PLAGUE AT LEXINGTON
Council Grove Doctors Called Into
Consultation.

Council Grove, Oct IF. NJ. Thomp-
son, near Herington, has lost three
horses with a disease much resembling
horse plague. Several neighbors have
had horses affected and there is much
anxiety as to the probable outcome of
the trouble.
DR.. Ludwig Fredenburg of Council
Grove, who spent several weeks in the
plague infected districts in 1912, was
called in consultation with the local
veterinarians and decided that the
trouble was not plague but a similar
affection resulting from feeding mouldy
corn fodder. The first symptom noticed
is a staggering gait and the horse when
down is unable to rise without help. AS
a rule they die in three to four days,
but some last longer and a few have
recovered. In the early stages of the
disease the affected animals eat and
drink as if in perfect health.

THEY ARE A NUISANCE
Commission on BillbOardS In New
York Makes Its Report.

New York, Oct AFTER an eight
months study of the billboard prob
lem in New York, a special commission
appointed by the late Mayor Gaynor
has arrived at its conclusions embodied
in a book of over $50 pages. The find
ings of the commission are that the
billboard constitutes a nuisance be-
cause of it's unsightliness; that it
causes a further fire hazard in many
places and also is a menace to public
health on account of the rubbish it
often hides.
Restriction of the use of the bill
boards is recommended, including pro-
posa1s to tax such advertisements, to
establish a censorship upon designs. to
authorize health officials to prohibit
large electric signs where they are
found to interfere with sleep in resi-
Dental districts and both health and
fire officials to order removal of all
signs which are a menace to health and
safety. New York City, says the re-
port, has probably more billboards,
roof signs and illuminated advertising
signs than any city in the world
In the whole city it is estimated there
is total of $500, 900 square feet of bill
board advertising with an income to
the advertising companies of more
than a million dollars a year
1t was added that there is serious
doubt whether billboard advertising is
as profitable to the merchant advertis-
er as other forms of Advertising
