EXECUTIVE CHAMBERS
PIERRE, SOUTH DAKOTA.
A PROCLAMATION
A PROCLAIM

WHEREAS, it has been amply demon.
strated that at the present time an in
fictitious, contagious and communicable
disease known as the foot-and -mouth
disease is prevalent to an alarming and
dangerous extent among the cattle of
various states of the Union, and that
as yet the said disease has not been
brought within proper control, and
WHEREAS, the free movement Of
cattle, other rnminant animals and hogs
from infected districts into the State Of
South Dakota would undoubtedly re
suit in the introduction of the said foot
and-mouth disease, thereby seriously
endangering the public health and the
live stock industry of the state, and
causing an inestimable loss of property
within our boundaries,
Now, THEREFORE,, |, Frank M.
Byrne, Governor of the State of South
Dakota, for the purpose of preventing
the Introduction and spread Of the said
disease, by virtue of the authority vest
ed in me by law, do hereby proclaim
and provide that until further order of
the Executive of the State, no cattle.
other ruminants or hogs shall be shipped
driven on foot, or otherwise transport
ed into the State of South Dakota, save
and except that such live stock. loaded
in cars outside of the state and consipn.
ed to points outside and beyond the
state, may be transported in cars
through South Dakota to the points Of
destination, PROVIDED that said live
stock so consigned and destined shall
not under any circumstances be unload
ed within the boundaries Of the State Of
South Dakota.
This proclamation shall be in full
force and effect from and after twelve
o'clock noon, November tenth, nine
teen hundred and fourteen.
In testimony whereof, Ihaye hereun-
to set my hand and caused to be affixed
the Great Seal Of the State OF South
Dakota, this ninth day Of November.

HOLIDAY HELD TO
PLAN DISEASE FIGHT

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. g.
More than 100000 Hoosier men. wo-
men and children are today celebrat-
ing what is probably the most unique
holiday ever given the people Of this
state. B proclamation Of Governor
Samuel M. Ralston all Indiana has for
this one day focused its attention in
a new way on preventing diseases.
Cities are decorated, factories are
closed down, merchants have suspend
ed business, and in scores Of COM
munities with populations running
from 5000 to 100000, spectacular pa
rades were to be a feature of the
days doings.
The day became one Of education
for the school children on the subject
of preventable diseases. Hundreds Of
thousands Of school children marched
in parades, carrying banners and PEN
nants on which were phrases telling
facts about health and disease. Hun
dreds Of floats portrayed In some
manner important health truths.
Church societies, chambers Of COM
merce, women's clubs, and other or
ganizations Joined in today's celebra-
ton. State militia, including the hos
pital corps, took part. Merchants
seized the opportunity to display
health giving foods, healthful cloth
ing. athletic goods, and utensils used
in the general health propaganda.
The occasion is known as "Disease
Prevention Day." and while this is the
first time it has been observed, the
intention is to make it an annual oc-
casion, and to impress the principle
for which the day stands as being
equal with the principle for which the
Fourth Of July stands. The idea has
been received with favor by educators
and philanthropists throughout the
United States. Governor Ralston NJ
ceived letter from Nathan Strauss
Of New York in which he said: Il
consider this one Of the greatest ideas
ever originated" He congratulated
Indiana on the birth Of an idea "surs
to spread throughout the nation"
The proposal to observe "Dissass
Prevention day" came from Walter D..
Thurber, executive secretary Of the
Indiana Society for the Prevention Of
Tuberculosis, who urged the governes
to put the machinery Of the state ~
hind the proposition. following sse-
cessful "tryout" Of the ida In Ar
