ANTHRAX MENACE TO HEALTH OF LIVESTOCK Reports during the past year seem to indicate that the deadly disease, anthrax, is spreading anew, appear ing in freBli territories and in some cases causing severe losses. Livestock owners should familiar- i lie themselves with the character istics of this disease, for it not only | affects all farm animals, but human : beings as well. Cattle are its most frequent victims. If a steer is ! found dead in the pasture some morning, as though struck by light ning, anthrax may be cause. In its acute form, anthrax can kill an I animal in the twinkling of an eye, 1 without any previous evidence of illness. In other cases, it causes staggering, spasms, and stupor be fore death. If a! farm animal dies and anthrax is suspected, the car cass should not be opened, but a veterinarian should be called at once to determine the cause of death, and to protect the rest of the herd if this deadly disease proves to be present. Anthrax is caused by a germ which inhabits the soil, sometimes remaining in the ground for years, in the spore stage. It is most fre quently picked up by cattle grazing on overflow pastures, or on dry land after a drouth. Animals which have thus picked up the germ can readily pans it on to other animals throughout the farm. Human be ings can contract the disease In handling animals which have died mtimmiiiSMiisammiiimmsiimsm Deadly anthrax germs and blood cells, highly magnified. of It. This is why carcass dis posal in anthrax cases is generally a subject of official sanitary regu lations. In areas where anthrax is a threat, it is fortunately possible to immunize animals against this dis ease in advance of an outbreak. There are several types of effective vaccines which confer sound im munity, if given before the disease attacks. Released by O. 8.

DO THEY REALLY? “Ingratitude, Thau Marble-Hearted Fiend!” Trampling feet, the sound of drums, a voice of command—soldiers are marching by—a nation pays a debt to its dead, and does honor to their memory. Throughout the land, monuments serve to recall the valor of those distinguished heroes, the men “who never came back”. But the monuments alone are mute things; they cannot voice sufficient ly a nation’s feelings! it takes something external to do that. So on Memorial Day, year after year, the young who follow after the old who remained behind, offer tribute to our war dead in parades. Arm istice Day also we again publicly say “Thank you” and re-dedicate ourselves and our nation to the cause of world peace. It is necessary to give outward expression of our appreciation to our soldier dead, and it is also reasonable that we honor God in a manifest manner. He has been our lifelong guide and protector. Our trust in Him certainly has not been in vain. Instinct demands that our grati tude and honor to God should be expressed outwardly. It is not suf ficient merely to think of God. We have bodies too, that are as much dependent on Him as our minds. The body must cooperate in giving honor to God; it must help in ex pressing gratitude for the gifts He has given; it must show sentiments of sorrow when we have betrayed Him by sin. In the Catholic Church the Sac rifice of the Mass is one means whereby God is publicly, and, so to speak, officially honored. The priest offers this Sacrifice in the name of the people as their representative. Through the petitions he presents in their name, the people adore God, thank Him for favors received, ask Him for pardon for past of fenses and for new blessings. Through the Mass they express publicly the honor we owe to God, but St. Paul says: “By Him (Christ) we have access ... to the Father. Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and companions of God ... in whom you are also built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit” (Eph. 2, 18-22). In the Mass we believe that we continue the sacrifice of Christ Himself, the most acceptable sacri fice of the redemption in which we, as members of Christ, are permitted to join ourselves to Him. If you desire further information on the Sacrifice of the Mass, or have any question to ask about the Catholic Church, please write to: Catholic Information Society, 78(H) Kenrick Road, St. Louis, Mo.
