Head of Tobacco Firm Asserts That
Cigarettes Are Pure.
New York.-Thomas A. Edison has
been challenged to prove his conten-
ton that the cigarette is harmful and
that it's users are feeble minded. Fur
thermole, Percival S. Hill, president of
a big tobacco company, in an open
letter to the inventor, expresses the
belief that investigation and reconsid-
Grafton would cause him to admit his
error.
Mr.. Hill recalls the time when it
was quite the fashion for cigarettes
to be attacked by "well intentioned ig-
norant people. by notoriety seekers
and by thrifty legistors" The result
was that medical men and other scien-
lists undertook thorough examinations
of the cigarette.
-''-" Every one of these demonstrations, -
writes Mr.. Hill, RESULTED in exactly
the same set of f1ndings-viz, that the
cigarette is absolutely pure; that it
contains less nicotine than any other
form Of tobacco products: that the
combustion of the paper is harmless in
its effect on the human physiology;
that it's temperate use is in no way
Injurious to normal users"

AR|STOCRACY EVEN
AMONG the TRAMPS
Hobo Holds Himself AIO0f From
the ''Bum.'

st. Louis Superintendent George M.
Arendes, after four months experience
as keeper of the municipal lodging
house, declares there is an aristOcracy
among the impecunious leisure class
as we'll defined as that among the re-
mainder of society in the United
States.
"A lodging house in St. Louis is a
necessity and is helpful to the unfor-
tunates who are temporarily unem-
ployed and to the true hobo" said
Arendes to reporter. but there is
vast difference between this class of
men and those who are labeled
'tramps.' buns and 'stiffs' by the ho-

coming open season. The work has
been in progress since 1907 under the
direction of Thomas Riggs. Jr. civil
engineer, representing the United
States Alaskan boundary commission.
and T. D. Craig, representing a similar
commission of Canada
Although the United States and Can

act dividing line between their posses
sions, especially as to the northern por-
ton. was. previous to this survey, in
definite and conflicting. Many disputes
arising. the two governments decided
finally, through their commissions. that
an absolute survey, clearly esta blished
and marked for all time, should be
made along the one hundred and forty
first meridian. from the Mount st.
Elias Alps, on the Pacific. to the Arctic
ocean. a distance Of approximately 600
miles.
The United States surveying party
consisted Of from sixty to eighty men
each season since the work was under
taken. Chief Engineer Riggs, himself
young college man, selected his aids
from the hardest classes-cowboys
forest rangers. prospectors, timber
cruisers and frontiersmen. with lib
eral sprinkling of engineers. New ex-
petitions were organized each spring.
although many of the men who started
at the beginning have remained in the
service up to now. It was the custom,

supplies.

BODY BLOW FOR HIGH COST.
New Discovery May Cure Hog Cholera

New Discovery May Cure Hog Cholera
and Save $100,000,o0o.
Washington.-The high cost of meats
has received a body blow in a re-
port received from Minnesota by the
United States agricultural department
here.
One of the greatest contributing
causes to the high cost Of all meats is
admitted to be the great ravages of
hog cholera. which has swept the coun-
try during the past few years until
last season over $1OO.OOO.OOO in pork
was lost. of which $33.OO0,OO0 was in
Iowa alone. With such a great scar
city of pork there was no balance
wheel to depress values of beef. and
hence the mounting prices of steaks.
Hog cholera has come to be so
dreaded that farmers are beginning to
refuse to raise any hogs, and even
those who stick to the game raise onlv
a few, not caring to take the long
chances. 1t is admitted that with hog
cholera eliminated from the farmers
calculation millions more would be
raised. as they are easy to handle and
the returns are quick. But. strange to
say, science has never found cure for
this dreaded disease.
The report just received by the de-
partment of agriculture contains a
chart showing the treatment of up-
ward Of thousand hogs sick with
chronic cholera with a special veter-
mary treatment. Cures were effected in
1915 per cent. Of the cases. The tests
have been going on in the field in vari-
GUS parts Of Minnesota since last Sep
