spread of the foot and mouth disease
in cattle and hogs II has been found
in Michigan that the disease was
spread to some extent by sending ont
diseased hog cholera serum.
The state board of control applied
to the state college plant at Ames for
serum to be used in treating a herd
of hogs at the Anamosa reformatory
which has been attacked by cholera.
The board was informed that the gov
eminent has forbidden the college au-
thorities to send out serum, manufac-

could be used. This has not yet been
determined.
DR.. j. l. Gibson, state veterinarian,

order. He had received no word of
such a move from the federal author

He confirmed the report that the
supply of serum in the state is ex-

THE girl, Eileen Fitzgerald, 2O9

Mrs Belle Fink. A middle-aged
man dressed in a light suit, entered

Hears An Interesting Address By

A. the meeting of the Friends
Brotherhood last evening Dr. Woods
Hutchinson, of New York City, ad-
dressed the men on the subject,
Fields Into Which the Modern Doct
Ior Is Entering" DR.. Hutchinson gave
his hearers to understand that the
modern practitioner had his own
ideas on education. According to the
Doctor, a boy ought to do about what
he wants to do, eat what and when
he wants to. sleep all he want to,
play as much as he wishes and then
devote the rest of the time to study.
The modern doctor also has his ideas
as to modern industrial methods. He
believes the methods which have
! been in vogue during the last quart
er of a century to be wrong. Mr..
Ford, maker of the Ford automobile.
has the right idea; he pays his help
well and gives them reasonable
lhours and as result makes more
money, because his help takes an in
Iterest in the work. Again the mod
fern doctor has his ideas on the
icrime of our nation and the GRIMM
ais From investigation it has been
found that the criminals are not nor
NAL men and women. In studying the
criminals Of the land 1t has been
found that 1t is a problem of study
ing only a few families. Tests made
at Lansing, Kansas and at Michigan
City, Indiana, have shown that the
Iage of the criminals there, as far as
mental development is concerned, is
about nine years, while their actual
ages range from 81 to so years. DR..
Hutchinson thinks that, il the Grim
final class could be isolated, crime
would vanish and the penltentiary 90
tout of business. In the modern trend
!of medicine the speaker sees great
opportunities for the practical side
lof the religion of the future.
