Saturdays Mystery Solution

TT WAS the thick spcctacles that frat
L indicated to Harvey Hunt. in the
case of Fooled Camouilage," that old
death.
Harvey Hunt and his friend Evon
had found the old mans body seatcd in
an easy chair, n ncwspaper in hands
which apparently he had been reading.
The spectacles Harvey Hunt found on
the telephone table at the other side of
the room. They were very thick spec-
taclcS. and Evan declared that he had
never seen the old man before without
them.
No man who wore such thick spec.
tacIcs, Harvey Hunt knew. could read
n newspaper without them. Hence he
came TO the conclusion that Linkman
had been killed. and that his murdcrers
in the attempt to make his death look
natural, had staged the scene, placing
the body in the chair. 1t was the finish
ing realistic touch Of placing the news
paper in the hands Of man who could
not read without his glasses that proved
their undoing.

G. p. Fitch, University Farm, st. Paul.
In q paper reprinted from the annual

which causes the disease Is Of special
interest by reason Of its effect Oh
swine, 1t also affects other domestic
animals. It is found chiefly in Nth.
and the prevention Of necrobacillosis,
according to Doctor Fitch, must be
based on cleanliness. Pig pens, he
says. should be cleaned daily and the
door sprinkled with three per cent So

The manure, especially from affected
animals. should not be spread on pas

to the control is prevention based es-
