STATE AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES
COMBINE TO FIGHT HOG CHOLERA

Under the recently-passed Act Of
Congress which grants 100000 to
combat hog cholera, the U. 8. Depart
ment of Agriculture's agents will CO.
operate closely with the State authori-
ties to prevent and eradicate the dis
ease by the use of antihog-cholera Sc
rum and quarantine methods. Approx
imately $4,000 will be spent during
the coming year in each experimental
area selected. Thirteen of the coun-
ties, where the work is to be carried
on, have been picked out, and in IL
OF these the work has already been
started. Two other counties are to be
selected within short time.
This work has been carried on in
Montgomery county in this state dur
ing the past year. County Agent
Ralph Chitty, with the cooperation OF
the Montgomery County Better Farm
ing Association, and the men from the
Federal Department, has succeeded in
bringing about some very effectual re-
suits in. the eradication of cholera
from the county.
Surveys To Be Made.
Appropriations will be spent in max
ing surveys, using serum on hogs or
infected and exposed farms, in SAM
tation and quarantine work and in or
ganizing farmers to cooperate with the
State and Federal authorities. In addi-
ton, funds will be used for the pro-
duction by the department of antihog-
cholera serum and for the inspection
and proper control of serum prepared
by private and other agencies.
Extensive demonstration and educa.
tional work also will be undertaken
in territory outside of experimental
areas to acquaint farmers with the re-
suits of the experiments and to supply
them with Information as to the meth
DDS of controlling the disease.
All antihog-cholera serum required
is to be produced and supplied by the
Bureau of Animal Industry, provided
that In the event of the inability OF
that Bureau to produce sufficient Sc
rum the several States will supply
the deficiency in so far as possible
without cost to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
|. Cooperation Plan.
The State Agricultural College, or
other State agencies, will place in
qualified man who, with the coopera.
ton of the United States Inspectors,
and County Advisors, will carry out
the necessary educational work, or.
ganization of farmers, and make an
accurate survey of the area.
The Live Stock Sanitary Board, or
other proper State authorities, will
place in each area at least one quail
fed deputy who will enforce, in so fa1
as State laws will permit, such SAM
tary and quarantine measures as may
be deemed necessary by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Name Local Leaders.
The United States Field Inspector
in charge in each experimental area
is to be recognized as the local leader
of the project. This official, by con
| ference with the local State represen
| tatives, will arrange for the details o.

antine and sanitation, and other &C

What Thin Folks Should
Do To Gain Weight.
Physicians Advice for Thin, Unde-
veloped Men and Women.

Physicians Advice for Thin, Unde-
veloped Men and Women.
Thousands of people suffer from ex-
cessive thinness, weak nerves and fee
BILE stomachs who, having tried ad-
vertised flesh-makers, food-fads, phys
ical culture stunts and rub-on creams,
resign themselves to lifelong skinni-
ness and think nothing will make them
fat. Yet their case is not hopeless.
A recently discovered regenerative
force makes fat grow after years of
thinness, and is also unequalled for
repairing the waste of sickness or
faulty digestion and for Strengthening
the nerves. This remarkable discov-
cry is called Sargol. Six strength
giving, fat-producing elements of &C
knowledged merit have been combined
ii. this peerless preparation, which is
endorsed by eminent physicians and
used by prominent people everywhere.
1t is absolutely harmless, inexpensive
and efficient.
A months systematic use of Sar-
gol should produce flesh and strength
by connecting faults of digestion and
by supplying highly concentrated fats
to the blood. Increased nourish. lent
is obtained from the food eaten, and
the additional fats that thin people
need are provided. Leo H. Ffhe and
other leading druggists supply Sar-
gol and say there is large demand
| for 1t.
While this new preparation has
given splendid results as nerve
tonic and vitalizer, 1t should not be
used by nervous people unless they
wish to gain at least ten pounds of
| flesh.

tivities. State officers shall at all
times be furnished with full informa-
ton concerning the general progress
of the work and the United States
Field Inspector in charge shall like
wise be advised concerning the gen.
eral progress of the work and results
of work carried on by the local State
officers.
The salaries and expenses of en-
ployees of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture will be borne en-
tirely by that department, and similar
expenses of State officers will be paid
by state or local agencies.
The department under the appropri.
alton act for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1914, was given power to reg
ulate the preparation, sale, and i'm
| portation of viruses, serum, toxins,
and similar products intended for the
| treatment of domestic animals. The
hog-cholera act provides that not less
than $4,000 of the total may be used
| in this work
| The purpose of the work is to pro-
test farmers from serums that are
either dangerous, under strength, OF
| ineffective.

Rats

Supercous high-brows will smile at the et-
fort now being made in Indiana to rid the state of
rats. But smiles Of disdain have never stopped
the wheels of progress and won't now. Inc rat
question is momentous: at any time it may be-
come a menace. There are some 30O,OOO,OOO OF
them in the country as a whole and about o,ooo-
600 in Indiana
This unnecessary and useless horde OF pests
destroy annually $1OO,OOO,0O0 worth OF grain
They kill millions of chickens. They lnJure,
nobody knows how many dollars worth OF CLOTH
ing harness, and other articles. If the cost OF
their devastations was invested at normal rate
of interest, the income would yield $18 year to
every family in the country.
Worse than all this rats are purveyors of
disease germs, many of them the most deadly
enemies of mankind. Last year Seattle was
frightened stiff for month by a spasm of
bubonic plague carried into the city by rats. AT
present writing, New Orleans is battling with
the same terrible situation. If the plague ever
secures foothod this continent, rats will car
ny it to every nook and Granny of the land 1t
would be far cheaper to destroy the pests now
than to wait until then.
How to do away with them is succinctly told
by an authority on the subject, B. F. W. Thorpe:
"Our rat population will thrive and multiply
just so long as we continue to harbor and feed
them in ramshackle cribs and granaries and fur
nish them haunts under wood-floored buildings,
Junk piles and other secluded hiding places in
which to multiply.
Concrete floors and foundation walls and
supports of the same material or of solid mason
ny, together with metal or wire-screen lined bins
and cribs, will solve the rat problem Keep the
rat in the open, bar his grain-supply, and he will
be down and out"

