Hot-Weather Precautions For
Handling Hogs In Transit.

Every hog that is killed II
transit due to overcrowdlng OF
mlshandling means a loss, al
present prices, of probably more
than $50 to the shipper as well
as waste of meat needed by the
Nation. Mortality in transit or
after arrival at the central market
can be lessened greatly in hot
weather by the practice of the
following simple precautions on
the part of shippers and dealers :
l. When hogs are very hot,
during or after a drive, never
pour cold water over their backs.
2. Before loading, clean out
each car and bed it with sand
which, during dry, hot weather
should be wetted down thorough
ly. Hogs in transit during the
night only are not so likely to
be lost from overheating as are
the animals shipped in the day
time. With day shipments in
hot weather it is highly advisa-
BILE to suspend burlap sacks of
ice from the ceiling in various
parts of the car in order to re-
duce the temperature and, incl
dentally, to sprinkle the animals
with cool water. The ice some
times is placed in sacks on the
floor, but the animals are likely
to pile and crowd around the
cakes so that only those close to
the ice are benefited. The ice
should be sufficient to last to the
destination.
3. Do not overload. Crowdiug
hogs in a car during warm
weather is prolific source of
4. Feeding of corn, because of
it's heating effect, before and
during shipment in hot weather,
should be reduced to a minimum.

Chronic Constipation

Perhaps you have never thought OIL
it, but this disorder is due to lack
OF moisture in the residual matter OF
the food. If you will drink an
abundance OF water, eat raw fruits
and take lots of outdoor exercise, you
may be able eventually to overcome
It entirely. In the meantime use the
most mild and gentle laxtives. Strong
and harsh cathartics take too much
water out OF the system and make a
bad matter worse. Chamberlain

THE COMING CENTURY.

We are coming into the "age
of the character" though, as in
that bright future, the people
who are worth while will come
into their own-be known, re-
spected and loved and valued as
they ought to be. Not tinsel,
not fine feathers, not veneered
human beings will rank first;
not riches, nor talents, but
Christian character will sit at
the head of the table and be set
in the middle of the stage, not
the wings. This war will bring
out into the open the fit, the
efficient, the dependable.

SUMMARY OF WAR NEWS.

Austria's armies again are be-
yond the Piave. and the river line
once more bars the enemy from
Venetian Plain. The crushed
Austrian forces not only were
pursued to the river, but the
Italians at points have occupied
stroug bridgeheads on the eastern
bank.
Many thousands of the invad-
ers were killed in their attempt
to regain the eastern bank of
the river. and the latest an
nouncement from General Diaz
places the number OF prisoners
alone at 10000. One report
places the Austrian casualty to.
tai of 200, 900 men. In addition,
the enemy lost large stores of
munitions and supplies and many
guns.
Apparently the sudden torrent
in the Piave which PLAYED havoc
with Austrian communication
fell as quick as it arose and the
river bed was dry when the Aus
trian retreat began. This en-
abled the enemy to get many Of
his troops across, otherwise his
losses would have been measure.
bly, greater.
1t has been reported that Baror
Burian, the Austro-Hungariar
foreign minister, told the Ger
man command that grave events,
possibly revolution, would follow
in the Dual Monarchy if an Aus
trian attack, which Germany in
sisted upon, was repulsed.
Operations on the mountain
front are still at standstill and
if Emperor Charles still desires
to push his offensive against
Italy the next enemy attacks
may come from this front unless
the Italians continue their ad.
vance eastward from the Piave,
of which, however, there are nc
indications at present.
Along the front from the
North Sea to Switzerla nd the
Allied armies are awaiting
another blow from the Germans.
Premier Lloyd George has told
the British House of Commons
that another gigantic enemy eff.

WHAT WILL. BE DONE WITH
 TROOPS NOW AT CAMPS

Little Rock, Nov ll.-There is much speculation as to what will be done with troops now in camp, since the practical conclusion of peace, It is generally believed, and the attitude of the government indicates it, that large force will be required to police Russia and the Balkans, and other sections of Europe, possibly portions of Germany and Austria, for year or more, and that large part of this duty will fall upon American troops. It is not believed there will be an inn mediate demobilization, but that the major portion of the army will be re- tained intact for peace duty for year or more after the peace treaty is signed.
