SOME POINTERS ON ANTHRAX
DR.. Mack Issues a Circular that
Will Prove of Some Interest
to Stockmen.

DR.. W. P. Mack, of the State univer-
sity, has just issued a circular on an
thrax (which has been received by the
Standard) that will prove of consider
able interest to stockmen.
According to DR.. Mack's account an
thrax has been known since the very
earliest times of which there are writ
ten records. Before modern methods
brought it under control excessive out
breaks were frequent in many parts of
the world in which both men and ami
mails perished in large numbers.
Anthrax is an acute specific lnfec-
tious disease, affecting nearly all spe-
cies of animals and man. Herblvera and
rodents are most susceptible, carnivora
and birds less so, but they contract 1t
under certain conditions. 1t IS most
often met with in cattle, frequently in
horses and mules. Sheep are no less
susceptible, but as they Craze almost
exclusively on higher ground they are
less often exposed to infection. Swine
and dogs sometimes contractit by feed
ing on the earcasses of animals which
have died from it, Man is less suscep-
BILE than the domestic animals, but con-
tracts it readily under proper condi-
tions.
The germs enter the body with food
and water and by inhalation and through
abrasions in the skin. Animals are most
often infected by swallowing the germs,
frequently through wounds; and man
through wounds and by inhalation. The
infection is often transmitted by biting
and bloodsucking insects. The germs
are more resistent than most species CT
bacteria, and will live in infected soils
and buildings for long periods.
The disease is usually acute; some-
times the first indication of trouble VIII
be the sudden death of animals which
appeared. perfectly healthy few hours
before. However, they may live from
a few hours to several days. The NOR
tality is always high in animals. but
few NAV recover. In man the chances
for recovery are much greater.
Stockmen are warned against the dan.
ger involved in handling anthrax and
are advised not to skin or otherwise ex.
anime or handle the carcasses of AMI
mails dead from 1t. Such careasses
should be burned where they lie when
ever possible.

WANT THE CONVENTION HERE
Delegation Heads for Reno to
induce Republicans to Con-
vene IN Fallon.

Hon. w. w. Williams will head a
delegation that will leave FaIon Friday
afternoon for Reno, where every per-
suqsion will be used TO get the state
executive committee of the Republican
party to select Falon as the place of
holding the state convention that will
be convened sometime during the month
of April for the purpose of choosing
presidential electors from Nevada.
Included in the delegation will be nu-
merous ones of the local business men,
all Of whom will advance convincing
arguments in Fallon's favor for the
benefit of the Republican politicians. 1t
is pointed out that Fallon is the best
advertised town of its size in the West,
and that the advertising has potent re-
sources as its basis. The greatgovern-
ment irrigation system; the wonderful
sugar factory. our matchiess fields of
alfalfa; our superb climate; our pretty
girls and matronly women, are all fac
tors that should be considered by the G.
O. p. followers in selecting site for
their state convention.
And, as a further reason, Fallon has
never had such a meeting, although
many other cities of the state have
been thus favored. 1t is a rapidly
growing town and is something of Re-
publican center, as was demonstrated
al the last election.
