From Release.
Quarantine Against Cattle Fever Ia
Raised From Great Section
In the South.

Washington. d. Can order signed
by Secretary of Agriculture D. #.
Houston lifted on December l from
65,520 square miles In the Southern
states the federal quarantine against
movement of Southern cattle. 1t Is
of great Importance to cattle raisers
and dealers Of Northern states, as well
as those Of the South.
In regions infested by the cattle
tick 1t has not been held safe to I'M
port better stock for the Improvement
In Southern herds because cattle
freshly brought in from regions where
the tick is not prevalent are espe-
cially prone to sicken and die from
the fever germs carried by the blood
sucking parasite. The federal quar-
antine against the cattle tick, on the
other hand, has prevented the ship
! ment of cattle from infested sections
for use as stockers and feeders in free
territory, and permits their shipment
| into FEE territory only under quar-
antine restrictions and for immedi'
ate slaughter.
The release of December is the
largest amount of territory ever liber'
ated at one time since the federal
campaign against the cattle tick was
started in 1906, and, added to 5,2S4
square miles freed in March and Sep
tember, will make 1917 by far the
greatest year so far in the annihila
ton Of the tick.
Nine Southern states benefited By
the release order. The largest benei
ciary was Mississippi, which was en-
tirely freed from quarantine and open

Antitoxin in Diphtheria.
With the present knowledge of treat
ing diphtheria there should be no
deaths from this disease if the nature
of the ailment is discovered soon after
the clinical symptoms become mani
fest and antitoxin is freely used.
An impression prevails among
many people of the state that the use
of antitoxin in diphtheria often has a
depressing effect on the heart and is
consequently dangerous to the pa
tient. This erroneous opinion is often
fostered by some members of the med
ical profession, especially when they
have neglected or failed to use anti
toxin until the disease is far advanced.
In some few cases the physicians
have stated that the death was due to
heart failure as a result of administer
ing antitoxin. This is not true in any
| case. Either the physician was not
called early enough so that the anti
toxin could be administered in the
early stages Of the disease, or thru
| carelessness or neglect the physician
in attendance did not use antitoxin as
promptly as he should.
In every case of diphtheria antitoxin
should be used during the first day, il
possible. If this is done complete re.
covery can be assured in practically

Work of .Umpires Yesterday Placed In Disgusting Glass

It can be truthfully said that sell dom does a Birmingham newspaper criticize the work of the Southern league umpires. But there comes time when every rule must be broken for the work of Empires Kerin and Pfenninger yesterday is certainly open Tor vast amount of criticism from every angle
 The Barons were made the goat or every close play, The same has prevailed all the season. Pfenninger didn't have more than three plays close on the bases, and his work there was as bad as t could have been. Consequently, Dan didn't have a bad day.
 But Kerins work behind the bat was fierce. His decisions were the cause of dissatisfaction among play CTS throughout the first game. The Vols got some awful breaks" but they didn't come at a time when they held the ball game in balance. Kerin's decisions on balls and strikes was anything but right.
