Foot and Mouth Disease.

In recent treatment of foot and
mouth disease in France some good re-
suits were had with outside use Of
sulphate of iron. 1t was found that
the spread Of the disease could be
more effectively checked by this treat
ment than by any other method. The
affected animals were sprayed with a
20 per cent solution of sulphate Of
iron. The mouth was washed with
10 per cent solution of the same chem
cial, and in acute cases per cent
solution was administered internally
to the amount Of ~ pints per day fOr
adult animals and half that quantity
of a 2 per cent solution for calves
Complete recovery was brought about
and the disease was prevented from

HISTORIC ALAMO IN DANGER.
Place Where Travis and His Little
Band Made Their Famous Stand.

flace Where Travis and His Little
Band Made Their Famous Stand.
The old Alamo in Texas is in peril.
The historic monastery fortress, dear
to hearts of all Texans, around which
so many tragic and romantic tradi-
tions, true and fanciful, are woven, is
doomed the victim Of an iconoclastic
commercialism.
An association of eastern capitalists
are planning the purchase Of that part
of the building not at present owned
by the State and the incosing of the
grounds around the old mission. 1t Is
not known for just what purpose the
place will be used, but it is pretty well
understood the main object will be the
advertisement of some commercial
scheme.
The plan leaked out few days ago
and Immediately the Daughters of the
Republic of Texas banded together to
save the old relic. and issued an ap-
peal for financial aid
OF all the many places in San An
tonic that are Of historic interest, the
Alamo Is the most important. Here
1t was that Col w. B. Travis and his
little band Of 172 men held out against
the relentless Santa Ana and his army
of $500 men for II days and the fight
was only terminated when the entire
Texas force was strewn about the old
fortress, each man with Mexican
dagger through his heart.
The Alamo ruins stand right in the
center Of the town at one corner Of the
military plaza. The mission was or
iginally built by the Franciscan monks
in 171S, and it became military garri-
son in 1888. At this time the name
Alamo was first attached to it. Col.
Travis and his men took refuge in the
place during the war for Texan inde-
pendence, and on Feb. %, 1885, the
Mexican force surrounded them and
began to lombard, the old mission.
The Texan heroes managed to hold
the Alamo until March 6, when 1t was

Figures Show Growth in Exports to
China and to India.
Recent developments with reference
to additional facilities for trade with
China lend interest to some figures
showing the growth Of our commerce
with that country, presented by the
Department of Commerce and Labor
through its bureau of statistics. EX-
ports to China in the fiscal year 1903
aggregate about $19,OOO,OOO, against
less than 100000 in 1893. The to-
tai value of our exports to China in
1908 exceed those Of any earlier year
except 1902, when they were above
the normal by reason Of the light ex-

Effect of Cutting Clover.

1t Is found that red clover produces

clover is most permanent, and the al
termath is better when the crop Is cu'

machine is employed. This result na'
been ascribed to the cut surface mace
by the scythe being somewhat obllque
and SO running Off the rain, where's
the cut Of the machine is perfecu!

AwEuL WESTERN FLOODS.

The awful destruction of life and
property at Topeka. Kansas City and
other Western towns by unprecedented
floods is a calamity which moves oil
our people, but it was beyond human
foresight to give warning, and beyon I
human power to stay its awful destruc-
tion. According to the latest reports,
about 200 lives have been lost In To-
pelSa alone, and the casualties in Kan
sas City and elsewhere cannot be ac.
curately estimated at the present time
The big sluggish Missouri. that nor
mally moves leisurely along over its
mud-fats, has suddenly spread over a
vast area, leaving its banks far be-
hind, and inundating sections that have
never been known to be under water
before. The rise was so in excess OF
anything anticipated that proper pre-
cautions could not be taken. The dam
age TO property is immense. and the
raging current made It difficult for
boats to reach those who had climbed
TO the tops Of houses to avoid watery
grave.
TO add to the horror. fires broke out
In various districts. In certain IN
stances buildings on FIRE were swept
from their foundations and went sail
ing down stream like moving torches,
setting fire to everything that came In
their path. The combination Of fire
and flood has done its worst, and re-
ports from Topeka say that the waters
are subsiding. But in the wake OF the
disaster will follow weeks when thou

food, save that which is furnished by
charity Many OF the missing win

epidemics will break out when the
floods subside. Eleven days Of continu-

Rank Justice.
From The Sussex Journal.

From the Sussex Journal.
The Addicks majority Of the Depart
ment of Elections OF Wilmington last
Tuesday refused to allow the Citizens
Republican ticket a place on the offi-
cial ballot. This was rank injustice,
unwarranted and illegal but It is just
what might be expected from the gang
Of muzzlers whom Addicks controls. It
is merely an indication OF what Ad-
dicks and his hoodlums would do on a
larger scale. should he ever be given
the opportunity. Some years ago the
Democrats filed the Single Tax ticket
when there were more technical rea-
sons for not doing so than in this case.
The three Addicks members Of the De-
partment Of Elections not only refused
TO nut the Citizens Republican ticket
on the official ballot but they did SO
against the legal advice of their attor-
lney. This goes to show that law oi
precedent does not bother an Addick'
body or set of henchmen when they
have the members. But these cases o.
ignoring law and decency will sooI
come back to haunt those who dare e
do such things.

OBEDIENCE TO LAW.

In an instructive and interesting
sermon which he preached yesterday,
Or. McCurdy had much that was perth
nent to say on the citizens duty to
obey the law. said he:
Obedience is our law of life, and
we should stend by IL: it is our
service and we should render it;
IL is our privilege. and we should
enjoy IT, Obedience TO the author
ity of the Lord Jesus by members
OF the Church, and by honest
hearted citizens would rescue our
State from its corruption, and our
Nation from its anarchy and
heathenism.
The idea In general Is sound, and de-
serves to be impressed, yet the time
may come when laws will be made that
outrage our sentiments Of right and
which we believe subvert our liberties.
We do not live under the theories which
obtained in monarchial countries o
hundred years ago, when perfect obedi-
ence was demanded on the theory that
government was derived direct from
God. and that the King could do nc
wrong. We make our own laws by elect
ing men pledged TO certain measures
and when they fail to do our bidding
we send others who are more obedien'
to us. At least this is our theory anC
II it is not followed in practice, ther
we must feel that the spirit Of our in
stitutions has been violated.
But we must obey many a law wher
we have no respect for it-when it Il

and our conscience. If we respect
