United Pressl

WASHINGTON, May 9-The United
States government is urging increased
raising of pigs. The meat supply of
the country must be increased, and
the quickest way to do it is by rails
ing hogs.
Concerning the production of pork,
the department of agriculture has the
following to say:
THE meat supply of the country
can be increased more quickly by the
hog route that by any other The
country's need to augment its sup
ly is great, but prevailing high prices
alone should be sufficient inducement
to farmers to raise more hogs.

all markets show that the demand for
pork is in excess of the supply"
For easy money the hog is unequal
led, according to the bureau of ami
NAL industry of the department The
bureau points out that the hog, while
requiring less care than the average
farm animal, obligingly eats all of the
farms by-products. Kitchen refuse,
skim milk, scraps from the table, may
all be turned into palatable pork in
short order
One point brought out is that in
creased production of pork would
lower the price of beef.
That it may become the fad for
each child to raise a pig, was pointed
out following the adoption of such a
scheme, with notifications in Ohio.

CULTURED BOSTON TAKES A

Boston, Mass-Boston has voted by

saloon. This does not mean that the
Club" endorses intemperance, but that
it prefers regulation to prohibition.
Possibly Boston voters had in mind the
neighboring city of Portland which,
under the Maine prohibitory law had
been tolerating so illegal, wide-open
saloons. Mayor Chapman recent or
der to close these saloons disclosed 100
"blind tigers" doing a thriving bust
ness. An amendment by Senator I'm
derwood to leave the question to a pop
ular vote of Washingtonians, women
and men, was defeated. This debate
and Mr.. Bryan's advocacy of national
prohibition prompted Henry Waiter
son, editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal, to say: "Intelligent self-con-
troll is doing much to draw men away
from strong drink. Science is doing
much to abridge disease. But the re-
generation of men must proceed from
within and is of slow growth. We
cannot hope to eliminate death, nor is
prohibition likely to end drunken

CONTAGIOUS DISEASE DoNT's.

Don't forget that you should keep a
child at home and away from other
children, if sick in any degree.
Don't fail to get doctor and learn
what is the matter with the child.
Take no risk.
Don't forget that diphtheria anti
toxin given the first day saves the
child. If given later, some will not be
saved.
Don't wait until the second day of
illness before calling a doctor.
Don't allow anyone to visit child
in any way sick until it is certain the
illness is not the beginning of a con-
tagious disease.
Don t forget that measles, whooping
cough, scarlet fever and dipththeria
are conveyed every day because this
rule is not followed.
Don't allow a child not feeling well
to go to school, kindergarten, Sunday
school, the nickel theatre or visit with
playmates. A child is a danger to
others on the first day of the onset of
all the contagious diseases. The ma
ture of a contagious disease is hardly
ever determined the first day of the
attack
Don't chance any slight indisposi-
ton.
Don't neglect a cold, sore throat,
cough or slight rash. 1t may be the
beginning of contagious disease.
Don't fail to protect the public, your
neighbors and your other children from
the danger lurking in these slight all
ments.
Don't give your neighbours children
a contagious disease. The results are
the same, if you do so ignorantly in
stead of purposely.
Don't let the child with a cold,
cough or sore throat mingle with or
play with other children.
Don t let your children go visiting
or play with other children, just be-
cause you want to get them out of the
house for a time. Keep the ailing child
at home where it belongs.
