aaaaRATaN AGAINST CHoHERA'
Counties WIN No Cleaned, Of Disease
81 One at limo 4

Topeka, Oct. ,2.-Joe Mercer.
state sanitary livestock commission
or, yesterday drew up rules and
regulations to cover the movement
of hogs In Kansas from one county
to another. These rules will be plac-
ed in effect one county at time,
as fast as the hog cholera eradica-
ton campaign is put on In each
county. After that 1t will be prac-
tieally impossible to import cholera
into any county in the state. The
r. les are In effect in Marshall coun-
ty. Next week they will be put into
effect in Cowley county, and before
December in Saline county.
"In a few years, IL this plan is
followed out and everyone works
with u.s." said Mercer. "hog cholera
will be as scarce as scabies among
cattle, which was so common q few
years ago."
The rules follow:
No hogs can be shipped or moved
In any manner into this county, for
any purpose, other than immediate
slaughter, unless accompanied by a
certificate of health issued by the
livestock sanitary commissioner,
his authorized inspectors or appoint
ed veterinarians.
When it is found any hogs have
been brought into this county in
violation of Rule II 1t shall be the
duty of the inspector in charge to
place such hogs in quarantine for
q period of not less than fifteen
days, after they shall have been i'm
munized against hog cholera, at the
owners expense.
All railroad cars and conveyances
carrying hogs into this county. for
any purpose other than for imme-
date slaughter, shall be cleaned and
disinfected before loading, and the
hogs loaded through clean and dis
infected loading pens and chutes OF
directly from wagons, and must be
unloaded in the same manner at
destination.
All premises in this county where
hog cholera has been known to Iex'
list during the past year., or where
cholera may be found to exist al
present, shall be cleaned and dis
infected under direction of the live
stock sanitary commissioner, or hi'
appointees.
If it is found impossible to dis
infect any farm yards, the owneI
or agent shall be required to con
struct new yards and pens in which
. hogs shall be kept.
, All certificates Of health issue'
, in compliance with these rules shat
be made in triplicate, one copy sne
: to the livestock sanitary commits
stoner at Topeka, one to owner ant
one to accompany the hogs to des
t:nation.

SALIVA HAS A PLAN TO
SEND THE SMOKY SOUTH?

salina Union: The Smoky Hill
river has been very well behaved
this summer, but there is no way
TO tell when 1t will forsake its own
he'd and go wandering around over
the landscape in a dissolute ire
suousible fashion. While the people
are studying flood prevention how
would 1t do to cut a canal from the
Smoky in the neighbOrhoOd OF Linds-
borg across the country to intersect
the Arkansas at Wichita The chan
mel of the Arkansas can take care
of a good bit more water than is
allowed to get as far down as Wien
tia without any danger to nearby
lands or to railway grades ana
bridges. The canal intake from the
Smoky could be closed with flood
gates SO that the regular flow OF
water to the Kaw would be inter-
rupted only at such times as there
might be danger Of OVERLOOKING the
1owlands farther down the valley.
Such a canal would not be very ex-
pensive and might save the whole
flood situation in the Kaw valley

DAVIDSON WRITES 3.
OF RETURN VOYAGE To AFRlcA

A letter to- Mrs. NJ. L. Hoffman,
from her sister. II. Frances DAVID
son. tells Of her safe arrival at
sydney, Australia. on her return
VOYAGE TO Africa, after visiting rel
atiyes here on a furlough from her
missionary work among the Afri-
can natives.
The letter was written August 20
and she had landed the day pre-
vious. Difficulty was experienced IN
getting passage to Africa on steam
ers from Australia, but 1t happened
that two women cancelled their
passage on an African bound boat
and Miss Davidson was able to sail
from Sydney on August 2S. Other
wise she would have been compell-
ed to wait in Sydney until Deem
Der, as the passages on the few
steamers sailing were taken up to
that time.
She also writes that a ticket on
a steamer bound for England Is
very hard to secure as there are so
few ships carrying passengers, the
rest of them being used for war
purposes. Her trips to Africa be-
fore have been made by way oil
England but because of the war
zones she was compelled to sail q
round about way to Africa.

Lazy Farmers,
Don't Read This

The United States Department
of Agriculture and the experts
all over the country are urging
the farmers of America to cult
vate every available acre during
the coming year The war in
Europe assures the sale of al
most everything that can be
raised. Every article that is ex-
ported to feed the soldiers and
the citizens and the stock of
Europe means just that much
less for home consumption; there
fore, even with big. crops of
everything, the prices will be
high. If it is not a good crop
year the farmer will at least
raise enough for home use and
will not have to pay the high
prices that will prevail. Utilize
every available acre for grain,
grasses and vegetables. / n
many sections farmers are urged
to try a double acreage of pota-
toes. 1t should not be necessary
under proper conditions, to i'm
port potatoes into any agricult-
ural county. Put the hens and
and the turkey to work and give
them a square deal. Raise pigs,
cattle and horses in as large
numbers as the accommodations
of the farm will justify and any
losses that any farmer, planter
or rancher may have sustained
last year will be more than made
good. The war in Europe may
last for months or years, but
while it continues there will be
an active demand for everything
we produce. Should the war
end this week the nations en-
gagged will need all our surplus
products for a year at least.
Take our advice for once and do
not permit good, tillable land to
lie idle in 1915.

