Instead of being bound in the usual way,
the book is held together by two skeins
of heavy embroidery silk, heavily knot

The cover of the book is of garnet sat

the top.
The first illustration is an example of

tine embargo against freight and had a
very rough experience. At Raine, mob
with shotguns prevented their further
progress, and they were ordered to turn
back, which they did. During their trip
they gathered up twenty-four represent
atives of health boards and held a meet
ing at Cade, at which they fully dis
cussed the situation here and elsewhere,
and adopted resolutions tending to relieve
the congestion of freight. A committee
was appointed to communicate with the
authorities on the lines of the Texas
and Southern Pacific with a view to se-
curing an amelioration of present oppres-

said they thought that the trip would
result in great good.

naturedly. He is surprised at the terror
which is evident in some country districts.

and will await orders before making any
attempt to proceed to Beaumont. The

had been at the detention camp and who
had been taken ill. The apartment house
in which he was found is filled with

these people and to quarantine the prem
