should be lost in the destruction of
the foetus and membranes. These
should be burned or if that is not
possible they should be buried so
deeply that dogs cannot get to them.
The retention of the afterbirth is
common after abortion and this must
be removed by hand at once. The
womb should be disinfected with
two percent solution of creolin, and
the stall or premises where the abor
ton took place should he disinfected
with a five percent solution of car
bolic acid. The infected animal
should be isolated and it must be
remembered that man can also spre ad
the disease and the attendant should
use care so as to avoid carrying the
germs on his person.
No half way measures will do in
handling this disease, but as rule
the methods Of disinfecting can be
applied by any intelligent man having
had experience in handling live stock.
The following points cover the treat
ment entirely, and if carried out will
check the disease:
l. Destruction of the foetus and the
afterbirth of animals having aborted.
2. Distinction and isolation of
such animals.
3. Distinction of stables and
premises.
4. Distinction of animals having
been exposed to infection.

With all the writing and lecturing
that has been done on this dreaded
disease of cattle, there seems to be a
great deal of it present in the herds
in all parts of the country. Many
breeders in the Puget Sound region
are complaining of not being able to
get rid of the disease and think that
the climatic conditions may have
something to do with this difficu lty.
So far as the writer has been able to
determine, however, the climatic con-
ditions have little if any effect, un-
less, as will be mentioned later the
feed given will cause the disease.
The disease prevails in all parts of
the country as much if not more than
on the Pacific Coast.
For those who are not familiar with
the term "abortion," let it be ex-
planned as the expulsion of the foetus
unborn calf before the full period
of normal pregnancy. 1t is commonly
spoken of as slipping the calf and
it may occur after having carried the
embryo any length Of time from a
month or two, to as long as eight
months. When the calf is carried
seven months or more it usually lives
and is then spoken Of as immature
birth" rather than abortion.
Abortion is termed as contagious
or non contagious. The latter occur
ing as the result of fall, kick or
some other injury to the COW when
she is we'll along in the period OF
pregnancy. Mouldy feed, ergot OF
rye and smutty corn causing improper
digestion or a sudden change in feed
may also cause the contagious
form of abortion. There are no pre-
liminary symptoms and the first in
dication that something is wrong

to prevent re-infection, including
sanitary care.
AS preventative where there is
a danger of having the disease, a two
per cent solution Of carbolic acid in
dose of % to 80 &C is recommended as
a hypodermic injection. 1t should
be given as often as every two weeks,
beginning about the fourth month of
pregnancy. There are preparations
on the market advertised and sold as
serum, for the prevention of abortion,
but upon examination these have
been found to be not serum at all
but weak solution of carbolic acid.
No anti abortiens serum has ever
been produced and anything selling

ABORTION

comes in the shape of a report that a
certain COW has slipped her calf. No
previous springing of the udder or
vaginal discharge occurs as a sign by
! which we may anticipate the coming
abortion.
Where the disease is caused by the
| feed number of COWS will abort
within a comparatively short period
of time and when a change of feed is
made the disease will disappear. 1t
| is probable that where a prolonged
rainy season prevents the thorough
curing of the hay as is common in
the Puget Sound region, abortion
which is thought to be contagious
! is only this contagious form
brought about by the mouldy feed.
Contagious abortion is the kind
that causes the most loss to the stock
man. 1t is introduced into a herd
slowly but surely, and after it once
has a foothold it is very difficult to
get under control. 1t is brought
about by the presence OF living germs
in the genital organs Of the COW.
That it is contagious is shown by the
spread through a herd from an in
fected animal that has been brought
in, and by experimental innocula-
ton. The foetus is usually expelled
between the fifth and seventh months
and as a rule no disturbance OF the
animals health occurs. In most cases
the usual signs of parturition appear,
such as the enlargement of the vulva
and the udder. The springing how
ever is never of the same degree OF
intensity as when it occurs under
normal conditions, unless the abor-
ton takes place during the last stages
of pregnancy. From the vulva issues
purulent discharge and usually
within three to six days after the APP
pearance of those signs the expulsion
takes place.
How now shall we keep the disease
from our stables and herd? This can
be simply answered by saying keep
away infected animals. In order to
accomplish this one should make sure
that in buying new stock it shall not
come from an infected herd. An
animal coming from such a herd
must be regarded as infected and
should not be allowed to come in con-
tact with healthy animal. In buy
ing cattle of uncertain origin care
should be taken that no animal is in
troduced that shows a trace Of vaginal
discharge. Before introducing a
strange bull into the herd it will be
safest to subject him to a thorough
disinfection. The bull being prob
ably the most important means OF
scattering the infection. Owners OF
non-infected herds should be cautious
that their bulls be not used to serve
infected cattle, while those who do
not own a bull should also be prudent
when patronizing bulls that are kept
for public use.

