and it is not possible to effect a com plete cure after the disease is estab- lished.
 In the case of an affected horse it will be an advantage to dampen the food with a mixture of one part of mo1asses to three parts of water, so that no dust may arise while the ami maI is eating. It is also desirable to restrict the amount of hay or forage, as large quantities of bulky feed which dtstend the abdomen increase the difficulty, and an animal with heaves should never be driven or worked when full of such material
 In these cases Fowler's solution of arsenic may be given in doses of 1 ounce in the drinking water three times daily Ordinary lime dissolved in drinking water (limewater9 will be

HE.AvEs OF HORSES

L
 Heavess is a very common and an moving disease of horses, interfering seriously with the usefulness of the animal, and consequently detracting from its value. Mainly disease of of faulty feeding and working, espec- fally hard pulling or fast driving when the stomach is overloaded. Gross feeders are frequently subjects of heaves.
 While in old, established cases there may be alterations in structure of the heart and stomach. the principal changes are observed in the lungs. These consist first in an enlargement Of the capacity of the air cells through dilation of their walls, followed by a passage Of the air into the lung tfs- sue between the air cells. Owing to such structural changes, it is inpos- sib1e to prevent progressive develop ment of the disease, which, however, under proper care, may go on slowly, the animal remaining serviceable for certain kinds of work for years.
 Except in the very early stages the disease is readily detected. The syn1p- toms are those which would naturally be manifested in a condition where the lungs are involved A peculiar short grunt-Iike cough is usually present, and when the animal is ex- erted 8 wheezing noise accornpanies the breathing The principal and characteristic symptom, however, is the Jerky or double movement of the abdomen in an effort to force air from the lungs The air passes into them

freely, but the power to expel it is lost to a great extent; therefore the abdominal muscles are brought into play.
 Indigestion is frequently observed in these cases. and the horse may have 8 depraved appetite, as shown by a de- sire to eat dirt and soiled bedding: and there is a tendency to the condi- ton commonly termed 'spot-bellied. 7 The animal, though a, heavy feeder, becomes unthrifty and ernaciated.
 A poorly ventilated stable, humid weather, sever work. and overfeeding with coarse, dry feeds tend to aggra- vate the trouble.
 As in this condition structural changes have taken place in the lungs, treatment as rule. can only be di- rected to the relief of the symptoms,

The military amendments Just passed
by the convention numbered three and
their purpose Is to bring the constitu-
ton In harmony with tho present or
ganization of the National Guard pur-
a to state and Federal laws.
The emergency message has been
used by Governors almost from the
time the 1924 Constitution was adopted.
The first use Of II was when Theodore
Roosevelt as Governor sent an emer-
sency message to tho state Assembly
With a view ~ having that house i'm
mediately pass the Ford special fran
chise tax bill. which had been printed
for weeks. The then Speaker. the late
$. Fred Nixon. tore M the emergency
message md paid no attention to II.
but Roosevelt followed II with another
and the bill was passed.
The idea Of the emergency message
was that II would be used only in ex-
IRENE cases, when a Governor could not
walt for a hill to he printed and stand
upon the desks OF the members three
days before passage. But from the
tim or Roosevelt emergency messages
have been as frequent as the important
bills passed by the Legislature. Its
use really nullifed the provision that
bills could not be passed without being
In final form upon the desks OF the
members f"r three days. which was put
In the Constitution OF 1894 to prevent
the passage of bills without publicity.
