DEADLY. DISEASE
IN ISLAND Of GUAM
CAUSING U~NEAslNESs TO MED
lcAL MEN OF THE UNITED
STATES ARMY AND NAVY.
Attacks n Mutilates the Face, in
Many Instances Spreading to the
Limbs-considered More Fright
full Than leprosy, and Large Sum
Asked to Make Fight Upon It.
Special to The Republican.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 5.-The
deadly disease discovered recently in
Guam is giving the medical men of
the United States army and navy
much uneasiness. The malady attacks
and mutilates the face, and in many
instances spreads to the limbs. 1t is
more frightful than leprosy. Although
it has been traced back to 1921, it has
spread and grown more virulent dur
ing the last eight years, or since the
American occupation of the island.
This is due to the failure of the Amer
leans to isolate the victims effectively,
and as the disease is more contagious
than ~leprosy, the spread has been
rapid.
Funds to Fight Epidemic.
The matter has been brought sharp
ly to the attention of the authorities
here by the appeal of Commander
Potts for funds with which to fight the
epidemic. Unless the sum of $4,000 a
year is forthcoming, says the com
mander, he will be compelled to re-
lease not only the victims of this dis
ease, but the lepers as well, for the
colonies cannot be maintained at less
cost. The matter has been taken un.
der advisement, and there is little
doubt but that the necessary money
will be allowed.
To Curb Big Trusts.
1t would not be surprising If on.
gress took up seriously a licensing plan
as a means of curbing the big trusts.
There is little doubt that the trust
question will be discussed at length at
the coming session, and some legisla-
ton along the same general lines as
laid down in the meat inspection and
pure food bills is not unlikely. At the
present time, the packers are not ON.
PEELED to have their goods inspected,
but are simply prohibited from intro
ducing their products in the markets
unless they bear evidence of govern
ment approval. This same theory
might be applied to other corporations,
governing their prices and qualities of
manufactures.

Tale OF 81 oa Timer.

Henry Gregory of Hoehnes. Colo.
"A native MiSsourian. who has been
/ that country for thirty-two years,
p lid his first return visit TO his native
state a few days ago. when he
brought to these yards shipment
of cattle. When Mr.. Gregory went
out to that country. il was a little
woolly. and in places wild. And II
was l55 miles to the nearest railroad
point" said Mr.. Gregory. That
may seem little strange now to
people who live in the states where
railroads are numerous. But in
those days we had 10 haul all the
freight across the mountains and
plains By team. The freighter was
a permanent fixture Of that country
then. We did not raise great deal
of live stock. and most of IL was sold
to the butchers about the mining
camps. and to local markets. such as
there were. But now we are up with
the times. We have all the modern
farm machinery. and other things
that are to be found anywhere. -
