QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Seventeen Cats

Neighbors keep no less than II or
10 cats. Most or all of the cats have
some disease which keeps them con-
stantly sneezing, coughing, with film
on their eyes and punches on their
faces and threats, yellow pus masses.
These people are members of a sect
and they do not believe disease &C.
ours and they will have no treatment.
A veterinary physician who saw these
cats said he believes they all have tu-
berculosis. What are the dangers, If
any, to human beings?-(Mrs. W..
H. W.
Answer-If it Is tuberculosis it is
the bovine type, which is not likely to
infect human adults but may infect
children. causing the bone and lymph

Spores of the mold attach them
selves to the damp paper, grow vigor-
ously, and generate gaseous form of
arsenic. That's how wall paper poi
soning happens.
Arsenic is an ingredient in many
wall papers, in the ink or color, es-
pecially in green papers.
Other members OF the girls family
were found to have traces of arsenic
in thier blood. but not enough to cause
any serious trouble. Just why the lit
tie girl absorbed and retained so much
of it the report of the case does not
make clear.
Pathologist of Cardiff infirmary
states that probably the flour paste
used for putting on the wall paper
served as medium for the growth of
the mold, which liberated the arsenic
as a gas.

Beer Versus Milk
What truth is there in the testi-
mony of an alleged expert before a
congressional committee that there is
almost as much energy in beer as in
good milk?-(H. M. d.
Answer - Approximately the same
amount Of truth in the assertion as
there is energy in beer. A man
couldn't drink the prodigious volume
Of beer (many gallons) he would re-
quire to furnish the energy for light
days work. The catch in the propa-
ganda is that little word ALMOST.
Fumes of Lime
Can you tell me if inhaling the
fumes of lime would be of benefit to
person with T. B.? A friend thinks
this Is helping him.-(Miss G. Ko
Answer-There is an old theory that
persons inhaling or ingesting consid-
cradle lime are less likely than others
to develop tuberculosis, or that per-
sons who have the disease do better
if they get more lime in one way or
another. I do not know any more
about it.

SCISSORS FALLS

On May 30, 1918, the German often
sive reached new height in a big
push which forced the allied rear
guards back to Vesilly and which en-
tailed the capture of Fere-en-Tarde-
nois. This brought heavy fighting up
to the outskirts of Rheims.
The road from scissors to Com
peigne was well guarded, but German
troops finally won through to the for
mer town on the road Soissons-Har-
tenneS.
Allied troops were comparatively
slow in backing up the line, but in
the three previous days they extended
the line of defense from IS to 60
miles.

". Y. Stocks
BY ELMER C. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Dec. 10. - The
stock market made a good showing
today until the last hour when SELL
ing broke out in United States
Steel common stock. It broke to
q new low on the movement, un-
settling the main body of stocks.
The early rally was not particu-
larly impressive. Volume was small
except in a few issues. Aviation
Corporation was the most active
issue on the board, rising to new
high for the year at 8B up Is.
United Aircraft was less active than
recently although it was among the
five most heavily traded issues.
Steel common was traded in
large amounts near the close. A
block of 5000 shares was sold at
80 and then the stock broke
through that figure where it was
supported in recent sessions. 1t
dipped toward 30 and the market
generally sold off with it. Steel
preferred followed the common
down.
Pool operators attacked the short
interest in Auburn Automobile and
sent the stock soaring to 53A, up
Az points. Allied Chemical jump
cd to 82A. up 2 points and a fair
number of other leaders made
gains of point or more. Late in
the day these advances were either
reduced considerably or wiped out
According to preliminary calcu-
lation, the Dow, Jones and COM

Pupils To Glue
Chamber Program,

The Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce is going to have a real
Christmas program at the lunch
con meeting on Wednesday, ac-
cording to Mark Munson, chairman

the puppet show dramatizing Die
kens' christmas Carol, will be

Munson states that others than
members of the chamber are well
come at this meeting and parents

PA[O
VERDES NOW

With sunshiny days again pre-
vailing, this is an ideal time to
plant palo verde trees, according
to Mrs. j. S. Jones, chairman of
the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce tree planting committee.
December paintings are very sue
cessful in Imperial Valley and trees
planted now have two months
period of growth to strengthen
them for the summer which is not
available when trees are planted
in the late winter or early spring.
Mrs. Jones has supply of palo
verde trees at her home at 600
sWensley avenue, and these are
available in varying sizes and at
very reasonable price to those who
call at this address any morning.
The chamber of commerce has ac-
cess to an unlimited supply of these
adaptable desert trees and urges
those who plan to beautify their
homes and the streets of the city
TO obtain the trees as soon as pos
sible and plant them along park
ways and sidewalks. AS the trees
are furnished with the idea of
beautifying the streets of the city,
it is urged that they be planted
only along the streets and that
those who desire trees for inside
grounds obtain them from a local
nursery.
