hog chol
era, assert specialists Of the depart
ment of agriculture in statement is.
sued in response to numerous inquir
les from farmers concerning methods
for distinguishing hog cholera from
other swine diseases.
Farmers are urged to remember that
cholera kills millions of hogs where
other diseases kill thousands, and at
tention is called to the fact that
prompt administration of anti-hog
cholera serum is essential to success
From a practical standpoint says
the department. "the important thing
is to recognize hog cholera as soon as
possible after its appearance in herd
that the serum may be applied before
the disease progresses too far. Good
serum may be depended upon to pro-
tect well hogs, and even to cure large
percentage Of those in the earliest
stages of the disease, but it will not
be of much avail when used upon hogs
that are already visibly sick"

APPEAL BY TILLmAN
AB0L|SHES SMOKING
Senate Votes to Forbid To-
bacco at Secret Sessions.

Washington.-There will be no more
smoking behind closed doors when the
senate is in secret session nor in the
secret party caucus room. The fragrant
Havana will be put away voluntarily
by the senators. at least so long as
Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South
Carolina is one of their members. This
was decided by unanimous vote.
"Pitchfork Ben," who is sixty-seven
years old and was given up by his
friends for dead four years ago after
stroke Of paralysis. now finds that
tobacco smoke nauseates him. and be
cannot take part in the secret proceed
lngs because Of the tobacco fumes. He
introduced resolution to abolish smok-
ing in secret session. 1t was abolished
In open session many years ago.
But for the personal appeal of the
aged and infrm senator in whimsical
speech it is not likely that the resolu-
ton would have been adopted All Of
his colleagues are very fond of him.
He read a letter from Senator Root of
New York indorsing his request
The South Carolina senator appear
ed in the new role of health lecturer.
Not only did he discuss the tobacco
habit, but he said most people were
digging their graves with their teeth.
Overeating and other forms Of high
living. he said. were killing his col
leagues.

DESIGNS FOR new
CURRENCY ARE READY
Three Kinds to Be Printed In
der the New Law.

Washington.-Designs for new paper
money, to be issued under the currency
act, have been prepared by experts
of the bureau of engraving and print
ing for submission to John Shelton
Williams. .
This money may not be needed for
months, but Director Ralph will have
the designs ready within few days,
and as soon as Mr.. Williams has Sc
cured the approval of Secretary Nc
Adoo plates will be made and a few
millions will be printed.
There will be three kinds Of new
currency-one for emergency purposes.
succeeding the present but never used
emergency currency; one for federal
reserve banks issued against United
States bonds, with the circulation priv
ilege, and the third one-year gold notes,
to be issued to reserve banks against
United States bonds, but not to have
circulation privilege. >'r>!
These designs contemplate the pres
ent size Of paper money, although the
plan of the Taft administration for
smaller bills may be reflected in fu.
ture issues. .a.E.~:. +. r.. r..
The law authorizes notes of IS, $40,
$40, $50 and $500. Present designs
would have the five dollar note bear
the portrait Of Lincoln. the ten dollar
note that of Cleveland, the twenty dol
lar note that of Jefferson and the fifty
dollar note that Of Grant.
Varied phases of human activity are
depicted on the backs of the notes. AS
provided by law, currency issued to
particular reserve banks will bear
serial numbers as distinguishing marks.

PURE FOOD BOARD IS DEAD.

Secretary Houston AboIishes Body
That Caused Wiley's Troubles.
Washington.-The board of food and
drug inspection in the department of
agriculture, which often was the CEN
ter Of attack by DR.. Harvey W. Wiley,
former chief chemist, has been abolish
ed by Secretary Houston.
At the department of agriculture it
was said the board had been abolished
in the interest of efficiency and econ
omy. DR.. Carl Alsberg, who succeeded
DR.. Wiley as pure food chief, will de-
eide the appeals that formerly went to
the board. He will be assisted by DR..
r. L. Emerson of Boston.
DR.. Wiley holly attacked the pure
food board in unmeasured terms at
various stages of his administration,
declaring its operations hampered ad-
ministration of the spirit of the pure
food law. Under the new plan the en-
forcement of the pure food law will
virtually be intrusted to one man. That
was what DR.. Wiley contended for.

ests, advise the administration upon
conditions and suggest action best cal
culated to keep American commerce
moving with an upward tendency
rather than stagnating or slipping
backward. -.
The first desire, therefore, is for the
appointment of a commercial attache,
whose duty it will be to report con-
stantly upon commercial conditions,
journey to various centers and make
compilations which will be of material
benefit to those engaged or who wish
to engage in operations in this part of
the world.
The consuls at many ports already
contribute valuable aid in this direc-
ton through their commercial reports,
but consul is restricted in his sphere.
The commercial attache would have
more of a rowing commission, and his
information could be first hand. Other
nations have such officials constantly
on the lookout for new avenues.
AS matter Of fact, this proposal is
not new 1t was being investigated
by the previous administration and the
probability is that commercial at
tache would have been at work in
China had there been no change. That
it is desirable one is obvious.
China is the largest market in the
world that is in process of develop
ment. Railway communication is
being pushed ahead vigorously. Within
the past year the government signed
agreements with foreign fnanciers for
the construction of more mileage than
has been allotted in the past thirty.
eight years.
Every other nation is striving ener-
getically to lay foundations for COM
mercial development, while America
the logical supplier, is idle. Americans
in China appreciate this to the full.
and the formation of the North China
association is their answer to the ques-
ton as to what they are doing to try
to make the home land understand that
there is a magnificent market await
ing exploitation. but which will not be
permitted to await much longer. Other
nations are wide awake and are Sc
curing the plums as fast as they can
gather them.

there was ineradicable dignity in his

talking to Alice's grandfather of train
robbers.
Mr.. Jennings knew everything in
the world there was to know about
train robbers. He described them in
glaring detail in the light Of his init
mate knowledge. Alice Warder had
never in her life spent more thrilling
two hours.

was no sooner off the job than things
that upset the peace and dignity of
this staid little town began to happen.

limited. t....-. ..

now and kept the marshal job open
until q special meeting of the council
was called and the president named
man for the place The other mem
bers declined to confirm the appoint
ment and Miss Ingalls, name was sug-
gested. The vote for her was unani-

at some of the eggs that the eggs
were not white enough for the market

that small doses Of peroxide of hydro

Cramer made the experiment and
thought the eggs were growing whittier.