REVEALS SHIFTING OF STARS
"Stereocomparator;" of Immense Aid
to Astronomers, Is Invention
Of German.

In the ordinary stereoscope two
photographs of a landscape, or; a
group of persons, taken from slight
ly different points of view, are COM
bined in such a manner that nearer
objects appear to stand out from
those at a greater distance.
A similar effect of perspective is
produced by the combination of as
Economical photographs in the Ger
man "stereocomparator." With two
photographs of the same region of
the sky, made some weeks or some
months apart, are viewed in this in
strument, any star that has shifted
its position by reason of its parallax
or its proper motion will appear to
stand a little in front of or little
behind the plane in which the other
stars lie.
When Jupiter is included in the
field the planet looks much nearer
than the fixed stars, and some of its
moons appear in front of it and
some behind.

Award Given for Best
Fire Record in Forests

The Tusayan National Forest,
situated in northern Arizona,
with headquarters at Williams,
has won the award of merit CIV
by the District Forester to the
Forest in District 3, which COM
prises Arizona and New Mexico,
making the best record in the
discovery and suppression o f
fires during the past season.
The fact that each of the 16.
Forests in the Third District sur
passed all previous records will
indicate the effort made by the
Tusayan to secure the award. =
Many factors had to be coinnsid--
cred by the Forest officials who
awarded the prize: the percent
age of fires discovered and ex-
tinguished in their incipiency, as
compared to those that had gain
ed headway and burned over one
quarter of ten acres, (forest fires
are classified according to the
acreage by Forest officers); aver
age acreage per fire; time elapsed
between discovery and report;
time devoted to travel and sup
preston; and general weather
conditions prevailing throughout
the fire season.
The Tusayan, with an acreage
of 1,80Q 900 acres, had. a total of
63 fires that burned in their en-
-tirety $3.50 acres, or an average
of about four tenths of an acre
per fire. The percentage O f
those extinguished before they
covered more than a quarter of
an acre was about 90 per cent or
55 in number.

THINKS OLD SYSTEM BETTER
writer IN the Atlantic Makes compar-
ison OF Educational Methods.
Past and Present.

The really old-fashioned educa-
tional system upon which ours is
founded had a vigorous common
sense about it. School ended for the
boy at fourteen or fifteen, the free
dom of college began at once, and
the boy must stand on his own feet.
An intellectual standard of a COM
paratively uniform type was de-
manded OF college graduates. Rough
ly speaking, there was, outside of
mathematics and the limited num-
Der of sciences then studied, only
one system of thought of any impor-
tance to be learned, and this in
volved real knowledgeof Latin and
English literature. To be without
this was to be, in sense, unfit. The
college provided the simple and di-
rect means of mastering this system
and young men set themselves to the
task of acquiring it. The pressure
of real life therefore was felt
throughout the system, and the spirit
OF earnestness permeated education.
In other words, the use of ones stud
les was not lost sight of as nova
Utopian, in the Atlantic.

BY producing an abundance of fruits
and vegeta bles in summer, nature has
sought a way to take care of the
cooling of the body. Most of us live
on about half OF what we eat and the
remainder must be gotten rid of.
Hence the prevalence of so much
sickness.
Meat is not an absolute necessity
at every meal. 1t should be partaken
of moderately in the warm weather as
it is productive of an excess Of uric
acid. Composed. of nearly rs percent
water it does not loom up very impor-
tant. When one remembers that near
ly five-sixths or the world live on plan
tains or rice land are healthy and do
without doctors and drugs) it does not
speak strongly in favor Of an eXclu-
sive meat diet. Too sudden an alb
stinence from meat diet and too
much of a vegetable diet, is apt to
bring on severe attacks of indigestion.
Eat only when you are hungry-don' t
force yourself and don't eat to rep1e-
ton. Drowsiness and stupor are sure
signs of excess.
Cooking. is 80 percent of the sue
cess of a meal. How few know the
art! Frying is to be abhored. Boil
ing, baking and broiling are best.
Food should be properly favored and
made attractive to the palate Every
woman should make it her duty to see
that her family secures harmless, pure
and wholesome food. The new pro.
fession for women which Is so sadly
neglected in this hurry burly day, is
hygienic cooking.
