declared that when the complete re-

TWO DISEASES CLOSELY ALLIED
ONE AFFECTS HORSES, THE

Davis. Okla, Jan. 22.-That blind
stdggers and meningitis are closely
akin, one affecting horses, the other
man. there can be no doubt. Ac-
cording to Columbus Nelson. an old
Chickasaw Indian, who recently pass
ed the 92nd milestone in life's jour
ney. meningitis is always -prcyalent
when horses are dying with blind
staegers. This view is held by
practically all Of the older men OF
this vicinity.
DnIing the past few weeks scores
of horses have died with a disease
resembling Blind >tae"els, hut the
Indians pronounce it meningitis, such
as James Looney died with last
night. Just what causes this dread
disease among men and beasts can
not be definitely determined, but
the Chickasaws declare it comes
from corn.
ExChief Chigley said toGay. Soak
corn at least ten hours before feed
ing It if YOU want horses to live.
On top of the water you will find .
10. of poison floating, which should
be skinned off and burned. Be
careful not to allow chickens or
pigs to eat this

days should look ont for meningitis
