 Ames. Ia.-Hog cholera in Iowa cost the farmers sS3,0OO,00O in 1913. Nearly 3,O00OO0 hogs died of the disease and experts say this is nearly S5 per cent of the total number. The loss to Iowa farmers was two and half times as great as during 1912 despite the efforts of the state and federal government to stamp out the dis ease.
 These estimates are based on reports from u20 men, covering every community in every county in the state, as compiled by Director W. J. Kennedy of the State Agricultural college~ extension depart ment.

Stange, director of the State Serum Laboratory, gathered statistics which show that when healthy hogs were treated the loss after treatment was less than Is per cent When sick hogs were treated the loss was between IS and IT per cent.

In the Grand Military steeplechase, which has just been run at Sandown park, the aggregate wealth of the aristocratic par ticipants could not be estimated at less than s50,OOO,00O, yet all Of them rIsked their necls with the greatest of daring.
 One of the most Interesting of the riders was H. A. Wernher, a son of the late Julius Wernher the South African dia- mond king. Wernher was a younger son and succeeded to more than about sS,O00,- 000, his older brother being practically dis inherited. The other riders included Per ey Wyndham, son of the late George Wyndham and R. Wyndham-Qu heir to the Earl of Dunraven, who once tried to recover the America cup. But perhaps the most interesting figure In the race was the winner, Capt. D. McCalmont,

He attended the reading of the will ex- pecting about 5000 and was almost bowled over when informed that he could write his check for s150O0,000. He immediately went in for horse racing and became one of the most popular owners on the turf and great friend of the late King Ed ward. He was also one of the most suc- oessful of race course celebrities, being the owner of the famous 'Isinglass.' ? which won more money than any other horse in the history of racing.
 The present holder of the McCalmont millions is also an enthusiastic racing proprietor and the owner of "rhe let rarch," a phenomenal horse which es- tablished splendid record last year and may yet duplicate the unique feats of "Isinglass.''

 The simplicity and ease of the proper method of beautifying the skin are really astonishing. There are no hal1 dozen things, steaming and rubbing and the wearing of masks, and what not to be done.
