of The majority of the commissioners
who have favorably considered the plan
Of the new anditor.
City ATTORNEY Dininny rendered an
opinion TO Mr. Shearman, or rather to
Commissioner Lawrence, in whose de"
partment the legal department falls,
which in effect says that the system
cannot be changed. A copy OF the
opinion given to Mr.. Lawrence was
also given to Mr.. Shearman.
The opinion is the result of a letter
sent TO Mr.. Dininny on December 27.
which was written because of the oppo-

Speaking of the change Mr., Lawrence
continued: ''Not only is change de-

Shortly after the election, Mr. Green
proposed the new accounting system
and at about the same time the word
was passed that G. b. Stevens, who had
been the chief deputy under Mr.. Shear

auditor, was to be discharged by Mr..
Green. Mr., Shearman and Mr.. Stevens
called upon the city attorney and ar

worry and hard running when he hap
pened to be surprised by some of his
enemies.
He was right in the middle of one of
these pleasant dreams when Sammy
Jay came flying toward him, screaming
in great excitement: Run, Peter run
Run as hard as every you CAM
screamed Sammy. 'Reddy Fox will
catch you, if you don't"
In an instant Peter was wide awake.
No dreaming now. He didn't have to
turn his head to see that what Sammy
said was true. You know, he can see
behind him without turning his head,
and what he saw now was a something
red creeping around the edge of the
bramble -tangle. He didn't have to look
twice to know what it was 1t was the
red coat of Reddy Fox. Peter took
one long jump in the direction of the
dear Old Briar Patch, and just he
did so Sammy Jay screamed again:
Look out, Oh, Peter. look out for
Redtail the Hawk" he warned.
Peter could hardly have heard worse
news. He glanced up, and there sure
enough was Redtail sailing round and
round high up in the blue, blue sky,
but not so high but that he could
come down like a shot if he wanted to-
And somehow Peter felt that he would
want to if he should catch sight of a
rabbit running across the Green Mead
ows. So it could hardly have been
worse news from Peters way of look

NURSES IN THE WAR
What the Women Are Doing.

The women of the warning nations
are nursing, cheering and comforting
the wounded or dying. The women
of Europe not only wrap baudages
and scrape lint, but they tend the
farms. dig coal. carry burdens and
do the work of the men now under
arms. Every male fighter, however
brarvuy and heroic, was born of
woman. the high courage and hardi-
hood that are Il nations strength
are inherited from the mother.
Young mothers who preserve the
charms of face and figure in spife
of an increasing family and the care
of growing children are always to
be enyied. AS a preservative of
health and beauty. Dr. Pierce's'
Favorite Prescription has been hail
ed by women as Il "Sodsend" to
their sex. 1t gives the strength and
health upon which happy mother
hood depends. 1t practically does
away with the pains of maternity.
1t enables the mother to nourish the
infant life depending on her, and
enjoy the hourly happiness of
watching the development of a per-
fectly healthy child.
Thousands of women who are now
blessed with robust health cannot

women continue to worry and suf-
fer from ailments peculiar to wom--

he would have very. very little chance
of reaching the dear Old Briar Patch.
why don't you use those paths
which you have been working so hard
to make in the bramble-tangle?" called
Sammy.
If Peter had not had so much else to
think about just then he might have
suspected that Sammy Jay was making
fun OF him, but he didn't have time to
think of anything bat what he should
do. If he only had finished those
paths, or even one of them. into the
heart of the brambIe-tangle there
would be nothing to worry about now.
But the plain truth was he had hardly
more than started the first of these
paths, and at the end of it he would
be where Reddy Fox could almost
beach him and certainly would reach
him if he was willing to be scratched
a little.
But there was nowhere else to go and
Peter turned back and scurried in
just in time. Reddy Fox stopped at the
beginning of the little path and peeped
In. Then he grinned, for he say that
Peter had reached the end.
Il think" said Reddy Fox, that a
rabbit dinner is worth a few scratches"
And with that he began to crawl in
after Peter.

