WHY BEEF is HIGH

Veterinarian Says Tick That Attacks
Cattle Is Cause.
Chicago, Dec. Am important fac
tor in the high cost of living is the
insect known as the tick which by
attacking cattle in every part of the
country, is costing the people $780,
100000 annually" said DR.. Peter F.
Bahnsen, state veterinarian of Geor-
gia, in addressing the United States
Live Stock Sanitary association in this
city.
"This little insect causes every man,
woman and child in the country to
pay tribute to it in dollars and cents.
It directly increases the. cost of all
kinds of meat by the great damage it
does to cattle"
Rigid enforcement of inspection
laws to prevent the shipment of in
fected cattle from one district to an
other and the education of the farmer
and stock raiser were suggested as
remedies for the evil.

DOROTHY ARNOLD
WAS KIDNAPPED?
New York Banker Says He
Firmly Believes Il
THE FAMILrS THEORY, ALSO
Heiress Said to Have Been Carried Off
by White Slavers and Killed to Pre-.
vent Discovery.

Heiress Said to Have Been Carried Off
by White SIavers and Killed to Pre-.
vent Discovery.
New York, Dec. An the course of
a talk on white slavery at the Met
ropolitan Temple, James Lees laid
law, the banker, mentioned Doro Thy
Arnold, who disappeared about three
years ago, and stated that he had
known her from the time when she
was a little girl, and that he knew
now that the Arnolds realized that
''the worst" had happened to her
Mr.. Laidlaw explained that he had
mentioned the case of Dorothy Ar
nold's disappearance as an illustra-
tion of what he believed to be fact
that white slavery might come home
to any family in New York, no matter
what it's financial or social position
He said that he had known the Ar
nolds for many years and was some
what familiar with their efforts to
find Miss Arnold, although he was not
speaking in any way by authority of
the Arnold family.
He said that he believed, and knew
that the Arnolds believed, that Doro-
thy Arnold had been kidnapped, prob
ably by white slavers, and he went on
to say that he himself believed that
when the kidnappers discovered that
their victim was a member of family
of
tinued search for her, she was muir
dered to prevent discovery.
Mr.. Laidlaw and his wife have inter-
ested themselves in the white slave
and other social problems, and the
banker was careful to have it under
stood that he mentioned the Dorothy
Arnold case only as an illustration of
what may happen to girls and young
women of gentle birth and breeding if
the slavers can lay their hands on
them.
While not processing to be able to
give details of her disappearance, Mr..
Laidlaw Is of the opinion that Miss
Arnold was captured while crossing
Central park, was bundled into an au-
tomobile and carried off. The hue and
cry raised at her disappearance in
formed the kidnappers of the identity
of their victim, and in order to prevent
her from giving evidence against them
they murdered her.
John S. Keith attorney for the Ar
mold family, said that the kidnapping
theory had been entertained by the
family since month or six weeks af-
ter the disappearance of Miss Arnold,
and that nothing had developed to al
ter their belief in that theory. Mr..
Keith said also that the family be-
lieved that white slavery was at the
bottom of the kidnapping, although
robbery also might have been a fac
tor.
The family also believes that the
young woman was murdered, probably
soon after her capture, for otherwise
she would have contrived to commu-
nicate with some of the searchers.
Furthermore, Mr.. Keith said, even if
her kidnappers had not killed her, the
young woman long ago would have
died as result of the life to which
the family fears she would have been
forced If living.
