PROTEST UPON
CATTLE KILLING
400 HERDS WITH MILLION
SLAUGHTERED IN ILLINOIS
But EPIDEMIC is NOT
STOPPED.

Chicago Potests against the
slaughter of herds of cattle afflicted
with the hoof and mouth disease
were made yesterday by members of
the Fox River Valley Milk Produc-
ing Association. which is composed
of farmers in the Elgin butter dis
trict.
The protest was made following
meeting Thursday at which the
farmers discussed methods to save
their cattle. Speakers at the meet
ing, which was held at Woodstock,
advocated a petition for an injunc-
ton, but Vincent Lumley, attorney
for the association, advised. an ap-
peal to the public.
According to. the statement sent
OUT yesterday the members of the
ssspciation do not protest against
isolation or quarantine of affected
cattle, but they do object to the
killing of the herds.
Kill Cattle Worth Million.
/ Nearly 400 herds, value! at more
than $1,000,000, have been killed in
Illinois," the statement reads. "The
killing of the herds has not stopped

affected today than mont, ago

innate of the value of herd and
the state will have the right to kill
as many cattle as its inspectors deem
advisable.
Then the passage of the aprro-
priation bill will place another tax
burden on the people, because if the
slaughter continues for few weeks
as in the last month the appropria-
tion must amount to about $1,000

GREAT BRITAIN

In CARGO CERTIFI-
GATES

London. England. the
foreign Office favors the American
plan OF certifying cargoes loaded
under the direction of treasury de-
partment officials and destined for
European ports, 1t is reported that
England can not accept such certifi-
cation as an absolute guarantee OF
the nature of the cargo in case any
cause for suspicion arises after the
vessel leaves America.
That is, the right of search can
not be waived because of the posi-
bility of shifting cargoes at sea and
the impossibility of guarding against
smugglers carrying copper or other
Icontraband for transfer at sea.
There is a favorable impression
here regarding the American ctrtifi-
cation plan as further manifesto
ton of the United States to hasten
a satisfactory settlement of the diff
ferences concerning delay and stizure
of American cargoes.

TONS OF FOOD IN
COLD NOW
Immense Value of the Products
Held For Winter Indicated
by Foust's Report

Butter in cold storage in Pennsyl-
almost 100000 pounds in three
months according to the summary of
the reports of the warehouses made as
of October l to Dairy and Food Com
missioner James Foust. On the first
of July there were 4,964,S77 pounds
in storage, but on October l the
amount had risen to 9,744,913 pounds
almost the high water mark for but
ter since the cold storage inspection
act became effective. In the same
period the eggs in storage declined
from 1s,S00,169 dozens to 15,903,S51
dozens. Exclusive of eggs, in and out
of the shell, the foodstuffs held in
storage on October / amounted to 16,-
92O,54 pounds against IL, ,86O,611 at
the beginning of July.
The immense value of the butter and
eggs in storage can be seen from the
fact that butter and eggs are selling
about thirty cents. The fish in storage
also represents an immense value. At
the start of July there were 1,S00,SS7
pounds in storage. On October 1 the
amount had risen to 4,190,3SS pounds.
If fish are worth ten cents a pound
this represents a big investment.
The eggs out of shell in storage at
the start of October were 452,619
pounds against 362,S7S pounds at the
beginning of July. Poultry shows a
falling off. On October / the amount
in storage was 1,039,576 pounds
against 2,361,431 at the beginning of
July. Game in storage the first of this
month was 7,016 pounds against 6,97S
on July 1. No squads were reported
this month.
The reports on meat by carcasses
shows 164,657 pounds on October /
against 81 800; veal 31,S24 against b.
OLA; sheep 70,SS1 against S5,926; hogs
7,016 against 277,46 The reports on
parts of carcasses show a general drop
rs compared with July 1.
One of the interesting things about
the detail of the report is that on
July 1 there were IS pounds of SQUAD
in the warehouses. On October 1 it is
stated that there were just two lone
squads and 33 pigeons. 1t is not stated
where the two squads are resting.

Dear Mr.. Editor:-Just lately, am
told and beg to inform your readers,
that the famous DR.. Pierce, of whose
medicines and Surgical Institution in
Buffalo, New York, we have heard for
years, has added to his popularity by
asserting to put before the American
people, 'An-Uric" This prescription
is adapted especially for kidney oom-
plants and diseases arising from dis
orders of the kidneys and bladder,
such as backache, weak back. rheu-
matism, dropsy, congestion of the
kidneys, Inflammation of the biad-
der, scalding urine and urinary trou-
bles. The physicians and specialists
at DR.. Pierces great Institution have
thoroughly tested this prescription
and have been with one accord sue
cessful in eradicating these troubles,
and in most cases absolutely curing
the diseased kidneys.
Patients having once used An
Uric" at the Institution have repeat
edly sent back for more. Such q de-
mand has been created that Doctor
Pierce has decided to put AN Uric"

adopted and is giving splendid service
all over the country"
How Money Was Spent
With reference to the morning
newspaper reports as to the expendi-
ture of funds for apparatus I will say
this, continued the commissioners.
THE report states that $1,000 was ex-
pended for new apparatus and $4,000
for motorizing old engines. These are
the facts: Council, in its wisdom saw
fit to award contracts for new appara-
tus amounting to $14,650 and $11, 900
for motorizing two engines and one
truck. The motorizing of the truck
makes 1t available for any part of the
city.
This method was adopted to give
speed in answering alarms. The first
few minutes in the incipiency of fire
are vital; and the swift unit with
chemical tanks catch many fires ere
they gain larger proportions. Then in
the entire city-excepting possibly the
hill sectton-we are fortunte to pos
sess better than average water pres
sure, making good plug streams avail
able on the arrival of the combination
carrying chemicals and hose; if the
fire is large the steam engine unit fol-
lows quickly and finds the hose laid in,
couples up to the plug, attaches the
hose and boosts the water pressure.
In our system we are following met
ropolitan practice, combination chem
cal and hose units and separate en-
gine units. In the smaller cities the
triple combination is in favor as the
water pressures average much lower
than those prevailing in Harrisburg.
We have made such a good start, that
the submission to the people of the
question of an addition loan only
needs favorable action to complete an
ideal system"

POLAR RESEARCH.
Arctic and Antarctic Problems That
 Still Remain Unsolved.

Arctic and Antarctic Problems That
 Still Remain Unsolved.
 The era of pole hunting is now hap. oily over, and the best result of Pea rvs and Amundsen's athletic feats in the north and south is that the really important problems of the circumpolar regions can henceforth be attacked with a single mind. From scientific standpoint enough work remains to be done in these regions to last for sev- eral generations.
 The antarctic has only been scratch ed. so to speak. Owing to the diverse scales used in school geographies the average man goes through life with badly warped ideas concerning the rel ative sizes of various parts of the earth's surface. and so probably few people realize that the antarctic conti- nent is very much larger than Europe in fact. about as large as Europe and Australia combined. Of this huge con- tinent we do not know even the shape and location of the coast line, except for one long stretch south of Australia and few widely scattered points else where, while the whole interior. apart from a narrow wedge between Ross sea and the pole, is virtually blank on our maps.
 In the arctic patch of q million square miles is still absolutely un- touched. So much for mere surface geography; but. of course, modern DO. lar research includes wide range of nongeographical problems pertaining to such diverse subjects as geology. glaciology. meteorology. terrestrial mag netism, seismology. oceanography, zooi- ogy, botany, physiology, ethnology and rchaeology.-Review of Reviews.
