THOUSANDS
Of Head Of Stuck PefiShed
In U. S.
As Result Of Foot And Mouth
Disease

Foot and mouth disease has claimed
1854 head of stock in the United
States, according to the last govern.
ment report issued. This report was
made several weeks ago, but il is not
believed the amount will be really
swelled when final report is made.
as the disease is now practically
stamped out.
At present there IS only one
CLOSED" area in the United States.
This is single farm in Pennsylvania
where the disease was last discov-
cred. There are still few restrict
ed" areas in various sections of the
country, but for the most part the
country is free.
The disease broke out in October,
1914, and was the sixth attack ever
suffered in this country. Although
far worse than any previous attacks
II was handled remarkably well. ex-
perts say. 1t will be just about year
after the outbreak when the last
closed area is freed unless new out.
breaks develop.
The disease broke out in Michigan,
presumably from a serum imported
from Japan. It's rapid spread through
out the country followed the outbreak
in Illinois. Government men blame
the Illinois authorities for failure to
cooperate promptly with the govern.
ment. This, they say, caused the
spread of the disease, as it got in the
Chicago stockyards. At that time ex-
perts insisted the disease would never
be wiped out.
United States is the only govern
ment slaughtering all infected ami
r.als. Germany, which is always in
fected, slaughters only in advanced
cases. England tried slaughter last
year and is at last rid of the disease,
it is said.
Although experts chemists and ply
sicians have been working for years
no cure for the disease has been
found. The closest to a cure is used
IN Germany. This consists of cover
ing lot with four inches of lime and
turning infected cattle onto it. Some
OF these cases recover, but animals
are said to depreciate so per cent in
value after being cured.
OF the stock slaughtered in this
country, $3.50 were cattle and 69,513
hogs.

MAN VIII HADE GlNE NONN
ON STREETS FINED 5000
The other salesgirls in the aisle at
the Boston Store noticed she was
weary. Her name will not be told in
this story, for her secret is still her
own and her job is safe until her Sc
cPet is out.
Her former sweetheart, Moe Gold
berg, was fined 5000 by Judge Heap
in morals court Thursday after she
had told the story Of how he treated
her.
This girl who works in the Boston
Store is young. It is hard to realize
that she is a mother and that she has
suffered.
Some years ago when she was very
young she boarded with her sister.
She had baby. She blamed her sis
teTs husband. The sister took the
baby to raise.
After her sister family had moved
to New York she met Goldberg. He
was a cutter at Hart, Schaffner &
Marks. She told him the story of
her baby. She thought he loved her.
She loved him.
After she had lived with him a
while she said in court that he went
on the streets to earn money for him
and gave him $780,
When he wanted to open a saloon
at sol Dearborn st. she swore out a
bastardy charge against her brother
in-law and was awarded $500.
After a hospital operation for a dis
ease she returned to the Boston
Store. Her salary was not sufficient
to live on, so she repeatedly asked
Goldberg for money. When he re-
fused and she was told he was living
with another woman she had him ar
rested. In court Goldberg admitted
taking money from the girl to open
the saloon.
