DISCUSSES THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE Acting Surgeon General White the Public Health Service Tells of Plague. of In view of the epizootic of foot and mouth disease in cattle in cer tain parts of California at the pres ent time ;ud the interference with travel and with the shipment of cer tain foodstuffs (including milk) as the result of the presence of this !i.ase, Acting Surgeon General White of the Public Health Service v;a asked to discuss foot and mouth diaeiEe from the viewpoint of itfl possible dang? to human beings. "The disease." Dr. White states, "is an acute, highly contagious mal ady affecting chiefly cloven-hoofed animal, such as cattle and sheep. Animals suffering from foot aira mouth disease have fever, followed by an eruption consisting of vesicles (email blister-like sores) occurring chiefly on the mucous membrane of the mouth and on the skin at the cleft of the hoof and less frequently on the udders nd other portions of coe sain. I here is usually prolonged ill lualth and much wasting of the tissues. "T';e germ which causes this dis-j From TimrFday's pally ease has not been Identified, but it is The members of the Woman's Re-1-nou n that it occurs particularly in ! lief Corps held a very pleasant keu the exudate from the vesicles, in thelsingtyn on Tuesday afternoon at the saliva, and in the milk of infected i home of Mrs. F.

It is re.idilv de- st roved by heat, such as or naatenritttkm miv the boiling "Adult human beings are not very apt to contrnct the disease, but it is byno means rare among children. "The fjuestion has been raised as to whether the disease in children known as "impetigo contagiosa" may not be i.lentical with foot and inouth disease in animals, but no one has an yet heon able to answer this question eithe in the affirmative or in uie negative. Foot and mouth disease is not very fatal in cattle, and apparently much less so in hu man beings. If :,t all. It does cause serious losses when cattle are infect ed, becau.se of the interference with the sale of milk, the reduction of the quantity of beef produced, and also on account of the expense and in convenience result ing from quaran tines against infected districts. Charles C. Parmele was among the visitors in Omaha today, where he was called to look after some mat ters of business for a short time. Mrs. E. W.

A protest forwarded to Represen tative OriSia, democrat, New York, said that delegates from locals along the Atlantic coast attended the meeting and were convinced that va.ious ill-advised and misguided re formers have initiated a vicious prop-ag.-uua to break down the drastic : ml wholesome provisions of the Vol stead act?" j Oeciaring that the object of bills to legalize beer have the "avowed object of encouraging the consump tiQH of the so-called lighter drinks to the detriment of whisky and oth-j lt alcoholic beverages." the petition said that enactment of 3tich legis-: 'ation would "undermine and per-; hapa utterly destroy an important in- j dustry which this union, with its af-! lil.ated locals has painstakingly built) up at a great risk of an immense apital. not to speak of the risk of personal liberty, many of our mem- ( hen having suffered jail sentences ;tnd the confiscation of their personal, property in the pursuit of their chos-J n calling." It has been the settled policy or the government to encourage and protect infant industries, the petition mid, adding that the bootlegging in lustrjr has shown sufficient evidence Of vitality to fall within this cate gory and consequently be entitled to the protection and support of the government.
