CARE AND TREATMENT FOR
DISTEMPER

Owing to the contagious and IN
fections nature of Distemper, it is
absolutely necessary to isolate the
animal from all not affected, as the
germ is very yirulent.
Place in a pasture, where the all
imal can have no access to the drink
ing place where other animals water
Disinfect the feed box with Is per
cent solution of Beechwood Cresote
in water. Scatter lime all around
the stall where animal is quartered,
and do not allow other animals to
come near the diseased one.
Give the patient a Bran mash
once day, mixed with about a
quart Of Iinseed meal, as a laxative,
Avoid anything which would pro-
duce a drastic purging, as this
would weaken the animal beyond
endurance and will frequently kill
horse or mule, affected with distem-
per
Continue the linseed meal in
bran mash once day for four days
Wrap the animal each night in a
blanket, keep in warm dry stall
and if possible sprinkle the floor OF
the stall with pine shavings or pine
needles, as the fumes of these pine
products will have tendency to
allay the irritation of the air pas

PREVENTION IN EARLY
STAGES.
When the sub maxlllary glands
begin to intlame and swell, it is
best to have a veterinarian admin
ister trocar and drain the gland, in
order to check the infection and
prevent same from becoming sys-

After this stage has passed with
the trocar and draining, it is nec-
essary frequently to trocar and

if affection has progressed this far.
In the event that the lymphatic
glands and ducts have become at

frequently necessary to trocar and
drain the glands and ducts on the
hind legs also

.ary measures mentioned above will

give relief unless the coffee-colored
discharge has set in from the nos

put the animal out of its pain, than
to have it suffer further and posi-

| DISTEMPER NOT ONE DIS
EASE BUT A COMBINATION
OF INFECTIONS.
Because of the peculiar nature OF
the disorder known to science as
distemper, among horses, mules and
, dogs. it is much dreaded and where
symptoms are found, the greatest
care should be exercised to prevent
it's spread.
Being an affection of the mucous
membranes, in its earlier stages,
the slavers of an animal so afflicted
will spread the germs of the disease
Hitching posts, watering troughs,
feed boxes and hangers are the
breeding places for the germs which
spread distemper, and when one
animal of herd of carload develops
it, it alway follows that every ami
NAL that feeds, drinks and is quar-
tered in the same locality will be-
come infected with distemper
In its various stages, distemper
is called by many names, each in.
dicating the progress of the disease.
Strangles, one form Of the disease,
| is indicated when the animal lifts
it's head and seems to gasp for
breath, as if its throat latch or col
lar were too tight. This is caused
by the swelling Of the salivary and
sub maxillary glands, a fever sets
lin following the continued irritation
| to the mucous membranes of the air
passages, which weakens the animal
causing dropping, shaking Of the
head and shortness of breath. "
This IS commonly called shipping
fever, from the fact that so many
cases develop when animals are be-
ing transported for shipment, from
place to place

by a dry hacking cough, followed
by discharge from the nostrils and
the lips, that carries the germ OF
infection, This cough persists un-
til the lungs of the animal becomes
seriously affected, when a Shiny

nostrils.is apparent, at which stage,
the animal rarely ever reCovers.
SYSTEMIC EFFECT OF
DISTEMPER
After the mucous membranes be
come affected, the glands take up
the poisons with which tile blood is
impregnated and carry them into
the Emphatic system The glands
below the lower jaw, swell, as do
the thoroid glands. The Eustachean
tube becomes stopped up from the
swelling, and behind the foreleg the
lymphatic glands enlarge. AS the
disease progresses, every Emphatic
center becomes inflamed and en- en-
larged and a general swelling of the
glands, throughout the body is evil
dent.
This occasions a strainihg of the
limbs, by an animal so affected, a

BIG STRIKE; MANY RIOTS

Trouble at the port of Buenos
Aires. which started by holding up
an American ship for more than
month, eliminated in a widespread
strike and in rioting that cost many
lives. Union men attacked non
union laborers who were employed
TO unload ships. and the Labor Pro-
tective Association, which secured
the non-union men, complained that
the government did not furnish prop
er projections, The strikers tried to
make the strike general for the whole
country and succeed in tying up
many business concerns as well as Ar
gentine ships, but the government
took vigorous action in REFRESHING
communistic activities and the spread
of the strike was checked. Foreign
ship owners representing 400 vessels
threatened to boycott the port.

CONGRESSMAN KAHN
FOR PREPAREDNESS
Better 10 Spend Millions In Defense
Than To Spend Billions
In Enforced War.

