The fire endangered the property of Paul Chase and John Wilcox, but no damage was done to When firemen answered the sec-- ond call which was to Klondike, two small cottages, less than a year old, owned by Fred Newman and Ludwig Newman, were afire. Damages are estimated to be about $75. In ex--. tinguishing this blaze, firemen dis-- covered a quantity of kerosene cans in the buildings, it is said. The blaze was discovered by Joe . Anzinger, whose farm is located to the south and to the rear of the cottages. Mr. Anzinger's dog barked until Mr. An-- zinger was awakened. The entire fam-- ily kept th-- fire under control until the Antioch firemen arrived. The firemen collected as much evi-- dence as possible regarding the ker-- osene cans, and with the geputy fire marshal of Crystal lake, are making a thorough investigation as to the possible cause of the fire. DISCOVER NEW CATTLE DISEASE not ,been recognized or reported by physicians. Known as . contagious abortion the disease is widely previ-- lent 2mong cattle, swine and goats in Illinois but only recently has it shown any decided tendency --to spread to human beings. "Caused by a bacterial organisin undulant fever occurs in -- several strains among lower animals,"> Dr Rawlings said. "the> most virulent and dangerous to man being the type found in hogs, Many swine in Illinois are already affected and it appears to be transferred from hogs m cows and from cows to man the medium of raw or un-- danger also to persons on farms and in slaughter houses who participate in slaughter work. They may be in-- fected directly if they have open wounds or broken skin to admit the undulant fever germs. "In cattle the disease causes heavy economic loss' through abortion. In man it attacks young adults mostly and runs a course that may be mis-- taken for typhoid fever, tuberculosis or malaria. It can always be posi-- tively identified or ruled out by a laboratory examination of a speci-- men of fresh blood from the patient however, and this ought always to be done.

A, larger ;mmba of cases h'lac been reported from Michigan. cases have been reported and definitely g#no'ed in Illinois since July 1, and a much larger number have probably occurred but have escaped recognition by the physicians. . "The disease is not yery fatal in humans but it is likely to stretch out over a considerable period and reduce the patient to physical incapacity for several months. "In cattle the disease has a pe-- culiar predilection for the udder and directly into the milk. From thence they are ingested by humans when the milk is used raw and suscept-- ible persons come down with an at-- tack. Pasteurization kills the or-- ganism, however, so that users properly pasteurized milk incur no risks whatever. Man seems to be pretty well immune also to che strain or type of the disease that is ordinarily found in cattle but, when 'berdl become infected with the strain common to hogs, it is passed on to humans rather freely. The recent increase in incidence of the latter is what has raused consider-- able concern among health officers the country over and particularly in the middle west." > A New Jersey man says he has in-- vented a shock device that will stop an automobile instantly.
