KISSING PUT UNDER BAN.
Forbidden In Hospital on Account oi
 Grip Epidemic.

St Louis. Jan. 19--A ban has been placed. on kissing at the City hospital by Superintendent Pringle between patients and relatives who visit them at the institution.

 Kissing on the brow or cheek is still permitted, although pr. Pring gle said he expects to extend the rule even to this form of occulation. Sev- eral hospital employees are also suffer ing from grip.

WICHITA CONTRACT
FOR HORSES LARGE.
Government Paying Out
$4,000 for Animals for
Army Service.

Special to The World.
WICHITA, Kan. July 25,-The
ouartermaster's department Of the
United States government inspected
another batch Of horses and mules At
the stockyards this week. No definite
Information could be obtained as TO
The number Of rejectons, but tho
rumor about the yards ran to the
effect that the inspection was liberal
Some of the horSemen are afralo
that since the probability of war with
Mexico has passed the demand for
horses will fall off and that the in
Specuon will become SO severe that II
Will be difficult to meet It. When
war is probable and the stuff is badly
needed the inspectors are easier.
Involves Large sum.
The present contract Is with the
Wichita Stockyards Horse & Mule
Auction Commission Co. and, II is
said, involves on the whole nearly
S15O,00O. The c. b. Team Mule com
pany declined to bid on account OF the
uncertainties arising out of the bust
ness IL the event that war would NOT
take place and that a consequent Sc
verify of inspection might leave a lot
of stuff on their hands. one Of the
firm said that in the event OF war y
horse contract would be n fine thing,
but that on the other hand, If the
probability of war ceased a govern
ment contract is no good.
The government also is hard
dealer from the financial viewpoint,
In the present contract, for Instance,
II holds back 10 per cent of the sale
price until the contract is completed.
In other words, the contractor does
not get any money at all for the first
$4,000 worth Of horses and mules
taken and will not until the entire
contract ic completed. Moreover a
bond of Sl50,000 is required from the
contractors. Under these circum-
stances il is difficult for firm not
having a very large surplus capital 10
meet the requirements Of the govern
mont. Fortunately in this case ample
arrangements have been completed
through Frank r. Ransom Of the
Stockyards Union National bank for
the financierinE of the enterprise.
The contract is for 2,0U0 light in-
fantrv horses, 1000 light cavalry
horses and 500 head of heavy mules.
So far the prices have been very
good, but if the war feeling continues
to decline it is believed that prices
will also drop, or. what is equivalent.
that better horses will be demanded
