Anthrax a MMianant Disease.

Anthrax is disease propagated by
a spore which lives in the soil, and 1t
is almost always contracted first by
domestic animals. 1t is most fatal to
sheep, but it also causes regular an
nual mortality among cattle and
horses.
The anthrax spores may live in the
soil for as much as twenty years, sc
that they are very difficult to eradi
cate. About the only successful
method of disinfecting q region where
anthrax has gained hold is to foo
the land. The spores will float away
and may be disposed of by this
method, provided the drainage ult
mately reaches a large river and 1
carried to the sea; for they remain a.
tive a long time. and if allowed to set
tie and dry will become actively 10

A Larty frock for the social bud,

the picture above. But half it's charm
must be left to the imagination, since
it lies in combination Of colors. Deli

ception which it is an inspiration to

trives to be fairly full about the hips,
and very full about the ankles, by the
simple and lovely expedient of the
band of silver lace insertion set in,

piped at each side with cord, COW
cred with pink satin, and the net is
gathered to it. This allows the
fiounce to be much fuller than the up

the bottom with cord covered with
satin. Over this underskirt second

the airy fabrics that fashion approves
find expression in it.
The combination of blue and pink,
which is a French suggestion, is only
one of several combinations of color

After studying the displays Of ready

one is inclined to think that it is
waste of time and energy for the busy
mother to undertake the making or
It at home. In the little suits and

the styles are good, the materials eX-
cellent and tho workmanship satisfac-
tory. The prices are better than rea-
sonable; they are low. There is ecoa-
omy in making fine dresses, on which
hand embroidery and hand sewing are
used. but for garments that are to be
worn day in and out, the manufacturer
has met all requirements, including
low prices.

He left her and went into his room.
Immediately, before the defiant anger
had left her, she began hurriedly to
pack suitcase. She cast away con-
temptuously the few things her hus-
band had been able to buy for her,
and went out. Kane, in his room,
heard the door Of the hall slam behind
her.
Harvey Jerrold, the millionaire bro
ker. was quite willing to see his I'M
derpaid employee in his bachelor
apartment on the drive. He knew
why Kane had not been to the office
for three days. Edith had telephoned
him from her hotel the next morning
telling him about the quarrel. He had
wanted to go to her, but she had re-
out with Kane.
They had autoed together and dined
together, the man and has employees

worldliness, was prudent and, in a
way, honorable. She had held Jerrold
at arms length, a1sl, even when he
began to talk about her divorce she
had refused to let him embrace her.
Besides, as every woman knows, II
you really mean a man to marry you,
you must go about it with discretion.
And, though she cared nothing for
Jerrold, Edith Kane was resolved to
have the spending Of his millions.
Jerrold had been on pins and needles
because Kane did not appear. He had
even meditated going to him; there
fore, when Kane was announced by
the Japanese butler. he felt his heart
lean triumphantly. He had squared all
accounts with money. and he had no
doubt that he could square Kane in
the same way.
He stood in his room waiting for
him with an uneasy but yet confident
smile. And Kane wasted no time in
coming to the point.

Physicians recommend Emerald Oil:
