mouth disease now raging among cat
tie in Id states, is communicable to hui
mans, the department of agriculture
announced today. but its effect rarely
is serious. The department urged, how
ever, that humans keep away from
diseased cattle to avoid spreading the
infection and recommended the use
Of pasteurized milk.
1.-THE most common fear" the state
ment says, lis that the milk supply
might become contaminated, but in
view of the precautions tina local au-
thorities in the infected areas are very
generally taking. there is compare
lively little danger Of this.
1T has been demonstrated by ex-
periments which have ben made in
Denmark and Germany that pasteuriz-
alton will serve as safeguard against
contagion from the foot and mouth
disease Just as readily as it does
against typhoid fever, but in any
event. 1t must be thoroughly DONE

the President of the United States to
insist that the Colorado loal mine OPP
orators comply with 'the federal plan
for settleaent of the strike and for
the government to take over the mines

the interests of the toilers and there
by assisting for laying foundations for
more lasting peace.

reports, the convention today listened
to a number of addresses by fraternal
delegates and others. Among those
who spoke was Frank P. Walsh, chair

delegates to enthusiasm by express
ing warm sympathy for the labor
movement. He said that the first re-
port the commission will make to
Congress next month on the underly-

contain definite conclusions. The re-

of 800 employers representing the
greatest industries in the country ex-
amined by the commission only five

sion The contribution also emphasizes
the urgency of the situation.
THE commission is arranging for a
regular steamship service from the At
lantic seaboard and a transport service
from the interior to the seaboard. The
commission urges all local associations

throughout the United States to convert
all their funds into local purchases of
foodstuffs, as they can be more advan-

that these generous American people who
are unable to contribute money should
contribute something from their own
stores of food into the hands of the To-
cal organizations.

Compare Two Crimes

While the county officials were en-
deavoring to find some connection be-
tween his death and the murder in
oxford county of Thomas e. Preece,
who left here October %, they did
not secure much evidence along that
line beyond the similarity of the two
crimes.
They were inclined to believe the
murderer was a local man for the
reason that the tramps or floating ele-
ment. here during the potato harvest
ing season, had departed.
Timony was last seen alive, as far
as known by Harry Bolster. son of C.
K. Bolster. his employer. Bolster
took him to the railroad station As
he missed the noon train. he had to

Andover, who had not heard from him
since he left his home in August to
work with moth exterminating
crew in New Hampshire. He was
about 40 years of age.
