AVOID HOG CHOLERA GERMS
• Houses and Lots Should Be Arranged
So That They May Be Cleaned
and Disinfected Easily.
. ^Prepared by lhe United State* Deport

Among tlie suggestion.* made by the
United States department of agricul
ture to minimize the danger of in-
i traducing hog cholera germs are the
t following:
Hog houses, lots, and pastures
should be located away from streams
and public highways, and the houses
and lots should be arranged so that
they may lie cleaned and disinfected
readily. They should be exposed as far
as possible to sunlight, which is the
cheapest and one of the beet disin
fectants. Hog lots should not be used
for yarding wagon* and farm imple
ment* and should not be entered with
team and wagon, particularly when
loading stock for shipment to market.
As further precaution no one slioud

Carrying a Ton a Mile
for less than a Cent
Freight rates have played a very small part in the
rising cost of living.
Other causes—the waste of war, under-produc
tion, credit inflation—have added dollars to the
cost of the necessities of life, while freight charges
have added only cents.

A suit of clothing that sold for $..

Now the freight charge is 22 cents and the suit
