No New Cases Of Hoof and Mouth
Disease Have Been Reported To /,
State or U. s. Veterinarians.

Des Moines!--Iowa has been free
of the hoof and mouth disease for
more than week. so far as the state

led that long.

legislature has appropriated to take
care of the states half. In addition,
the burial and disinfection expenses
ran to more than $4,000.
All told, "A herds were infected
with the disease, and these herds
were on 80 farms. The infection was
confined to Jackson. Clinton, Cedar.

CLAIMS ACT IS VOID
Declared the CIarkson Bill Has
Defects That Will Annul.
MAYsTOP MULCT LAW REPEAL
Representative Rogers of Carroll
County Believes Dry Measure As
Passed Amends Something
That Does Not Exist.

Des Moines.-The Clarkson act re
pealing the mulct law and many 9TH
er acts passed by the Thirty-sixth
general assembly are absolutely IL
legal IL the opinion advanced by Re-
preventative Rogers of Carroll county
is correct.
After making careful study OF tho
laws in relation to publication of the
1918 code supplement, Mr.. Rogers de
clared that the repeal bill was Illegal
in that 1t repeats something that does
not legally exist. In other words. he
believes that the sections enumerat-
ed in the repeal bill have no legal ex
istence.
The point is purely technical, but
the Carroll county representative be-
lieyes that a court test would show
it to be fatal to the Clarkson bill.
Section Al of the code provides that
every act in amendment Of any Sec
ton to the code shall contain in the
title reference to the number and
name of the chapter so amended.
The Clarkson bill refers to the num-
Der and name of chapters in the SUP
plement of 1918, and Representative
Rogers makes the point that, legally
there is no such thing as the supple
ment Of 1918.
In support of this point he points
to the act of the Thirty-ffth general
assembly which provided how the
supplement should be prepared and
published.
Among the provisions was one re-
quiring that the supplement should
have an index. The supplement fur
nished the members of this general
assembly has no index. Mr.. Rogers
opinion is, therefore, that the sup
plement In use is not official, does
not comply with the act Of the Thirty
fifth general assembly, and has no
existence in the eyes of the law.
At the beginning of the present
session a resolution was put through
the general assembly changing the
plan for publication Of the supplement-
to allow publication of the index liz
q separate volume. This resolution
was not approved by the governor.

THE SINCERITY OF SAINT
THOMAS,

We may reverently infer that If the
Apostle Thomas honest expression of
a lack of conviction in the marvel of
the Resurrection had not been respect
ed, the Divine Redeemer would never
have deigned to favor him with the
special manifestation that over
whelmed him with supreme faith. His
risen Lord pointed to the higher de.
gree of faith in things unseen and He
must have loved Thomas honesty of
mind a great deal when He gave him
the sweet rebuke that would draw
that outspoken nature into the service
of the gospel. Thomas previous
questioning, we may infer, had not
been irreverent or antagonistic. He
probably did not doubt that his Lord
could rise again. He possibly simply
wondered whether he did and would
not yield until he knew. When such a
truth-loving nature surrenders to
spiritual truth it surrenders complete
ly from the same principle Of frank
avowal Of what 1t believes that first
made It refuse to profess.
The Irish standard., 1915-04-10

To apply this more particularly, all
of us have noted that there are no
finer Catholics than converts. How
ever their eyes may have been closed,
when they see the truth they cling to
it and treasure it with a fervor that
often puts native Catholics to the
blush. Our duty, therefore, to all of
our brethren of imperfect sight with
out the fold is SO to affect them by
speech and example as to make them
see further and apprehend more, that
the really true of purpose among them
may grasp the truth to which they
will give all allegiance when once it is
manifest. c. H. K.

through which was drawn the patent
leather belt.
The long tunic has not disappeared,
for on some of the most up-to-date
suits they are worn. These tunics are
so long, however, that it is but an inch
or so of the underskirt that is seen
beneath. Sometimes the tunic is
shorter in front than in the back and
the lower skirt may be of contrasting
material. Such a skirt saw recently
of black taffeta and black-and-white
striped taffeta. The waist worn with
this skirt was made with black collar
lined with the striped material and
flaring so that the black and white
formed a decided trimming feature of
the waist.
Other tunics are slashed up the side
and give almost an apron effect front
and back. Again, the tunic shrinks to
mere apron in front, which may have
rounded corners and be edged with
narrow fluted ruffe of the same
material.
In my illustration is to be seen a
checked taffeta dress, which is made
with the up-to-date tunic skirt. The
check is in gray and black, and white
with a touch of sand is used for the
body of the waist and for the tunic
or overskirt. The vest of the waist
and the underskirt are of gray taffeta.
A cunning little hat is worn with the
dress, and is strictly tailored in its
simplicity and extremely smart.
Suits are very smart which have a
covert cloth jocket and skirt of black
covert, the connecting link between
coat and Skin, being a black collar on
the coat.
The military effect is to be seen in
linen suits. A very well-cut linen suit
in oyster-white was made on Norfolk
lines with a belt and very large peck
cts on the side over the hips. The
box-pleats in the coat were duplicated
in the box-pleats on the skirts, which,
in this case, were pressed down to the
hem. In the wool skirts the pleats are
often laid in at the top. but are not
pressed in.
Braid is also used to give the mill
tary effect to jackets or waists with a
cut far from military. A dress with a
basque-like bodice Of dark blue and
a plain, full skirt had four heavy
braid frogs fastened directly across
the front. Narrow braid outlined the
lower edge OF the waist. The hat
worn with this dress was the crown.
ing feature OF its militarism. It was
black, round and rather shallow. and
worn we'll over the forehead. Direct.
