THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURQ, PA. T KE COLUMBIAN. m.ooMSHURr,, pa. THURSDAY, DKCKMBKIt 17, l!08 APHTHOUS FEVER. Continued (roin Inst week. Vesicles or blisters appear upon the feet between the hoofs, espec ially at the front of the cleft; about toe coronary band, about the base ot the supernumerary hoof sand up on the heels. The vesicles upon the teats are more frequently seen about the orifice and may almost cover the teats, and sometimes oc cur on the skin of the udder. This condition causes much pain. The opening of the teat may be closed by infliiination and swelling resu!t ig from the eruption. Vesicles appear first as small elevations of the superficial layers of the mucous membrane or skin, from i to '3 inch in diameter: They are of grayish color. Vesicles may not become larger than or they may in crease in size to an inch or more in diameter, or several may become confluent and loosen and raise up an area several inches in diameter. Such extremely large blisters occur upon the tongue and muzzle. The vesicles contain at first a clear, straw colored strum which later becomes cloudy. The membrane covering: them is thin and soon breaks. When the vesicles break, the loosened epithelial or epidermal layer remains for a time attached at the borders, forming a pocket, and, as it tears more, the loose slueds ot membrane hang about the borders of the denuded area un til these become detached and fall away. Vesicks usually appear first in the mouth and almost simultan eously, or a few hours or a day later, on the feet and udder. Some times the vesiculation is observed in tut one location. Incattle.it is the mouth that is most likely to show lesions, while among sheep and hogs the lesions may be confin ed to the region of the feet. Ve sides may be few and small or they may be large and numerous. The resulting discomfort and constitu tional disturbances are usually in proportion to the extent of the pri mary eruption. The affected areas are exceedingly sensitive and painful. As the vesicles form, the fever abates and when the voides rup ;ure, the temperature falls to nea . :y rormalor quite to normal. The subsequent course of the disease is free from fever, unless there is very extensive local inflamation. Ve sicles rupture very soon after they arm, especially in the mouth, where the membrane covering them s softened by moisture and sus ains violence from the constant notion of the tongue, cheeks and ips. About the feet and upon the eats, the vesicles last longer. The econd stage lists one to three days. The prevention of foot and mouth lisease is a difficult matter on ac count of the virulence of the di- ase, the ease with which the con agion may be transported and the itality of the virus in the bodies f apparently recovered animals nd in places that have been cou .aminated by diseased animals. In former times, attempts to con rol the disease were regarded as lopeless and when Aphthous fever .ppeared in a locality it was the usiora of cattle owners to inoculate heir animals and put them through , he disease as quickly as possible. They simply accepted as inevitable he loss of a large part of the value f the herds aud flocks in infected egions. The methods of prevention that ;ave been practiced have consisted: .rst, in general restrictions on ;jade in animals of susceptible spec es and their products and the pro .ucts of farms in infested districts, Deafness Cannot Be Cured.

