Ar CHDUKE CHARLES
RULER OF AUSTRIA
Death of Franz Jo-
seph Results in Ascen-
sion of the Heir.
(By United Press.

! London, Nov. 22-The eyes of Eu-
rope are now turned upon Archduke
Charles Francis Joseph, the new en-
refor Of Austria. He is democratic
oally inclined and very little was
known Of HIM at the time lArchduke
ferdinand was murdered in 1914,
causing TIE great war.
Il is believed that the passing Of
the aged ruler will mean an increase
il Prussian domination of the Contra.
Powers.
Franz Josef, acknowledge as one Of
the strongest rulers in modern times,
is no more. According 20 custom,
probably the work Of embalminG the
dead emperor's body was begun to-
day. The heart is to be removed and
ilaced IN a separate receptacle, al
though it will later be buried with
the body.
SiXty-eight years ago, when the
last Hapsburg sovereign died, his
heart was put in an urn and pre-
served with 55 other similar urns,
eTch contain the hearts Of members
Of the royal family.
1t was Franz Josef who terminal
ed this ancient custom According
t. the dead emperors own wishes, his
coffin will be a plain wooden one
Of oak and lined with satin. 1t is
to be covered with royal black velvet
ard will finally be placed in a large
n,etallic sarcophagus in an imperial
crypt.
If custom is followed, the body of
Franz Josef will not be buried for a
week, and probably will lie in state
il the Hofburger Austiner church ed
flee, which is 400 years old.
The body Of Franz Josef will be
No. 1873 in the crypt, or, more prop
crly, 1872, one of the 1873 bodies being
hat Of a countess, a companion OF
The great Maria Theresa, for whose
fidelity and love the empress de-
coed the body should rest with hers
ii: interment in the imperial crypt.
The Capuchin Fathers for four cen
trries have been,keepers Of the Haps-
burg dead.
Franz Josef was born August 49,
1880. His death ends a reign longer
than any other in modern history
except that of Louis XIV Of France,
but he ascended the throne when q
mere child of 5 years. In reign
10 thed with blood and shrouded with
tragedy Franz Josef ascended the
throne when he was Is years old anC
held the imperial scertre for 6e
years.

lcsses. This is the season of the
year when the disease spread rapid
ly,
1t stands every rancher and hog
grower in hand to use every possible
precaution to help in keeping his
neighbors' hogs from infection as well
as his own herd.
Your attention is called to a few
suggestions which may be of assist
ance to you in keeping this disease
from your herd.
Keep your animals free from lice
and worms. These parasites weaken
the hogs, making them more liable to
disease.
Some of the following mixture
should be kept in box before the
hogs at all times, or placed in self
fe eder:
/ Charcoal Mixture = Charcoal,
lushel; hardwood ashes, bushel; salt,
8 pounds; air-slacked lime, A pounds;
sulphur, A pounds; pulverized copper
as, , pounds.
Mix the lime, salt and sulphur thor
oughly and then mix with the char
coal and ashes. Dissolve the copperas
IN two parts of hot water and sprin-
IIe over the whole mass, mixing it
thoroughly.
Do not permit anyone to use anti
hog cholera serum on your hogs that
has not been manufactured under
state or United States license. Look
Tor the license and serial numbers
on the label of the serum and virus
bottles. Keep a record of same in
case OF trouble.
Do not allow anyone but a thor
oughly competent veterinarian or ex-
perienced layman to treat your pigs.
Have no faith in so called hog cholera
cures or preventives. There is no
practical cure and no actual preven-
tive discovered other than the anti
hog cholera serum.
Extreme care should be used in
giving the serum and virus inocula-
, ton if. there is no hog cholera in
your community, Some animals are
more susceptible to hog cholera Virus
than others; thus this method, given
by incompetent or irresponsible per-
sons, may cause sickness.
