use caution or your Christmas de-
c%orations may include crepe" is the
hint in a warning sent broadcast in
South Dakota by M. Harry O'Brien,
state commissioner of insurance. The
following is the text of Mr.. O'Brien's
notice: LAS the holiday season ap-
proaches it is well to be reminded of
the danger that turks in churches and
bazaars decorated with the most In
fammable materials, and illuminated
with hundreds of flaming jets of gas,
candles and additional electric bulbs.
Even with the greatest of caution the
danger is great. A match, a candle
flame, a gas jet or a defect in the extra
electrical wiring may start the blaze
that will change the merriment to
mourning. Those in charge of Christ
mas festivities should be absolutely
certain that decorations will not be-
come ignited. Caution averts catas-
trophies"
This paper "fell for it" recently
when some mule foot hogs were
brought in here, and the claim was set
up that they were immune from chol-
era. But now comes the veterinary
department of the State College and
says the best cholera experts and high
est authorities in all parts of the Uni
ted States are unanimously agreed
that there is no breed of hogs that is
naturally immune to cholera. 1t is
true now and then that an individual
animal within the breed is naturally
immune to cholera. This is no more
than the natural immunity that exists
in certain individuals to any other
contagious disease. Anyone purchas-
ing Mulefoot hogs with the idea that
they are naturally immune, and will
never contract cholera even If exposed
or will lever require vaccination,
should reverse his ideas concerning
this breed. No breed of hogs has eve
been developed that is cholera proof.
