Apart from the bank debt, clauses in
the peace treaty show a burden OF
debt for German-Austria of some 4O,-

of the entire debt of the Austrian

STOCK BRAND MUST BE RE-
REGISTERED AFTER JULY

All stock brands in South Dakota
must be re-recorded after July lst, and
before January LIST, 1920 The brand
commission will send out notices to all
personsshaying registered brands, and if
they desire to continue, they will have
10 have them re-registered and pay fee
of fifty cents for each brand
The object in requiring re-recording,
is to clear the state record of thousands
of obsolete brands, some of which have
not been used for years, and to cut out
duplication. Some stockmen are using
brands veiy similar to brands belonging
to outfits that have been operating for
years, and when such stock is put on
the market, it is often held up waiting
until the ownership can be determined
No brands will be cancelled until
January lst, 1920, but parties having
brands they wish to protect, should at
tend to the matter Of getting them reg
stered as early as possible. Communi-
cations in regard to brands should be
addressed to State Brand Commission,

In one of the biggest municipal sani-
tarIums in the country it is found that
30 per cent of the cases of tuberculosis
treated since last January are due to the
lafter-eiiects OF influenza.
There is DO Intention of alarming un-
duly any person who has had the "hu"
and who considers himself happily re-
covered. 1t should be soberiy recog.
nized, however, that this disease tends
TO leave its victims unusually suscep
tible to certain other diseases for con
siderable time after apparent recovery.
tuberculosis is perhaps the foremost OF
these.
Medical men give warning that every
person who has had severe case OF
influenza be especially careful of his
strength for months afterward, and
should consult his physician regularly
so that if any sign of tuberculosis or
other ailment appears 1t may be checked
at once.
