WHAT THE CAUSE IS OF THE MANY DISEASES HOGS ARE AFFECTED WITH AND WHAT WILL PREVENT THESE DISEASES

Frank Statement to the Growers of Hogs in the Corn Belt Which Covers Diseases of the Hog That Respond Readily to Treatment of Celebrated Wonder Stock Powders Do Nol wall Ulllll YOU[ Hoos GCI isl 0 CIM Mil™ Adopt a System of Caring for These Little Animals, Everywhere Known as Mortgage Raisers, by Taking an Inventory of Your Hogs Every Monday Morning

What we, the U. S. Chemical Company, claim are the causes of so many diseases hogs are afflicted with, by government reports and by experimenting we find that ninety-seven per cent, of all the diseases known to the hog family originate directly or indirectly through worms. This being true when you get an article that will keep your hogs absolutely free from worms and parasites, you will have them free from 97 per cent, of all the diseases; then by purifying the blood, cleaning and sweetening the stomach and suppressing the fever, you will have the animal in a condition to resist the other three per cent of the diseases in case they come in your community. We, the U. S. Chemical Company, positively guarantee to have a positive worm destroyer. We are putting out an all Drug Compound; not an ounce of food or filler is used in these goods, and we will positively guarantee to show results in from twelve to eighteen hours after feeding, in the way of expelling worms and cleaning out the system. By feeding a little of these powders once or twice a week you will keep your stock in a perfectly healthy condition, and you need have no fear of the dreaded diseases known to the hog family, such as hog cholera and swine plague, etc. Not only that, you will also have your hog’s stomach in a condition so that it will extract ten to twenty per cent, more of the fatting properties of the grain than they would without the use of the powders, thereby giving you the returns on your investment.

Collegeville items.

Friday morning all but a few of the students left for .their homes for the holidays. Classes will again fie resumed Thursday, Jan. 4, 1912. j

The college was well repre-i sented at the interesting lecture' delivered by Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the north pole discoverer and arctic explorer, at the Ellis Theatre last Monday night. The C. L. S. held their regular meeting Sunday morning. There was no business of importance transacted. After the parliamentary law quiz by E.' P. Honan, Christmas and New’ Year greetings were exchanged, and tlie assembly adjourned till after the holiday vacation.

On Dec. 17 the faculty and students were entertained in the college auditorium By the Junior Literary Society. Their public programs are not frequent, but those given show careful preparation which accounts for their pleasant' and interesting appearance. Besides recitations' Toth serious and humorous, there was a well-presented afterpiece. The College quintette, under the direction of Prof, Havorka, furnished the music for the ev’ening. The Varsity basket ball team has taken its first trip, ami incidentally its first beating. Last Saturday they journeyed to Kankakee for a game with St. Viator college, and before they were able to leave the large floor, the Viatorians had gathered 24 points and the St. Joseph’s lads but an unlucky 13. - But the score does not tell the game. It was well-played and fast concerning the early season. McArdle had shot a basket before the other team realized that the whistle had blown. Another basket and two fouls were obtained by Beckman before the game was five minutes old. During that time Fisher got a field basket and a foul for Kankakee. Ten minutes of’pointless struggle followed with the ball mostly in our possession, but some easy field goals were missed. Then McArdle hurt his ankle. Aftbr play was resumed, by some freak of lost fortune, St. Viator gathered 14 more points before the end of the half.

When the game was continued, the St. Joseph’s boys again got their stride, and held their opponents to a tie score during the last period. The wonderful floor and pass work was the scource of much favorable comment even by the wearers of thj? purple and gold. It was the inaccurate shooting of field goals that lost the game for us, and that department is now being strenuousliy developed by Coach Meyers. Xo doubt he will succeed in this as he has had success in perfecting the other work of the team ; then we will have a splendid and well-working basket ball machine. - rT — ;

MERRY LAY

Of One-Hoss Shay That Burned in a Poetic Way. . At last that wonderful - onehoss that was built in such a logical way that it ran a hundred years, to a day, as Oliver Wendell Holmes would say, has been outmatched up Hartford way; for the Hartford vehicle, it appears, has lasted all of 200 years—which fact, when everything's said and done, has beaten the Deacon’s cart two to one. And today this chaise, which couldn’t be broke, got caught in a fire and went up in smoke. Which shows how the world has gone ahead, since the day that Oliver Wendell said: “Little of all we value here Wakes on the morn of its hundredth year In fact, there’s nothing that keeps its youth, So far as I know ,but a tree and truth. (This a moral that runs at large; Take it; you’re welcome—no extra charge).”

Just who did build the Hartford shay, no one now living up here can say, but it wasn’t the Deacon of Holmes’s lay. ’Twas • known all over the countrywide as William Luby's particular pride, which Governor Trumbull used to ride; and that, as every boy will kpow, was full 200 years ago. And later on, after Congress it carried the figure of Lafayette. It appeared to be built in the self-same wav that the Deacon constructed his one-hoss shay. “So .the Deacon inquired of the village folk Where he could find the strongest oak, That couldn’t be split (nor bent, nor brokg ■ That was for spokes and floors ■ and sills; He sent for lancewood to make the thills; The crossbars were ash from the straightest trees; The panels of white wood . that cuts like cheese, But lasts like iron for things like these, ■ ~ • Throughbrace bison-skin, thick and wide; Boot top, dasher from tough old hide Found in the pit when the tanner died, That was the way he ‘put her through,’ ‘There!’ said the" Deacon “e’naow she’ll dpw!” And so she did, and so did the shay that was licked to death by the flames today. For Trumbull appeared’in the records when the date was written as seventeen—ten. William Luby called this a “chaise” qnd wheeled her out on the festal days, just to let all Hartford gaze;.and after the.noise and shouts and fun he would wheel her back to Kensington; ■he wouldn’t have sold it for Lord knows what—remarkable thing in Connecticut. And William Luby, he always thought this chaise was made as chaises ought, and that like the one that the Deacon rode. nPthe self-same way this would soon explode. So no one wanders that Luby’s ire is aroused at the freak of the frightful fire. “End of the wonderful one-hoss shay, Logic is logic—that’s all I say.” —Hartford (Conn.) Cor. Nexy York Tieraid.
