Throughout the ages, one of the first and most certain results of war has been a marked increase in the contagious disease of live stock. One serious animal disease, for example gained entry here be fore the war, and has already caused serious losses to live stock producers in a number of states. This plague is known a t Swine Erysipelas— a name which is prob ably more fam iliar to most Am er ican farm ers than the disease itself. Today, serious outbreaks of E ry sipelas are gaining in frequency in many states. Naturally, the great est losses have occurred in the swine raising sections of the Middle West, but according to the American Foundation for Animal Health, the disease has now been recognized in at least 39 states. Swine Erysipelas is caused by a specific bacterial organism. In swine, this organism or germ may cause several different types of the disease varying from the very acute blood-poisoning type, to the slowly developing chronic type character ized by lameness, enlarged joints, and sometimes by inflamed or dead areas of the skin. In its more acute forms, the symptoms may resemble those of hog cholera and laboratory examinations by a veterinarian are frequently required in differentiating the two diseases. The fact that Erysipelas and Cholera symptoms are often very much alike is undoubtedly an im portant factor in the recent spread of the form er disease in this coun try. I f veterinary diagnosis is not made, and the disease is allowed to run its course, many farm ers con clude that their hogs have recov ered from an attack of cholera, when as a m atter of fact the animals have been suffering from Erysipe las. This is a very serious error in view of the fact that it has been definitely proved that animals that have recovered from an attack of the disease may carry the causative germ in their body tissues for rela tively long periods. The first point for every farm er to rem em ber is that Erysipelas often resembles hog cholera. Guesswork is a poor substitute for accurate diagnosis w hen either of these dan gerous diseases is involved. And finally, an effective treatm ent for Erysipelas is now available and should be used whenever the disease is indicated, not only to help save the infected hogs, but to help pre vent further spread of the disease in thia country. moderate oven (350 degrees) for 35 to 40 minutes.

Cod grant that I each morning Hart My duties with a cheerful heart. And cheerfully perform my part. To wear a smile all through the day, To banish thoughts unkind away; And when my bedtime comes, to pray. To lay my prayers with folded hands As night comes softly o'er the lands, I o Him, who always understands. And when the bells on New Year's dawn Proclaim the bright New Year is born. And I awake on New Year’s morn. I pray Him whisper, low and sweet To help me guide my wayward feet. Lest I forget my prayer to meet. Ancient Rites Mark Chinese New Year Magnificent parades of giant drag ons and bright lanterns help cele brate New Y e a r’s in China’s big cities, but simple ceremonies m ark the passing of the old year in the great mass of homes. G reat care is taken that ancient customs are nicely observed, be cause New Y e a r’s is the tim e when many events of the coming year are determined. Four days before the new year begins, a feast is spread before the idol in every home. This almost in variably contains sticky candies and syrups, although the gods are not especially pleased with sweets. The candy is offered to stick the god’s jaws together so he cannot tell too much of what he saw on earth when he returns to the heavens. On the last day of the old year, large quantities of water are stored in the house because it is unlucky to draw water during the first three days of the New Moon. The door to every simple home is opened at midnight of the last day as its god re-enters amid blazing firecrackers, incense sticks and flaming candles. After a few min utes the door is tightly closed to keep in the good luck which he brought with him. New Year Is ‘Born’ In Chatham Islands The New Year will be born Janu ary 1 in the lonely Chatham islands 414 miles southwest of New Zealand and race westward 1,000 miles an hour toward the U. S. In accordance with tradition, some 200 shepherds and fishermen will celebrate the arrival of 1941 by proudly ringing the bell of the little church on Hanson island as clocks in New York point to 5 a. m. Decem ber 31. The Chatham islands have the honor of welcoming the new year at its birth because they are the nearest land points to the British adm iralty dateline from which the tim e zones are marked throughout the world. The line curves east and west of the 180th meridian of longitude so that it lies always in the ocean. New Year s Eve Fates E very maiden wonders what the future has in store for her, and this is what she must do on New Y e a r’s day to learn her fate: Turn the pilfow at midnight, the thirty-first of December, and you w ill dream of the man you are to m a rry . Or let her take her hymn book to her bedroom, blow out the lam p, open the book and m ark a hymn (in the d a rk ), put it under the pillow and sleep on it. Next morning when she reads the hymn her fate w ill be revealed. A DORING beaux, broth- ers, uncles and hus- | bands please take notice. | According to latest fashion news that gracious, lovely- lady custom of wearing fra grant flowers in her hair, pinned to her bodice or adorning her fur coat at the game has been revived.

Overshoes Have High, Low Heels Overshoes don’t change much from year to year. They just be come a little neater looking, a lit tle more streamlined and a bit more decorative. But this year the prin cipal news is that the makers of ga loshes have finally realized that many women wear low-heeled shoes during the winter months. So this season you w ill find even the velvet carriage shoes trim m ed with black bunny fur, available in three heel heights—low, Cuban and high. These are extremely smart worn with a velvet trimm ed cloth coat or one of fur. The fam iliar all-rubber galoshes are also made in the three heel sizes this year, and the toes are given a. boxy look. You’ll find a black on black contrast in these, with shiny rubber applied in a pat tern over the arch, and in a panel around the toes, and on the heels. There are low overshoes that look like grown-up rubbers. These are styled to cover the entire shoe, but stop below the ankle. In order to make these look like shoes they are given a sm art suede finish and trimm ed with shiny rubber for a suede and patent look. Coats Can Serve As Warm Capes Leave it to the sm art young set to do the unusual. At the moment they are wearing their fur or cloth coats to look like capes. Here’s their technique. They turn the sleeves in if coat is of soft wool or if this is not feasible they throw the coat about their shoulders nonchalantly entirely ignorning that it has sleeves. It is a practical gesture, for with the tailored jacketed wool suits now so fashionable it gives not only a “new” look to add the fur-cape touch, but worn in this easy man ner there is comfort without a cum bersome “feel.”
