Special to Times Republican.
GrnneIl, Feb. 6.-R. e. Rolofson, of
the Intercollegiate Prohibition Associa-
ton, has been in Grinnell the past few
days organizing local branch at Grin
nell.
The organization as perfected here Is
under the leadership Of the college Y.
NJ. and Y. W. c. A. The president of
the local branch will be selected from
the Y. ". c. A. cabinet and the vice
president from the Y. w. c. A. cabinet.
The other officers will be selected by
the Christian associations, altho they
will not be cabinet members. This is
a decidedly different plan from that
used in most schools where the prohi-
btion association is an entirely sep
arate organization. But 1t was thought
that the Grinnell branch would be more
valuable and permanent Il 1t was UNI
der the direct supervision Of the Chris
tan associations.

sociat:on has local leagues IN about
500 of the leading colleges in the Unit
ed States, including Iowa Ames, Cor
nell. Coe and other Iowa colleges. Thru
its branches and publications il reaches

A Woman's Vocation

One of our modern writers has said,
"A woman is as efficient in business as
a man--when she is"
The reason why sometimes she is not
so efficient is that her health may fail.
But the wise business woman knows
now what to do when attacked by the
ailments peculiar to the so-called
weaker sex" That greatest OF all
remedies for woman's ills, Lydia Z.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. has
been freeing women from such ailments
for forty years. Try 1t, II you suffer
from such an ailment and insure your
competency and efficiency in the bust
ness world.

broken animals go to the cotton fields

often go to the European war market.
Imrie Bros. usually ship horses to
Maine by express. 1t costs something
over $500 to ship q carload Of horses
in this way, and 1t takes about three
days time, whereas to ship by freight
it would take much longer. In spite or
the coming Of the auto trucks in our
larger cities, the demand for draft
horses Is almost greater than the sup,
ply right now. The. war has drained
the country of the poorer grade OF
horses. of which there was an enor-
nous supply, and 1t Is the opinion OF
BUYERS that following the war the
farmer will do we'll to raise nothing
but the best grades of heavy horses
and not let the country get stocked up
on the medium or poorer grades again.

CHOLERA PREVENTION a
AND TREATMENT lF
DISEASE APPEARS

The bureau Of animal industry has
issued the following bulletin relative to
hog cholera:
To keep hog cholera from reaching
your herd, locate your hos lots and
pastures away from streams and pub
lie highways, and do not allow your
hogs to run on free range or highways
nor to have access to canals or irri-
cation bitches.
Do not visit your neighbors farm nor
allow him to visit you II he has hog
cholera on his premises.
Do not drive into hog lots after driv-
ing on public highways.
Do not use hog lots for yarding
wagons and farm implements.
Do not place newly purchased stock,
stock procured or borrowed for breed
ing purposes. or exhibited at county
fairs Immediately with your herd.
Keep your stock quarantined in separ-
use care in feeding and attending stock
to prevent carrying infection from
there to other pens.
Burn to ashes or cover with quick
lime and bury under feet of earth
all dead animals and the viscera re-
moved from animals at butchering time
because they attract buzEards, dogs.
ETC., which are liable to carry hog chol-
era infection.
II hog cholera appears in the neigh
borhood confine your dog and encour-
age your neighbor to do the same.
Mango, lice, and worms lower the vi
tAlity OF hogs, rendering them mora
susceptible to disease.
If hog cholera appears in your herd
have all hogs treated 1T once with
anti-hog cholera serum, after which
they should be kept on q light diet
with pure drinking water, and conf1n-
ed to limited quarters that should be
cleaned and sprayed times week
with Il part of compound cresol solu-
ton to 80 parts of water" until this
disease has abated in the herd.
To obtain the best results the serum
must be administered as, soon as the
disease Is detected in the herd. Be
sure that the temperature Of all hogs
is taken. A temperature above 10l
degrees F. in ordinary weather and
when the animal is not excited indi
Gates infection, and such hogs require
an increased dose OF serum.
To rid the premises of infection, re-
move all manure and mix 1t thoroughly
with quicklime.
Burn all litter. rubbish, and old hog
troughs.
After the premises are thoroughly
cleaned. spray walls. floors, and other
surfaces, including remaining hog
troughs. ETC., with disinfectant Il
part compound cresol solution to 30;
parts water) Where hog houses arel
small, turn them over exposing inter-
Tor to sunlight. Clean premises. prop
erly exposed to sunlight, will not retain
infection any great length Of time.
Wallow holes and cesspools should
be filled in, drained, or fenced off.
All runs underneath buildings should
be cleaned and disinfected and then
boarded up to keep hogs out. ~
Destroy hogs that do not fully re-
cover. as they may be carriers Of choi-
era infection. i
