Officials insisted that If the Eitel

storm ends, she certainly will intern.
Ever since enemy warships establish
ed their blockade off the Virginia
capes mysterious watchers have been
present along the shore between vir-
tween Beach and Cape Henry. 1t has
been supposed that they were watch
ing for the Eitel. Under the condi-
tons that prevail tonight. nothing

and it would be impossible for the

the Eitel actually does go out. 1t is
expected she will turn north between

Beware of Patent Cholera Remedies.

Hog owners should be very care
full about investing in any of the
so-called hog cholera cures and pre-
ventives, especially the ones that
are peddled around in communities
where cholera is prevalent" says
II. P. Hoskins, Assistant Veterin-
anian, University Farm, St. Paul.
s''The very fact that the men who
sell these remedies 60 from farm to-
farm, on some of which cholera may
exist, should be sufficient warming
to the farmer who wishes to keep his
herd from becoming infected. Quite
a number Of these remedies have
been examined or tested by the Ex-
pertinent Stations in this and other
states, and practically all have been
found to be of little value in. either
preventing or curing hog cholera.
The state serum plant will be glad

any of these remedies that have
been examined, but is no in position
