HOW TO CARE FOR PIGS.
Government Sends Out Note of Warm
ing TO Hog Raisers.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 10.-"Pig ty-
phoid," lung plague" "infective pneu-
| monia," and other alleged swine dis
eases are cIassed as snares and delu-
sions in a letter Just issued by the de-
partment of agriculture. which says
that out of every ton sick hogs in the
country at least nine have the common
variety Of cholera.
Farmers are urged to forget all
high sounding diagnoses and go after
his herd with cholera serum and to
separate the sick pcrkers from the well
ones forthwith
1T is true that other infections may
and frequently do complicate out
breaks of hog cholera" said the de-
Dartment, "but in such cases the germ
of hog cholera is the primary cause Of
the disease; and if we can take care of
the germ of hog cholera the pig usually
will overcome the other infections him
self.
From a practical standpoint the inn
portant thing is TO recognize log chol-
era as soon as possible after its ap-
real once in h erd in order that anti
hog cholera serum may be applied be-
fore the disease progresses too far.
Gopd serum may be depended upon to
| lroteet we'll hogs and even to cure a
large percentage of those in the ear
liest stages of the disease but it will |
not be of much avail when used upon |
hogs that are already visibly sick. Re
the hog cholera kills millions |
of hogs where other diseases kill |

Shattuck is Pleased.

"We are more than pleased with the
favorable action by the committee Oh
the amendment to the agricultural bill
appropriating $4,000 for the use OF
the forestry department of the uni
versity," said Professor C. H. Shat
tuck, head of the department, when
shown the Washington dispatch today
chemical experimentation on natural
woods in saving by-products has been
handicapped because of the lack of
funds. Senator Brady and other
members of congress have been great
ly impressed with the work that our
department is doing and it is crafty
congress to perceive of the great ben
efits that may possibly be. obtained
through this work. The appropria-
ton will be a great aid to the de-
partment and it is with pleasure that
we acknowledge our debt of gratitude
to Senator Brady"
A local committee has been work
ing in cooperation with Senator
Brady in urging congress to make
the appropriation, and not alone have
commercial organizations throughout
the Inland Empire been enlisted in the
matter, but the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce has joined with the Mos
COW Chamber of Commerce in urg-
ing the appropriation.

BRADY GETS RESULTS
MONEY FOR SHATTUCk
COMMITTEE REPORTS FAVORABLE ON AMEND-
MENT TO AGRICULTURAL APPROPRIATION BILL.
$4,000 FOR FORESTRY DEPT
Now Assured That the Department Will Get Cow
nent Funds to Aid in Wood By-ProduCt
Experimentation.

WASHINGTON, Apr. 1O.-(SpeciaI.)
United States Senator James III. Brady
last evening secured favorable action
on his amendment to the agricultural
bill apprOpriating $4,000 for expert
mental work to be done by the for
estry department of the University OF
Idaho.
The opinion prevailed here that he
would not be able to get favorable
action by the committee, but this ia
orable report practically assures the
appropriation. This means much
more than for the University of Ida
ho, it means that the entire Northwest
will profit by the action thus taken.

Conditions Are Hard.

The charity worker finds on every
hand conditions which unless removed
or remedied render utterly ineffective
and imperative any attempt to put an
end to the applicants dependency, but
moral suasion, the only weapon avail,
able, is generally useless to bring
about such results. If threats are
made or the courts appealed to, charity
loses its beauty and significance and
becomes hateful to its beneficiary
Herein lies the great advantage of

courts, which possesses both the ability
to acquire knowledge of the facts and
also the power to enforce its direc-

Tightening the Load.

The other method of dealing with
poverty-that of tightening somewhat
the heavy load of the sufferer-for an
hour, a day or a month, as the emer-
gency may demand, is the usual method
of charity Organized or unorganiled
"a method good as far as it goes. and
perhaps necessary in many cases as an
aid to something better, but which of
itself is like lost traveller walking
in circle-or q boy riding a hobby
horse, plenty of motion but no plo2-
ress.
It is useless for charity whether it be
organized or unorganized to claim the
ability to remove the cause of poverty
in the vast majority of cases. To do
this two things are requisite, know
ledge and power. To the knowledge
and what is necessary to be done must
be added the power to compel conf
pliance.

Father of Mothers Pensions" in an
article prepared for the United Press
Judge Neil put through the Mothers
Pension law in Illinois. He is now
working to put similar law on the
New York state statute books He is
bitterly opposed to organized charity,
and with the one idea to have mothers
pension laws enacted in every state
in the Union, declares that such laws
must replace organized charity. Not
every one will agree with Judge Neil's
but so many sociologists and
believe in his ideals
that the following article should prove
deeply interesting to any person con-
nected, however slightly, with move
looking towards aiding those
mothers who are left des-
titute and dependent upon others.

written for the United Press.)
There are two ways of treating pov-
erty-they are as far apart as wisdom
and folly, as right and wrong, as sue
cess and failure. The one is to cure
by removing the cause. The other is
to alleviate by sweetening the results.
The first is the method adopted and
advocated by the National Probation
league-not only for the treatment of
poverty juvenile and adult, but also
in the treatment of crime. 1t is the
great modern idea.
1t was this idea which marked the
difference between French failure and
American success in building the Pan
anna canal. The French sought to cure
by medical treatment the yellow fever
which killed its workmen; the Amer
lean destroyed the mosquito which
produced the disease This is the

of our soldiers won distinction. The
