early Friday moating, citizens and
officers of this place returned empty

The trail was taken up few miles

pickets were sent out all the way

officials at that point notified to keep

About 1000 Head Of Cattle and
Number of Horses and Mules
Have Been Treated.

Gulfport, Miss, July 10.-Owin2
to the prevalence of charbon among
the cattle in the county the Board Of
Supervisors passed a resolution order
ing the vaceinating of all live stock
in the county and appointed four
persons in each of the supervisors S
beats to execute this order under the
directions of the State Sanitary
Board. DR.. Davenport, a member
of this board, was in the city today
in conference with the Board of
Supervisors.
Pass Christian, Miss, July TO-
DR.. B. M. Davenport, representative
of the Mississippi Live Stock Sani-
tary Board; DR.. H. G. Capp, city
health officer Of Gulfrort, and E. j.
Adam, member of the Board of
Supervisors of district No. 8, made
an investigation of the charbon-in-
fected districts in Harrison and Han
cock Counties in automobiles and
found the disease widely scattered,
though not causing as many deaths
as reported. The work of vaccina-
ton is being vigorously pushed, and
only few stock owners were found
who were not willing to have their
cattle treated.
About 1000 head of cattle and a |
large number of horses and mules
have been treated, and the results
have been satisfactory. Only per
cent of those treated have developed
the disease, and as it has been more
than eight days since the treatment,
the doctors claim that there will bel
no more deaths among the vaccina-
ted stock, as those that did die after
treatment were infected before being
treated.
DR.. Davenport saw a number of
typical cases of the disease, and Sc
cured the blood from COW infected
and the spleen from an OK dead
several hours. These samples will
be sent to the State Sanitary Board
for examination. The disease affects
the different individual stock in many
different ways. Some show signs
OF illness for several days before the
symptoms become violent, while
others are i'll only an hour or more
before death ensues. The State
Sanitary Board will join with the
counties in conducting campaign Of
stamping the disease out, and the
general vaccination now being con-
Quoted will most probably be urged
throughout the entire county and /
regulations promulgated commanding
the penning up of all infected stock,
as well as those that have not been
vaccinated.

ssiOver in Brooklyn there's a woman
who does quite a business in cats: She

Maybe the tenant doesn't care for cats,
or that particular kind of cat But.the
tenant thinks What a nice landlady,
what a kind landiady," and takes the
cat. for the landlady has a very nice
way with her, is very pretty and makes
quite an impression. The landlady has
several exclusive cats. They are Per-
slams and most beautiful. Pretty soon
she goes to the tenant and suggests
mating. How nice of the landlady.'

along and then the nice lanlady says

Alphabet for China.

Chinese scholars who are dissatis-
fed with the Geographic characters in
which their language has always been
written have set out to form an alpha
bet, which they hope to see gradually
adopted by their c%ountrymen.
According to a writer in the New
York World, Chow Hi Chu, secretary
of the Chinese legation at Rome, as
sisted by Messrs. Wan and Chou, sub
secretaries, and by Signor Rivetta, pro-
fessor of Japanese and Chinese at the
Oriental institute of Naples, is at work
ON the project. The latter gives this
description of the alphabet that has
resulted from their labors:
ITO represent exactly all the sounds
Of the Chinese language, we had to
draw upon almost all existing alpha
bets. The alphabet we have composed
consists of AZ characters, of which %
are vowe]s and 10 are c%onsonants. OF
the vowels, four are taken from the
Greek, four from the Russian, five
from the Latin and one from the Chi
nese. Of the nine others, two are
what we call modified or prolonged
and seven are reversed.
"Of the co~nsonants, IA are taken
from the Latin, three from the Rus
sian and two from the Creek

CHEESE A VALUABLE DIET
Gould With = Large Degree Of Salts
faction Re Made to Take tbs
Place Of Meat.

In America, unfortunately, cheese
seems to be regarded more as a lux
ury than as a staple article Of diet,
yet one pound of cheese is equal in
food. value to two pounds of meat. 1t
Is rich in both protein and fat. Con-
sidering this, it's price is very low,
and it ought to do. good service in
the place of meat. It's food value is
fully recognized abroad. In Switzer-
land and to a great extent in Germany
and Italy, cheese is a part of the
daily food given to the outdoor labor
ers in the place of meat, A great adj
vantage in using cheese, and n that
should appeal strongly to the over
worked housewife, is that it is gen
orally given uncooked. There is some
doubt as to the digestibility of cheese.
1t is claimed by noted German scien-
lists. that, when taken in the usual
quantity-from one-fourth to one-half
pound daily-and by people who lead
an active outdoor life, it is about as
easily digested as meat. For the aver
age person, who takes but little out
door exercise, cheese is hard to d.
gtst. This is true of most kinds as
purchased in our market, but the
homemade cottage cheese, often call
ed clabber cheese, is IN exception.
This dish is easy to prepare and is
very economical where there is q
home supply Of milk. 1t is a good way
to use up the overplus of sou milk
on the farm. Cottage cheese makes a
nice tea or supper dish, and Is SO pal
atable and nutritious.

