Boots American Woman Is Wearln,

Boots American Woman Is Wearing
With short walking skirts boots
should play an important part. The
average woman is seldom enthusiastic
about shoes for long time; prob
ably she Is too much concerned about
the slimness or shapeliness Of her
ankle. which is apt to spread inele-
gantly unless it be strictly confined.
The boot Of the moment is Of black
patent leather with white glace up
pers, for which white suede may be
substituted. and 1t Is really very
smart. although already 1t suffers
from the misfortune OF being Initiated
by the cheaper shops.

The strong Bordeaux, known as $3.50,
should be used. The plants must be
sprayed four to eight times during
the season, beginning just as soon as
they are well established after trans
planting. Great care must also be
used to see that the work is thorough
ly done. 1t must be remembered that
all these diseases start on the lower
part of the plants and the spraying, in
order to be effective, must thoroughly
cover these parts.

State livestock inspectors recently
condemned the largest number of cat
tie found infected with tuberculosis in
Louisville for months, ordering that
twenty-five animals in large herd
arriving from Maysville be slaugh-

sophomore medical class of the Uni
versity of Louisville, in charge Of DR..
Leon K. Ba1dauf, pathologist Of the
university, journeyed to Butchertown
to witness the slaughtering Of the ami
mails. The students were given an
opportunity to study the nature of
bovine tuberculosis and the effect of
the tubercular germs upon the respora-
tory organs Of the animals.
The animals were condemned after
tests had been made for State veteri-
marian Robert Graham by DR.. f. T..
Eisenman, assisted by DR.. e. CalIde-
meier The tests were made at Mays
vile, where the herd in which the in
fected cattle were found originated.

Must Act Under Instructions.

If county health officers wish. pay
Tor their services IN disinfecting,
quarantining and other prescribed du-
ties Of their Offices, they must act UNI
der the specific direction Of their

performed will not make the county
liable for their remuneration. So the
Court of Appeals decided in case