Dr. Sidis, Whose Son is in Harvard at B, Asserts Un- Ieashed Curiosity Will Educate Child

Boston, Mass, June 26.-How 70 raise a race of child prodigies ready for college at eleven is explained by Professor Boris Sidis, of Harvard Col fege, in an essay he has just written. Professor Sidis' son, now thirteen, has just completed his second year at Harvard.
 "As long as the home is dominated by commercial ideals, the school will turn out mediocre tradesmen," says the children of ten and eleven can hardly read and write, are little brutes and waste away their precious life in the close, dusty, overloaded rooms of the early grades of some elementary school.
 There is period in the child's life, between the ages of five and ten, when he is very inquisitive. Every thing should be open to the child's searching interest. The spirit of in- quiry, the genius of man is more sac- red than any abstract belief, dogma and creed. I appeal to you, fathers and mothers, and to you, liberal minded readers, asking you to turn your attention to the education of your children. to the training of the young generation of future citizens. I do not appeal to our official educa-
  shops, for they are beyond all hope.
 The present school system squan- ders the resources of the country and wastes the energies and the lives of our children. The school system should be abolished and with it should go the present psychologizing educator, the schoolmaster and the school 'marm-
 Being in a barbaric stage, we are afraid of thought.

 ''It may interest you to learn of one of those boys who were brought up in the love and enjoyment of knowledge for it's own sake.

RELUCTANT BRIDE WEDS
 zEROUNIAN
Miss ROsey JeluaniO is Willing, But Custom of Orient Re-
 quireS Resistance

Saturday at 6 o'clock there occurred
 in Bridgeport a very interesting we'd ding in which all of the oriental cus- toms, possible in the city of Bridge port, were recognized The groom was Henry M. zerounian, the we'll known dealer in oriental rugs, and Miss Rosey Jeluaino was the bride. MT. Joseph Salih acted as best man, and Miss Mary Marieny as bridesmaid Prom inent also in the occasion were Dr. Robert Avakian of New York, and MT. George Mobay, the latter adding the most distinctive oriental touch by ap- bearing in complete oriental garb and furnishing music throughout the evening on a peculiar oriental instru- ment in a general way resembling mandolin. The ceremony was per formed by Rev. J. McLaren Richard son and there were present, as guests of honor, Mrs Richardson, Judge and Mrs. Edward Nicholson, Mrs. F. N. Benham, Miss Bradford, Mir and Mrs. D. Fairchild Wheeler, Mrs. Dore, and the daughters of MT and Mrs Wheel CT, MT. and Mrs. W. Seymour Lacy. These guests sat at the brides table for the most interesting and splendid oriental dinner
 According to the oriental custom the bride awaited the groom in a neigh boring house and the ladies of the party, above mentioned, with the bridegroom and his best man, went to this house to secure the bride. The lady charged with her protection was very loathe to give her consent and the bride herself is expected to show much reluctance, but after some time all yield to the desires of the groom, expressed by the best man, and after half hour of oriental music and danc- ing the party proceeded to the home. next door, prepared by the groom for his bride, where the ceremony took place. The groom's home was beau tifully decorated throughout, including fine oriental rugs which covered all the stairs and floors. Especially was the oriental dancing interesting and was entered into by some of the ladies and men, and also the little children, but one at a time. The dancing in cluded representations of sword play and the famous knife dance. most of which were very beautiful, and none more so than the graceful dances per- formed by the little children.
 The wedding supper was elaborate. course after course, and as most of the dishes were oriental no one from the occident could describe the dishes without help. While most of them were unique, all of them Were very delicate even to the occidental taste.
 The bride and groom leave today for their wedding trip, after which they will reside at 1908 Hancock avenue.

Special from United Press.l

Washington, June 26tThe famous Cunningham-G -Guggenheim coal claims in Alaska, variously estimated to be worth from one hundred million to one billion dollars, were today ordered can- celled by Commissioner Dennet, of the General Land Office, with the ap- proval of Secretary of the Interior Fisher.
 By this decision, it is declared that the alleged effort of the Morgan-Gug- genheim syndicate to grab Alaska" is frustrated for the present time, so far as the coal deposits are concerned.
 These lands of fabulous value, which caused the Ballinger-Pinchot feud, splitting the Taft administration into bitter factions and resulting in the dis missal by Taft of Chief Forester Gif- ford Pinchot, Field Agent Glavis, and several others, will be restored to the public domain and later will be opened for re-entry.
 The Pinc41ot adherents, in the con- servation fight, look upon it as a great victory for them, as they fought Rich ard A. Ba1linger to the end of this issue until after Ballinger's resigna- ton. The President named as his successor as Secretary of the Interior Walter L.. Fisher, of Chicago. Fisher is vice president of Pinchot's National Conservation Association and con- servatfonist of the Pinchot school.
 Attorneys for Clarence Cunningham and his associates announced that they would appeal, and they expect to carry the case to the Supreme Court of the United States In the decision, the government finds:
 That the several locations, filings and entries were made pursuant to an understanding and agreement entered into by all the claimants prior to To- cation, to combine the several claims, for the joint use and benefit of all the claimants
