Later the eruption about the top of the hoof IS sometimes converted into an ulcer. In the COW the milk becomes yellowish and somewhat mucoid in character
 No specific microbe has as yet been isolated, but the contagion may be spread among cattle by the urine. feces and other bodily discharges and the contents of the vesieles.
 The disease is transmissible to man by the contents of the vesieles, by the milk and butter and by cheese made from the milk of infected cattle Meat from slaugh- tered animals sick of the disease Is not regarded as dangerous. if properly cooked. Children are more susceptible than adults, and In infants the trouble Is often fatal All milk fed to young children should be boiled if from suspected source.
 "The symptoms of the disease In man are fever loss of appetite, malaise.

There Is a sense of heat and burning in the mouth and throat. The swelling ma y be so great as to cause inability to talk and great pain in swallowing. There

 Tn view of the apparently rapid spread Of the recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease in the Chicago stock yards and the report of suspicious case in an ad- joining state the possibility of the occur renee of this disease in our own state must be borne in mind. In order that it's occurrence may be promptly recog- nized. and measures taken to protect other herds, the chief symptoms and characteristics are set out briefly below.
 The disease occurs not only among cat tie. but also among sheep. hogs, and more rarely goats, horses, dogs, cats and fowls. After an incubation period of three to five days the first symptom usually no- ticed is fever. The mucous membrane of the mouth swells and becomes tender. and little grayish vesicles (water blisters) the size of a hemp seed begin to develop principally on the tip and edges of the tongue; also on the lower side of the tongue and on the gums and mucous sur faces of the lips.

PARIS MAY HAVE
OHIO LEAGUE TEAM.
President Read, of Ohio
League, Visits Paris with.
View ofPlacing Team.
WANTS NEWPORT
TRANSFERRED.
Confers With Prominent Lo-
cal Fans and Thinks
Paris Is Sure Shot.

A special from Newport to the
daily papers Tuesday, said:
ga meeting of stockholders of the
Newport Club of the Ohio State
League will be held Friday night,
when a decision will be made as to
the transfer of the franchise and club
to either Paris or Frankfort, KY, or
Lancaster, O. Receipts at Newport
have fallen beneath the expectations
of the owners and the proposition OF
the citizens of the above towns have
met the approval of the local club
owners"
The entry of Paris into the Ohio
State League, of which Lexington and
Maysville are members, can be fore
casted with reasonable degree of
certainty. 1t is proposed to make
make Paris the home of the Newport
Club, that, owing to the Cincinnati
National influence, has not been sup
ported properly by the people who for
years had complained that they were
barred unjustly from organized base
ball.
Robert w. Reed, President of the
Ohio League, came to Paris Thursday
and was given information on what
Paris has done and may be expected
to do toward the proper maintenance
of professional baseball proposition.
He will recommend to-day at meet
| ing in Newport that transfer to
Paris will be the proper thing for the
directors of the company to order.
Not bankrupt, by any means, is the
club that no doubt is destined for
Paris. The league president did not
start a hat-passing campaign while
here. 1t was his wish to relocate the
team in a community where god
base ball is appreciatedin the right
way. If the change is made Lexing-
ton, will be closest rival for Paris.
Maysville is the second clostst point.
| Chillicothe, Portsmouth and lronton
are the Ohio cities in the circuit,
which includes Charleston and Hunt
ington, of West Virginia
This season is the seventh Tor the
league of which Paris is likely to be-
come a. member 1t ranks high in its
class and has graduates on teams OF
both major and class AA leagues
| A shift of the Newport club means
/ that Parisians will see better base ball
than has ever been provided for them
In case the contemplated deal is made
the inaugural series in Paris will be
PLAYED on June 20 and Il, with Hunt
ington's club as the visiting one.
During his visit Mr.. Reed inspected
the local ball park and expressed him
self as greatly pleased with its loca
ton and it's playing possibilities.
The Newport team is amply guaran
teed financially and the transfer here
lis sought because it was Presiden,
Reeds natural preference. He hae
Learned that Paris was considered one
of the best baseball towns In the
State, and gave it first and only con
sideratiOn.
