DIR. CUNNINGHAM ISSUES
 BULLETIN ON ANTHRAX

i Instances are shown where many per sons ate infected meat and did not de velop the disease, while the butchers contracted it. It seems that there Is still less liability from drinking milk. Of the writes below, which were studied in the preparations of this ar ticle, only three mentioned milk Never theless. both infected meat and milk must be regarded with suspicion and guarded against. All agree however, the gastric secretions destroy the bacil- Jus but does not affect the spores.
 Prevention
 Recalling the fact that the organs, even including the hoofs and horns or dead animals contain the bacillus and that the fluids of such animals when exposed to the air the bacilli in them form spores, the first essential when an animal dies is not to skin 1t or break the skin nor drag 1t over the ground, but to burn it at once. The only sub stitute, which is not safe one, is to bury it and cover it with quick lime. There are number of instances of the soH becoming infected from buried ami mals dying of anthrax, and in this way water grazing pastures and even veg etables become infected. Manure from infected lots or stables should not be employed for fertilizing gardens, yards or neldS. II must De felnemDefeu that the spores of the anthrax bacillus will live indefinitely in soil. Pastures that are infected should not be employed for pasturage for years. community whose soil has become infected with anthrax spores are up against serious and difficult proposition When the car casses are not burned the bacillus and spares are scattered broadcast by dogs, rodents, flies. buzzards, etc. Barns should be kept clean and clear of dust. the sick COW isolated and her dis charges burned and all the forage for well cows boiled when there is infeo- tion in a herd
 The flesh and milk of such anlmals should not be used by man.

 ON BILLBOARDS
Black Says Property Owners Must Re- move Them or Be Prosecuted.
 No Further Warning

Solicitor Hugo l.. Black stated last night that all owners of property on which were billboards or fences which held liquor advertising must remove them at once in order to escape prose- cution, as Sheriff Thomas J. Batson has been ordered. to arrest all violators of the new law.
 According to the solicitor there are about 150 people in Jefferson county at the present time on whose property there is liquor advertising exposed, and it is to these persons that the present warning is given as Solicitor Black stated last night that no further notice would be given and all future offenders will be prosecuted.

l. Anthrax has a large geographical distribution, but prevails less in the United States than many other coun- tries.
 9 That it has large geological dls- tribution. but prevails most on the cloven- -hoofed. vegetable-eating ami mals.
 3. The susceptibility of man is much less than in animals.
 1. It has an external and internal -type of the disease. The external type is contracted by inoculation upon an abraded surface, or through the bites of insects. the stable fly. mosquitoes, etc. This type may result in general infection, producing the internal type.
 D. The internal type is caused by swallowing the bacillus or spores In infected meat. milk or other food, or forage for animals, and by inhalation of infected dust.
 G. The greatest source of infection in the human being is the handling of in fe.ted carcasses and hides. wool, hair !, sir. etc.
 The part played by eating infected meat and milk is not definitely settled

vvSHE delightful weather Of the past
week has been Turing motorists in
IL TO the country, and although it is
a bit previous for the popular picnic
motor parties, every one who enjoyed
this form Of wholesome recreation last
year is happily looking forward to the
time when the sun Is Just little
warmer, the breezes just little milder
and the grass and springtime flowers
lust little more in evidence.
Already boats, Launches and canoes
have made trips up and dc@n the Will

ises greater activities and interest in
this line Of out.of-dOor pastme than
ever before.
Indoor affairs may cease, but society
will not suffer much from inertia 80
long as the weather permits Of the en-
jdyment Of more natural form OF
amusement. The golf links at the
country club are described in prime
condition, and devotees of the game
can be seen going clubward almost ev-
cry day. Picturesque highways leading
out from the city furnish a mecca fOl
evening or weekend pedestrians on
pleasure. bent, and many are returning
from these jaunts with records Of theil
trips in the form Of unusually good pie
tures and snapshots, as the lighting al
this time Of the year is particularly
good.
Practically all society is planning on
going to the exposition sometime during
the summer, but as yet few definite
dates have been decided upon. The

number probably doing the fair during
