neous method" says Doctor Schoenle- Der. This guarantees immunity from cholera for six years. The serum can be obtained from the agricultural college and any veterinarian can do the vaccinating. The cost ranges from 25 to 30 cents for shoats up to $1.25 for heavy hogs.
 The whole problem of preventing disease and having healthy, thrifty hogs is, however, one of sanitation. When the farmers learn that hogs respond to good care as quickly as people, and are almost as susceptible to disease, they will take better care of them and will have far fewer losses.
 At present there is hardly vicin- ity in Kansas where hogs are grown to any extent, that has not some dis ease. The same drastic measures should be taken to free the state of hog cholera that are used with foot and-mouth disease, glanders, or any other fatal stock disease.
 There are scarcely any herds of hogs in this or any other state that are not infected more or less with parasites. There is much danger dur ing the first two months of the fall from the feeding of green corn, since it has a natural tendency to lower the vitality of growing hogs These two facts, coupled with cold weather and confinement, make the contraction of disease easy if germs are brought into the lots.'

FRESH MEAT IS A NECESSITY
No Reason Why Farmers Family Should Be Deprived of Beef and
 Mutton During the Year.

More farmers, it is belived, would find it profitable to raise in addition to hogs enough for bacon, few pigs, calves, lambs and kids for fresh meat during the year. There is no reason why the farmers family should be de- nriyed of fresh meat when animals can be raised for this purpose on the farm. This will require pasture crops and feed, but that is what farms are for. What law is there to require a man to plant nine-tenths of his farm in cotton? At the risk of being called foolish, reduce the cotton acreage suf fcient to allow pasture and feed crops to be planted.

This is the time of year when farm CTS and stockmen should exercise an unusual degree of care in order to avoid disease among their hogs, warns Dr. F. s. Schoenleber, professor of veterinary medicine in the Kansas State Agricultural college.
 What should be done to prevent cholera, swine plague, and other hog diseases? Should the farmer feed one of the many disease preventives adver- ttsed on the market or should he vac cinate the hogs? These are some of the many questions that come in from Kansas farmers. "If the herd shows no sign of infection, do neither" is the advice of Doctor Schoenleber. Clean up,' says he, mot only the lots and pens, but the premises. This should be done under the supervision of veterinarian or some other person who has a knowledge of bacteriology and sanitation. No one else will do the job properly"
 If all the farms were cleaned up in 'iiiS hiiiiiioi 0e'Sh y0e'i' PoihIo ouI Ihio authority, not only spine diseases, but all other stock diseases would eventually be largely eliminated. This fact cannot be too strongly en- phasized, and farmers should be will ing to cooperate in stamping out the cause of a loss of millions of dollars every year.
 When there is any disease in the neighborhood or vicinity, then it is best to vaccinate, using the simulta-

 Again and again the Imperial Ger man government has 2iven this gov ernment it's solemn assurances that at least passenger ships would not be thus dealt with, and yet it has again and again permitted it's undersea com rnanders to disregard those assurances with entire imunity Great liners like 1 the Lusitania and the Arabic and mere 1 ferry boats like the Sussex have been attacked without a moments warning, sometimes before they had even be- come aware that they were in the pres ence of an armed vessel of the enemy

Neutral Vessels Destroyed.

"Vessels of neutral ownership, even
 vessels of neutral ownership bound from neutral port to neutral port, have
 been destroyed along with vessels of
 belligerent ownership in constantly in-
 creasing numbers. Sometimes the
 merchantmen attacked has been
 warned and summoned to surrender
 before being fired upon or torpedoed; i;
 sometimes passengers or crews have
 been vouchsafed the poor security of
 being allowed to take to the ships
 boats before she was sent to the bot tom.
 But again and again no warning has been given, no escape even to the ships boats allowed to those on board. What this government foresaw must happen has happened. Tragedy has followed tragedy on the seas in such fashion, with such attendant circum- stances, as to make it grossly evident that warfare of such a sort, if warfare it be, cannot be carried on without the most palpable violation of the dictates alike of right and humanity What ever the disposition and intention of the imperial German government it has manifestly proved impossible for it to keep such methods of attack upon the commerce of it's enemies within the bounds set by either the reason or the heart of mankind
 Tn February of the present year the Imperial German government informed this government and the other neutral governments of the world that it had reason to believe that the government of Great Britain had armed all mer- chant vessels of British ownership and had given them secret orders to attack any submarine of the enemy they might encounter upon the seas and that the Imperial German government felt justified in the circumstances in treating all armed merchantmen of belligerent ownership as auxiliary yes sels of war, which it would have the right to destroy without warning.
 "The law of nations has long recog- nized the right of merchantmen to carry arms for protection, to use them to repel attack though to use them In such circumstances at their own risk; but the Imperial German government claimed the right to set these under standings aside in circumstances which it deemed extraordinary Even the terms in which it announced it's purpose thus still further to relax the restraints it had previously professed j ts willingness and desire to put upon he operations of it's submarines car jed the plain implication tbo{ at least '7$S @SssiiseabiIEe95 95y}npr?eom M}nfpreom mef of to would

