A New sheen Disease

The officials of the Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry have new field of ac-
tivity through the announcement of
new disease discovered among the
sheep of Wyoming known as the lip
and leg disease. The complaint is
known among scientists a> necrobacil-
losis, but with the advent of the all
ment IN Wyoming 1t was nicknamed
lip and leg disease, because of the
parts Of the animal affected. It has
no relation with the hoof and mouth
disease which ragged In a number of
the Eastern States during the past
year. Officials of the Department OF
Agriculture say they are at loss to
know how the disease became so wide
spread in Wyoming, as so far as
known 1t was not brought nere from
any other country. 1t is probable,
they explain, that single animal
came into contact with other cattle in
transportation, and that the others be-
came infected in the cars where slight
scratches Of the skin are almost I'M
avoidable.
BY Secretary Wilson's orders eight
counties of Wyoming have been placed
under stringent quarantine, which ef-
fective1y shuts off trade in cattle from
the infected counties. The counties
under the ban lie in the section where
most Of the Wyoming sheep are raised.

precious amiability. They know the
secret OF the ready smile. Even the

and their wooden clogs and their

The Hague keeps UP its village
character by not having yet decided
what it will call itself. Officially it is
known as IS Gravenhage." Literally
this means the counts hedge in al
fusion to the early times, when there
was hunting Enclosure of the counts
of Holland here. At the station, how
ever, and in the time tables the place
is called Den Haag." Rather con.
fusing to the foreigner, but not more
SO than the habit which prevails in the
capital of keeping all unofficial clocks
and watches twenty minutes fast.
When it is noon at the railway sta
ton and in the postoffice, it is 1920
in the streets, shops and hotels. How
ever, one must be thankful that the
local time" as they call it. is not
twenty minutes slow.
The village aspect Of the Dutch
capital was impressed upon me the
other day when l paid a visit to the
burgomaster, or lord mayor | found
the head of the municipality alone,
reading a book 1t was lucky for me
that he had so little demand upon his
time, since it gave me the chance OF
long and interesting chat with a
singularly charming man.. But, nat
urally, | could not help contrasting his
leisured ease with the lives of violent
activity and hurried, never-eeasing
engagements which are the lot OF the
chief magistrates of other capitals.
And then, coming away from the town
hall, l passed funeral. The hearse,
heavily draped with black, was
driven by an odd figure in volumin-
Gus cloak and a seventeenth century
sombrero hat in silk. The village un-
dertaker of course!
Some one has compared The Hague
to Versailles before the French rev.
olution." That is scarcely apt,
think. But as loiter through its
crowded, narrow streets and by the
side of it's sleepy canals; as | rejoice
in the sunlight on it's ripe, red brick
buildings and tiled roofs; as | wander
beneath it's shady alleys and among
it's spacious quiet 'peins" or squares.
| feel stealing over me sense of rest
fitness, an old world quietude, rare,
indeed, in these noisy scurrying times.
The Hague, as BELTS the home of the
famous, though futile conference, is
one of the last haunts of the spirit of
peace.

How Teeth Are Ruined.

A dental surgeon expressed the epin-
ion in the Dundee Advertiser that the
chief cause of the increase of dental
troubles in recent years is that the
bread now generally used is made
from roller ground flour. He writes:
Some years ago I discovered that
there is an increase of about 40 per
cent during mastication in the acidity
of bread produced from roller flour,
whereas there is no such increase
when the bread is composed of stone
made -four. Further, l kept in an
incubator, at the temperature of the
mouth. teeth imbedded in chewed
bread made from roller flour and from
stone-made -four Now, the teeth i'm
bedded in the bread made from old
fashioned stone-made -four decayed
but slowly. whereas those imbedded
in the bread made from modern roller
flour decayed rapidly"
