scented verbal protest against the further

two women by the aid association. No
action was taken on the protest because it
was not in writing.

SAG ANTONIO, Jan. IA new
and fatal disease is raging among the
cattle on the Texas coast. 1t is called
liver flnke, from the fact than cit ex-
animation of the liver after the death
of the animal exposes that important
organ to be almost literally eaten up
by a parasite abont three-fourtbs Of
an inch long and resembling in shape
that part of a ships anchor. Scientists
account for the presence of the para
site in the liver on the hypothesis
that it is taken into the stomach in
decaying vegetation, and the reason
the little anlmalcules are playing such
sad havoc among the cattle is the ex,
treme welness of last season, winch
rotted so much of the forage on the
coast. 1t is estimated that the ranch
men along the coast lost 9 per cent.
of their cattle during the season. DR..

state, nor is there any fear of the
disease being communicated by the
expectation of Texas cattle affected
by it. Salt has been discovered TO be
preventive but not cure.
