OTHER TEAMS IN MIDDLE
TENNESSEE.

The girls athletic association OF the
Columbia High school is making rapid
progress in the practice of basketball.
Miss Margaret Atwood, who is coach
ing the several teams, is well up on
the game, and what 1t takes to put

happens to have it."
The girls have access to the gym
nasium two days out of every week
and on these days the whole afternoon
is given over to practice.
There are about sixty girls in the
association and out of this number,
several teams are composed, which
enables the first team to get all the
practice needed to put 1t in the first
rank of the girl teams throughout the

Within short while the team will
be ready to issue challenges to all

SERUM To B. READY
TENTH NEXT MONTH
WILL BE ISSUED BY STATE, HOW.
EVER, ONLY TO THOSE HAV-
ING PERMITS.
FOLLOWING An EXAMINATION
Which Viii Be Held At The Capitol
In Nashville on Jan. 20; Efforts for
ne better Administration of the
Serum.

The state will be ready again to be-
gin the distribution of anti-hog chol-
era serum and cholera virus on Feb. 10
from the state serum plant. No one
can obtain the serum except one who
holds a recently issued virus permit
The following cirlular just issued b.
the state veterinarian, is self-explana
tory:
For sometime the State Depart.
ment of Agriculture has been working
out plan of reorganizaing the work
on Hog Cholera Control in Tennessee
and is now making public some of the
things which have been decided upon
as applicable to present conditions.
Like in other states, hog cholera
has ben a menace to the swine indus
try Of Tennessee for many years and
1t is evident that if it is to continue
to occupy growing and profitable
position against our agricultural ac-
tivities a successful method of coping
with this highly contagious and fatal
disease must be put into operation.
With this in view the Department is
bending it's every effort to help the
hnp ~ IGOR of fha ofoto
The fundamentals which will be
impressed are the use of reliable
serum and virus, sanitation and prop
er administration, all of which are
highly essential If we wish to make
any progress in controlling hog chol
era.
The state will be ready to begin
the distribution of anti-hog cholera
serum and hog cholera virus on Feb
ruary 9th, 1916, from the State Serum
Plant, located at Number 1902 Clinton
Street, Nashville. Hog cholera virus
can not be obtained except by those
who hold a. recently issued virus per
NIT.
In order that the administration Of
serum and virus may be placed on a
more efficient basis, all virus permits
which are now in existence will be
recalled and cancelled on February
10th, 1915. However. those wishing
to hold virus permit under the new
plan must demonstrate their Qualifi-
cations by standing an examination.
These examinations viii be held in
the three grand divisions Of the state
an January 29th. 1916. The one for
West Tennessee viii be held at Jack
son In the County Court House; for
Middle Tennessee, at Nashville. in the
Capitol building: and for East Ten.

that the six hogs treated constituted
the entire herd, all those not treated
having died.
AS the foregoing comparison is a
fair example of the results so far
