Advice To
Girls
BY ANNIE LAURIE.

Dy ANNlE LA " ME.
Dear Annie I.aurie--Is II proper
for the girl to set a date wher
she invites young man to cali
or should she tell hip she would
he glad to have hiim call ana
leave II with him when It shall
be? II the young man wants to
sc" n girl don't you think he viii
let her know? Is it proper to
send IA Christmas card to a young
man who has been very nice In
you and whose friend YOU wish
to he? Is 1t better to be distant
TO a man or treat him like giri
friend" II girls are nice to men
do they think they are chasing
them" What should a girl say
II man tries to kiss her?
CURIOUS
= n n ERCY. young lady. you
M quite take my breath away
with all your questions
Six of them. and every one
important to hundreds OF girls IN
this city. Firstly. consider 1t cx-
tremcly courteous for girl to So,
date when she invites q young
man to call. There are two reasons
for this. II shows that she really
wants him to come. and 1t remove,
any doubt the man may have OF the
sincerity of the invitation. Once
the girl has set the precedent. there
is no doubt but that the boy viii
ask to call In future.
It Is proper to send a card OF
greeting to any friend, irrespective
of SEX. II cannot be criticised. IT
b. treating II man like a girl friend
YOU mean for her to behave natu-
rally when she IL with him. yes--by
all means. That does not mean
losing her dignity. but rather drop
ping the affectedness many girls
assume when talking to men.
There are varying degrees OF ''h--
ing nice to a man." all depending on
the girl and her idea OF behavior
If girl maintains friendly
frank attitude toward man, there
is no reason why she should be az
cused OF chasing him.
If II man attempts to kiss CIR,
the situation is almost beyond the
by her attitud" that she considers
tn" Toung mans actions ungentlr-
manly.

a radius Of over Is miles, the source
Of the infection remained a mystery
until two days later, when 125 swine.
divided among five herds, we're found
infected within half mile of the first
discovered premises. These swine had
evidently had the disease in mild
form for considerable length Of time.
Infection had been carried from these
to the cattle through drainage.
This again emphasizes the need, the
authorities state, for continued careful
examination Of all live stock in pre-
viously infected areas, especially large
herds Of swine. Farmers and stock
raisers by giving immediate notice Of
any suspicious cases to the nearest
health officer will greatly aid the au'
thoritles in their efforts to eliminate
this pest, which il allowed to gain q
foothold would result in untold dam
age to the nation.
Owing to the fact that few animals
are shipped from the section in which
the latest outbreak occurred, 1t Is be.
lleved that no serious or widespread
complications will result from this
new center Of infection.

AND MOUTH DISEASE
New Outbreak Emphasizes
Need of Careful Inspec-
ton by Farmers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The sus-
ceptibility OF swine TO the foot and
mouth disease and the failure on the
part Of swine owners to recognize its
symptoms are giving the Federal au-
thorities no small amount OF worry
II their Cleanup" campaign, accord
ing 10 the United States Department
of Agriculture.
Sore mouth, a common indication
Of the disease. is an ordinary Sc.
quence of hog cholera, and contusions
On the feet are frequent in swine which
have been driven or shipped. For
these reasons little attention Is paid
by the owners OF swine to these symp-
toms, and unless the herd Is located
within suspicious territory foot and
mouth disease may continue in a
chronic form for considerable length
OF time before discovery. The dan
ger. OF course, lies in the ability OF
these animals to disseminate the dis
ease.
Since the first case OF foot and
mouth disease found IN a herd of hogs
In Michigan, which later permitted the
infection Of the Chicago Stock Yards,
hogs more than any other animal have
been responsible for the spread Of the
disease. A few months ago. in the
outskirts Of Philadelphia, In district
containing close to 10000 swine kept
in small lots. several thousand were
found to eb infected.
On July 20, foot and mouth disease
infection was discovered to exist in u
herd of 20 cattle within the city lin
its Of Hornell, steuben County, New
York. Another herd Of rs cattle, pas
tured across the road from these, has
been exposed and is under surveil-

Praise Be, tho Brother Was LYING.

Police courts are not always marked
by an atmosphere Of piety, but the ex-
ception to the rule occurred in court
where a very religious man, against
whom one Of the neighbors had made
complaint, was being tried for some
trivial otfense. The complaining wit
ness was called to the stand to relate
his side Of the story, and the defen-
oant listened closely for several min
utes. Then his personal feelings over
rode court etiquette and he rushed up
to the Judge, fervently exclaiming:
Your honor, the brother is lying.