The Cure for Malfeasance

The city controller of Louisville, Kentucky,
has been discovered an embezzler of public funds
amounting to $14,5OO. He has been in office
since 1901 and was recently elected president of
the National Association of Controllers and Ac-
counting Officers. His thievery was caused by a
desire to recoup himself for losses in lumber

speculation. Being member Of prominent fam
lilies and high in club circles, his case probably
will be hushed up and smoothed over in a year
or two.
This melancholy affair brings home to the
public once again the prevalence of corruption in
city government. That prevalent" is not too
strong word is proved by recent report of the
Bureau of Municipal Research of Harvard Uni
versity which lists story Of graft and political
crookedness covering almost every important
city in the country "A chronology of alleged
public wrongdoing, of charges, counter-charges,
indictments, trials and convictions for malfeas-
ance and corrupt conduct in places of public trust
"a list covering no more than a single twelve
month is at any rate long enough to prove the
enormous problem which still confronts the peo-
pie of this land in their endeavor to make COM
mon honesty rigid principle of public admins
tration."
This malfeasance is made still more menacing
by the public's attitude toward it. In some cases
it crucifies its suspects without trial. AS one
expert says, Grave charges trumpeted
abroad without the slightest preliminary investi-
cation and then later found to be baseess." Of
the same irresponsible character is the opposite
attitude. After the most notorious crimes
against it, the public often subsidies into COM
"A speedy trial, conviction and sentence form a
combination which is not simply exceptional
but practically unknown in this country so far as
official malefactors are concerned
Political corruption is common to all political
parties and to all sections of the country. What,
then, is the cause? Common, ordinary human
sin is the root of it, of course, but the oppor-
tunty for it is furnished by political system.
AS long as men make their living as politicians,
as long the most responsible offices are at the
mercy of political fortune, as long as men are
chosen for place because of their political pres
tige instead of because of their fitness, we will
have malfeasance in office.
The cure for this condition, (insofar as the
public can find cure-it cannot cure the root of
INSCRIPTIONS sefishness in Individually is to
remove all administrative offices from politics
and make public position dependent on fitness
alone and the term of office contermnous with
the officials efficiency. This means the calling
into existence of new profession.
This is already under way. We have even now
come to the point where public administration is
profession and men are going to special schools
to learn it just as physicians go to medical COL
lege. 1t is great and noble profession with a
! magnificent future. If your boy has capacity for
such work, you will do we'll to persuade him to
enter it's ranks. In few other lines would he have
| such opportunities the first in the field will be
the first to climb to the best positions. You
would do him service and you would do the
country service. 1t is the pubc's only cure for
political malfeasance

presence of Mr.. Sunday is desired,
the members of the federation will
ask the members of their congrega-
tons if Mr.. Sunday is wanted and
will report back to the committee at
a meeting to be held on April IA.
It is understood that Mr.. Sunday
will not come to the city unless he
is invited by practically every Pro-
testant Church in that city. He will
not be able to come to Wilmington

Pierce ARROW LIGHTS
Lessen NIGHT DANGER

The demand for headlights on the
front mud guards is growing daily. Not
only does this position give increased ef-
ficiency but drivers who use their cars
at night have discovered another very
great advantage-the elimination of be-
ing side swiped" while passing cars ON
the road.
Lights, with the exception of those on
Pierce Arrows, are placed OH either side
of the hood and on some cars partly in
front of the radiator Passing drivers
Judging the position of the car by the
headlights try and give sufficient room
for that part of the car extending on
either side OF the front lights. So the
Picree-Arrow driver whose lights arc
placed on the mud guards has the ad-
vantage OF wider turnout by the ap-
preaching car, and is thus less liable to
be hit in passing.
When the new lights first appeared
many were of the opinion that their po-
sitiOn would be a constant source of
trouble and expense TO the owner. but
experience has proven that the Pierce
Arrow Motor Car Company has not only
added another decided improvement but
has also increased the factor OF safety
for their owners when using their ears
at night

FORD COMPANY TURNS OUT
ONE THOUSAND CARS A DAY

DETROIT. Mich. March 2S.-The
fact that an automobile factory is
turning out 1000 complete cars per
day, which is the present manufac-
turing program in the Ford factory,
is enough in itself, but grows in bust
ness when contributing facts are
given
Figuring on the basis of an eight
hour day, 100 cars must be completed
each working hour; and as $50 men
are employed on the assembling job,
each man completes four cars per
day.
In completing the 1.000-car daily
quota, these $50 men handle total
of 500 tons OF materials. This
quantity is made up of 1000 tires,
/ 900 gallons of gasoline, 1000 plnts
OF oil, 5000 pounds of grease, 5000
gallons of water in the cars radia-
tors, 1000 springs, 5000 lamps, 49,
600 wheel spokes and no less than
100000 cOtter pins.
