TERRIBLE SUFFERING OF SOLDIERS
ottomans Fight for Bread as Well as

May Meet With Success.

LOndon-Interest in the war situa-
ton has shifted from the belligerents
whose delegates are preparing to meet
with an apparent sincere desire to
work out terms for truce to the
great neighboring powers, Austria and
Russia
These titanic rivals are strengthen
ing their border forces at an hour
when the statesmen of all the powers
are spreading broadcast assurances
that their only policy is to subordi-
nate rivalries to the common welfare
of Europe in the cause of peace.
No threatened factor in the situa-
ton is known which has not existed
since the beginning of the war, un-
less it is the near approach of the
Servian army to the Adriatic and the
steps toward mobilization may mean
nothing more than mutual distrust.
When the crisis over Bosnia and
Herzegovina arose, both Russia and
Austria came nearer to war footing
than they seem to be now; yet the
war cloud drifted away.

CAUSE OF DISEASE AMONG HOGS.

Crowley.-As a result of the epi-
demic that has been killing hogs in
ind about Crowley and Acadia parish
In alarming numbers within the past
two weeks, the Acadia parish board
of health held meeting Saturday for
the purpose of investigating. The fol-
lowing regulations were made:
Butchers must purchase no more
hogs from an infected herd or pen.
Those butchering outside of a
slaughter house will be liable to pros
ecution.
All meat hooks in slaughter houses
must be. kept washed and clean.
Dogs must be. kept outside OF
houses at times
Butchers will not be permitted to
butcher hogs having been contami-
mated by infected hogs for a period
OF three days.
Board of health recommends that
no more hogs be slaughtered in Aca-
| dia parish for period of ten days.
In speaking of the disease DR.. Webb
| made the following statement:
"We have not been able to ascer-
tain the nature of the disease that is
so rapidly killing off the hogs in the
parish. Although it would appear to
be cholera at first glance, an exami'
nation of every carcass that l have
made thus far has shown the lungs
| to have been black and decayed
which looks to me like tuberculosis OF
diphtheria, although the disease kills
the hogs too quickly for it to be tuber
culosis Most of my hogs died within
a week after having been stricken
but some of them fingered for three
weeks. But one got we'll.
81 feel free to state that | believe
that the disease. has originated from
and has been carried by buzzards, il
my estimation. There has never beer
as many buzzards in this parish fol
years as have seen this year, ant
tits well-known fact that they carr,
almost every form of germs. Ane
they have been flocking to the car
leases of the hogs dying of the dis
4 ease, although in most instances l be
4 lieve that the hogs have been Duriet
as soon as discovered dead.
THAT the disease can be contract
ed by other animals by eating tn
meat of the dead hogs was demon
strated td be beyond doubt when

a to one of the carcasses and was eatin
Ethe meat when discovered. Within
six days he was dead with every ind
cation of having suffered from tn
same disease that killed the hog"
