MAN DIES FROM BITE OF CAT
Aged Pennsylvania Farmer Takes Pas.
teur Treatment, but Hydro
phobia Comes.

Decentralization he had re-
ceived the Pasteur treatment in Mercy
hospital here, Levi Kurtz, aged sew
enty-one, a farmer of Enon Valley,
died Of hydrophobia in Providence
Hospital, Beaver Falls, from the bite
of cat which chung to him so tena-
ciously that it had to be hacked to
death to release the farmers hand.
Hearing a commOtion in his chicken
coop several weeks ago, Kurtz investi-
gated and found a cat chasing the
chickens. AS he tried to seize the ami
NAL it turned on him and sank it's teeth
deep in the flesh of his left hand. The
farmer struck the cat with his free
hand, but was unable to dislodge it.
Neighbors responded to call for help,
but they failed to force the animals
jaws apart until one man severed it's
head with an axe.
Kurtz, fearing hydrophobia, came
here and remained two weeks, taking
the Pasteur treatment. He was dis
charged, supposedly immune, at the
end Of that time.

GOES BACK TO ANCIENT DAYS
Expression Concerning Fires of Faith
and the Torch Of Religion Traced
to Fire Worshipers.

'My faith is like burning flame"
many martyr has said when he was
being sorely tried. 81 may carry the
torch Of the true religion forward" is
ar expression so often used that it
seems almost trite. Is it an accident
that many of the most fervent religious
phrases are connected in one way or
another with the fire-image?
One of the curious customs of Lithu-
ania gives a clew to the answer to
this question. Religion and faith are
expressed in fiery terms because most
of our ancestors were fire worshipers.
The tradition has outlived pagan
ism, has come into Christianity itself,

TAKE PRECAUTIONS
TO SAVE PORK CROP

Farmers are being urged to watch
out for ''sOre mouth or "infectiOus
canker," q disease which often plays
havoc with the spring pig crop. 1t is
prevalent disease, ard yet can be
prevented if proper care and precau-
tons are taken.
And this year, when the pigs can do
much toward bringing relief to take
care of the shortage of both meat and
fats, it is worth while to pay atten-
ton to the little things that often
cause great losses.
"'Sore mouth is commonly over
looked" says DR.. f. 3. Hadley of the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture, "be-
cause the mouth is the last part of the
pigs body that is suspected of being
the seat of disease. From the fact
that pigs take all sorts of things into
their mouths, it is not strange that
the germs which cause sore mouth are
frequently introduced, as they thrive
in the litter of pens and yards, and in
the soil.
THE germs enter the soft tissues Of
the mouth through the wounds of the
lips, gums, tongue and cheeks caused
by tooth-cutting or other injury"
The symptoms of 'Sore mouth" are,
according to Doctor Hadley, inability
to eat and nurse as usual; soreness
and swelling of the affected parts; I'LL
GERS or cankerS from the size of a pea
TO that of Il dime with dark red bOr-
derS and cheeSelike centerS; very
bad odor from the mouth, and blood
tinged saliva. Death may occur in
from TO 20 days from starvation or
blood poisoning. Milder cases result
in the pigs failing to thrive, conse-
quently they become stunted.
Disease Can Be Controlled.
"Treatment should be begun just as
soon as the disease is discovered. 1t
consists in carefully removing the
cheesy material from the mouth cam
kers and applying tincture or iodine.
Then the mouth is to be Syringed out
with a solution of potassium perman-
ganate made by diSSolving one ounce
of these crystals in two quarts Of
freshly boiled clean, warm water. Bad
cases should be treated twice a day,
all cases daily until healing has taken
place.
Every pig in the herd should be
caught and its mouth examined for
sores, even if apparently well, for the
disease is directly contagious from one
animal to another and indirectly
through the teats Of the SOW aud
