TO STOP EPIDEMIG

State Board of Health to Appoint a Force of Veterinarians to Aid In Stamping Out Hoof and

Mouth Disease.

Drastic measures are' being adopted to stamp out the epidemic of hoof and mouth disease, which has spread to several states and has been found in fourteen counties of this state, according to report. Strict quarantines have been established and stock not affected are guarded in many places and dogs killed and hunting forbidden. It is claimed that the disease germs can be carried on the shoes of hunters and feet of dogs.

The Indianapolis health authorities have taken action to prevent the possibility of the milk supply of the city becoming affected by barring the importation of milk from counties other than Marion.

The state authorities will send a letter to each county health com^ missioner. in which the danger to human beings will be set out. It is claimed that while the disease is primarily confined to clovcn footed animals, it is communicable to human beings.

Governor Ralston has assured the veterinarian that he will support him in almost any drastic rneasuic he finds necessary to combat the contagion and he will appoint seventy-eight deputies over the state to help in watching for and stamping out the disease.

Farmers will be asked to help in preventing the spread of the disease by refraining from visiting and by keeping neighbors away from their farms and also by keeping hunters and dogs away. In many counties where the disease has made its appearance, armed guards are kept with the herds of cattle t.ot afTecitil.

Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Slifer, who left for Phoenix, Arizona, a few days ago, write friends in this city that they are now very pleasantly located in Phoenix. They had a most delightful trip and are well pleased with the climate and their location.

Harold Morton Kramer will lecture at the Mt. Comfort church next Friday night under the auspices of the Standard Bearers class of the Mt. Comfort Sunday school. This is the first of a series of lectures.

Members of the commission today, in reviewing ttfl history of 1914, which has marked many advances against this common foe of mankind, pointed to an aroused public sentiment in many Hoosier counties. In Terre Haute, the work of Twin Hills, a summer colony for victims of the "white plague," has been extended to cover visiting nursing and educational work the year round. In Marion county a tax levy for tuberculosis hospital purposes has been made. The same is true in Madison, Howard, Allen and other Indiana counties.

In Evansville the work of Boehne farm for tuberculosis patients is being extended. In New Albany the public is rallying to the standard of the double barred red cross in an effort to establish a Floyd county tuberculosis hospital. In Logansport, Peru, Anderson, Richmond, Martinsville, Jeffersonville and other Hoosier cities, visiting nurses are proving a great educational factor in the crusade against consumption.

All of these public agencies are financed through Red Cross seal money. The Indiana Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis with which is affiliated three score antituberculosis agencies in Indiana, carries on the year round a statewide campaign of publicity and education. For the reason that rea.1 good is being accomplished through the careful expenditure of the money derived through the Red Cross seal, the commission is appealing to the people of Indiana for larger purchases this year than ever before. Let every piece of mail handled in Indiana postoffices this December bear a Red Cross Seal.

Sues For Legal Separation. Rilla M. Rockey has filed suit for a divorce from William Rockey, alleging that the defendant was found guilty in the Hancock circuit court, on October 26th, of larceny and was sentenced to the reformatory at Jeffersonville for a term of one to fourteen years. They were married, according to the complaint, on April 8, 1909, and separated on the last day of July of this year. |ff§
