Foot and Mouth Cattle Disease Soon to be Solved Member of Banting Research Foundation Makes Pro. gress Toward Ways. of Curing Cattle Curse New and important findings in re- gard to the dread foot-and-mouth disease are reported by the Banting Research committee following two years of exhaustive study. Results of the study are made public in a pro- gress report ro-gress'report just issued by the com- mittee, which may be summarized - as follows: 'For years the foot-and-mouth dis- edse has been a source of bewildering loss to cattlemen not only on this continent but in Europe. Only a 'few years ago the British government car- ried on an extensive inquiry to deter- mine causes and find curative or re strictive methods. While making investigations it was discovered' that a peculiar•point about the disease was the occurrence of its characteristic lesions in the tongue and the pads of the feet of such ex- perimental animals as guinea pigs, no No Second -Hand Goods matter where the virus was injected.

The demure young bride, a trifle pale, her lips set in a tremulous senile, slowly stepped down the long church aisle, clinging to the arm of her father. As she reached the low platform be- fore the altar, her slippered foot brushed a potted flower, upsetting it., She looked at the spilled dirt gravely, and then raised her childlike eyes to the sedate face of the old minister. "That's a hell of a place to put a flower pot," she said. Not Up -to -Date be thrown on the cause and cure of the disease. The outstanding peculiar- ity in their estimation was that the hairy skin should be immune when the skin of the soles of the feet were dis- eased. While Dr. F. G. Batting was visit- ing England two years ago the facts disclosed by,the British inquiry were brought to his attention. On his re- turn to Canada he thought of an ex- perimental method which -might result in some revelation on the peculiarities of the disease. He interested Miss M. Cowan, a thoroughly trained research worker in the field of bacteriology, in the problem. 1VIise Cowan said that when the travelling salesman found himself mtiiy skin of guinea pigs was betas in a village hotel dining room when a formed to their feet, lesions continued heavy downpour of rain set in.

Pokoto (Eburech) station Saturday last on their way to the Russo -Man- churian front to investigate conditions. A Japanese correspondent With the party travelling on the international train described the sight and said that the heads were those of Chinese alleg- ed to have been decapitated for looting. The consuls hope to push as far -west as' Manchuli but the Chinese com- mander at Pokoto refused to guar- antee their safety beyond the Khingan mountain range. He agreed to permit the train to go forward to Meintuho for which the party started Saturday afternoon. The consuls were told that the Chinese front line was- withdrawn to that town, about' 75 miles southeast of Khailar. At Meintuho the consuls hope to be able to communicate with Russian authorities and to arrange to proceed to Manchuli over the railway which Soviet workmen have repaired.