Washington. June Or efutation
of the attacks of the Democratic
minority upon the Republican at
tempts TO supply an adequate army
are voiced by Representative Julius
Kahn, of California, chairman of the
House Committee on Military At
fairs. who forced thru the draft law
during the war when the Democratic
chairman failed to do so. He says:
81 have seen repeatedly conditions
similar to the one we are confronted
with at this time. When the nation
al defense act came up in 1916 and
some of us tried to put preparedness
provisions into the proposed law
Democratic members arose and ask
ed, Whom are you going to fight;
whom are you getting ready for?
There is no need to do this; there is
no need to prepare" And yet within
eight months we were in the World
War. That war, by reason of our
unpreparedness, in 10 months cost
the taxpayers of this country in
treasure alone $4,000, 900, 900. That
does not take into consideration the
lives of the men who were killed and
who died from disease; it does not
take into consideration the men who
gave their limbs and their blood for
their country; it does not take into
consideration the hundreds of
thousands of men who have had their
health impaired and who will be
nvalids for life
81 have often said that if Congress
had appropriated the enormous sum
of 50,O00,000 a year for prepared
less, il would have taken this cOun-
try $50 years to expend $24,000.00O,-
900 which we had to eXpend in 10
months of war. 1t seems to be that
II days Of peace it is far better to
keep our country measurably prepar-
ed by expending seven, eight or even
IN millions of dollars for prepared
ness than have to expend billions of
dollars in war because we are unpre-
pared"

STATION
CLOSES ACTIVE YEAR

Lexington, Ky, June 25.-Work
done during the past year by the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station has been more productive
than that done during any previous
year in the history of the Institution,
according to a statement made by
director Thomas P. Cooper, in con-
nection with the thirty-third annual
report of the station which is being
prepared for the year ending June
80, 1921. The report is virtually
completed, the data now being in the
process of being worked into shape
for final publication. More than 45
major lines of work dealing with
problems of Kentucky agriculture
were started during the year, the re-
port shows.

PIPE WATER 100 MILES

The city of Winnipeg grew to a
population Of about 100000 before it
had a regular water supply. The
water of the Red River of the North,
on which it is located, is not fit for
and even the wells which
were for a long time depended on
supplied water too hard for many
purposes. The city now receives an
ample supply of good water from the
Lake of Woods, which is partly in
the state of Minnesota.
A concrete aqueduct IL feet wide
on the inside was built from this lake
100 miles away. 1t is buried from
four to six feet underground on ac-
count of the cold, which is so great
- sometimes keep small service
mains frozen even in June and July.
In order to get clear water, river
pouring murky water into the arm
of the lake which was tapped was
turned aside by dixie and canal.

ed oats. mixed to form a thick mass.
The poultice is heated and applied d.
rectly TO the skin over the diseased
bone, the x-rRy being used for de-
termining the best point of attack and
for watching the results of the treat
ment.
The remedy has been thoroughly
tested in an experimental way on an
imals and ever on human subjects.
A committee Of physicians who close
ly watched results obtained with it
during a period of six months in a
hospital declared IL to be successful;
astemyelitis or running sores of
bones, 1t is asserted, have been COM
pletely healed.
Shortly after the mineral pOultice
IS applied an extraordinary discharge
of matter appears instead of the thin
transparent discharge that has per
sisted perhaps for years. This
copious flow of pus, blood etc, is
not unlike that from an abscess.
1t appears that by osmosis chemi-
cal ingredients of the poultice pass
thru the skin to the diseased bone
tissue. At the same time the corrupt
matter inside is drawn out thru the
skin. Medical men hail the discov-
cry of Pridham, who is a layman, as
valuable contribution to medical
science, boon to sufferers from
diseased bones and running sores
since It provides an effective, simple
non-surgical means for the restora-
ton of their health.

Every doctor who considered his
case found that the tuberculosis was
of service origin. that from the day
OF his discharge he was unable to

he done so he would have been en-

A NEW CURE FOR
BONE DISEASES

Among the diseases that have prac-
tically stumped the medical PROBES
sion are running sores OF bones. Usu-
ally such infections have been treat
ed surgically, the diseased, infected
bone and other tissue being cut and
scraped away and such things as 10
dine, iodoform, wax and transplanted
healthy bone being used to fill the
cavity. This method has not proven
satisfactory because it is practically
impossible to remove all OF the IN
lection by mechanical means.
Several years ago F. d. Pridham'
then 16 years old, suffered from a
bone infection of this kind. He acct
dentally discovered an effective rem
edy in a preparation used for tanning
hides. In this preparation the es-
sential agent for healing bone sores
is aluminium potassinum nitrate IL
is applied with sterile poultice made
OF kaolin, bark, sawdust or even roll

BAD TEETH AND DISEASE

Bad teeth, it is generally recogniz-
ed by the medical fraternity, are di-
rectly responsible in many instances
for various diseased conditions of the
body. 1t is estimated that rs per
cent of the persons taken to hospitals
FOR treatment are in need of dental
attention and that in 25 per cent of
these cases such attention would i'm
prove the general physical condition
of the patients. Hospital treatment,
it is believed, could be made ma
terially more effective by providing
for the treatment of bad teeth by
competent dental surgeons and by
training nurses to care properly for
patients teeth.
