FOOT DISEASE NOT
NEW OR DANGEROUS

With a farmer the other day relative
to the foot and mouth disease, he said
there was no doubt but that, he had 1t
in his herd last summer and that there
were three or four other herds that
had ii in both Marshall and Grundy
counties. This man has handled cattle
all his life. being an old herder in
northwes, ern Iowa counties when large
here's We're picked up around here and
taken nerth for the summer. He says
it is a foot disease proper: that 1t
IS transmitted 10 the mouth by the
cattle licking their sore feet: that they
itch and burn Is fully demonstrated by
their constant licking. He says it is
easily cured and usually with one ap-
plcation. Apply turpentine freely
above the hoof. then cover the toes with
axle-grease. The turpentine kills the
germ. and the attic will not lick their
feet and the axle-grease keeps the
flies away. The mouth gets Well itself.
Isolation is necessary to stamp 1t out.

ties-Few Wooden Coaches Now Be.
ing Constructed.

Washington. Nov. 2o.-The construc-
ton of wooden passenger cars for the
railways of the United states prac-
tically has ceased, according to the re-
port Of the committee on rails and
equipment. of which {. G. McChord. of
the interstate commerce commiss ION.
is chairman. made TO the annual con-
vention of the National Associat ton of
Railway Commissioners today.
The committee finds that &c per cent
of the 1921 derailments in the ten
years from 1904 TO 1s13..inclusive, were
due to defective roadway ard equip
mert. These derailments were the
cause of s,727 deaths.
Not only defects in steel hut heavy
wheel loads and high speed are blamed
for some Of the breaking of rails or
failure Of rails in other respects
There can be no doubt" the commit
tee reports. that steel cars are better
and safer than those of wooden con-
struction. A statement from the Pull
man company shows that in four years
seventy-three persons were killed in
wooden Pullman cars while only six
were killed in all-steel cars.
There has been a noticeable in
crease from year to year In the loads
to which rails and equipment have
been subjected TO and the increase is
still going on" says the report. In no
other situation involving danger to life
is material used with so slender a mar
gin in strength, judging from the an
nual statistics Of accidents. In COM
parison with other engineering uses Of
materials of con struction knowledge OF
the working stresses in railway ma.
terials is In very backward state. No
other service furnished so extended a
list of annual failures which, in part,
is attributed to this lack of informa-
ton nor would such an exhibit OF fail
ure be tolerated in any other bran CHI
OF engineering. Many Of these fail
ures are believed to be Of preventable
nature and, even in the light of pres
ent knowledge, could be guarded
against"
The committee suggested considera-
ton whether there should be some
state or federal supervision of this
class OF material which Is exhibiting 80
many failures It recommends that ac-
curate information Of the cnuse of the
fractures OF rails should be obtained.
