Immunity to Hog Cholera Lasting.
A series of recent experiment#
on duration of immunity to hog
cholera following simultaneous
' inoculation of young pigH sup
ports the conclusion that the
protection is lasting. The in
veatigations were conducted at
Ames, lowa, by specialists of
' the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Altogether 171 pigs, inocu
lated when a week to six weeks
old shd exposed to hog cholera,
at tftaes varying from 0 months
to 9 months and 20 days later,
were found without exception
to be immune to that diseaso.
' Three of the pigs, however,
died during the period of ex
posure from causes other than
hog cholera.
There was no apparent ill
effect from the simultaneous in
oculation in any of the pigs.
There was no difference in the
immunity of pigs from immune
and non-immune sows.
Pigs that were approximately
one week old received 10 cubic
oentimetem of . anti hog hog
cholera serum and i c. c. of
virtu. Pigs that were three
weeks old or more received from
16 to SO c. c. of serum and from
i to } s. c. of virus.
Immunity was tested .by in
jecting So, c. of virus into the
animal? when they had attained
weight* exceeding, in many
cases,' 800 pounds. None of the
hogs contracted cholera. The
experiments appear to disprove
amnions by some observers
that simultaneous inoculation of
young pigs is not lasting and
that immunity disappears at
stages of growth variously
placed from weaning time up to
fBO or 60 pounds in weight.

Young James Devera, of Chi

men, for whose national existence

lessly whenever this mother de

Officials, in the absence of legal
provisions regarding the removal
of bodies, were bribed to release
the bones of the youth who had

Social Workers'
Summer School.
ONLY ONE OF KIND IN SOUTH.
►
Twelve Weeks' Course for Training
in all Kinds of Spdal
Activities.
Cor. ot
Chapel Hill, N. C., Feb. 24.-~i
The southern division of the
American Bed Cross and the Uni
versity of North Carolina have
pooled interests and equipment
and will establish at the 192(1
summer school at Chapel Hill a
school of public welfare offerings
It-weeks' course for social work
ers of every kind and a special
6-weeks' training course for North
Carolina county superintendents
of public welfare.
Btaff specialists of the -Red'
Croee, who have been training
workers during the war, will be
sent to the summer school where
they will co-operate with N. W.
Walker, Director, and members
of the University faculty, aud be
tween them the courses In the
new school will be Arranged.
Three specialists will be at.Chapel
Hill for the full time, a survey
director aud b'is assistants will
come for part of the time, and
special lecturers of national ex
perience and reputation will come
from time to time.
"It will be the only school of
its kind in the South," said Presi
dent Chase, in making the an
nouncement, "and it marks an
important .«tep in university de
velopment. The rising tide of
social consciousuess which has
been sweeping over North Caro
lina aud the South have brought
our people face to face with new
problems and new conditions. The
demand for trained Social workers
is more insistent in this State than
ever before, and the University,
with the co-operation and assist
ance of the Red Cross, is making
this effort to supply the need."
The school this summer will
serve two classes of persons. The
full course of 10 weeks plus 2
weeks of field service will i e for
social workers of every kind, com
munity workers, playground direc
tors, workers in schools, in indus
trial plants, in Red Cross home
services, in Y. W. C. A's. In
struction will be the class room
method aud also by special
methods in case work and in sur
veys.
In additiou to these general
courses a (i-weeks' training course
for the county superintendents of
public welfare is being planued.
Recent social leglslatiou in North
Carolina lias developed a large
group of social workers without
previous training or experience,
This group the University is try
ing to meet with this course.
Special systems of instruction are
being arranged by the officials of
the Red Cross and of the Uni
versity aud it is their declared in
tention to Jay before the county
super{ntendents the best experi
ence that can be found.
Aiding and supplementing both
of these couises will be the second
annual State and County Council
which will be held again in Chapel
Hill during the summer. It is
expected that this conference will
attract a large number of social
workers of national reputation.

HOW TO REACH RHEUMATISM
THROUGH THE BLOOD
Powerful Iron in liquid form makes rich,
red blood and drives uric acid out
of the system forever.
It is now generally known that
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is formed in the blood and de

capillaries and nerves in different,

of getting this great essential into