One Attack Fails
to Confer Immunity


nifty, as is the case with most other
contagious diseases. Hence to inocu-
late healthy animals with serum con-
tanning the virus of the disease, as is
done for the prevention of hog cholera,
is not only useless, but dangerous, as
it would serve to introduce the infec-
tion. In Europe, however, the practice
of thus inoculating the healthy cattle
of a herd where the infection has
broken out has been resorted to in or
der to hasten the progress of the dis
ease 1t also causes the animals so
nilder form. The danger of spreading
infection by such a temporizing metrod
is so great, however, that the authori-
ties in this country have never used 1t.
The method adopted by the Depart
ment of Agriculture for the eradication
of the disease consists of a complete
and rigorous quarantine of all infected
areas and the destruction of all in
fected cattle. Experience with five
other epidemics in this country has
taught the government veterinarians

urge that farmers who discover infec-
tion among their stock put the method
into practice at once by carefully iso-
Ia ting all infected animals.
When the news of the epidemic
reached Washington, the forces of the
department of Agriculture went into
action like a weh-trained army. The
first step in the fight was the quaran-

peared Tons of chloride of lime and
many barrels of carbolic acid will be
used at each of these places before
they will be declared safe for the re-
ceiving of shipments of uninfected cat
tie. All of the pens, alleys, troughs,
managers and fences must be soaked
with disinfectant. and in addition these
places must be cleared of rats and pig
cons. which might otherwise harbor
the disease after all the infected cattle
had been killed.
In combating the present epidemic
the Department of Agriculture is for
tunate in having had experience with
several milder ores, SO that the officials,
both state and federal, know exactly
the disease. In the employ of the bu-
reau of animal industry are 4 mum Der
of trained veterinarians, some of whom
had experience in the epidemic of 1908,
and these are leading IN the Work OF
eradication.
There have been five epidemics of the
foot and mouth disease in the United
States The first of these. in 1870. came
from Canada, and was extensive, but
the disease appeared in mild form.
The two succeeding ones, In 1880 and
1884, did not assume serious proper
tions. A more alarming epidemic broke
out in 1905 and lasted nearly year,
but did comparatively little damage.
The most serious outbreak before the
present one occurred in 1903 and spread
through a number Of states.
An idea of the amount of work in
volved in stamping out the disease may
be gained from the fact that during the
1908 epidemic inspectors visited 69,S36
farms in twenty-four counties in the
state of Pennsylvania alone. The work
cost the federal government about
$500, 900. and the various state govern
ments $4,000 The present epidemic
is already twice as widespread as that
of 1908.

federal inspectors and deputy inspect
ors, aided by larger number OF state
officials, are doing the actual work Oh
stamping out the scourge. The nrst act
of this army of inspectors in any IN
fected area is to destroy all animals
which have the disease or have been
directly exposed to it. Trenches at

cattle are led to the edge and there
shot, so that they will topple into
their graves and infection will not be
spread by dragging them. Their hides
are slashed, they are covered with
uuicklime and then buried under five
feet of earth. The owners of the cattle
are reimbursed at the appraised value
of the stock, the appraising being done
by a state Inspector and the state and
federal governments sharing the eX-
penSe.
When all the infected animals have
been killed the next step in the process
of eradication is the disinfection of the
premises they have occupied. For this
work the inspectors are dressed in rub
ber coats. hats and gloves, and after
leaving each infected farm this wear
ing apparel is disinfected by means of
small fumigating lamp. Various
methods are used in disinfecting prem
ises, according to local conditions, and
the utmost thoroughness is necessary.
Where large area is involved a tank
is usually filled with a per cent so
luton of chlorinated lime. and this
is applied by means of a force pump
operated by a portable steam engine.
In disinfecting barns and stables the
woodwork and floors are usually torn
out and burned and the walls and cell
ing are then thoroughly sprayed. In
the case of barns where large amounts
of hay and fodder are stored fumlga-
tion is generally used.
