Hog-ChoIcra LOSSES On Decline

Since 1918, when the United States
Department of Agriculture began
work to control hog cholera. the
dreaded disease has become less and
less destructive each year. a force
averaging 1861 Federal veterinarians
has been maintained. working in CO.
operation with State Authorities in
charge of quarantine and other regu-
latory measures necessary for the
success of control work. During the
fiscal year 1918 more than 100000
hogs were inoculated with anti-hog-
cholera serum, and more than 2,2OO
farms. found to be infected with
cholera, were cleaned and disinlect-
ed under supervision of the depart
ment veterinarins.
Altogether, representatives of the
department visited mare than H.
900 farms to investigate reported
outbreaks, to apply preventive mea-
sures, and to clean and disinfect
premises. How great a menace hog
cholera has been to the Nations
swine industry may be judged from
the accepted estimate that 80 per
cent of hogs lost from all ailments
die from cholera. In 1918 the death
rate of swine from disease was plac-
ed at 42.1 per thousand. Thu the
loss was slightly above 4 per CEN
for the United States, the lowest on
record, according 10 the department 5
figures.

Soy Beans as Green Vegetables.
Hahto soy beans, introduced from
Japan, are eXcellant for the prOduc-
tion of green beans similar to lima
and butter beans. About 115 days
are required for the bean to make
sufficient growth for use as green
vegetable. Although the HahtO bean
is best adapted for growing in the
Southern States, it may also be sue
cessfully produced as green vegeta-
bit during favorable seasons through
out the corn belt, according to
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Being a
bush variety, it also is adapted for
forage production, its yield of green
feed or seed being superior To many
other varieties on the market. In
dry form the Hahto bean cooks up
easier than other varieties and has a
better flavor. This bean is to be
grown extensively by boys and girls
gardening clubs in the southern
States during the coming season.

project, formerly the Truckee-Carson
project. in Nevada, than could be
handled by the local slaughterers.
As a result representative of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture advocated cooperative ship
ments TO be marketed in San Francis
co. He arranged with the farmers
to deliver their surplus porkers on a
certain date. so that the animals
could be shipped in carload lots. The
total shipping and marketing eX-
penses ranged from u to u cents
a pound, so that producers realized
a greater net income than from hogs
sold at home. This initial shipment
was so successful that henceforth the
general farmers of the Newlands pro-
ject intend to market all their sur

Of the poorest possible quality at the

While he was attending a little
group of customers l had wandered to-
ward the back of the store, curiously
examining the thousand and one COM
modities which supplied the strange
needs of humanity here in this lost
corner Of the world; and, thus occu-
pied, l was diverted by voice like
sudden music, q voice oddly rich and
laughing and confident for such grim

fore, and not so very long ago. When

ately arrested, as enc always Is by

contrast indeed-to the spiritless, fur

going hitherto-was this superb young
creature, tall and 1.-THE, with proudly
carried head on glorious shoulders.
Her skin was a golden olive, and it

POSSESS TOO MANY DRESSES
gance in Supply of Garments,
According to an Expert.

Most women have too many gowns
make large selection of gowns. The
principal reason why women have so
many clothes is because they love to
be attractive In the eyes Of others, and
they wonder what some other person
will think about their clothes, rather
than If the selection is suitable to
themselves, according to Miss Florence
Hunt, assistant in clothing and dress.
Kansas State Agricultural college.
american women are the most eX-
travagant of any women in the world,
yet there is no other place on the
globe where clothes of good quality
may be secured so cheaply," she told
a visitor recently.
''The American woman believes she
is compelled to follow the latest fads
which are merely trade schemes Of
the designers and manufacturers to
make the goods sell more quickly on
the market.
Some of the most common mis-
takes women make in the selection of
clothes are: More attention Is paid
to details of cut than to the quality
of the material; they own too many
clothes; they think of the cost rather
than the value; and they have not
learned what is most becoming to
them.
''In selecting gowns one should
study lines, color and materials.
at is possible for the average
American woman to be well dressed
if she has one good suit, one good
indoor costume, one dress and wrap
for the evening"

WOMAN'S RIGHT TO BE PRETTY
She Who Has Reached Middle Age
Should Not Give Up Endeavor
to Improve Looks.

Why shouldn't woman do all she
can to improve herself after she passes
the middle-age milestone? 1t Is more
Of a duty then than ever before. And
It usually isn't so much of task, for
by that time she has learned enough
to know she daren't upset her diges-
ton and bring on pimples and other
ugly marks by improper eating, and
she usually leads much saner and
simpler life than her young friends.
The older woman need remember
but one thing in connection with her
complexion-that Is, use plenty of
grease" on 1t. Grease" is not a
nice word. Some doctors use it when
they mean vaseline, oil or cold cream.
The older woman's complexion Is dry
ing up-oils are necessary to feed it.
She must be lavish with cold cream.
and the cold cream must be nourish-
ing as well as cleansing.
After cold cream, the astringent is
second in Importance. With advanc-
Ing years the tiny muscles under the
skin weaken and sag. Astringents
will draw them up. Ice is one of the
best things to use. For the hair, a
good tonic is absolutely essential and
frequent massage to stimulate the
function of the so-called roots. Exer-
else and fresh air are other daily ne
ceSSitieS.

NEcKPIECES OF FUR APPEAR
Choker Collars TO Be Had In All Short
Haired Peltry; Usually Part
of Set.

Little fancy neckpieces In fur make
their appearance as usual at this sea-
son. One shape has a square end
and a pointed one, the point being
thrust through a slit in the square In
order to draw the neckpiece closely
up about the throat.
An old favorite is the straight,
square-ended seal scarf, which buttons
over fatty on the chest.
Squirrel is made into narrow tubular
scarfs of moderate length. which are
finished at the end in one or two fur
balls.
Long scarfs of satin are edged with
bands of fur. The satin matches the
fur in color as closely as possible
Choker collars are to be had in all
the short-haired furs, and usually are
part of a set which includes muff
or hat, or both.
Though squirrel is one of the pop
ular furs of this season it needs a
fresh and rosy weaTer to be becoming.
