TIoNs IN PENNSYLVANIA.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The first
report of its study of infant mortali-
ty was made public last night by the
Federal Children's Bureau. It is bas-
ed on conditions found by the bu-
reaus Investigators in Johnstown, Pa.
While it carefully avoids conclu-
sions, the report points out that in
the poorest sections Of Johnstown
the death rate was Ell per thousand
babies, or more than five times that
in the best residential sections of the
city Babies whose fathers earned
$40 week or less, the report says,
died at the rate of 256 per thousand,
while those whose fathers earned $25
or more week died at the rate OF
eighty-four per thousand. Artificial
ly fed babies, died at a much more
rapid rate than breast fed babies.
only 1855 babies per thousand died un-
der one year of age when breast fed
for at least three months, as against
1858 per thousand who died when
fed artificial foods.

JUDGE COLD, so
ISSUES A WRIT
POSTMASTER CITED FOR CON-
TEMPT BECAUSE He DOES
NOT KEEP BUILDING

FORT SMITH, Ark, Feb. 3.-Post-
master w. J. johnson was cited be-
fore Federal Judge Frank Youmans
here today on a cahrge of contempt
of court because the Judge held the
federal building too cold for comfort.
The postmaster. who is ex oficio
custodian of the building, declared
the fireman was absent on leave and
the civil rules make no provision for
engaging a substitute fireman. He
agreed, however, to hire a fireman
out of his own pocket, and escaped
punishment on the contempt charge.
Judge Youmans ordered a trans
cript of the testimony sent to Wash

court unless the building is properly
heated.

.TURKt BUzzARDS
CAUSE OF MUCH OF
THE HOG CHOLERA
CARRY AWFUL DISEASE IN
FLIGHT FROM ONE FARM
TO ANOTHER.
INSTANCES or 1T ARE CITED
One Farmer, TWO Miles From Town,
Let 6uzzards Eat One or Two Dead
sheep-choIera Was Given to Hogs
BY It and Now on Several Farms.
(Dr. J. P. o'connor.)

On investigation Of the sources of
infection of hog cholera, covering
large areas, it has been found that
from one-fourth to one-third of the
outbreaks Of this disease has been
due to the obscene habits of carrion.
eating birds.
The turkey buzzard is the most
common of these disease-spreading
birds. They are the quickest Of all
birds to congregate over a carcass.
The territory covered by them in
their migrations from north to south
annually is usually subject to out
breaks of cholera. This is partic-
ularly marked in the dissemination
Of cholera
These birds eating the carcasses of
hogs, which have died of cholera,
then travel long distances, carrying
the infection many miles to distant
farms. No farm is safe in the course
of their fight, for they are attracted
by the odor of dead carcasses.
Years ago it was customary in
many states to depend solely on the
buzzard for scavenger purposes in
taking care Of garbage and refuse.
Laws were, enacted making it a Grim.
inal offense to harm or destroy them,
Tennessee being one Of the first
statesrin the union to repeal this law,
and it remains for her to be the first
to offer a bounty for the death of
them. The enormous toll paid in
sickness and death of humans as well
as live stock condemns this filthy
bird as the only true black plague.
To the Missourians resident in this
county, and all others who demand to
be shown, we can cite an instance
that occurred in Maury county and
the end Is not yet. A short while
back some dogs got into a flock of
sheep within two miles of town and
killed one or more Of the sheep, at
least one or more Of which was al.
lowed to be eaten by the buzZards. A
short time after this, the hogs on this
farm were offered with other things
for sale, being purchased by different
ones throughout the county One of
the hogs, fine, pure bred SOW. died
today of cholera on a place hitherto
free of cholera The hogs on anoth-
er place to which some of these hogs
were brought are now being treated
for cholera. The members Of the
government force here are expecting
to be busy for several days looking
up and treating the remainder Of the
hogs sold from this farm. The man
who lost the sheep can say that he
lost no hogs, but how about the man
who bought the cholera hogs? What
is to be said of him
This is but one instance to show
the awful damage that buzzards may
do on a farm. Take your gun and
shoot them whenever you see one.
