DANGER FROM ANTHRAX
Morocco Workers Take Chances
When Sorting Skins.
Cables From Europe Say Many
Workers Have Died From
the Disease.

Gables from Europe that many morocco
workers have died recently as victims
Of the terrible anthrax, or wool-sorters'
disease, will doubtless frighten many
men working in the local morocco fac
tories, as the American and foreign fac
tories use almost the same class of skins.
There is no encouragement for mo-
rocco workers in the statement Of an emf
Nncnt specialist, who has attended several
Eof the cases in Germany, and who says
that there is no help 4or q man stricken
with the disease; that the best thing
morocco workers can do il to quit thu.
business.
Anthrax is a malignant, infectious car
buncle, caused by the presence in the
blood of n germ known as bacillus an
thraciS. This creature has seven legs.
1t mnltiplies mt such a rapid rate that
the victim of the disease usually dies two
days after he is taken sick.
Physicians declare that anthrax is
really Il disease of sheep and goats. hut
human beings catch it if they handle
the skins of animals that died from thu
malady. Morocco workers know of this
danger, and are strongly advised by their
employers not to handle SKINS if they
have abrasions on their fingers, or Its
in their palms.
Most of the goatskins used in America
are imported from European cities. The
goats run in the streets of Barcelona, and
almost every town in Southern Europe.
for that matter. The skins are merely
4 hy-prodnct. as the inhabitants there
eat the flesh of the goat and drink the
,nimals milk. Most of the owners of
tn" goats are so poor that it is virtually.
impossible to prevent the sale of skins
taken from goats killed by anthrax.
Consequently. morocco workers must tax.
chances literally take their lives ip
their hands-when they sort skins.
