A collection Of the vanity pots of an
Egyptian lady Of quality, rescued
from the tomb which held her num-

to London. In it, wonderfully blown
glass took the place of the silver toilet
accessory of the present time.
Some of the glass pots are beauti-
fully iridescent-due to the inroads
made on the pots by the acid in the
stibium with which they were filled,
and with which the Egyptian beauty
painted her eyelids, and eyebrows.
The collection included a henna pot

ter. Anti-hog-cholera serum is not a
cure, but when used as soon as cholera
appears in a herd it seems to have a
favorable effect OH some animals in the
very early stage of the disease. Don't
rely on serum to cure sick hogs; it is
primarily preventive.
If the disease comes to your farm
and runs Its course, dlslnfect thor
oughly afterwards all places where
sick hogs have been. First, remove all
infected manure and spread on fields
inaccessible to hogs. Burn all litter,
rubbish and old troughs from infected

houses, exposing the interior TO sun

buildings in which sick hogs have been
