GOVERNMENT FIGURES MIS
USED 8Y MEDICINE MAKERS
Washington, D. C, Jan. 11 Th
attention of the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the United States De
partment of Agriculture has bee
called to the fact that the makers ol
a medicine sold as a hog-cholera rem
edy arc misusing government figure:
of the results obtained by federa
agents by the use of antihogcholera
serum, as evidence of the efficiency
of their medicine. In several maga'
-ines there have appeared reading no
tices in which there are statement!'
that this medicine has resulted in
saving many hogs from hog cholera
in Pettis county. Missouri, Mongom
ery county, Indiana, and Dallas com
ty, Iowa. The figures given to indi
cate the results art exactly those re
ported to the Department by its
agents as showing the use and effect
of antihog-cholera serum in sick
herds.
For example, the government fig
ures on the use of serum, which are
misused in this way by the medicine
concern, are as follows:
Pettis county Mo., Hogs in infected
herds treated, 5,904: hogs lost, 1,038
Montgomery county, Ind., number of
sick hogs in infected herds treated,
4.562: hogs lost. 894. Dallas county.
Iowa, number of sick hogs in infected
herds treated, 5.6S6: hogs lost, 1,998
It is scarecly possible that any rem
edy could have been used on identi
cally the same number of hogs and
with exactly the same results as the
antihog-cholera serum. On this
charge the inspector in charge in Pet
tis county, Missouri, states: "As far
as w-e are able to ascertain none of
this remedy has been used in Pettis
county."
farmers and others, therefore, are
w arned not to confuse this "remedy"
with the antihog-cholera serum which
is the one method of treatment used
by the Federal Department of Agri
culture.

YOUNG SOCIETY LAD
EATS NO CAKE OR CANDY
Wilson Urged to Help in Effect
to Save Poor of Washington
From Loan Sharkes.
By Burton K. Standish.
(Written for the United Press)
Washingtotn, Jan. 13. There is
little boy in Washington, the son of
one of the most well known men in
the United States who has never last
cd candy, ice cream or cake. When
he goes to parties, like all other little
boys and girls he takes several gra
ham crackers and when his compan
ions eat candy, and cake and ice
cream, he eats crackers. And this
little boy goes to scores and scores of
parties. He has never been ill and is
strong and healthy with "hard mus
cles" according to his father.
This little fellow with this unique
record is the two and a half years old
son of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, former
chief chemist of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
And besides Master Wiley doesn'l
want any of those delicacies. "Last
May the Northern Pacific Railway
sent him an 8 pound fruit cake with
two gold plated candles on it," said
Dr. Wiley. "I cut a small piece and
asked him if he wanted some.
"'No. daday. he said, 'Cake not
good for your boy.' "
Dr. Wiley said he was strongly op
posed to feeding children sweets, such
as candy, ice cream and cake.
"It makes children fat and its a sin
to bcin to be fat in babyhood. Wc
get that way soon enough." added this
big stout man.
When the boy attended his first
party, Dr. Wiley said he went along
and when the other children had
lunch he told his boy that sweets
were not good for him and that he
should not eat them. The lad a:;reed
said Dr. Wiley, rnd ate graham crack
ers instead.
He eats his mush without sugar
and cream every morning, said Dr
-Wiley, "and yon couldn t make him
eat it any other way. He has never
been taught to eat candy and sweets
and he doesn't want them. Every
Sunday evening he gets some black
berry preserves, which he enjoys, but
they have acids and other foods in
them and are nourishing."
The youngster didn't eat a bite of
candy, or cake on Christmas, the feast
day of mose others boys and girls.
Dr. Wiley said he bought no candy
for his children. Instead they had
fresh fruits and nufs.
Dr. Wiley said children should not
have candy because it interferes with
their digestion, decays their teeth and
makes them crave an unusual amount.
No one under 18 years of age should
eat candy, said Dr. W iley. And he
recommended it for men and women
who work h-d physically. He said
it was especially good for football
players and that he recommended to
the Harvard coach that each player
eat sugar during the game. "Sugar
burns up quickly in the blood," he
added.
If Great Britain is still interfering
with Germany's mail outside of the
Fatherland it is not affecting the pay
checks of the employs of the German
embassy here. It was state at the
embassy recently that the checks
came through from the Kaiser's treas
ury regularly every month.