"Not at all! Hermit life may be an | extreme quite as wasteful as the others. Social reform is best begun with ourselves. And you are too much of woman to become a successful feminist"
 Thank you. I never know whether you are paying me compliments or not. Not that I really care. Have you finished preaching yet?"
 My dear, I could go on for hours"
 Then please don't! One would im- agjne that I am one of the giddlest and silliest of butterflies. You know quite well that I always see how empty these things are"
 Then why pursue them so per sistently? If you do it with open eyes, does that make you appear any the wiser? You are not a mere girl now; you are 9 woman
 ''Oh, yes; quite Old-you said so just a little while ago.
 "Old enough, at least, to know what is good for you"
 Do you think we ever know that until it is too late?"
 It is never too late; but certainly it is possible to waste much time in finding out. Perhaps that is what you are doing. And yet, by your own words, you have found cut already, but you have not the will power to break away"
 T think that is one of the hardest things to do," she said graveIy, ito break away from the present path, to leave the old way whose very famiI- io oT-i+ 10Th us. It is like climbing 8 hill-one al- ways wonders what will be revealed when we reach the top. But we never reach fit"
 There are a good many resting places that we can reach, all the same i; and the view from these may be very delightful I believe have found some of them, and I want you to do the same"
 But we never see alike. What charms you might seem dreary to me-
 When I sec you discontented and saying that life is empty I may de- eide that you have not yet found your own true path, even though I may hes itate to advise you to take mine"
 That is a confession, at any rate
 My dear, it is impossible for us to choose for others. But there are cer- tain signs that cannot be mistaken. You do not even pretend to be satisfied with the things that will fill your days and sometimes half your nights. You have no use for them, and yet you use them, and they claim their price from you"
 Well it's that must pay the price, not you"
 There you are wrong. One who cares for you has to pay it as well.''

foreign born residents and especially the aliens who are candidates for citi- zenship.
 Such need has long been recog- nized and a great many cities are ca tering to it by the establishment of night schools and last year there were $50 cities and towns in A states which were cooperating with the gov ernment bureau in this branch of it's educational activity.
 The wisdom of such work is per- fectly apparent. Better citizens are wanted. Compulsory schooling Is re- quired for the children but there are many thousands beyond the school age who need the instruction which they have missed. They need to be taught what our aims and ideals are and the part which they are expected to play in measuring up to the requirements of a good citizen and an extra effort must be made to see that this Is done. It is bound to be as beneficial as con- templated and it certainly should be included among the essentials of the night school curriculum.

CLEAN STREETS.

It doesn't make much difference which one it is, or whether 1t is a large or a small city, they all have their campaigns for cleaning up. Every now and then a crusade is started for the cleaning up of the streets and that is what is underway at the pres ent time in both Boston and PhiIa- delphia.
 In spite of past efforts it appears to be necessary to open a new cam paign periodically for the purpose of accomplishing what everyone reCog- nizes as a necessary bit of work if a city and it's streets are to be kept in presentable shape.
 Responsibility for such backsIiding may be due to several reasons. A rnu- nicipality is supposed to be so or ganized that it has a department for the purpose of taking care of this problem, and there ought to be enough public pride in a community to cause those individuals who seem to con slider that the streets can be made the dumping place for every bit of refuse to bring about @ reformation in their practice.
 The fact of the matter is that while attention is given to such matters for certain brief periods, during which much is really accomplished, IaXity soon prevails. There appears to be no determined effort to force those who arc responsible for untidy streets to break the habit and to stop it not only for a week but for all time. When public sentiment takes up this prob lem and sees that city departments and the citizens themselves do their part there VII be clean streets but not until then

THE SHIPPING SITUATION,

How persistently capital in this country has been responding to the demand for developing the merchant marine up to the point where it can lake care of the transportation busi- ness that is offered between this and foreign countries Is reflected in the top notch prices which are being. maid Tor old ships. For months the shin yards of the country have been work Ing on orders which cannot be filled This year or next and every kind of a vessel which 1t was possible to put into service has been brought into use
 meet the situation.
 GJust what the effect has been is in-
 4catsd by the fact that the bark Tri-
 Diitana which vas wrecked some fears ago and since Seing raised has been used as a towing hulk. has now been sold to Norwegian purchasers for the sum of $1S1. 500. A vessel of 5000 Ions, built in 1905, and valued last year at S112l00O, has recently changed hands for 0 million dollars. Another. RS years old, has brought the attrac- five price of $335.5OO, while a bark which was valued at $15,750 six years ago has, been sold for $200,O00
 All of this shows the problem which Is faced by the shipping board in the use of the $50 100000 appropriated by the shipping bill to make more ships available. How many of these vessels which are now being sold for over ten times their value in normal times would show 75lper cent of their origi- nal efficiency? Yet that is what must be secured when the board buys. With Inc shipyards crowded with business and turning orders away, and the shipmarket commanding fabulous prices how much relief can be expect ed from the shipping boards efforts?

Akaba-'sWhen the British endeav- ored to effect a landing in Arabia at Akabas on the gulf of the same name, as reported in a recent Turkish des- patch, they were trying to secure pos session of a port which figured prom inentIy in Biblical history" according to today's war geography bulletin, issued by the National Geographic So- ciety from it's Washington headquar- ters.
 'Akaba is none other than Eloth of the Old Testament, and E1ion -Geber, only a, few miles away, is the point from which King Solomon sent his navy, manned with sailors loaned by King Hiram (for the Jews were never a skilled maritime people,. The ex- petition was bound for Ophir, from which land APO talents of gold were brought to the builder of the great temple of Jerusalem.
 The Gulf of Akaba- near the head of which the fortified Turkish town is situated. is the long eastern horn of the Red Sea. having Q width of from F to IT miles, and jutting up into Arabia for a distance of 100 miles, with the Sinai Peninsula to the west.

The only good harbor on the gulf is that of Dahab, The Golden Port, situated on the western shore 33 miles from the entrance.
 "A few miles south of the town of Akaba is the island of Jeziret Firaun, on which are to be seen the ruins of 9 castle built in the 18th century by Baldwin I, a member of the House of Flanders and the first king of Jeru- salem who assumed the title after the First Crusade. His reign was short
