Would Sell Siberia
to United States

San Francisco, Dec. 13.-Sale of 81
IBERIA to the United States is being
strongly urged by the newspapers and
citizens of that country, according to
G. A. Hoffart, mining engineer who re-
turned from the Orient today. So SER
iously do many citizens regard the pro-
posal that they are holding mass meet
ings in various parts of Siberia to dis
cuss it. A petition has been signed by
thousands formally requesting the Pet
rograd government, as the first step in
such plan, to turn over to the Ameri-
cans control of all mineral and timber
resources.
Several Siberian newspapers even
printed statements that negotiations
for the sale are already in progress, al
though few believed such reports.
Erarm OulashiR, Russian refugee from
Vladivostok declared there is no such
thing as busines at Vladivostok since
the Bolsheviki took control.

innoeulation for whooping cough and for

on the ordinary cold innoculation model
tht apply respectively to cold in the
head and nose, cold in the chest or in
the throat. A dose of all three will un.
doubtedly make you cold proof for the
rest of the season if you don t mind a
little puneture now and then and here
and there.
They even have a system of innoculat
ing against hay fever nowadays that is
not to be sneezed at. 1t is true that you
have to be experimental on month or
two before your annual attack so that
the particular pollen that causes your

HOG INCREASE rs NECESSARY
FOR ARMY MEAT SUPPLY.
sows Must Be Bred at This Time in
Large Numbers to Insure an Ade-
quate Meat Supply.

Washington, Dec. 15-To win the war
we need more meat. To get an increased
meat supply quickly hog breeding must
be increased materially throughout the
country, and in certain states an in
crease of from 25 to so per cent in the
number of hogs is recommended by the
United States department of Agricul-
ture.
The situation is Of great Importance
We must have plenty of meat for our
armies and the armies of the allies in
the field, and sufficient meat for our
civilian population and the civilian pop.
ulation of the allies at home.
To have this meat, breeding animals
must reproduce themselves so the off
spring will be available for slaughter
in the future.
Hogs can be increased quicker than
any other live stock.
Therefore a larger number of sows
must be bred NOW, than in recent
years,
In addition to the fact that there is
an imperative demand for more meat
as war measure, it should be taken
into consideration that we now have an
abundance of feed erops-corn, oats,
and barley-with which to produce this
necessary increase in the number of
hogs. The demand for meat is certain
and it will be profitable to the farmer
TO market some of this heavy grain sup
ply ON the hoOf.
Pork can be transported more readily
and economically to troops in the field
than can any other meat. Great sup.
plies of bacon must go the boys in khaki
at the front. Unless NOW q larger num-
.ber Of sows are bred the amount of meat
we viii require next year will not be
available.
The estimated number of hogs is 4,
100000 less than it was year age in
this country; and in the face of this
we NEED more hogs than ever before.
How can we get theml BY breeding
sows at once.
The expectation of pork products has
increased since the war began and viii
continue to increase during the length
of the war. The foreign countries are
devoting their farming energies to food
and feed rather than live stock produc-
tion, but they must have meat and they
must get large part of this supply
from us.
During the last three months the price
Of hogs has been. on an av
erage, more than twice as much
as the average price for the
five years from 1911 to 1915. In view
of the large crop Of feedstuffs in sight,
however, it is believed that farmers viii
see the wisdom Of taking every precau-
ton to increase the supply Of hogs and
hog products.

Matilda has the whooping cough
And John the chicken pox
This is the season Of the year
That g very fine for Does.
New York, Dec. 15.-No matter if
you are in favor Of the Gary school
system or the common ordinary kind
there are three things you may be sure
your kiddies are taking at school this
year along with the three "R's'' and
they re whooping cough, chicken pox
and measles.
1t is only when they have graduated
and taken masters degree ip all
three that you can draw sigh of re-
lief and go ahead aud invite Cousin
Elizabeth and her children to spend
Merry Xmas in your midst without
the horrible possibility of little Euniee
whooping it up at the last minute or
Ralph Thomas breaking out with ~
measly rash and breaking up the party.
When / was child long, long ago
in Kansas / had measles and chicken
pox quite free to break out when and
where l chose with no interference
from the health department no quaran-
tine, no fumigation or vaccination to
cause vexation.
When my heir apparent had measles
about five years ago in New York Gity
we were quarantined for two weeks
with bold black typed placard ON the
door that did much to offset the vel
come on the mat. He was kept in
dark room aud when il was all over
we were fumigated so thoroughly that
even our pet eockroaehes sueeumbed.
When the heir apparent Is youn sister
showed signs and spots of measly ma
ture last year she was as unquarantined,
tnfumigated and undarkened as in the
days of my youth. So you see fashions
in coping with contagious disease chang
like the cut Of a coat.
The Swedish masseue who is doing
her desperate best to rub away my div
ers chins told me when she was wee
girl with measles in Sweden they took
her down to the village smithy and
turned the bellows ON her tiny body
which was covered only with spots AT
the time. / presume that was their idea
of knocking the spots off her but l am
glad we haven I gone in for any import
ed styles of measles curing over here.
The very newest and smartest 1917
model for treating whooping cough is
the innoeulation method. A shot Of the
serum may not keep the victim abso-
luteIy from whooping it up but it win
shorten and tighten the duration of the
who0ps.
Of course innoeulations for typhoid,
antitoxin for diptheria and vaccination
for smallpox have been quite stylish
and much worn for sundry seasons but

Major Murphy, head of the Red Cross
Commission to France, asked that
America might aid in the work.
To carry the work on scale SO that
every army corps at the front could be
supplied with such canteen, the War
Council has appropriated 100000.
Hot Drinks by the Gallon

trenches they will find the service in full
operation and will share in its benefits.
The typical canteen of this sort is