-President Wilson has been asked
o aid in laving the poor of W-s' intr-
n from extortion at the hands of tl e
oan sharks. Reiiesenting the Asso
ciated Charities of this city, Henry
White, former United States ambas
sador to France and W. H. Baldwin,
urged him to get congress, at its ear-
iest convenience to pass the amend
ment to the Loan Shark Law, which
sub-committee of the House Ju
diciary reported favorably last -April.
The affect of these amendments,
Baldwin explained, would raise the
rate of interest which loan companies
can charge to 2 per cent a month,
from the present rate of 1 per cent,
and prohibiting licensed chattle loan
brokers from conducting a savings
bank business.
President Wilson is understood to
have promised to give the matter
early attention, and, if further study of
the question convinced him that the
amendment should be passed, to urge
congress to take action.
Father Lane went to Portland this
morning.
J. A. Byers, of Tangent, was in
town this morning on his way to
East Independence on business.
Father John A. Van Neve!, of
Grants Past, is visiting in Albany.
Feodore Tet-ie. of Gates, who has
been spending the last few days in
Portland, passed through Albany this
morning on his way home.
HEALTH OFFICERS WORK "
HARD TO CHECK PLAGUE
Washington, Jan. 13. The war ot
extermination aginst squirrels being
conducted in California by the United
Slates Public Health Service in con
nection with the precautions against
plague has resulted in the death of
-II,I50,(XH) rodents, according to fig
ures just announced.
During the epidemic of plague in
San Francisco in l1?-!4-10. it was dis
covered that the ground squirrel, a ru
ral rodent which abounds on the Pa
cific coast, had acquired the infection
Cases of plague in human beings
which had occurred in rural districts!
were traced to these rodents. The
health service at once decreed their
death.
Since I'X'S, the chief efforts of the
Public Health Service and the Cali
fornia state board of health, acting
in cooperation, have been directed to
eradication of plague frort anion;
squirrels. The most satisfactory
work, it is stated has been accom
plished since July 1. 1913, due to the '
fact that sufficient funds and ade- j
quate legislation were provided by the
state legislature at its last session.
Ninety per cent of the squirrels
on an area of J.I00.tXM acres, or about i
equal the sue of Connecticut, have
been destroyed since July 1. 1913. The
infection has almost disappeared in i
this area. So effective has been the j
work of the hunters that they have
to cover an area of 26 acres to catch j
one squirrel j
'In view of this fact it is believed
that all discoverable plague has been I
eliminated from California." says the I
Public He.ilth Service, "and that the"!
danger of its further spread has been
removed. Observation will be main
tained until after the next breeding
season, which begins in April, when
-if no further infection has made its
appearance the statement can be
made with certainty that no further
plague exists in California. 1-argc
economic benetits have accrued to
farmers as a result of squirrel destruc-
tioin and all are now interested in fin
ally destroying' these animals.
Pig clubs are the latest fad in Lou
isiana, says the Department of Agri
culture in a bulletin just issued. The
contest of members of the pig clubs
at the Louisiana State Fair at Shreve
port was highly successful, the de
partment reports. Although the fair
authorities limited the number of en
tries to 150, boys from all parts of
the state shipped 185 pigs.
The southern farmer, by virtue of
his location and climate, is splendidly
situated for the production of fowl
and eggs, says the Department of Ag
riculture in a bulletin just issued. The
mild winters and early springs make
the production of eggs an easy mat
ter when prices are high.
On many farms throughout the
country, says the Department, the
money derived from the- sale of poul
try and eggs buys the groceries and
clothing for the entire family. Every
Southern farmer can do as well, and
should aim to keep at least 50 hens
for laying purposes and home con
sumption. Select some of the Amer-

While prices are good, the depart
ment of agriculture advises -farmers
should get busy and m.-.kc contract
with the city folks to ship eggs by
parcel post throughout the year.
With a parcel post rgg market es
tablished the farmer can depend upon
a reliable income all the year around
and utilise the mails for marketing
other products If the eggs experi
ment proves successful.
Once having secured a parcel post
market for eggs, it w ill be a very easy
matter to market many other things
by the same method such as butter.
