"All you say is quite true" said Mr..
Yak, "but there are more things to be
known about u.s."
Now, Mr.. and Mrs. Yak both wore
their hair hanging down from their
sides and hips and shoulders. They
had very, very long hair and sometimes
1t didn't look so very well brushed,
They wore long tails very like long
brushes.
"Our tails" said Mr.. Yak, "are some
times used for fly-snappers."
ooh, dear" said Mrs. Yak, "don't
let us think Of anything like that.
Where would we be without our
tails?"
"There are some creatures who don't
have tails" said Mr.. Yak. "People
never have them. We might try to
be like people,"
Now in some things Mrs. Yak was
far wiser and more sensible than Mr..
Yak.
"My DEAR she said, "people have
been born without tails for genera
tons and generations-as long as there
have been people. Now we have al
ways mad tails, and if we should lose
our tails, we would die"

our tails give US a fine, handsome
look"
Srhey do" agreed Mrs. Yak quickly,
for she didn't like to hear Mr.. Yak
say he thought it n good thing to have
their tails used for fy-snapRers. II
there was any fy-killing to be done,
she wanted to do it all and not just
lend her tail for the occasion, with
out her whole body.
Even though their hair looked as ii
il needed brushing, it was very, very
silky.

Mrs. Yak interrupted him. "Are
yo7, going mad, my dear? What dc
YOU mean? I ain afraid you have
been thinking with your tail lately
yes. thinking backwards"
"No, Pm not crazy" said MIR. Yak
"But a tale spelt in n fashion is
a story. and a tail spelt in another

bodies"
"Oh, now I see," said Mrs. Yak
'Pardon me for iLterrupting."
"Pardonedw said Mr.. Yak grandly
"Well, what I wanted to say is this

Mrs. Yak felt very vain and prout
TO hear this. Of course, Mr.. Yak wa:

know enough to appreciate lace as SHE
did. But when she had stopped think
ing about lace and talking to hersel1
about how beautiful she could make
people, she begged Mr.. Yak to tel
her more about their usefulness.
"We can be used for meat" he said
and Mrs. Yak almost tainted. Blu

which, if not remedied, checked, or pre-
vented, Will result in the curtailment
of production, despite all efforts that
may be made.
Diseases of swine may be claSsed
N two groups: (a) Ailments which
are not highly destructive and can be
treated as q rule by the farmer; (b)
highly destructive diseases, particu-
larry of infectious origin, which spread
rapidly and kill quickly, and to handle
them properly requires the co-opera-
ton of not only the farmers and stock
r~aisers, but federal and state officials.
In the first group which is not high
" destructive may be mentioned such
ailments and conditions as parasites,
both internal and external (wormS and
Tce) ; mango and other skin diseases;
tumorS and assesses; poisoning by
agents as caustic potash and mold in
garbage, cockleburr, cottonseed, etc.;
pneumonia ; thumps, or other digestive
disorders. These ailments as a rule
can be readily treated by efforts Of
the farmer himself, and the applica-
ton of home remedies often proves eff
fective liz their cure. Preventive meas
ures at all times should be observed,
such as proper housing and feeding,
sanitary conditions of yards and shell
ter, good clean drinking water, and
above all the elimination OF filthy
mudholeS.

Dublin. May 16 (Thursday).-At a
meeting Of As members of the Irish
party here today with the Irish ma
tionalist leader. John Dillon, presid-
ing. a statement was issued to the
effect that the bill for CONSUMPTION in
Ireland was adopted by parliament
largely under the impression that no
attempt would be made to use the
power until a responsible Irish gov
eminent and an Irish parliament
were called into existence. The latest
developments. however, lead to the
conviction. the statement says. that
the government has no intention of
producing any bill whatever, and that
all the promises made were uttered
simply for the purpose Of deceivtng
the house of commons. the British
public and above all the American
government. the American people and
the allied European nations, and Of
prejudicing the cause of Ireland in
their y
The statement goes on to say that
CONSUMPTION would be not only an
outrage Of national right but q breach
Of faith. The complaint is made that
British propaganda is creating preju-
dice against Ireland in America and
an appeal is made to the United States
to listen to 1reland's cas- Is stated
