A HOMELY EXPERIENCE ..I came homo from the office the other evening with a friend and a terrible headache. I made up my mind on the way up that 1 would undress and go to bed immediately upon arrival?just after taking a dose of medicine that I knew would cure a headache. 1 promised myself not to eat a bitc^tlll my cranium eased up its pain, possibly 6 meals distant. ..My wife told me that perhaps ray head-pains came from an empty stummick and (hat I should eat some dinner (supper, as the sun had gone down), and she prevailed, as usual. Some of her kinfolHs were visiting us and naturally a nice spread was spread before us. I motioned to my friend to ask thb blessing, but he shook his head, so our baby ;\sked it. . .Knowing that I was under * the I weather, my "help-meat" had prepared me a nice oyster stew. I thought I would show my manners, I and intended to take just 3 spoonfuls and 1 oyster and beg to be excused; hut when I came to myself, I the bowl was empty, pnd my head still ached. The ham (countrypured) was passed and I took a small 1 slice, and some red gravy. ..Other than H^he aforementioned things, I ate only a little cheese sandwich, 2 deviled eggs, and I remember of pinching off a slice of cake, and nibbling awhile on a handftiJL of cheese straws and 4 small stalks of celery. >1 am 'sure that I took only ono piece of egg custard and 3 helpings of whipped cream, sliced bananas and gelatin. , FOUR HOURS LATER Doctor: "Well, old boy?what seems to be wrong?" Me: "DoC,-?it started with a terrible headache and ended in what you see." | Doctor: "What did you eat for dipner (meaning supper)". Me: "I think I drank a small glass of milk." 'She: "And a bowl of oyster soup and some pie." '" I Doctor; "Is that all?" Me: "About." \ Her: "About all except 5 pimentocheese sandwiches and all of my celery." i Doctor: "Well?" I Her: "My company didn't get any dessert at all.'1 I Me: "Oh, my poor head, stummick, chest, gall-bladder, ansoforth." j Her: "O. ,K. Doctor; send it right up and add a box of mustard, a hot water bottle,*3 a thermometer, 3 dozen oranges and some ipecac."

" mm in mmSSm Care Is Urged After Hogs Have Cholera When hog-cholera infection exists on the farm or other promises, hogs should not be brought to such places unless they have been immunized against cholera. v The length of time hog-cholera ill-/ feet ion will remain alive and dangerous following an outbreak of the dUeaso varies greatly. When exposed to sunlight the virus beeonuv* inert in about 3 weeks. When the infection is hidden, the danger persists for a long time. This is likely to occur when such hogs carry the virus to out-of-the-way places, such as under buildings and old straw stacks,% in sheds, inside pens, deep* mu#*holee and other places to which the rays of the sun have no access. Cholera-sick hogs are prone to wander to isolated spots, seeking to hide themselves from the others; In such places where dick animals lie, the body excretions create centers of cholera infection which, unless destroyed by the natural weather elements or through proper cleaning and disinfecting, may l>o transmitted to susceptible hogs brought onto the premises. Numerous instances are known where tenants, when moving away, have left dead cholera hogs unburned or. unburied on the premises. Therefore, the new tenant moving onto a farm should make all possible efforts to ascertain whether hog cholera has recently existed there. He should look carefully over the property to sco that no carcasses of dead animals are lying above ground. Should his investigations reveal t^at'cholera did exist he should have v>hio hogs immunized as soon as possible. Measures of precaution well worth the time and efforts are cleaning and disinfecting sheds, inside pens, and other shelters in which the sun doest> not shine, boarding up runs under buildings, destroying old straw stacks and filling 'up or draining old wallows, according to Henry D. Green, county agent. I^ast year there were 128 accidents in South Carolina attributed officially to drunken drivers of automobiles. Carelessness of pedestrians caused 74 accidents on the highways.
