be conveyed to the place of final dis

spread in this way.
In case of the removal of charbonous
carcasses, especially, the natural body
openings shall be plugged up, or stop

with an effective germicidal agent,
such as crude carbolic acid, etc., to
prevent and disinfect any discharges

DR.. FLOWER GIVES REGULATIONS
OF LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD
FOR PREVENTION Of CHARLTON

In view of extensive infection of
anthrax or Charlton and the very nee
essary sanitary precautions to be OBJ
served, respecting the disposition of
carcasses, the attention of the public
is hereby directed to regulation nine
co. of the Louisiana State Live Stock
Sanitary Board, issued June 5, 1912.
under authority of Section five (5) of
Act 274 creating this Board.
Regulation of the Louisiana State
Live Stock Sanitary Board as
amended and adopted, June 5, 1912.
In order to prevent and control the
spread of anthrax or Charlton, hog
cholera, or other contagious, infectious,
or communicable diseases of animals
in the State, through possible error in
diagnosis and the careless and insani-
tary disposal of diseased carcasses, it
shall be the duty of the Police Jury
of each parish to appoint one or more
persons in each Justice of the Peace
Ward as live stock sanitary officers,
whose duty shall be to attend to the
immediate and sanitary disposal of the
carcasses of all animals dying in his or
their respective Ward in the manner
prescribed by the Secretary and Exec
utive Officer of the Louisiana State
Live Stock Sanitary Board, to-wit:
The carcasses Of all animals shall be
Immediately disposed of by burning or
by burial in one or other of the follow
ling ways;
Burning: suitable trench shall be
dug about two feet deep by two or
three feet wide, and of sufficient length
to accommodate the number of car
casses to be burned at one time. Across
the top of the trench should be placed
IA sufficient number of green poles, or
iron bars, If available, to act as grid
die on which to place the carcass. The
trench should be filed with kindling-
wood of some kind, and after the car
cass is placed on the poles, it should
be heaped up with heavier wood, and
the whole saturated with coal oil and
set fire to.
In some sections Of the State, wood
may be scarce, while coal oil may be
plentiful. In this case, sufficient
number of old gunny-sacks, or other
easily-inflammable material that will
absorb the oil as wick, should be
placed at a safe distance, may be con-
Quoted into the trench through a pipe,
and the flow SO regulated as to keep
the absorbent material constantly satu.
rated with it. In any case, the burning
shall be continued until the whole OF
the carcass is consumed in order to de.
stroy every particle of infection.
| The trench method of cremating, OF
burning, is much less expensive than
by burning the carcass upon the sur
face of the ground, as by the former
a draft is created, and with fire above
and below, consumption is much quick

SALVAGE FROM LOST SHIPS,
Specie in Quantity Has on Occasions
Been Recovered From the Victims
of the Oceans Fury.

Although the chances Of being able
to do so are considered doubtful, since
she lies in II fathoms of water, the
Canadian Pacific railway has not
abandoned all hope of relocating the
Empress of Ireland. At any rate, every
effort will be made to recover the
100000 worth of silver, in 163 bags,
which is still in the specie room of the
sunken liner.
The most notable salvage Of silver
during recent years was made after
the Oceana sank in the channel in
March, 1912, through collision with the
Pisegua. The work was hindered by
strong currents and tides, but during
the succeeding three months silver
worth over 100000 was recovered at
O very low cost. The Oceana was ly-
ing quite upright; the Empress of Ire
land turned turtle-obviously a very
much more difficult position for sal
wage work
The 100000 worth of silTer, how
ever, represents but small portion
of the money which went down with
the ill-fated vessel; for thousands Of
pounds belonging to the passengers
themselves must have been lost. The
average passenger on one Of these
liners usually carries a plentiful sup
ply of loose cash and bank notes with
him, and it is estimated, as in the case
of the/ Titanic, that the loss OF paper
money belonging to passengers them
selves mrsr have been enormous.
The b,..ks, it might be mentioned,
are the gamers in such cases. The
usual procedure when bank notes are
lost is to at once inform the Rank Of
England, giving the numbers. Then 1t
is necessary to wait - months. If by
that time the notes have not been re-
turned to the bank, you may obtain
the cash on again presenting the num-
bers and giving the bank a letter Of
indemnity, guaranteed by your bank
ers, to refund the money should the
notes ever be presented, in which case
the bank is bound to pay again.
If the numbers on the bank notes
are unknown, and the notes are never
found, the money goes to the un-
claimed bank balances, in which there
are always huge amounts of other peo-
