Plankinton, as democratic national
committeeman from South Dakota, is
the latest Development in the milling
in the state democratic camp. The
movement is construed by many to
mean a skirmish against the Johnson
Coffey combination.
Mr.. Hitchcock declared today that
he did not know that lie was n candi-
date for the place, although his name
had been mentioned at the state pro
posal committee meeting at Pierre
two weeks ago today. He also said
that he was aware that petitions We're
being circulated 10 place his name in

other matter to file ii.
The vacancy in the office of ma
tional committeeman will be automa-
tically created with the appointment
of Mr.. Taubman, the present incum-
bent as United States marshal vi

Mr.. Taubman din not commit himself
upon the likelihood OF being appoint

Human Health And The
Foot And Mouth Disease

the disease was found among the cat
tic. As long, therefore, as the dis
ease can be confined by rigid quar-
antine to certain specified areas, the
danger from this source is very small.
Should the pestilence spread all over
this country and become as general
as it has been at various times in
large areas in Europe, the problem
would become more serious. Under
any circumstances, however, pastcur-
i2ation would be an efficient remedy.
Where paSteUriZatiOn is not possible,
and where there is any reason to sus-
poet that the disease may exist, the
precautiOn of boiling milk might be
advisable. Simple directions for pas
teurizing milk at home, however, are
contained in Circular 127, which will
be sent free on application to the
United States Department of Agl1-
culture.
Cows affected with the malignant
form OF the disease lose practically
all of their milk. In mild cases, how
ever the decrease may be from one
third to one-half f tho usual yield
The appearance of the milk also
changes. 1t becomes thinner blush.
and poor in fat. When the udder Is
affected, the milk frequently contains
coaEulated iibrin and blood, 50 that
a considerable sediment forms, while
the cream is thin and of dirty color.
These changes, however, occur only
when the disease is in an advanced
stage and as a matter of fact, the
disease is not permitted to pass into
an advanced stage, as any stricken
animal is al once slaughtered.
Men who come in contact with dis
cased animals may also become in.

the disease is rarely serious. Where
il is very prevalent among animals
some authorities believe that it is

but that The disturbances il causes

q very good reason for everyone civ
