LYMAN H. HOWE'S PICTURES
COMING NEXT WEEK.

That semi annual event which gives
stay at homes the opportunity to leap
from one continent to another with
out leaving a theatre chair, is schedul-
ed for the Rhode for next week, Tues
day night and Wednesday afternoon
and night, when Lyman I'll. Howe will
again present an entirely new pro-
gram. Howe visits have become an
established institution here as in six
hundred other cities. His ever new
and ever more notable films, together
with the unseen but versatile imita-
tors behind the scenes who are all
things beyond the possibilities of the
sensitized films, are ever welcome be-
cause the name of Lyman II. Howe can
be depended on as q positive guaran-
tee of all that is absolute perfection in
flmdom. Really it. seems no longer
necessary to speak words of common
dation-though Mr.. Howes exhibition
justly deserves them. The mere an
nouncement of its appearance means a
rush for reservations by the legion Of
local loyal "Howe Travellers" for
whom he is the favorite guide to the
-of-the-way places of the earth.
Among the big new features, a
"thrill of thrills" is promised on a
new ride on runaway train. Another
spectacular adventure is that which
takes spectators down into the crater
of Vesuvius. The growth of plants and
flowers; new bird studies; the electro
dysis Of metals; railroad ride through
Greece; and a trip through quaint, his
toric and ever enchanting Venice, are
only few of the remarkable subjects
included in the new program. advdw

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1914.

In view of the recent outbreak of
foot and mouth disease in the Missis-
sippi Valley, the most extensive as yet
in the United States, an account taken
from The Journal of the American
Medical Association, of the principal
features Of the disease may be of in
terest. 1t is an acute, highly infecti-
Gus disease, which occurs chiefly in cat
tie, sheep, goats and swine, though
other animals such as the horse and
dog, as wellVas certain wild animals are
attacked also, and it may affect human
beings. In animals it is characterized
especially by an eruption in the mouth
and on the feet, in some species more
in the mouth, in others more on the
feet. In cattle the incubation period
averages from three to five days,
whereupon a moderate fever with loss
of appetite and other general symptoms
sets in. In two or three days small
blisters appear on the lining of the
mouth, and now the fever usually sub
sides. At the same time one or more
feet may show tenderness and swelling
of the skin, soon blisters form here al
so, and the animal goes lame. In the
mouth the blisters may reach half an
inch or more in diameter, but usually
they are smaller; the contents, at first
clear, become turbid and as the cover
ing bursts, small painful raw spots are
produced which either heal quite
promptly or turn into ulcers that heal
more slowly. Usually the milk is al
tered and reduced in quantity; blisters
and ulcers may form on the udder.
There is marked loss of weight, as the
animals do not eat because of the pain.
In this, the ordinary form, in which
the death rate is very small except
among the young, the symptoms fade
away in from ten to twenty days or
so, except when local infections delay
recovery, but there are also severe
forms with extensive infection which
frequently end in sudden death. In
such severe cases ulcers are found in
the stomach and intestines. In sheep
and swine, LESSONS Of the feet pre-
dominate.

TALK OF PEACE.
Villa Troops Are Reported to Have
Defeated Carranza's Forces at
Leon-H. L. Wilson Indicted.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The constitu-
tionalist agency here received infor-
nation from Mexico far from agreeing
with the state departments more hore-
full dispatches that peace was al hand
According to the constitutionalist re-
port from consular agent at Laredo,
a body of Villas troops under General
Angeles severely defeated a Carran-
vista column under General Blanco at
Leon, in the state of Guanajuato.
The agency here also received word
that the Arieta brothers, chiefs in the
forces of General Carranza, were
marching on Torreon, one of Villas
strongholds, south of Chihuahua,
where some of the bloodiest battles of
the last three years have been fought
This dispatch intimated that an as
sault might be begun not later than to-
morrow.
The state department is understood
to have been informed that General
Carranza had consented to resign on
condition that General Villa would
prove the sincerity of his offer to leave
the country by meeting his old first
chief at Havana General Villa is
quoted as being willing to meet Gen
eral Carranza in Havana either for a
conference or a duel If the meeting
should end in a duel, General Villa
was said to have expressed a prefer
ence for dirks.

The council did not get around to
the election of water commissioner at
the meeting of the council Monday
/ evening, but no harm will be done if
the members of the council take plenty
OF time to consider the qualifications Of
all of the men proposed as successors
of Commissioner Greenwald. IT will
take a good man to fill his place on
the board and the selection of a com
missiner to fill this vacancy is one Of
the most important duties the council
has been called upon to perform for
some time. If it is decided to go ahead
and extend the plant the board of
water commissioners will be entrusted
with the expenditure of large sums Of
money and the whole future of the
plant will depend largely on the kind
of work they do. 1t should not be for
gotten either that there is a certain
element left ever from the old days OF
the Doodle gang which positively drools
at the mouth every time it thinks Of
the surplus the water company has
piled up and the great earning capacity
of the plant and that with the pros
pect that large sums Of money are to
be expended in the near future this
element would undoubtedly like q
representative on the board. The Ke-
nosha municipal water company is the
best paying and most efficient PROPOSE
tion of its kind in the United States
and it has been made so because it has
been kept out of politics and its aft
fairs managed by representative bust
ness men, but if the people of this city
want to keep their plant what it is they
have got to watch it. Nothing is surer
than that the plant will begin to go
down if any political considerations are
going to have anything to do with
naming the commissioners now or in
the future.

HITS WEATHER BUREAU.
Reports and Predictions Curtailed on
Account of Lack of Information.

Even United States weather predic-
lions are affected by the European war.
Instead of seven day prediction, no
longer period than four days is now
attempted. This is due to lack of re-
ports of observations from Siberia,
Japan and other eastern countries.
"The standard period of prediction
is thirtysix hours says Eris R. Miller,
lecturer in meteorology, University of
Wisconsin, and weather forecaster Of
the United States bureau at Madison.
" Madison receives a daily report from
about ninety outlying points of North
America. From this information a
weather map is made up with tabulated
statements. Within little more than
two hours from the time of observation
some three hundred of these maps are
off the press and in the mail. The fore
cast alone is sent to list of about
eight hundred. -
Recent permission has been granted
local forecasters to predict for a
longer period in case of county fairs
and similar undertakings if the weather
is not in too rapid state of change.
Other Wisconsin stations are estab-
lished at Milwaukee, Lacrosse and
Green Bay. Wisconsin also receives
service from the Dubuque, st. Paul and
Duluth Offices Statistics show that the
bureau attains an accuracy il predic-
tion of about ninety per cent on the
average for the country as a whole.