OS and the quarantine of infected herds and premises until danger shall have disappeared or, second, in the method now being practiced in Pennsylvania, consisting of the de struction of infected herds and the complete eradication, with the greatest attainable promptness, of all known centers of infection. The tr.ethcd of control by quaran tine has been practiced successfully in a number of instances. On the other hand, attempts to control foot and mouth disease by this method have often failed. It is exceedingly difficult to quarantine effectually against Aphthous fever, and to attempt to do so is to take great and unwarranted risks. It is necessary that such a quarantine shall be exceedingly rigid, that it shall be faithfully observed to the minutest particular, and that it shall be of long duration. Other wise, it is not effective, or sufficient to prevent the spread of disease. As long as premises are under quar antine on account of toot and incuth disease there can be no feel ing of security in the neighborhood, or even in distant places, on ac count of the remarkable facility with which this disease spreads. For these reasons, and as a result of considerable successful exper ience in the use of the "stamping out" method for the control of foot aud mouth disease, there has devel oped, in recent years, a strong sentiment in favor of the applica tion of the second method when the distribution of the disease is such as to denote that it may be successfully controlled and eradi cated by this means. The "'stamping-out" method was applied with complete success and at small cost, in proportion to the value of the work, in New England in 1902-3. If foot and mouth disease has been permitted to become very prevalent in a community, then it is not possible to eradicate it by the stamping out method, and the very long, troublesome and, in many respects, painful aud oppres sive method of controlling the dis ease by quarantine must be practic ed, tins means that the work would drag on and quarantine re strictions would have to be contin ued for years. The successful ap plication of the stamping out meth od, even at a very large cost,' is by far to be preferred. If the diseased herds are prompt ly slaughtered and the contaminat ed premises disinfected, quarantine regulations may be of relatively short duration. On the other hand, if the infected herds are held under quarantine for recovery, the pre mises they occupy are dangerous and may be a source from which the disease may spread for as long as six months, or perhaps longer, after the recovery of the diseased animals. Red Cross Christmas Stamp and its Meaning. What does the Red Cross Christ- mas stamp mean ? It means that vou are asked to spend one cent more on every Christmas present that vou send. It means that this tiny frac tion of money, multiplied by thou sands, will yield a noble sum for maintenance of a creat jvork nnm air day camps for the cvire of tub erculosis. It means that vou extend thp cir cle of your friendship until it em braces tne meudless, aud that your good will reach beyond the few whom you love to the many whom you are bidden to love. It means that the spirit of Christ mas stirs in the heart of Ch risteii. doin, and that you respond to this spirit ty linking your Christmas gifts with the cause of the naor nnrl the ill, with the work of wisdom ana ot mercy. AantU tl9 u I avB Always 3wgy LippincoU's anil Iho Now Year. In spite of the pinic of iqoS, th. publishers of J.ippincotf s Magazine assert that the past year was utieof the most srcce-sfid 111 that periodi cal's long hi-tory. Many good things have been secured for the coming twelvemonth, a partial an nouncement of which was published in the Deceniher number. The January issue has an attrac tive table of content, the lea ling feature of which is a complete novel. "The Flight of Robert Se vier," by Grace MacOowan Cooke, author of "Return," "The Grap ple," "Of the Lion's Breed," and other popular b oks. In this tale Mrs. Cooke has evolved a plot as original as it is fantastic. It deals with the doings of a young profes sor of chemistry, who discover a fluid which, when injected into the living body of a human being or an animal, enables that bodv to float through the air. Believing that his discovery should not be made pub lic before he has perfected it, he tries to conduct his experiments in secret. Then the trouble begins. Few more mirth-provoking yams have ever been presented, and he who can read it without laughing must be totally lacking in a sense of humor. There are some unusually good special articles, including one by George L. Knappon that great yet morbid genius Edgar Allan Poe, who was born just a hundred years ago. Harrison S. Morris writes on "Whistler," and Mrs. La Salle Corbell Pickett gives some interest ing reminiscences of her soldier husband, as well as of Generals Lee and Jackson, in a paper called "The January Generals." "Feed the Children." by Ellisp. Jones; "The Blind Spot" by Edwin L. Sabin, and other seasonable topics are en tertainingly discussed under the heading, "Wajs of the Hour." Among the shorter stories "The Green.Rootn," the second of a not able series of theatrical talcs by Will Levington Comfort, stands out prominently. "The Girl Who Forgot," by Eleanor Mercein Kel ley, is a story which the reader is not likely to forget. Other good ones are "The Turquoise Ring," by Karl von Kraft; "The Honor of the Chapter." by J. R. Fisher, and "The Woman Who Had No Needs," by Jane Iklfield. Some bright miscellany includes a very funny sketch on "Brains," by Thomas L. Masson, and that mine of amusement, "Walnuts and Wine." J.ippincott' s is plainly on the up-grade. A Great Sunday Newspaper. Do you read a Sunday newspa per? "The Philadelphia Press."

That the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will "loosen up" and spend five million dollars in damn ing the Juniata river, cutting away a mountain, and building a power plant for the electrification of the system at a point near Lewistown, is partly confirmed by practical railroad men who admit that with in the uext six years such a thing as a steam locomotive will not b seen on the Pennsylvania railro .d in this state. Tests were made in the vicinity cf Wilkes-Barre a few days ago with the Lehigh Valley's Strang gas electric motorcar, whhh is propelled by electricity and gaso line, the electric motor being the forward part of the car. The rest of the car is used for seating of passengers, while the rear end con tains an observation platform. It is claimed that this car in its test on the Lehigh Valley road averag ed fifty-seven miles an hour, and that even this speed can be exceeded.

Gates, the multimil lionaire steel magnate, who is now a resident of Texas, is a combina tion of several circuses and mena geries to compete with the big cir cus combine controlled by the Ringling Brothers. The shows that Mr. Gates is about to merge and finance with $5,000,000 capital are the Sells-Floto circus and the Ilag enback, Rhodo Roval and John Robinson shows. His purpose is to make the new combination the largest tented amusement enter price ever offered to the American public. A new scheme in robbery has been inaugurated. Over in Canton the other afternoon Mr. Harry Walters received an invitation through the mail for him and his wife to spend the evening at Jud son W. Stone's. Arriving at the Stone home it was found that no such invitation had been sent. On their return home they found that the rooais of their house had been ransacked, but not much plunder carried away. It will be well for others to profit by Mr. Walter's misfortune and bj on the lookout for such letters. EXECUTOR'S NOTICIC. SnlaU vf ilarv U. Welth, lata Orange tmrn hiy, iteifaffd.
