laws. which would establish uni

tent National Guard officers who

siders necessary.
II is my judgment that univer-
sal service only can provide
what the army experts state is
necessary. and the adoption OF
such plan at the earliest prae-
ticable date seems the only So
luton OF the problem.
The National Guard must be con.
tinued in existence until universal
service becomes reality. and I'M
questionably the majority OF quail

valuable asset in providing officers

Charlton May Not
Cause Swelling.

The first charbon case of the
season in a given community is
usually one of internal cbsrbon
caused by food or water that is
infected with germs of the dis.
ease. Unless the animal is un-
der very close observation no
preliminary symptoms are likely
to be noticed. The animal is
seized very suddenly with great
depression, the temperature rises
rapidly, the mucous membrane of
the eyes, nose and mouth are of
a dark red color, and the solid
and liquid excrements may have
blood stained appearance. AS
this form of charbon is found
most commonly in cattle, mis-
takes are often made in identifys
ing the disease; the hides are re-
moved and the carcasses are not
! destroyed as they should be.
| Under no conditions should the
hide of an animal be removed
during an outbreak of charbon
without first making a niscro-
scopic blood test for the charbf n
germs. Skinning a cbarbonous
! carcass not only spreads inf ,n-
| ton but endangers the life of y Q
person removing the hide.
| Many people hold the opinion
! that every case of charbon must
tshow an external swelling. This,
fhowever, is not the case. All
fsudden deaths Of animals, wheth.
( er there is swelling or not, dur.
ing the summer months should 20
considered suspicious of charbon
unless it is known definitely that
some other agency was the cause.