Cross Legs In the Car.

A young man and a young woman
sat near the door of a Columbus ave-
nue. car, the young man having his
legs crossed and one of his feet stuck
out so that all who entered or left the
car wiped their clothes on it, relates
the New York Press. At 10th street
a man and his wife got up to leave
the car. The man stopped before the
foot-protruding youth, took off his hat
and said, IF you will kindly take
your foot down it won't be necessary
for my wife to wipe her dress on
your shoes" Down came the foot,
and apparently the most astonished
young man in New York at that par
ticular moment was the youth who
had been rebuked. But a moment lat
err there was an yer more astonlsh-
ed man in that neighborhood. For
when the man and his wife reached
the street she said, "'Why did you
trouble to do that? | always give the
foot of a man like that a good klcI

STARS UNDERsTUDY
She Played a Star Part After
All.
BY SPENCER L. CLARKE.

Miss G~raziella Fernald was under.
study for the leading actress OF the
Eastern Stock company. Her great
est ambition was to be given an OPP
portunity to show her skill and ability
as an actress. Night after night she
stood at the stage door waiting to
hear IL her services were needed, and
when word was given that Miss War
rington was in good health and able to
appear, she heaved a sigh OF disap-
pointment. : lag -
Julian Forsyth had been her de-
voted admirer since their childhood
days, but nov he craved for something
more than mere friendship. He had
little sympathy with her aspiration
to become an actress. After repeated
controversies on the subject, he said
to her: my love for you is greater
and more sincere than all the ap-
plause you will eyer receive. Why not
marry me and be satisfied with the
career of becoming my adored wife?"
Marry! l should say not, when l
have this wonderful chance OF prov
ing how much better | can act than
Miss Warrington. l have studied and
studied the part until l could even
say it backwards and could act it in
my sleep"
"Graziella, this is absolutely the
last time in any shape or manner that
/ will ask you again" said the young
man with a determined air. Il have an
offer to 60 west to investigate some
farm lands. Shall we go together? l
hate to think of you here all alone in
this big city"
Don't worry about me. I'm fully
capable of taking care Of myself"
"All right" responded Forsythe,
yearning to take her in his arms, VOW
ing that he would do his utmost to
prevent her from receiving fervent
stage kisses and embraces from some
stranger before an audience of hun
dreds Of people. r..
The following morning Miss War
rington received a note from Julian
Forsythe, asking her to, allow him to
call in regard to an urgent personal
matter. The messenger boy returned

Fresh and Storage Eggs.

Recent experiments by the govern.
ment experts have shown that fresh
laid eggs, when promptly stored and
held at freezing point under ideal
conditions, are perfectly good up to
three months. After that they come
to have a peculiar odor which is
characteristic Of stored eggs. When
seven months have passed, there is
difficulty in separating the yolk from
the white, and the latter becomes thin
and watery. At nineteen months,
when the egg is cooked, the white is
pink, and the yolk is much darker.
Eggs stored for one year lose 10 per
cent Of their weight, through evapora-
ton. Fresh eggs when boiled lose
weight; storage eggs gain.

Promptly at three he presented his
card and was admitted into Miss War
rington's private room.
"Ohi" she calculated, "are you the
son of Julian Forsythe?"
Eyes, but my father has been dead
for many years; did you know him.
he inquired, wondering at how old
and haggard she looked now, while in
the evening from behind the foot
lights she seemed youth personified.
please be seated" she said in her
most charming manner. You look
just as your father did years ago, and
all the applause and glory cannot
recompense me for the honest, true
devotion that he offered me, and
which l scorned and cast aside, daz-
zled by the glamor of the stage"
When she had finished, Julian con-
fided to her how similar his fathers
experience was to his own. A long
silence ensued, for Miss Warrington's
heart was filled with conflicting emo
lions as she reviewed the past, and
realized that another young girl Ell
deavored to do exactly as she had
done. Her thoughts were interrupted
by Julian's voice. "At first / thought
you might think it presumptuous on
my part to bother a stranger with my
affairs. but I'm glad / came now, and
I hope you will let me come often"
Certainly. l will always be de-
lighted to see you. We must be
friends, and to show that I mean it,
for the first time l shall be too i'll to
act tomorrow night"
Thank you for your kind inten'
tions; but what good will that do"
"Graziella will then have her
chance. She will also show that she
isn't at all capable of taking the part
When she realizes her failure, no
doubt II you ask her again at the
crucial moment she may give up all
hopes of a stage career"

with the price Of beef and pork
forced to high levels by the scarcity
of cattle and hogs there Is reason to
expect an increased consumption OF
mutton in American homes. Sheep
growers of this country the past few
years have been bending their efforts

finished product with the result that
today American mutton is as good as
that produced anywhere on the globe.
1t well deserves more general atten-
tion by the ultimate consumers Of the
country" Il
Z. Northern minnesota is natural
breeding ground for sheep and with
the increased consumption which is
