Advisability of vaccinating hogs
against cholera. Since there
are so many factors which in

understand why the results are
not more favorable than they are

First we must realize that vac

and not a cure Hog cholera be.

from the blood of a hog which
has been made doubly immune

anti hog cholera serum, then it
is injected with small quantities

Control over passenger rates in the
state IS not claimed by the interstate
commerce commission. these being fix
ed by the Legislature. The railroads
OF Illinois claim that enforcement of
the 2-cent fare law has caused them
a loss on their passenger business and
necessitates the charging OF higher
fright rates to compensate them. Be
fore taking the fight into the legisla-
ture they are making an appeal direct
TO the public-something absolutely
unique in the affairs OF railways in
this state.
What sort OF 4 reception the in
creased fare propaganda will receive
in this locality is problematical. In
some other places the railroad men
have secured the passage of resolu-
tons committing those TO whom they
have spoken TO the increase they ask
for and in other places they have fail
ed TO make much of an impression
