We recently drove six
cars through from the

with United States Tires

to be replaced with new

question. All the pretty maids who
can manage 1t, are going along with
the matrons, to some winter resort
where they can wear specially de-

day is long seeing and being seen.
The sunny South has other charms
than it's climate. for the tourist, and
the fashion parade Is one Of them.
There are some millions OF us who

In the South are wearing.
Among the lovely new arrivals In
smart sets that include hat and bag

pieces that herald the dawn OF new

as dainty and pretty as If made with
an eye to look alone, but they are
made OF rainproof or moisture-proof
materials, as rubberized silk or imita-

their charms being beautiful is their
chief business In life and they bring

LOSSES THROUGH
SWINE DISEASES
Cholera, tuberculosis and Para
sites Are Drawbacks.
SIMPLE METHODS ARE URGED
Farmer May Avoid, to Large Extent,
Defamation Of His Herd by Epi-
xootlcs-Sanitary Preventive
Measures Arc Favored.

The greatest drawbacks to the hog
industry that breeders In this country
have to contend with are the losses
through hog cholera, tuberculosis, and
the infestatlon of the animals, espe-
cially young pigs, by parasites. Were
1t not for the fecundlty Of swine their
profitable production In the presence
Of these serious diseases would be out
Of the question. In the following re-
marks on sanitation no attempt Is
made to go into the details Of the dis
eases affecting hogs or their treat
ment. The object is merely to call at
tention to the simple measures which
may be used by any farmer to avoid,
to a large extent, the defamation Of
his herd by epizootics. Cleanliness
and rational methods of management
are relied upon by thousands OF farm
ers to keep their herds in health and
vigor. They are the marks Of the
good farmer and successful hog
breeder.
Hog cholera and swine plague, both
highly fatal diseases characterized by
fever and heavy mortality, are so very
similar that the breeder may regard
them as identical so far as his prac-
teal management of the herd Is con-
cerned. Positive differentiation be-
tween the two diseases can only be
made by the most careful bacteriolog-

The handsome sweatercoat shown at

is an especially good model for slim

What is life without a sweater?
Just like home without a mother-the
next thing to impossible. Besides the
comfort of them sweaters are con-
venient for the casual touch they lend
to the toilette, and they manage to
tone it up, or tone it down-depend-
ing on the kind of sweater and the
manner of wearing it. If one has
q busy day ahead and begins 1t by
dressing for the afternoon, the sweat

turned out q variety of wonderful
sweaters and sweatercoats for women
and almost as interesting an assert

as These.

ical tests, and by employing the as
sistance offered by a fully equipped
laboratory. However. sanitary pre-
ventive methods which are found bene-
flcial with one Of these diseases will
prove equally efficacious with the
other.
There are a few fundamental facts
which the breeder must remember II
he is to avoid losses through hog chol-
era or swine plague. The first is that
germs, and the contagion cannot be
spread from one animal to another or
from one herd to another except
through the agency Of these minute or
ganisms. They may be carried In a
multitude Of ways-by the hogs them
selves, on the clothing of persons, on
vehicles, in feed, by birds, dogs, and
other animals, or by streams. The
breeding or feed of hog cannot cause
either disease, although bad methods
may so weaken the constitution and vi
tally that the animal becomes more
susceptible to them than would other
wise be the case. Since these dis
eases can only arise from the pres
ence of there specific causative agents,
1t can readily be seen that dentition
and the presence Of supernumerary
teeth or black tusks cannot, as has
been suggested by many, play any
part in their development. A second
fact to be borne In mind is that dis
eases caused by germs may be best
prevented or controlled ny thorough
disinfection and scrupulous cleanli-
ness.
tuberculosis Increasing.
tuberculosis is rapidly increasing
every owner Of swine should be on his
guard against the Introduction of this
serious malady upon his premises.
Unlike hog cholera this disease is in
cidious In its attack and slow in its de-
velopment, so that it may be present
for months in q herd without exciting
the least suspicion of the owner, and
will be revealed to him only at the
time of slaughter. Until recent years
tuberculosis has been looked upon as
Of uncommon occurrence and only of
Importance from meat-inspection
Standpoint; but today 1t must be rec
ognized as a serious menace to the
owner of hogs, and especially to the
one who allows his hogs to run with
cattle that have not been proved to be
free of tuberculosis, or who feeds them
upon nonsterilized products as part
of their ration. As tuberculosis OF
hogs is chiefly contracted through eat
ing infected feed, the Importance o,
this statement Is obvious.

While inbreeding is the surest and
quickest means to fix type, 1t should be
resorted to with the greatest care. The
value of the system is that 1t enables
the breeder to intensity desirable char
acteristics in a herd and makes inn
provement possible in a shorter time
than where selection alone is used. 1t
stands to reason that If desirable
characteristics can be intensified, the
same will be true of undesirable ones.
Much of the disaster which seems to
have followed inbreeding has probably
been due to the fact that this point
was overlooked or given only slight
Importance, and thus loss OF vitality
and constitution and susceptibility to
disease have followed. Therefore II
the young breeder contemplates In
breeding. he should avoid matings that
tend to unite similar defects. Not only
should care be taken to prevent this
In the animals mated, but there should
be no chance of bad effects due to the
inheritance of undesirable character
istics, from parents and other ances-
tors. Some of the greatest work ever
done in hog breeding has been based
on these principles

CHILDREN PROFIT By DECREASE
IN HOURS OF DRINK TRADE.

The children in Great Britain have
gained, even under such measures of
restriction Of the liquor traffic as have
been introduced by the board of con-
troll. A recent book written by Henry
Carter, Il member of the board, states
that the number of deaths of infants
from everything decreased by 40 per
cent In 1916 as compared with 1914.
The number steadily declined with the
decrease in arrests for drunkenness.
Cases of cruelty and neglect of chill.
dren due to drunkenness dealt with by
the National Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children decreased
from 400 per cent in 1914-15 to 3l.2
per cent in 1867. With 1t went
general Improvement In the homes
and nutrition Of children, better rest
because the streets became quiet ear
lier due to the earlier closing hour of
the public house. The long evenings
In Great Britain, coupled with late
closing of the saloons, tended to keep
the children on the streets often until
midnight, while the streets would not
grow quiet until one o'clock or later,
Such conditions were, of course, dctrl'

welfare. So much gain Great Britain
has won for her children merely by

A CORRECTION

Charlottesville Democrat: Mrs.
S. j. Jeffrcss returned Friday from
visit to Hayti, her former home. She
brings the news that Mrs. Streiff, of
that city, has recently had letter
from her son, Sergeant Johnny
Strein, stating that he had reached
New York City with a contingent of
sick and wounded troops, among
them were many Company B boys.
Sergeant Streiff has suffered severe
injury to his eyes, probably from the
effects Of gas, which is now seems
may permanently impair his sight.
This rumor seems to have gotten
out by mistake, that the above party
had lost his eyesight, such not be-
ing the case. Sergt. Streiff was
severely wounded in the arm and
shoulder, and further in this paper
we publish letter from him to his
mother, telling of the matter. This
letter was written by himself ana
bears out the fact that lie has not
suffered any eye injury.
