Sleepy Sickness.

Sleepy sickness Is quite a different
disease from the somewhat similarly
named, but far more deadly, sleeping
sickness, which is a tropical disease.
Sleepy sickness was first noticed In
England in 1918. There is little doubt
that the cause Of this mysterious com
paint is a microbc The microbes con
centrate their attack on the brain,
causing cthargy and facial paralysis,
the patient lying for days In bed with
motionless head and expreSsionless
face, like mask, reminding one of the
efligy on a tomb. Doctors are not yet
definitely agreed as to whether the hlc.
cough epidemic and the sleepy sickness
are different diseases, or whether the
one is merely n symptom Of the other.
Probably the latter view is the correct
one, seeing that violent and prolonged
hiccoughs we're noticed in connection
with the outbreak Of sleepy sickness
that ravaged Vienna IN the early part
OF last year,

Stops Private Practice


The paragraph in the Brigham order
which has practically eliminated all
veterinaries in private practice from
doing cattle testing reads as fol ows:
For animals reacting to a state
federal test, made under Section 500,
the state and federal government will
pay % OF the difference between the
salvage (what the carcasses of the
slaughtered cattle bring) and the APP
praised value, with a limit of $50
for each grade animal and 500 for
each pure bred animal You will note
that indemnity for animals reacting
to private tests is one half the amount
paid for animals reacting to statefed-
eral tests because there is no federal
indemnity for cattle reacitng to pri.
vate tests"
Since the utterance of this order
May 3lst private testing of cattle for
indemnity has practically stopped. as
no farmer is inclined to pay out his
good money for test and then take
one half the indemnity. This too, is
notwithstanding waiting list of ap
pal ing length being on file in the
office of the department
The explanation of the cal for ex-
animation of Vermont veterinaries is
that Dr.. DeFosset Cor his department

the closing hours and following many
other vetoes the Legislature disre-
garded the Governors objections it
will be able to comprehend the re-
suit.
II is apparent. however, that the
Governor. approaching the loyalty Of
the alumni and their. influence, must
have felt reluctant to oppose the
measure and did so only as he be-
lieved it his duty. At this time, when
alumni of our various institutions of
learning are answering appeals to
help their alma mater, attention is
called to the fact that most graduates
receive more than the equivalent of
their tuition. Their response at this
time is such as to warrant the con-
clusion. that these appeals draw
closer the bonds between the alumni
and the schools. Governor Baxter's
appeal to the alumni Of the U. of NJ.
may prove productive of advantage
to that institution.
