my cases had meningitis due to the
entrance of the anthrax bacillus into
the meningeal covering Of the brain

always fatal and in any epidemic

tient, who is usually engaged in
handling wool, hides or hair Of some
kind, is seized with a chill, becomes
faint and Frustrated, has pains IN
the back of the legs and a fever OF
1O2 to 104. There is pain in the
chest and cough, and examination
by instruments of precision shows
that pneumonia has set in.
Treatment in the external form
of the disease consists in immediate
excision of the malignant pustule by
surgery and the use of serum, which
is fairly successful.
A curious form of the disease is
known as "rag picker's disease" but
with that profession going out OF
business it is not likely to be seen
very often.

however, that food which is usually

Is Per Cent
That the frequency Of the disease
is as high as the health reports sug-
gest is shown by the experience Of i
pathologist in st. Louis. This man
made a careful examination Of the
muscles of human bodies coming to
autopsy. In series of about / 800
he has found an incidence of some
thing like 16 per cent.
The symptoms of the disease may
vary. One of the very common
manifestations is swelling Of the
eyelids and of the whole face. The
pain in the muscles may be very
severe. There are no known means
of killing the parasites once they
have invaded the muscles. The SAT.
est method Of dealing with the stu
alton is to be sure to eat nothing but
cooked meat.

fuller understanding Of it's nature
now obtains than formerly. The
differentiation of the various kinds
OF epilepsy is on much firmer ground
and many cases that would have
been classed as epilepsy in other

S. M: "(1) Exactly what are inn
pacted wisdom teeth? (2) / read
having them removed is a major
operation. Is this true? 81 Is it
true that a wisdom tooth has no
root?"
Answer-(1) The wisdom teeth
are likely to grow in somewhat
crooked, not crown outward. If they
get caught or. jammed against the
neighboring tooth in the period Of
eruption, this is called "impacted."
(2) Removal of an impacted wisdom
tooth is often extremely intricate
and may require an operation which
could be called major. (3) Wisdom
teeth do have roots.

THE United States Public Health
Service made an astonishing state
ment when it said that there are
100000 people in the United
States infected with trichinae.
This disease is due to the entrance
into the body of a small worm, the
trichinella spiralis. The entrance is
made through the digestive canal;
the trichinella enters imbedded in
food. The food most frequently re-
sponsible is the flesh of pigs but
beef can also be responsible.
In all animals, after the worm en-
tiers the intestine it makes it's way
through the blood stream to the
muscles and there coils up. It is
the presence of the worms in the
muscles which causes the principal

This name was attached to it be-
cause it was formerly very common
in sheep and a wool sorter inhaling
the dust from the wool would ac-

Pasteur's Experiment
Anthrax was the subject of the
famous experiment performed by
Pasteur when he proved that inocu-
lations with a vaccine would pre-
vent an infectious disease in an in
fected herd of sheep.
Today the disease is much more
prevalent in Asia than in America.
It's ravages among herds OF cattle
in Russian Siberia are not equalled
by any other animal plague. In
Great Britain cases of anthrax oc-
cur frequently in leather workers
due to the handling of Chinese or
East Indian goods.
There are two forms of the dis
ease in man. One, the external
form, is similar to my cases in the
army. The germ enters small cut
in the skin. After the incubation
period of one to three days, there
forms a small red pimple which
eventually ulcerates on top. 1t has
an unforgettable purplish, crater
shaped appearance. 1t is techni-
cally called the malignant pustule. :"

DURING the World War, when l
was an army physician, ! saw my
first cases of anthrax. They con-
sisted of an ulcer on the chin and
were traced to the use of shaving
brushes which were infected with
the disease.
I noted with interest, therefore,
that an epidemic of anthrax about
a month ago in North Dakota was
traced to a lot of infected imported
shaving brushes.
Anthrax is an extremely danger

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

M. F.: "Is yellow mercuric oxide
safe to use on eyelashes to promote
their growth? Would it help falling
lashes?"
Answer-The ointment of yellow
mercuric oxide in two per cent
strength is used as an antiseptic in
the eye. If the falling lashes are
due to infection, this will help them,
but it does not of itself stimulate
growth of lashes.

RADIANT LIVING
Thieves from Jericho
By Rev. C. M. Griffeth
nnAI.4 Climax.
Pastor Methodist Church
Ridgely, Md.

Rldgely, Md.
What tragedy happened to that
man who "went down from Jerusalem
to Jericho and fell among thieves"
"They stripped him of his raiment," !"
Jesus tells us, "and wounded him, and
left him half dead"
Are not Jesus words descriptive
of the tragedy that happens when. a
spiritual consecrated man of God slips
away from his holy living and grad
ually sinks into life Of sinful, selfish
living? Such a man truely leaves
Jerusalem" and "goes down to Jeri-
cho."
Jerusalem" meaning Getty of
peace" symbolizes an uselfish life
centered in a devout love for God,
spiritual in character, moral in tone,
and holy in atmosphere.
"Jericho," on the other hand, means
fragrance" It was city of the
valley, a place of palms, luxury, and
vice. It symbolizes goddess life
that exists only for sensuous pleasure.
One could not leave Jerusalem, sit
uated as it was on mountains height
typical of high spiritual life, and
start for Jericho in the valley, with
out going "down". Any departure
from Jerusalem is down.
And, along the way to Jericho, there
lurk the seven thieves Of Satan. There
is, for instance, their chief, pompous
Selflove. There is his buddy, wrink-
led-face Moneylust. There is nervous
Funcraze, an old fat Easedesire. There
is crafty Compromise, Weakwilled
Neglect, and easygoing Putitoff.
These thieves are ruthless Williams.
Any one of them is capable Of strip
ping you of every spiritual garment
that you possess. Any one of them
can give you such wound in the spir-
it as to incapacitate you for any fur
ther Christian service. Any one of
them, by Staying your spiritual life,
will leave you "half dead"-only the
physical being left.
The best way to avoid the thieves
along the Jericho road is to stay in
Jerusalem.

Answer - What would be more
lovely than set of bath towels with
your friends new initials mono
grammed in the modern manner?
The new bathroom sets are so smart
and unusual and may be purchased
to match any color scheme. But in
stead of the usual fancy capitals in
the Old English style, use the plain
lower-case initials and have all three
initials of your friends new name
stamped on the towels. Work them
solidly in one shade, then outline
them with small neat stitches in a
contrasting color. For instance, SOL
idly embroidered initials in a deep
bright blue outlined in a rich Bur-
gundy would be just the thing in a
e-and-white bathroom.

CHESTERTOWN MAYOR
CALLS ATTENTION TO DOGS

There is apparently determined
effort on the part of the County Com
missioners to enforce the collection
of dog taxes throughout the county
under the special dog law passed by
the Legislature a number of years
ago. This law provides that all dog
owners shall pay a license fee for
every dog owned with the exception
that kennel license may be taken
out by an owner of a keeper of a
number of dogs.
The fees collected from dog licen-
ses are used to reimburse farmers fol-
animals and poultry killed by dogs
each owner having to produce witness
es who take oath that they actually
saw dog or dogs do the killing. Al
the present time there are claims in
the office of the County Commission
ers amounting to $565.75 which rep.
resents the value of the poultry anG
farm stock killed.
The Mayor and Council of Ches.
tertown recently called the attention
of the Commissioners to the number
of stray dogs in that town without
the dog license tag. It is also under
stood that a group of dog owners ir
the county, who annually pay the Ii
cense fee, have protested against the
