deaths that would have been prob
able without vaccination. This saw
Ing does not include thousands Of hogs
that have escaped the disease by pre-
ventive measures adopted on the rec
concentrations Of county agents.
Personal instruction Given.
In many counties the agents instruct
the farmers personally how to vac
cinate hogs, quarantine herds, and
clean up and disinfect their premises.
For instance, in Scott county, Mis-
souri,, the agent loans the farm bu-
reau's instruments to individual farm
ers. He vacclnates several hogs for
the farmer and then has the farmer
vaccinate a number under his direc'
ton. The farmer vacclnates the 9TH
er hogs himself and returns the in
| struments to the farm bureau Office.
| Serum is sold by the bureau to the
I farmers at cost. In this county IS per
| cent Of the 1,737 hogs vaccinated un.
der the direction Of the agents were
saved. Before county agent work was
undertaken there, hog vaccination for
cholera was practically unknown.
In Seward county, Nebraska. the
farm bureau also lends instruments
| for vaccination to farmers and sells
serum at cost. In Allen county. In
diana, thorough publicity is given the
presence Of hog cholera In a %neighbor-
hood in order to stimulate interest in
a public meeting called Immediately
in the community. The county agent
| gives an illustrated talk on the ma
ture, prevention and eradication Of
cholera, presenting 1t as a community
problem and perfecting an %organiza-
ton which in every instance has pre-
vented spread from the first outbreak.
Spread Of Disease Prevented.
The special value Of such organiza-
| lions Is that the disease is caught In
the beginning and eliminated before 1t
has had time to infect all hogs in a
herd or spread to n%eighboring herds.
The agent in K~ingsbury county, South
Dakota, reports that last year 10 diff
| ferent outbreaks occurred, with q loss
! of 154 head, whereas in 1915 1880 head
were lost from cholera. In this u
ty the community organization plan
was followed. In johnson county, In
diana, where community meetings were
held, the result has far exceeded the
country agents expectations. accord
ing to his report. Farmers co-Operat-
ed heartily in preventing the spread
Of the disease, farms were thoroughly
d%isinfected, hogs were vaccinated
early, neighbors were notified of out
breaks in order that they might pro-
tect their own herds, and in conse-
auence there have been less than 30
cases Of cholera in the county this
year, and In no instance has the dis
ease gotten beyond control.

of this work.
The photograph was taken in the plant Of the London General Omnibus
company, which has not only been able to train women IS conductors, but
actually employs them in the highly technical branches of motor engineering,
which they carry out efficiently in practically all its branches.
When 1t Is considered how many people intrust their lives to motorbusses
built by these women it will be readily realized how efficient these women

Not only are they building mOtorbusses, but also motortrucks and other

Maj.-Gen. George Barnett, com mandant of the United States Marine Corps, is graduate, of the Naval Academy, to which institution he was appointed from Wisconsin in 1877. He has had service in Cuba, Panama, the Philippines, with the legation guard at Pekin, China and on numerous cruises with the Atlantic fleet. He com manded an expeditionary force of ma rines in Cuba in 1906. and, in fact. was the first officer in command of troops that landed in the island to form the army of Cuban pacification. In the early part of 1914 he was de- tached from command of the marine barracks at the Philadelphia navy yard and named by Secretary Daniels to become head of the Marine corps. The record of General Barnett has been uniformly excellent all through his military career.

Cigarettes contain four kinds of poison, the nicotine of the tobacco, lime, lead and arsenic are used to tougher the papers. These poisons pass into the body and eat the red cor puscles out of the blood.

RELYING ON INVENTIONS.

There are millions of Americans. perhaps, who believe that our entrance into the great war will mean that Thomas A. Edison or somebody like him will invent something to ''reyolutionize" it.
 The average American wouli rather depend upon the genius of some inventor than upon the genius of a general.
 Before we enter the gory male strOm we invented two contrivances that are being used diligently in ad- dition to the things we invented years ago that are part of the equipment of the European forces.
 Recently, when the submarine menace became acute, an American tipped the English off to the chemi- cal smoke screen, which is done by burning chemical along the side of the ship, creating deDse smoke that hides the vessel from submarines. Ships passing through the submarine zone are using the contraption with evident success.
 Another enemy of the submarine we invented has been the so-callcd "sub-chaser," which word is, of course, contraction Of submarine chaser These yachts cannot helo being marvellously effective and are already in use in the "barred zone.
