The discovery that the epidemic of the foot and mouth disease of hast fall and winter was caused by germs in imported smallpox vaccine, will be seized upon joyfuliy by our noisy anti vaccinationists as campaign material.
 But though these Crusaders" will present many yards of horrifying in- ferences, the want of logic in their po- sition and the lack of supporting facts must not be forgotten. There Is no instance known to medical science where the foot and mouth disease has been contracted by human kind through vaccination. The malady has produced injurious effects by the drinking of doubt has been expressed by experts whether the ailment can be propagated through injection directly into the blCcG.
 The loss suffered by the farmers, dealers and the government on account of the recent epidemic will total S600,- 900, it is estimated.

There was meeting of the com- mittee on schools Thursday afternoon at the Arcanum club. at which it was decided after some discussion to con- fire the participation of the schools to floats and each school will therefore have float in the parade. There was discussion on what subjects would be taken up in the arranging of the floats and many suggestions were made, but the probabilities are that all will rep resent some historical events, and ten tative plans to this end were talked over, but no final decision was made, as there will probably be many changes.
