tact such as kissing.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.—Com-
merce between the United Stales and
Norway, Sweden and Denmark, in
products and re-exportation ot whl< u
has been prohibited by the latter
three countries has been safeguard-
ed against delays and mlsunders aml-
lngs. Secretary Bryan and Sir Ce-
cil Spring-Kice, the British ambassa-
dor, aunouhced today that orders
hiive been given not to interfere W illi
such cargoes when consigned to spe- 1
cilic person or company in neutral
countries.
Secretary Bryan said he hoped to
have the same arrangement applied
socn to Italy, Switzerland and other
neutral countries. Great Britain
hitherto has detaiued .cargo' s con
signed mere "to order" on the sus-
picion that even though destined to
.t neutral country they were in roaT-
lty to be trans-shipped to a betlgei
ent country. When each shipment
has a specific consignee, British cru-
; ers will merely examine the pa-
pers of a neutral sltip as is custom-
it i y, and not delay her voyage unless
she is engaged in some unneutral ae-,
tivity.
CAItE AMI PKKVIATION Ol
FOOT AMI MOUTH DISK \SK
Practically all of the milk sold
outside of the very largest cities Is
raw. Now with the cattle epidemic
sweeping the country there is some
reason why people should read of the
svmptoms of foot and mouth disease
in human beings.
From three to ten days after ex-
posure the infected person is attack-
ed by chill followed by general ach-
ing. The fever goes to about 102.
There is vomiting and diarrhoea.
About three days after the beginning
of the fever the mouth becomes in-
flamed.
The most frequent affection in the
mouth is a crop of small clear Mi
ters. These appear on the inside of
the lips and cheeks, on the gums and
tongue. They seldom appear on the
hard or soft pallate.
In most cases the crop of blisters
is preceded by a fall in the fever. If
the fever keeps up it is a siisn that a
second or even third croj> of bli: ' t
will follow, coining at Intervals of
three to four days
The worst epidemic of th Toot
and mouth disea t on r< cord v. si i one
occurin". in Berlin. In that epidemic
there was much swelling of the gums
->nd the tongue swelled o as to pro-
trude from the m,outti. Many of the
cases of that epidemic died as tlie
result of pneumonia, Bright's di-
sease, and extreme wasting.
To prevent the disease from
spreading the following procedures
should be followed:
All infected and exposed cows
hould be quarantined.
All Infected people should be quar-
antined.
All milk from sick cows should be
destroyed.
The general milk supply should
be thoroughly pasteurized.
bhoulil be thoroughly pasteurized.
These are provisions of the Ger-
man law. That law does not require
that butter from infected animals
should be from pasteurized milk. In
this the law Is believed faulty.
It is generally agreed that the di-
sease may be dangerous, especially to
children. An infectel person may

Cherokee county sportsmen are
making preparations for a big time
Monday, at which time the season Is
open for back deer, turkey and
quail.
The fellow - with the bird dog is
giving extra attention to him this
week and many are seen hurrying
to the outskirts of the city where the
dogs are given an opportunity to
keen up their sense of scent and lo-
cate th'' nearby covies as preliminary
work for an early morning charge
Monday. Ammunition dealers report
a heavy trade on hunters' supplies
of all kind and the approaching sea-
son promises to be a very active one.
A number, from the rural distVlcts
report having seen several buck m
various sections of the county and
"will, no doubt, arrange for a slaugh-
ter of a few venison, so if you are
particularly fond of this variety of
flesh it might behoove you to make
your arrangements in advance for a
rib or two.
Before you start out hunting be
sure you have your hunting license
in your pocket, as by so doing you
might save yourself considerable In-
convenience when stopped by one of
the various game wardens.

HUMPHREYS
ITHURSDAV. 26TN,
THANKSGIVING DAY
Amid the trivial trials and trifling
troubles of our municipal extstance,
there breathes the spirit and shines
the lif-ht of a Providence, that en-
ables the people of Tahlequah to re-
joice in a feast of thanksgiving, in
the celebration of such a day, there
are associated stories of festivals
and thanksgivings that take us back
to the days of long ago; to the days
of Governor Bradford, John Alden,
Priscilla Molone and Miles Standish;
to the days of Massasouit, I'ontlac
and Pocahontas, when deep souled,
earnest thanksgiving in simplicity
ascended to the Great Spirit.
The year's bountiful harvests have
been garnered, peace reigns thruout
this good land and there are many-
evidences of growing prosperity,
both spiritual and material. It be-
comes a gratsful people to face the
front and render thanks to Htm
whose blessings sweeten and enrich
our lives.
1 therefore recommend, In view of
a long established custom and ac-
cording to the proclamation of His
Excellency, Woodrow Wilson, Presi-
dent of the United States, that Thurs-
day, the 2(>th day of November 1914,
be observed by all the people of our
city as a day of Thanksgiving and
that they refrain from pursuing their
usual avocations and assemble In
their respective places of worship
and offer thanks to the Supreme
Ruler of the Cniverse for blessings
bestowed upon us during the past
year. >
May our thankfulness be shown by
aiding in providing for the poor and
less fortunate, that they too, may re-
joice, be glad and give thanks on
that day.
Given under my hand and seal of
the City of Tahlequah on this the
9th day of November 1914.

Mayor.
