agent. You anticipate the POSSIBLE
lty of such a loss and protect YOUR
self with an insurance policy.
Several years ago the annual hog
cholera loss was me to stagger the
human mind. The loss mounted
way up into the millions of dollars
annually. Scientists began to de-
vote their time to study and they |
discovered that hog cholera was a
scourge similar to typhoid fever in
the human body, and that it was
caused by the existence of a germ
in the blood of the hog. The germ
was shown to be easily transferred
from one point to another. subject
ing every head in the neighborhood
for miles around to the disease.
While scientists succeeded in discover
ing the nature of the cholera germ,
rail- they know is that it is a living
organism capable of growing and
reproducing within the system of a
diseased hog. They discovered that
this organism could not be killed by
ordinary a~ntiseptics, that it lived
for many months in refuse around
the ward, in fact, they learned that
it was a most elusive germ to fight.
5 After many experiments it was
s found that the only way to beat this
s germ was to render the hog immune
s from its attack by the process of
s vaccination as human beings have
: been rendered immune from the at
; tack of smallpox. and as they are
; now being rendered immune from
; typhoid by vaccination.
: Thus developed the hog cholera
( serum.
! Hog cholera virus is blood from
: diseased hogs containing the active
) virulent hog cholera germs. The
injection of just the serum is a pre-
I ventitive measure which renders the
hog immune for about a month OF
SIX weeks. The proper injection o.
virus and serum at the same time, il
known as the double treatment anC
renders him immune throughout hi
life.
The only way to insure against TIT
attack of hog cholera is the use o
good serum and virus, and tina
serum is not a cure for sick hogs
but a preventive which should b.
given to hogs before they are expos
ed to the disease. The time to vac
cinate hogs is before they are sick
Ii this cannot be done, vaccinate a
early as possible after they SHOW
signs of sickness. The earlier the,
are vaccinated the smaller the los
will be. Serum Is The Best Insur
ance.

RIGGS Bank Mails Letter
to Financial Institutions
Asking for Moral Support

The letter which was sent out by the
Riggs National Bank to other banking
and financial institutions of the coun-
try, informing them of its suit against
Treasury officials and asking for their
moral support. was as follows:
"The inclosed statement carries an
abbreviated account. incomplete but
sufficient to convey some iaea Of the
high-handed conduct of the controller
of the currency toward the Riggs Ma
tional Bank during the past year.
'"This bank has had an honorable
career in the Capital city of the coun-
try, extending rs private banking firm
and as a national bank over period OF
seventy-nine years. 1t has always been
a conservative, carefully managed In
stitution. and no bank in the country Is
in better condition today. If the con-
troller had been able to base any sum-
mary action upon it's condition he
would have lost no time in doing so.
This bank has been constantly har-
assed by his demands during the past
year. 1t has been subjected to great
expense for additional clerk hire and
for attorneys fees. its own clerical
force has been worked much of the
time from 6 am. to midnight, and the
time and energies of its officers have
been diverted from the conduct OF its
regular business in a vain attempt to
Withdrawal Of Funds.
The controller Of the currency and
Secretary of the Treasury have been
instrumental during the past year In
having about $1.200,00O of government
and quasi government deposits with
drawn from this bank. Two-thirds OF
this was withdrawn during the period
of financial disturbance occasioned by
the outbreak of the European war,
when the stock exchanges were closed
and it was practically impossible for
the bank to realize upon the bonds
which it had provided as security for
these deposits. The bank, however,
made the payments and continued.
throughout the time. and has continued
ever since to carry cash reserves large
ly in excess of the amounts required
by law.
notwithstanding the withdrawal of
public deposits and the fact, currently
known. that the administration of the
Treasury Department was hostile to
this bank, a fac: which might be ex-
pected to have considerable influence
in this city and locality, the other de-
posits of the bank have increased and
are larger now than they were when
the controller instituted hts attacks.
This bank is maintaining that the
