now know so much more than
ever before about these unseen
foes. called microbes or germs. In
other words, we now know more
about the natural law that gov.
ems their existence and especj-
ally their activities with respect
to ourselves.
Certain OF these germs cause
diseases in the lower animals,
which then communicate the
germs to US, often with disastrous
results.
There. is a disease that the
veterinarians call 'fu d u a n t
fever" which breeds in cows and
makes them abort their calves.
It can infect humans through
milk and will cause abortion in
women. It is quite common, for

the name implies, 1t keeps on
breaking out in wave-like attacks

Another herd disease Is para.

micro organism is the Gaertner
bacillus. This gets into the body
in meat, chiefly, especially mutt

sheep is much more s;rulent than
that which infects cattle. In some
parts of Europe the meal inspect

the cattle slaughtered are infected.
In a recent epidemic in Germany
it ran through half town and was
responsible for seVeral deaths. The
remedy Is efficient inspection OF
meat by the STATE of the medical
officer of health.
Tularemia is a continuous fever
lasting from one to seven weeks,
and causing with it pains in vari-
Gus parts of the body. In the
East (of the u. s. Al. it IS almost
entirely contracted from rabbits,
and most of the victims have been
handlers of rabbit carcaSses or
skins. Laboratory workers, who
use numbers of rabbits TO" expert

Of course, easier to remove when

the grease and dirt can be
scraped off with a duh knife and
the rest scrubbed off with a soft

sorbed by one or more applica-

HOUSE OR SPORTS DRESS
The WASHINGTON Times 15c Practical Pattern

This frock is quite practical
for wear about the house, yet
smart enough for tennis or golf
when warm weather necessitates
sleeveless frocks. Smart details
are featured in the pointed vestee,
the side pleated skirt and the
double belt effect. Note the
gathering under the yoke for
extra blouse fullness.
A striped percale, Bingham or
wash broadcloth are suitable
fabrics for the development Of
this dress. The linens are
shown in cleverly striped de-
signs for sports wear, gayly col
ored and in more somber tones,
as one wishes.
May be obtained in sizes IT,.
18, 20 to 40.
Size 20 requires 31z yards of
40-inch material.
This model is easy to make if
you use this pattern which is
individually hand-cut. A per-

anteed.

a minor you would undoubtedly
be returned to your home If you
left without the consent of your

Even though your mothers
temper Is not all it should be,
and your parents are strict with

If you were a stranger in n big

My suggestion is, stay where
you are for at least a few wears
