ANTHRAX IN KAN.
One of Oldest Diseases in World
Found by Aggies.
Affects Both Man and Beast,
But in Different Way.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 23.-Cases
OF anthrax, a highly contagious and
often fatal disease to man and beast,
have been found among hogs and cat
tie in Kansas recently. The veteri-
nary division OF the agricultural col
lege investigated the disease among
cattle at Eudora and among hogs at
Ogden. Anthrax is sometimes called
wool sortcr's disease" or rag pick
er's disease Beasts are more sus-
ceptible to the disease than man.
In the case of beasts. anthrax takes
the intestinal form. Animals usually
die within twenty-four hours follow
ing infection. The disease takes the
skin form in man.. The victim be-
comes covered with malignant car
buncles. but seldom suffers from in
festival anthrax, since his food usually
is boiled. The disease, nevertheless,
frequently is fatal to man, tho not so
often as to beasts. Horses. sheep and
cattle are Jnost susceptible to the dis
ease, altfb cases are not uncommon
among dogs and swine.
Historians trace the disease of an
thrax back, to the dawn of written
records. Its ravages along the banks
of the Nile in the time of Moses are
recorded in the Bible. Homer de-
scribed a scourge of anthrax on the
plains of Troy. In 1870 an epidemic
of it levied a total of 10000 dead in
Naples

Grove said the party will encounter
numerous difficulties in cleaning up

were arrested. While en- route back
to Iron River Grove declared he and
his assistants were stopped by NJ. S.

Police Captain Claude Brown and
DEPUTY Sheriff Jesse Allen of Iron

credentials as a federal agent to Nc

route to Topeka. Kan. Upon being
of the conditions in Iron

was in full charge and could take
whatever steps he thought necessary
to see that the law was enforced.
However at first glance, this would
appear to be a matter for the state

decide, Palmer said.
The department of justice could act
only after a full investigation of the
facts had been made by the prohibi-
