Baby Welfare Day.

The success of Baby Welfare Day wa:
largely due to the beautifully decorated
store windows, generous tag day re-
ceipts, the very pleasing entertainment
given by the school children and the
baby welfare films at the World.
Following is from an annual report
by the United States Children's Blu
reau
"Work for infant welfare is coming
to be regarded as more than philan-
throphy or assurance of good will 1t
is a profoundly important public con-
Germ which tests the public spirit and
the democracy of the community. There
is perhaps no better sign of the mod
erness of the administration than the
proportion of the income, which is as
signed to the protection of infancy and
childhood. 1t is fair to remind our
selves that a large amount of invaluable
volunteer work is going on in many
cities, whose budgets show no items for
this purpose but, whether by public
or private effort the community increas-
ingly accepts its share of responsibility
for the helpfulness of individual dwell
ing places, and fitness for the rearing
of children" ~

Hog Cholera in Monroe
 County.

There is a great deal of hog cholera in Monroe county nows In October and November, every year. cholera does it's greatest damage to our hogs. These are the high" months in fatalities, while the low month is always February. This would seem to indicate that a period of dry, warm weather is favorable for the spread of the disease. while the wet, cold weather of winter seems to check it.
 Hog cholera is a disease caus- ed by a specific organism. There fore, feeding, handling, penning in unsanitary pens, pasturing. lack of any care; none of these, however badly they may be done can give a hog cholera without the presence and work of the cholera organism. It is true that carelessness in hand ling, housing and feeding hogs may so weaken them that they will be more susceptible to the attack of the organism, but be- fore cholera can break out in a herd of hogs, the germ MUST be introduced from some outside source. Since this is true. it be- hooves those who have healthy hogs to see to it that those who are losing hogs dispose of the carcasses in strict compliance with the rules of sanitation and of the law. By strictly observ- ing these rules and laws is the only means whereby we are ever to get free from cholera. The law specifically states that every carcass must be burned or buried not less than three feet deep.
 So long as buzzards and stray dogs eat from the carcusses of dead hogs. just so long will they continue to carry the infections, about with them and give it to the healthy herds. This matter of a safe disposal or burning of the carcases is of greatest inn portance just now. It IS great ly to be hoped that every one who loses hogs will comply with the law, as every one knows it, and not make it necessary for the powers that be to assess a fine on them and have it done.
 There is only one preventive
