Disagree On How Much Beer.

Washington, Nov. s..-Another
difference on the question Of medic
inal beer developed today between
the internal revenue bureau, and the
prohibition unit
The treasury's new regulations
covering the use OF beer for medical
purposes place no limit upon the
number OF prescriptions tor this
remedy physician may write.
However, according to Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes, the prescrip-
tion rules, which have been in force
for some time and limit doctor to
ono hundred. alcoholic prescriptions
every three months, still are in eff
feet and despite the beer regulations
that maximum will be maintained. .
On the other hand internal rev.
enyis officials declared tonight that
the opinion OF ex-Attorney General
Palmer, lega1ixmg the use of beer as
a medicine had overruied the pre-
Il. riptiUu ( Yuixttiors as It held that
the treasury might limit the quanti-
~ or the frequency Of ALCOHOLICS
medicines, bar not both. The ques-
don from the standpoint Of regula-
tions will be definitely settled soon,
It was said.

the province of Shantung to China
received here today, reiterates the

basis Of settlement is too far from
the hopes and expectations OF the

a just basis for Japan's claim that
China has reversed her attitude to-

BIG VALUE OF SELF-FEEDER
Experiments Show Pigs Make More
Gain Than When Handled by
Man and Eat Less, Too.

Expenses may be made less~by the
use of the self-feeding plan in prefer.
ence to the hand-feeding system In
the hog lot. An experiment was con.
Quoted at the Kansas State Agrlcultur-
al college to show the value Of the
self feeder in fattening 75-pound pigs,
and at the same time to show the
amount of tankage required to balance
corn ration. This experiment was
carried on by, DR.. G. w. McCampbell,
E. F. Ferrin, and II. B. Winchester, in
swine feeding Investigations in 1918
and 1919. 49,
Twenty pigs Of the same age, quail
ty, condition, and weight, were put
into two dry lots in groups Of ten.
The pigs in lot ate from a self feed
er, that. was divided in two compart-
ments, one having shelled corn and the
other tankage. The. pigs in lot were
given all they could eat twice a day
of mixture of ten parts shelled corn
and one part tankage. They were
watered twice day in both lots and
the experiment was carried on for
one hundred days. Three days at the
beginning and end Of the test the pigs
were weighed and all weights and ex-
penses were carefully recorded.
The pigs in lot one ate more corn
and less tankage than the handled
pigs in lot 2. That a per cent tank
age could balance q corn ration in fat
tening 75-pound pigs was shown from
this experiment., because the settled
pigs consumed one part tankage and
20 parts corn.
A 1O0-pound gain in handled pigs
was produced by 6.S bushels Of corn
and 38 pounds of tankage, and the
same gain was produced in the self
fed lot by So bushels Of corn and
1866 pounds of tankage, that is to
say that the corn with tankage pro-
duced 14.7 pounds of pork in the hand
fed lot and II pounds Of pork in the
settled lot. 49,, =
The settled pig gets more exercise

he makes to the feeder and in this

A satisfactory means Of inducing
exercise on hog farms consists Of
keeping the sleeping quarters for the

this distance several times daily. How
