CITES THE LUNGS. (?, 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicat?.) Jack walked slowly homeward, with bowed head and knitted brow. Home ! Was It home to which he was going? Could- that bare room in the lodging house be called home? Once he had had a home, cozy and cheerful, with a little wife to make him happy, but they had quarrelled. He hardly, re membered what It was about In bit ter anger they had separated. He had come to the city and had lived his lonely life and had heard no word from Sally since he left It came back to him In vivid recol lection as he walked the street obliv ious of surroundings. Perhaps it was because it WP s just six years today since he left her that he was thinking of the past He had kept the date. Sally was a pretty girl, with laugh ing eyes, bright and witty-saucy some times, changeable and high-spirited; yet loving and tender, always beggiag for pardon after each outbreak, arms clinging about his neck. Jack had loved this fiery young thing whom he had won. To drown his sorrow Jack had plunged into business. He had made money, but it brought bim no happi ness. Once he had gone back, remorse fully, longing for, Sally. The old town looked as it did the morning he'went away. The great elm tree spread Its friend ly branches in front of the cottage, as of yore (Sally loved that tree). Lilacs were In bloom. The house had a friendly air. He almost expected to see Sally open the door and come out with her old bright smile. The door did-open, but lt was not Sally's face that met him. ? man, young and vigorous, paused on the step as he saw Jack confronting him. "Good day, my friend," he accosted. "What can I do for you?" Jack stared. "Is - does - where's Sally?" he jerked. . "Sally?" laughed the man. "Who's Sally?" "Sally-she lived here," stammered Jack. "I don't know anyone by that name," returned the man. "No one by that ,name lives here." Jack stared, bewildered, but soon re covered himself. Of course the man would not know her by her first name : "Mrs. Mason," he explained. "Is she at home?" "Oh, Mrs. Mason," the stranger an swered. "She left two years ago. We bought the house of her. She .needed money, I believe; was in a tight place and had to give it up to raise funds." Jack gasped^ "Gone I Where did she go?" ' "Sorry I can't inform' you," an swered the man. "She left town." Jack turned In a daze and stumbled into tlie street. All the sunshine had gone out of life. Sally gone! It was a drizzling storm, but what did It matter to the man dragging him self to his'lodgings? He reached, the crossing. Vehicles obstructed the pas sage, and he waited. Many others waited, too. Among them was a little child, who f enred Jto cross. She looked timidly at the heavy teams and the slush in the street, then carefully scanned the faces of those about her. With a look of relief and a smile ou her baby faee, she crowded her way to Jack's side} placing her tiny hand in his. "Please, sir, take me across," she lisped, her blue eyes looking into his with a child's confidence. ' The touch of the little hand thrilled him. He answered, took her In his arms, and carried her across the street "Thank you, slr," she beamed, as he landed her on the sidewalk. ' "Tell me where you live and I will take you home," he said, a new Inter est awakening in his heart She led him down a side street, chat ting all the way. "Have you a baby girl?" she asked. "My mamma's got me, but she cries all the time, and when I say ray pray ers I pray for daddy to come home." She stopped before a tenement house. "Here it Is," she cried, as she sprang Into her mother's arms. "Roxy, It's so late!" cried the wom an. "1 was afraid you were lost" She torned to thank the stranger for bringing her child home, but started with a cry. . Jack started, too. "Sally !" * he gasped. "Jacki" she cried, drawing away. "To think that -I should find you thus. Iou have suffered." "Let that pass. Why have you come?" "The baby brought me-this child v.ho is she?" ".She's ours, Jack-our baby. She was born six months after you went away." "Our baby, and 1 never knew!" "How could you? I came to the city to get work-Jack, I've missed you ?or?. "Sally, Tve wanted you more than 1 can tell-1 want you now. Can't we begin again? I love you. Can you for give the past?" "Forgive you?" she moaned. "It was my fault Can you forgive me? Oh, Jack, I've longed for you so !" "Forgive you, dearest? 1 have noth ing to forgive. We did not understand, that waB all. We did not know how to take our love. It needed these year* of sorrow to teach us. We will begin tgaln." They vere looking into each other's ayes, where the lovelight shone. "Kiss me, Jack," sae murmured.

(Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Unless early action is taken to ding nose the cases and apply proper treat ment , when disease appears In your swine herds, losses are inevitable. The chances are many that'the trouble is cholera, and under such circumstances delay is dangerous, for when that dis ease has spread and progressed in the herd the loss of many hogs may be expected. Early attention In an outbreak of hog cholera is essential for the suc cessful treatment of the herd. It has been told repeatedly that anti-ho^-chol era serum is not a cure; Its use is primarily Intended as a preventive agent against cholera, and as such lt ls universally recognized as the only reliable treatment While the serum seemingly bas had some favorable ef fect when administered to sick hogs In the very early stage of the disease, swine owners should not depend upxra the product to save any number of animals after they have developed visible symptoms of hog cholera. In Farmers' Bulletin 834 (revised) attention is called to the fact that the serum Is most efficacious when admin istered as a preventive. "While the serum Is- regarded as most efficacious when administered as a preventive," the bulletin points out, "it seems to have some curative value, provided it is administered when hogs are In the very early stages of the disease. But very little benefit can be expected from the treatment of hogs that are visibly sick." "Serum should be used with the un derstanding that It is a preventive rather than a curative agent" "It has been stated that serum alone has some value in treating sick hogs. This is true within a certain limitation. Ordi narily it Is efficacious only in the very early stage of tho disease, before the hogs show visible signs of sickness." In a bulletin issued recently by Dr. R. G. Reed, chief of animal industry, Cleaning Up the Hoghouse. Maryland state board of agriculture, appears the following: "An analysis of the data obtained from sick herds, vaccinated in Maryland durlug 1919, shows that over one-fifth of the swine had died or were too sick to treat be fore the herds were Immunized." In . formation from other states where control work has. recently been con ducted points to a similar luck of prompt attention in reporting out breaks of hog cholera. Much of the criticism and unfavorable comment against anti-hog-cholera serum are due to tlie fact that farmers delay the use of the product for too long a period after cholera has reached the herd. When many of the animals show symptoms of the disease and the tem? perature reveals a high fever, it is not reasonable to suppose that serum will do much toward limiting losses. Therefore, the warning Is again given to treat the animals at the very first sign of cholera In the herd. Or better still, if there are reasons to suspect that the hogs have been or are exposed to infection, they should be Immunized before they have fallen victims. In sections where there are no known outbreaks of cholera there does not seem to be any* need for the use of an expensive treatment, but when the disease makes its appearance In the vicinity no time should be lost In having all susceptible hogs gl?en the serum treatment. Reports indicate that farmers and swine owners ?re remiss in guarding against, the introduction of infection, and are generally inclined to expect too much of anti-hog-cholera serum as a curative agent.
