FEAR CHOLERA EPIDEMIC
ALONG THE BATTLE FRONT
Authorities in European Countries
Foresee Effects of Insanitary
Conditions After Spring Opens.

CorresI-,n,icp'e "t tBc Associated Tre.s
LONDON. January 20.-It is only q
matter Of time. in the opinion of ply
siciars who have visited the battle
front in France and Belgium, when
cholera will make its appearance
among the armies in western Europe,
and perhaps cross the channel into
England. The men fighting in the east,
notably the Austrisns, have suffered
from cholera. more or less epidemic
throughout the campaign. but so far
Is now known there have been no
cases in The west.
Anticipate Insanitary Conditions.
But with the coming of the spring
thaw IN France and Belgium the thou
sands OF dead lying in shallow graves
will render vast field of operations
highly insanitary, nenacing the health
OF those whose powers of resistance
have been broken down or weakened
by the strain of unwholesonle trench
warfare.
Moreover, the Germans have from
time TO time shifted forces from east
to west, and vice versa. In view of this,
IL will be surprising; If cholera does not
follow these shifts. The Germans have
been criticised for burning their dead
but even English physicians are now
inclined TO admit that this, after ali, is
the most humane method. in that a
body once Incin.rstted is no longer a
menace 70 the living.
Guarding Agaist Cholera.
Presumably the French and British
authorities are doing ali in their power

have not inoculated the troops as the
Germans have done in the east. They
have met with enough opposition as IT

MEMBERS ARE REMINDED
OF RULES OF THE HOUSE
Speaker Raps Them for Smoking in
the Hall and Resting Their
Feet on Chairs.

And while the chair is about it, he
will suggest that it is good thing for
members to keep their feet down from
the tops Of the Seats
Thus spake Speaker Clark late yes
terday afternoon. scolding his COL
leagues as schoolmaster chides errant
children. Some of the House members
were violating House rules by smok-
ing in the chamber, despite the rigor-
our censorship on smoking upheld by
the doorkeeper and his minions.
Speaker Clark, himself a strict OBJ
server Of the House rules in every
sense OF the word. rose upon the ros-
trum. gavel in hand, at the close Of a
vote on one OF the bills, and said:
Violation Subject of Complaint.
Before taking up the next bill the
chair desires to make a statement. The
rules OF the House prohibit smoking
inside this hall. Complaint has been
made more than once about the viola
ton of this rule Now there is plenty
OF space outside for gentlemen to
smoke.
"And while the chair is about it, he
Will suggest it ia a good thing for

Members from the west seem to have
taken to the practice Of placing feet

as they would hang them on the rail-

People from all over the world have
seen congressional feet on the tops of

in their travelogue diaries that il is

SWEET POTATOES RAISED WITH
A PROFIT; BOYS PRAISED.

An evidence of splendid results from
scientific farming in the Shreveport com
munity was exhibited at the regular
weekly meeting of the Rotary Club Fri
day, when Rotarian Carstens displayed
two bushels of extra fine sweet potatoes,
the Nancy Hall variety, grown in Bos-
sier City by r. B. Hamilton, young son
of w. E. Hamilton of this city 1t was
explained that two of the Hamilton boys
are engaged in the improved farming and
are making excellent impression on those
watching their activities. Last Saturday
some of the potatoes were on sale at
the municipal market.
Rotarian Carstens reported that the
Hamilton boys have fifteen acres in cul-
tivation, with an average yield of $50
bushels per acre estimated. On the
market they have received $1.4O per
bushel. The cost to produce has been
only $3.50 per acre. Gross receipts total
$21O per acre net $177.5O At this rate
the total receipts will be $3.50, and with
the cost of production. $486 subtracted,
the net profit for the fifteen acres of po-
tatoes will be $2,663.
