EPIDEMIC OF SEPTICAEnlIA
KILL, CATTLE

Several farmers in Morrison county
lost cattle last week as the result of
an epidemic Of hemorrhagic septi-
caemia. The epidemic also broke out
in Crow Wing county. On one farm
in Parkertown, five Of the held died.
DR.. J. H. Schmidt, local veterinarian,
was called out to several farms to treat
herds. Vaccination is said to be the
only preventive of the disease. The
presence of the disease in the animal is
frequently indicated by nose bleeding.
The disease is said to be caused by
the cattle drinking stagnant water.

|. Heretofore, the u. s. War Risk
Bureau handled compensations and in
surance claims, the U. s. Public Health
Service handled medical treatment, the
Federal Vocational Board handled vo-
cational education.
Each bureau worked independently.
Much of their work overlapped. There
was no single co-ordinating head. All
claims had to be- referred to headquar-
tiers at Washington with resulting de-
lay, confusion, and red tape. Many a
disabled buddy gave up in despair.
And all this time, the Legion was urg-
ing Congress to pass the Sweet Bill,
which would end these troubles. After
two years, Congress passed it. How
does the Sweet Bill affect the disabled

In many ways. Here ar the two most
important. The Sweet Bill has ANAL
gamated the three bureaus mentioned
above. They are one body, known as
"The Veterans Bureau" with one CO.

great victory was the clause in the
Sweet Bill which says that future
claims need not be sent all the way to
Washington for a decision. =, Awards

MANNEQUINS AND STYLES.

Du Barry. and others of their tribe
were frequently the arbiters of fash
ion. but it was as virtual consorts of
| the king that they exercised their au-
| thority in fashion. You might have
said that women's fashions emanated
| from the throne.
| Now. If you want to see the new
fashions. IL you want to see the modes
that break away from the old and
blaze the trail for the new. you must
| watch the mannequins in Paris. The
women Of position in France never. or
seldom. take up with the new modes
until they have been tried out. That
is why. though we know that long
skirts are coming and coming rapidly.
we see every day that the long skirts
are worn only by the mannequins.
and that the conservative women,
the women Of social distinction, wear
shorter. straight-line frocks.
1t is curious situation. OF course.
the real fact is that the mannequins
as individuals have nothing to do with
it. The dressmakers send them out,
dressed in clothes that are as yet re-
garded as extremes.
Just at present the skirt that decor
ously comes within two or three inch
es Of the ground and the sleeve that
covers the arm Is regarded as the ex-
treme, while the dress that shows the
calf Of the leg and the entire arm is
the socially elect. though they know
that before long they will be wear
ing the longer -skirted, longer -sleeved
mode.
1t is for this reason that we some
times receive divergent reports from
France. Those who have seen the
dressmakers' models at the races and
the others who are not unwilling to
exploit the new mode do not hesitate
to say that all Paris has taken to the
new long skirts and long sleeves.
While those who have met women of
ually Of social prominence. might
truthfully make the statement that
for daytime wear the short, straight
lined skirts were preferred.
Conservatism is just as much
characteristic Of fashion as f1ckle-
often unexpected and inexplicable. of
the women who ultimately dictate
fashion that causes the dressmakers
most anxiety. 1t was q fact that no
sane dressmaker would have Ques-
toned eight months ago that skirts
sleeves wider and longer. It would
have been folly. however, to have
launched this type Of frock at that
time.
The long. wide sleeve has been ac-
cepted more quickly than the long.

The sketch shows a frock Of this

indication Of what the designers think

sure sores." he said: Not that you've
got one yet" he added quickly, seeing
the woman's look Of alarm. But
you're thin, you know. and it's a
weary business lying in bed with a
splint on. So we shall just make a
littel ring Of COTTONWOOD to ease up the
pressure on this heel. And when your

The doctor was tying a thick piece
OF cetton batting into q small ring as
he spoke. He wound this with a piece
Of bandage. The result looked like a
big. white doughnut made Of cotton
wool.
Having rubbed the woman's heel
well with lotion he took from his
satchel. and which was very cooling
and smelled like witch hazel, he pow
dered the ring generously with stear-
ate Of zinc. then placed the woman's
heel in the ring.
Thus the weight of her foot eased
its pressure on her poor thin heel.
And the thing called a pressure sore
was avoided.
sometimes the elbows and even the
back OF your ears are troublesome
when you have to lie long in bed in
one position" he explained. "And
your back usually gives trouble at the
base of the spine. But we anticipated
that with that rubber air ring"
The woman smiled. '-rhe air ring

EMBROIDERY merely for the sake
l. of embroidery is passed and gone.
1t is a mark Of discrimination to
avoid the embroidered frock unless it
is we'll done. There have been too
many cheap limitations. too wide
a popularity for the bright colored
woolen embroideries on dark frocks.
But where q distinct effect can be
gained. where the embroidery is Of
real merit. then 1t is employed to ad-
vantage. There is q species Of glass
beaded frock that has worked itself
to the ground. You might have
thought that the difficulty Of wear
ing beaded frocks that had to be re-
paired frequently in order to keep the
beads in place would have kept them
from being the choice Of the many,
but there was something about them
that appealed strongly to women of

try roads with her larger dogs and
having a big flower garden for enter

tions with a suitable and not too re-

tention of the Secretary of the Treas
ury.
Miss Mellon has trained carefully
for social duties. She Is fond OF mu-
sic and the study of the languages.
Though she has formed no Definite

into line with other cabinet hostesses
