WASHINGTON, Nov. TO-
Boies Penrose for president on
the republican ticket in 1916.
This is the logical conclusion to
be drawn from the election re-
turns. The tariff as an issue.
and the exponent of the highest
tariff as a candidate of the re-
publican party. Will the repub-
lican managers carry the cam-
paign to its logical conclusion
Just now many of them think
they will.
Penrose stands for high tariff,
the repeal or the Simmons I'm
derwood tariff and a return to
the policies of Hanna and Nc
Kinley-the political gospel of
the "full-dinner-pail." He is
openly against moral issues or
any of those things embraced un>
der the head of social and indus
trial justice. He is frankly for
business, first, last and all the
time. and by business he means
the business of Standard Oil, the
Steel Trust, the Coal Trust and
other big corporations.
The election returns are an un.

BABIES IN DANGER FROM
DEADLY CATTLE DISEASES
BY j. R. SWOLLEN

STOCKYARDS, CHICAGO, H.,
Nov. fO.-"The epidemic of foot
and mouth disease which has
broken out among the cattle of
the country threatens "A loss of
millions Of dollars To the farmers
OF the nation unless Immediately
eradicated, but should cause no
unnecessary alarm among con-
sumers," declares DIR. y. Il. Hen
nett, United States veterinary in
charge of the quarantine mt the
Chicago stockyardls.
See that your meat is prop
erly cooked and your milk warm
ed II you wish to avoid catching
a disagreeable disease, which.
while not fatal. is distressing.
The germs of the foot and mouth
disease cannot exist in a temper
ature of $50 degrees, so 1t is not
necessary even to have the milk
reach the boiling point OF 212 de-
grees to kill them.
Danger to Babies

course, is to babies, as adults are
slow to become infected. II Is ad-
vlsable that milk fed to babies
should be heated sufficiently to
kill the germs. II not, the tender
membrance of the mouth and lips
may give a foothold for the germs
and soreness and fever result.
Although | have never seen
an instance of a human being be-
ing affected, understand it has
been common In Europe, where
the disease is extremely preva-
lent"
Bankrupt Farmers
To permit the disease to go
unnoticed would bankrupt the
farmers of the country and create
a meat and milk famine. The

measures to stamp out the cpl

The government expert In
charge of the fight ON the ept-
demic.
fected animals are being slain and
buried.
The usually busy stockyards,
where thousand cattle were
slain under the direction of the
federal and state veterinary off
cials, presents an odd sight these
days and forecasts something that
will probably affect the entire
country - an advance in meat
prices.
Throughout the yards the cat :
tie buyers are idle for the first
time since 1865. There is no
buying, no selling. In the pens
are grouped the massive steers
just in from the west, calmly
chewing hay. Frequently one of
their number drops to the red
brick pavement, with which the
yards are floored, and starts licS-
ing his front hoofs. The ever
watchful inspectors are after him
in a moment, cutting him out of
the herd and driving him, limp
ing along to the isolation pens
and death cells.
Down alongside a trench, dug
with a dredge and large enough
to bury a regiment of soldiers, he
veterinaries are working. They
are attired in rubber coats, boots
and hats and never fail to fumi-
gate themselves before leaving
the spot.
Us Big RevOIvers
Assistants with heavy revol-
vers-the usual stockyards meth
Oh of Strengthening with a sledge
is not used-dispose of the four
footed invalids as they limp lazi-
ly to their death.
When they drop with a bullet
in the head they are rolled into
the trench and workmen with
shovels cover them over. When
the trench is filled it will con-
tain $4,000 worth of cattle
which probably would have been
cut up into 100000 worth of
meat had the United States Oft
Gals not acted so speedily.
The farmers and rancnels
whose cattle is killed will be re.
imbursed, half by the state and
half by the federal government,
for their loss.

IN NEW QUARTERS.
Haas Il Co. Are Now Dong Business
One Door East of Their Former
Shop.

The first of the week Haas & Co.
moved their butcher shop one door
east into the NJ. A Harmon building,
which has recently been remodeled
and put in fine shape for them. The
handsome new fixtures they have in
stalled are attracting lots of atten-
ton from their many customers and
friends. A handsome new refriger-
ating plant of the latest design has
been installed, and it has many de-
sirable features for the keeping and
handling of meats, lard, etc.
A handsome new counter also
greets their customers. In the CEN
ter is a small cooler, and on both
sides compartments for the display
of roasts, steaks, hams, etc. Taken
all in all it is a handsome, clean,
sanitary shop and a credit to the
city and Haas & Co.
Chas. Haas, the senior member of
the firm, started the business in
1876, the same year Ben Bear and
K. / Haugen opened their stores in
DEBORAH, which ranks him as one OF
three oldest and successful business
men OF DEBORAH. About IA years ago
his brother, Henry formed a partner
ship with him and the firm has been
known since as Haas & Co. In all
the years this we'll known butcher
shop has run, it has always enjoyed
a fine business, and hundreds of
customers have traded there regu-
larry for years. While as yet the
firm has not got things just in the
shape they intend to have them, it
will only be the matter of a short
time before all details are complete,
and they will have a model market,
as nice as any in the state.

Old Timers PLAY Ball.

Last Thursday there was a real
ball game at the fair grounds, be-
tween some of the old time ex-leag-
ures Of DEBORAH and the youngsters.
Such players as Ole Marsh, G. F.
Baker and E. r. Haines, took the
notion that they could still play ball
and got up team. Well, they were
beaten, but not very bad. The score
was 10 to IL, and return game is
expected soon to show who is who.
