ONLY TRANSMITTED By MILK
Man Cannot GET observation-disclosures Dis
ease by Eating Meat, Declares
Doctor


That the foot-and- mouth disease can
not be transmitted to human beings
by eating the flesh OF diseased ami:
mails. but can be contracted by drink
ing unboiled milk or butter made
from the milk of an infected cow,
is the statement made by Dr. E. J.
Danek of Chicago. who has studied
the disease.
The symptoms in man." he says.
ARE as follows: There is fever; this
is usually low. but may reach as high
as 104. Il may be accompanied with
a chill. loss of appetite, pain in mus
cles. back and head. with a cramplike
pain in the abdomen Nausea and
vomiting are common. The primary
seat of infection is the mouth The
disease when uncomplicated is mild.
Its average duration is two weeks
from the onset Severe cases may
last six to seight weeks
This disease is transmissible to
man through unboiied milk or butter
and cheese and also directly from the
saliva or contents of the vesicles of
injected animals gaining entrance
through abrasions of the skin. 1t is
especially frequent in children and in
those whose work brings them in con-
tact with diseased cows. 1t appears
that this disease cannot be trans
mitted by eating the flesh of infected
animals"

ACCOUNTING FOR OLD MAIDS.
Various Reasons Why Giris Of Home
burg Are Living Lives OF
Single eiessedness-

They say there are one hundred
thousand old maids in Massachusetts,
Ill bet that's just about the number
of Massachusetts young men who have
gone West or somewhere, and haven t
remembered the things they said at
parting as well as the girls did
We've got plenty OF girls I'm Home
burg who are getting intimately ac-
quainted with the thirties-fine girls,
still pretty, bright and keeping up
with the world Young men come into
town and do their best to get on a
thou beside-me' footing. but somehow
the girls don't seem to marry. At the
root of almost every case there's an
old Homeburg boy Maybe he's max
ing good somewhere, and they're both
waiting until he does Maybe he isn't
making good and is too proud to ask
her to wait. Maybe she's waiting
alone-because some other girl was
handler in the new place. And maybe
1t wasn't case of wait at all, only the
boy who went away looked better to
some Homeburg girl than any of those
who stayed at home
There's Carrie Moore. She's our
prize maid and dresses like a mail
sack full of government seeds. but
they say she was the prettiest girl in
Homeburg when young Cyrus McCord
went to Chicago to carve out his flu
ture so that he could come home and
marry her. But Cyrus didn't carve
out his future. He married it instead,
and Carrie is almost sixty now, living
alone and getting peculiar. like so
many of our lonely old folks do

Kitchener. the strateoist.

One of the most characteristic sto-
ries of Lord Kitchener. says Pearson's
Weekly, is told of his campaign in the
Sudan. 1t appears that snipers had
been shooting his messengers, and he
ordered that a telephone wire should
be carried across a certain stretch of
the desert.
AS Kitchener had ordered it, of
course it had to be done; but there
was much struggling of shoulders, for
it was believed that after the enemy
had got over their awe for this new
contrivance they would be sure to cut
the wire.
That is what happened time and
again Kitchener never complained;
he simply ordered the wires to be re-
paired
Later ON the shoulder shruggers
learned to their intense surprise and
admiration that the overhead wire was
only q decoy- Kitchener had caused
the real wire to be laid underground.

Oh, We Good Old TIm...


That the big New York hotels are
not homelike or comfortable is the
plant of a western Pennsylvania man
who makes frequent trips to New
York. Il suppose this is New York's
idea of what a regular hotel ought to
be like said the visitor as he looked
disdainfully about the gold and gilt
trimmings of the music room at the
Waldorf-Astorfa. But let me tell you
there are lot of things missing right
here. Where are the big, comfortable
chairs a fellow can sit in while he
rests his feet on the brass rail and
looks through big plate glass win
dow at the crowd passing on the
street? Maybe you think your regu-
lar hotel dweller doesn't miss that
window, but you're wrong And these
steam radiators. all gilt and silver or
bronze or whatever color they happen
to be. Suppose you think they make
a fellow who is a thousand miles from
home feel SO comfortable and home
like as the old round iron stoves that
used to decorate every hotel lobby?

hotels every tme-"-New York Times.

The Japanese administration OF

History Of Precious stones.

The history of the employment Of
diamonds and other precious stones
harks back to the days of the gods and
goddesses whose worshiped effigies
were ornamented with them East In
dfa was ages ago the great source of
supply, and many of the rarest stones
in existence were stolen from the eyes
and foreheads of the ancient gods of
that country, the thieves often being
followed to the ends of the earth and
murdered to regain the precious treas
ure which was intimately associated
with the most sacred and mysterious
of oriental rites. The requirement of
diamonds, especially. became a pas
sion with kings, queens and mobiles,
and of the noveau richie; and in the
sacking of palaces and temples in an
older day precious stones were always
regarded as the richest of the loot
