medical schools in this city. In former
years Philadelphia was the only great
medical centre in the United states, hut

and Baltimore, have been advancing in
this respect recently. Philadelphia prob

why, with the aid Of the department, her
proud position can be maintained"

Doctor Krusen does not believe that the
State will take over the insane of cities

that the records of private institutions
show a remarkable percentage of cures.
Such asylums are rarely overcrowded.

It Is impossible to give every patient the
individual care necessary to bring about

The new director also Is in favor of a
continuance of the food and milk in

Jefferson city, Mo.--A cat that

soon dissipated when day after day
the performance was repeated. -
Then It was observed that the cat
attached itself to q brood Of late ''fry-
ers." now about half grown. 1t watches
over this bunch Of chickens with an.
parent motherly solicitude. follows
them about all day and never lea4es
them until they go to roost for the

Lusitania Unarnned

New York, May 9.-Dudley Field
Malone, Collector Of the Port, denied
this morning the German statements
that the Lusitania had guns mounted
when she sailed from this port.
This report is not correct" said
Mr.. Malone. ''The Lusitania was in
spected, as is customary.
mo guns were found, mounted or
unmounted, and the vessel sailed with
out any armament. No merchant ship
would be allowed to arm in this port
and leave the harbor."
The Cunard officesagain made plain
today that the Lusitania carried no
guns nor was armed. The reportthat
she had 6-inch guns mounted fore
and aft was the universal statement
OF Berlin newspapers today.
There is absolutely no truth in this
report" said Hermann Winter, head
Of the passenger department.
'The Lusitania was not armed on
her last trip and has never carried
guns with which to defend herself. +"

After Successful Campaign
Here

M. /. Hurley, Field Demonstration
in Hog Cholera Control from the
State University, who for several
months has been in charge of the
anti-hog cholera campaign in Bates
county has completed his work here
and was recalled last week to the
University.
Mr.. Hurley, although young man,
is thoroughly posted. upon matters
pertaining to the foundation Of
cholera and his services have saved
the farmers of this county many hun
dred dollars. At the time he took
charge, hog cholera was prevalent
over nearly the entire county. To-.
day there are few cases in the county.
Since the campaign started there
have been twenty six anti-hog cholera
clubs organized in the county with a
membership of eight hundred and ten.
During the work he vaccinated twen-
ty.nine hundred hogs on one hundred
and four farms and satisfaction was
particularly emphasized where vacci-
nation was done. There have been
several car loads of lime used in the
county for disinfecting purposes.
Arrangements were made with some
firm in nearly every trading point to !
handle reliable remedies to rid hogs
If parasites.
Had this campaign been put on
rear ago and Bates county organized
IS it is today, the loss from cholera
would have been very small as. COM
jared to what it was.
