Injured in Auto Wreck
Another instance of the futility of
attempting to mix the common
brands of hootch and gasoline was
demonstrated at a very great cost on
last Monday evening when John De
Ford, who was beastly drunk, ran
the automobile which he was driving
directly into the one which was driv
en by John Chriswisser, to the great
injury of both.
Mr. Chriswisser was thrown thru
the windshield, cutting his face and
body very badly. He was taken to
his home in Union, where medical
and surgical attention was given. The
other man, who was still quite drunk,
was taken to his home in Nebraska
City. The bootlegger may be making
some money by vending this sort of
poison, but it is costing the public
and many individuals much in money
and suffering. Still the condition is
allowed to exist, because some who
call themselves citizens wink at the
violation of the law.

PIGS REQUIRE SPECIAL FEED
Des Moines, Ia. Many farmers are
sustaining losses among their pigs be
cause of failure to pay attention to
mineral feeding, the Iowa Homestead
says.
"At the close of the winter season
and before pasture is available fall
pigs are often suffering from mineral
deficiency in their bodies because of
having been fed for several months
on rations poorly balanced.
"Lack of minerals in the feed does
not show itself in pigs until they are
several months old. In the first place,
so long as a pig nurses, it receives an
abundance of mineral matter and its
bone3 develop normally. After wean
ing, in seasons when pasture is not
available, unless a mineral mixture is
supplied the pig bones gradually
weaken and this condition shows it
self in stiffness or so-called rheumatism."
