UUML1IES HAVE TOLD MUCH clsntlfle Research Proves That An eient Egyptians Suffered Front "V - Many "Modern" Diseases. While we do not know just what were the seven plsgues of Egypt, we do know thst a good many of the diseases dis-eases of today were present among the Egyptians of Tut-Ankb-Amen's time and earlier. Hardening of the arteries. for example, we have come to blame more or less on the drive and worry of modern life, yet the arteries of mummies mum-mies buried 5.500 years ago show the Bisques and deposits of lime salts typ ical of arteriosclerosis In all Its stages. We owe much of our knowledge of disease among the early Egyptians to the late Sir Marc Buffer, president of the sanitary and quarantine council of Egypt during the last years of his life. By means of special solutions for softening soft-ening and preserving the dried tissues f the mummies, he was able to pre pare thin sections of the various organs or-gans and study them under the micro cope. Owing to the common method of preparing the mummies, which con sisted of the removal "of "most "of the Internal organs through an opening cut In the left flanks and repacking, them after cleaning with sand, or rags or, rarely, myrrh and Incense, diseases of the organs themselves have not been easy to Identify. The organs were re- land hit or miss, as a rule, regsrdless of where they belonged. Thus In one BBmmy Buffer -found "the - kidneys tacked away where the heart belonged, While that organ had crowded out the iver.

Hog Cholera, the "most serious disease of bogs, has again made It appearance In Utah County. ..Two years ago we had the greatest out-tireak out-tireak of cholera the county has ever experienced, but by rigid quarantine measures and careful vaccination of all hogs the disease was soon con trolled. . - - 1 It behooves air owners of swine re gardless of .where they live in the county, or the number of1 hogs lriy own, to hare them Immunised against hog cholera. If they do not, the county may witness similar losses, tc those of 1921. The Extension Service Is anxious to assist in controlling such outbreaks. out-breaks. If people who have sick hogs will call the Agricultural Agent, Pos; Office Building of Provo, he will see that a State or government veterinarian veter-inarian Is sent out at once to invest! gate. On request of the Agricultural Agent, Dr. C. U Jones - Federal Agricultural Agri-cultural Inspector has prepared, the following explanation of Hog Cholera; "Hog cholera is a highly contagious disease caused by a germ of microorganism micro-organism which is present in the blood and secretions of the body. Although Al-though unsanitary surrounding and Im proper feeding tend "to lower the vitality and thus perhsps render animals less able to withstand the disease,, such . conditions cannot . of themselevs cause hog cholera. It cau be produced only by the specific micro-organism of Hog Cholera. The symptoms of hog cholera dif fer In different hogs and in different herds, depending upon tho ttrength of germs and the ability of the hogs1 to withstand the disease. Ai a result of these variations, the disease exists in two former- acute' and chronic-. In the acute form, the hogs die very quickly. In the chronic form, the hogs may be sick for weeks and months before succumbing. Constipation, which Is generally fol lowed hy diarrhea. As the disease reaches Its heights, red or purplish blotches are likely to appear upon the skin of the ears, belly and inner sur face of the legs. The temperfture of hogs is of mnch Importance In diagnosing cholera. When cholera. Is present, the temperature temper-ature ranges from 104 degrees to 107 degrees F. and even higher. The owner should remember that Cholera spreads rapidly through s herd and no time should be last In calling a veterinarian to diagnose the disease and administer proper treat ment The only way to combat hog 'cholera is hy cooperation of all hog owners. strict sanitation, and by Immunization of all hogs." - Odd Turn of Fate. By a strange trick of fate the French are sow cutting down a forest la the Bhlaeland which was planted more than a century ago by their ancestors. When during the Revolution the Rhine provinces ' were occupied by French armies they cut down the timber la the privately owned forest of Hsasruck, Klfei sad Hssrdt which later became a part of the Reich's holdings. The French on taking possession of the left bank of the Rhine found It necessary to replant these devastated areas and Imported large quantities of Norwegian pines and similar trees from Savole and the Pyrenees. Before the World war the Germsns considered cutting down these trees plsnted by the French but the forestry experts advised wetting wett-ing until 1920 when they would be fully matured. According to the. best estimates this delay cost the German empire at least 500,000,000 francs. Department's Good Work. Over 90 per cent of cases Involving the loss of goods la transit, particular-ly particular-ly perishable, for which weather conditions con-ditions may be responsible, are settled set-tled without ever coming Into court, after consultation with the weather bnrean of the United States Department Depart-ment of Agriculture.

' Where "Doughboy" Came From. . The word "doughboy," a slang military mili-tary term applied to a soldier In the United-States army, dates from the Civil war, when the large globular brass buttons wera ised. on .Infantry uniforms. These buttons were called "doughboys", because they were a reminder re-minder of boiled dumplings of raised dough thst are so frequently served in ships' messes, and are known te all sailors as "doughboys."

Your Telephone Can 81 no. Did j ou know It Is possible to play a tuns on an ordinary telephone res eclver? asks Iondon Tlt-BIta, The musical telephone works ta the some way as the usual speaking Instrument. In-strument. When you talk Into a telephone tele-phone your voice moves a little disk ' which alters the power of an electric current, thus moving a duplicate disk at the other end of the line. This second sec-ond disk translates the electric wsve back Into human language. In the musical telephone. Instead of talking Into a mouthpiece, various buttons, are pressed which alter the electric current In the seme wsy that your voice does. This causes the disk In the receiver to move up and down. In this way various notes are pro duced, and If the apparatus can he varied sufficiently, whole tunes stay be played. Experiments have shown that electric elec-tric lights csn be played In the same way. A big arc lamp has been made to play "God 8ave the King."
