In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and

Congress Asked TO Make a 81, 000,-
100000 Appropriation.
The Scourge Has Not Visited This
Country For Nearly Twenty Years
and Quick Work S Necessary
to Stamp 1t Out.

Washington, Dec. 10. - Secretary
Wilson made the appeal in a letter
sent to congress Tuesday through the
secretary Of the treasury asking for
an emergency appropriation of $1,000
900 or so much thereof as may be nee
essary to meet the requirements Of
stamping out the foot and mouth dis
ease among cattle.
Secretary Wilson says:
About two weeks ago information
came to the department that the dis
ease existed in Massachusetts, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Connecticut. Co
operation Of the governors of states
and the state boards having control
of contagious diseases of animals has
been secured. The effective method
of eradicating the disease is to arrange
with the local authorities for the de-
struction of infected and exposed ami
mails, which, together with the disin
lection of stables and yards and their
quarantine to prevent further spread,
is now being done. The disinfectiOn
of cars used in transportation of such
animals also is necessary. Arrange
ments have been made and will con-
time to be made with transportation
companies and to have all the cars
which have been used for carrying ami
mails in infected states thoroughly dis
infected. The scOurge has not visited
this country before for nearly 20 years
and quick work is necessary owing to
the rapidity with which the disease
travels. The product of our domestic
animals is over 5000 100000 annually,
and exports of animals and animal pro-
ducts amount to a quarter of a million
dollars each year This scourge costs
continental Europe and Asiatic coun-
tries enormous sums of money annu.
ally. They do not seem to be able to
eradicate it. The British people have
visitations of it occasionally, but
promptly stamp it out. We live in hope
that the application of scientific meth
DDS eventually will clear the country
of all contagious diseases of animals.
While every effort is making to To-
calize the disease in the infected
states, there is danger that the cars
used in carrying the animals to mar
ket may introduce it into other parts
of the country. We are ready to send
an efficient corps of experts at once
TO any locality to deal with any out
break"
