production OH war beer" until the
courts have passed upon the claim
of the United States Brewers asso-
citation that the beverage, containing
Q ga per cent alcohol is non-intoxi
eating, was assured today when Fed
erai Judge Mayer granted an injunc'
ton restraining government interfer-
once with its manufacture.
The court declared that his de-
cisicn had been influenced by Presi-
dent Wilson's message to congress
recommending repeal of the wartime
prohibition act, in so far as it relat-
es to beer and win, and by Federal
Judge A. ~ Hands ruling last week
that the law placed a ban on the
manufacture only on liquors that were
in fact, Intoxicating.
Although United States District At

eminent, opposed granting an in
junction, Judge Mayer said he belly
ed such action would contribute to {

by the brewers under the emergenc!
prohibition act. The injunction, ;
temporary one, would be effective

PICTURES FORD
 4 GENTLE SOUL;
 NE LOVED BIRDS

Mount Clemens, Mich. Aug. D. Strong disclaimer that there was anything anarchistic in the utter ances of Henry Ford, who is suing the Chicago Daily Tribune for s1,O0,- 900 damaGes on a charge of libel, was made today by Attorney Neil D. Reid, his counsel.
 Attorney Reid took three articles by Ford introduced by the Tribune and argued that they contained only the sentiuI ents of a Christian gentle man with a horror of war.
 The lawyer pictured MT. Ford as a kindly man with a love of birds and trees and his fellowmen-one whose life ambition was to leave the world better and happier place to live in than he found 1t, yet one who, when his country was at war, devoted every energy, and every resource to answer his country's need.
 William T. Hosner for the Tribune, replied:
 If Henry Ford had remained in the field where he made so conspicu- ous a success there would have been no lawsuit. As a manufacturer he renders a great service to the coun- try. Along In 1916 he made a terrible mistake. when he concluded to leave the field which he ornamented for an arena where he did not belong, to pose as an educator"

VOODOO CULT IS TERROR OF CUBA:
 3 CHILDREN DIE
Parents Fear Children Will
 Be Spirited Away and Sacrificed.

Havana, Cuba, July 22.-With the recent sudden outbreak of cannibal- istic practices by voodoo worshippers, which have resulted in the deaths of at least three innocent children and half dozen of the Voodoos, the lat ter by the application of lynch law for the first time in this country's s history. fathers and mothers are liv- ing in constant fear that their little ones may be spirited away by the suEerstitious negroes to be offered up in sacrifice to "Chango," the God of the "Bru;Gs," as they are called in the C@stillian language.
 The Voodoos are divided in various sects each with it's separate god. The latter include "Babagueye," god of sickness; "Elecua," god of injury; "Olorrun," god of misery, and "Chango," the terrible god, 10 whom human sacrifices are made.
 "Chango." according to the Voodoo belief. was the son of Olorrun and An aragua. He was slain by Elecua, the god of injury" and ascended into Heaven from a ceiba, or god tree, in the month of May. It is in tAe month of May, therefore, that the 'Brujos" observe their holy week, when Chan go'' is expected to make a weekly visit to the earth, descending by the ceiba, his sacred tree, always on Monday.
 The followers of Elecua do not di- rectly offer human sacrifices, although their headers sacrifice the lives of some patients by giving them poison ous connections, supposedly a myste- rious cure for some ailment, in order to restore the health of some good patient Elecua being the god of in jury" his followers believe that good can come to one person only through injury to another.
 Voodooism is not practiced by the negroes alone. Many white persons are also said to secretly take part in their religious meetings, and accusa- tons have been heard in various quarters of the difficulties encounter ed by officers seeking to break up their temples because of obstacles paced in their way by persons of influence.
 An active campaign by the author ftfes in Havana and other parts Of the island have resulted in the cap ture of numerous ''Brujos' and the seizure of many surious and wierd ob- jects used by them.

Old Time Boxers

 Contracts for Bouts

In the days prior to the proclama- ton of one Marquis of Queensberry when fighting was unmittigated (some pun) the contracts were writ ten somewhat differently than the re- cent covenant of Toledo. To sustain this contention we give herewith the contract between Richard Humphries and Daniel Mendoza, two fighting celebrities of their time:
 White Hart Tavern,
 "Abchurch Lane,
 November 26, 17S8. "Mr. Mendoza proposes to fight MT. Humphries upon the turf in a space of forty-eight feet square.
 "If either person falls without re- ceivtng a blow he is to lose the bat tie, unless such fall should be deemed by the umptres accidental.
 ''If the ring should be broken in upon, the man who leaves the field before the battle is decided by the umpires shall be deemed the loser.
 Each party to deposit in the hands of a person appointed by both the men the sum of two hundred pounds. the whole of which is to be given to the winner
 That no person be admitted to see the fight without paying.
 'The place of fighting to be en- closed in the strongest manner at the joint expense of both parties.
 That no person shall be admitted within the place of fighting but the umpires and the seconds.
 That both the seconds, imme- diate1y at the setting to of the par ties, shall retire to one of the four corners of the enclosure till one of the combatants is done.
 That the place shall be at the op- ton of MT. Humphries, who agrees to give one months notice where it is to be to MT. Mendoza; the time, the first Wednesday in the month of May 1789, between the hours of 12 and 2, and that the money collected from the spectators be equally divided. ''To all these propositions MT. Hum phries accedes, and each party de- posits twenty pounds in the hands of MT. Thomas Hotchlkiss, who is here by authorized to give the whole to either party if the other refuses his performance to this agreement

DISEASE APPEARS THREATENING TO
 BLIND CATTLE
300 Head Stricken in Seven Towns-Farmers Warned to Watch For Weep
 ing Eyes.

Outbreak of a highly contagious eye disease threatening blindness to cattle has been reported to Deputy Commis- sioner of Domestic Animals Charles l.. Colton from West Suffolk, East Granby, Granby, Windsor, Lebanon are affected. Farmers are being warned not to buy, or sell, cattle with weeping eyes.
 Technically, the disease is known as contagious conjunctivitis, epozootic keratitis, keratitis contagioso, and, in the West, as stack disease" It should not be confounded with fre- puent attacks of pinkeye, more or less prevalent among cattle during the summer months.
 Symptoms of the disease begin with lachrymati tion in either or both eyes, becoming more profuse with pus, puff fly swelling of the lids, inflammation of the membranes surrounding the eyes, extending in extreme cases to the eyeball iaself, which at first as sumes a milky appearance. 1nfiam- matory products gradually streak it until the eye presents an agate-like appearance. Opacity increases until total blindness appears. According to Commissioner Cotton, inflammation and swelling may continue until the
  comes necessary.
 The condition Is very contagious and seems to bee arried by flies from one cow to another. The commis- sioner is recommending to farmers that in the event of the disease ap- bearing in any COW of their herds, the affected cow be immediately iso- lated and every COW in the herd treated. Conhning the cows in the barn during the day and turning them out at night will be found bene- fcial, he says. As a preventative, he recommends an aplication of per cet. argyrol morning and night, or a 10 per cent. application once day for uninfected cases.
 Owing to the peculiarity of the dis ease, cows may become permanently blind in one or both eys and recover complete sight in three weeks to three months, or may remain perma- nently blind. Treatment by veteri- narians is advised for cattle known to be actually infected.
