pEPORTS are coming in
~ which indicate that possibly
an Increase IN epidemic menin-
gifts may occur IN the United
States.
The number Of reported cases
in 1912 is far ahead of those re-
ported in 1871 and nearly twice
those IN 1910.
We also hear that sporadic
cases have begun TO appear in
the army camps.
In World War 7 we never
were without meningitis IN the
army camps.
In 1917, when ! arrived az the
base hospital in San Antonio
for duty, ! took over a ward
which had 20 cases of epidemic
meningitis and during my two
year stay there We always had
one ward for these cases and we
never had less than three
patients. either active or con-
valeScent, and often We had as
many as 40
THERE are two encouraging
Il features of the possibility
of such an epidemic which should
be noted.
AS a matter Of fact, both Of
them are the result of ObserVa-
tions made during World War
i epidemicS.
First. the disease. If taken
early enough, can be treated
successfully.
In 1910. IS per cent of the
patients died.
From 1917 to 1919. the NOR
tally was less than ) per cent
due TO serum properly admins
tered.
Since then we now have the
sulfonamide drugs which have
proved successful adjuncts to
serum.
The second feature which
should be noted and which will
save a great deal Of morbidity
j. that people can learn 10 be on
the lookout for the disease and
detect il in an early stage.

This means that for 100 feet

In 1888 the public was prom
ised that in 1889 there would be
on the market a three-wheel
automobile selling for $3.50 that
would be capable of going 90
miles on a gallon of gasoline and
would have tires guaranteed to
last Us, 900 miles.
Whatever became of that car?

like that these days.

4-Yep, thar's cattle rustlers in
them thar hills pardner.
Maybe there isn't enough trou-
bic already with war on our
hands. Maybe food shortages and
several different kinds of ration
ing aren't giving West Coast
folks plenty to think about.
But no, some people have to

right on the spot and trucking it

A visit to any ranch will veri-

thievery--which the Old West
thought it had stamped out years
ago is on again and gaining
momentum.
MORE PEOPLE, LESS FOOD,
INCITES RUSTLING
For Coast cities, growing rap
idly in population under the inn
petus of war industry and ship
ping business, cattle rustling has
become a real problem. 1t is one
of the anacnronisms of the war
and is a direct product of I'M
equal ALLEGATION of foodstuffs in
congested areas.
A survey on several big
ranches 25 to 80 miles east of
the San Francisco Bay area
shows that few cattlemen have
escaped this revival of midnight
beef burgling.
AS they explain it, the original
rustling technique has been
modernized. Instead of invading
a grazing range and driving off
hundreds of head of cattle at a
time, as in the old days, modern
rustlers approach by light truck,
usually parking on or near a
main road adjacent to the ranch
they're going to work
A few choice head are quietly
separated from the herd and
guided to a spot in the field just
off the road from the parked
car. Here the slaughter takes
place.
Working swiftly and silently,
the thieves take only the usea-
BILE portions of the cattle, leav-
ing worthless residue behind, as
they roll away and lose them
selves in the traffic.
Cure for this rash of outlawry
is the same one cattlemen used

cowboy vigilantes, riding the
range with .30-.30 rifles on sad
die pommels ready for instant
