veterinarian, will go to Springfield to
inspect two carloads OF milch COWS
with calves which came from the west,
presumably from Chicago, by way OF
Detroit, which is under quarantine, to
Cincinnati and thence to Springfield.
II is not known that they are infected,
but there is danger because they were
in the infected stockyards of Detroit,
and DR.. Fischer will carry with him
authority from the federal government
either to kill or quarantine the cattle
as he may deem best. While he is in
Springfield his assistant, DR.. Morgan
ID. Lamb, will be on his way to Rich

board of agriculture was notified the
latter part of last week OF the pres
ence in the Cincinnati stockyards OF
the two carloads OF COWS and calves
from Detroit, He advised that they be
not unioaded. Then he communicated
the facts TO the federal department.

Of Campaign.

New York, Dec, THE Charity Or.
ganizations society began on Monday
night its campaign of education In

with a mammoth exhibition at the
Museum OF Natural History. The ex.
hibition, TO which $4,000 feet Of fiooi

foreign countries. is but part of the
present campaign. Advertising and
educational posters regarding the ex

been placed by hundreds of thousands
through Greater New York and more

Some objection has been made tc
the realistic character of many OF the
figures and tenement room reproduc
tions at the museum and 10 the Illus
trative paintings But those in charge
explain that experience has shown ths
necessity of viyidly impressing the
seriousness OF the disease agains
which they are fighting.
