PLAN TO ESTABLISH
TEN GOVt PI ANTS
Manila, P. I., Sept. 22. A plan: to
establish ten government plants for
'the manufacture of rinderpest serum..
has been initiated by Adriano Herna
ndez, director of the bureau of agri
culture. Funds have been securea
and the plants will soon be in full ope
rations: ''
Rinderpest continues to be a serious
problem of Philippine cattle oyners
but the bureau of agriculture by
quarantine and immunization is waging
a vigorous campaign against the scour
age. A requisition for. serum has been
s?nt to French Indo-Chlna and
this
will enable the bureau to keep up its

Those of us who are past middle age
are prone to eat too much meat and in
consequence deposit lime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism or
lumbago, sometimes from gout, swollen
hands or feet. ' There is no longer the
slightest heed of this, however, as the
new ' prescription; "Anuric," Is bound

obtained at almost any drug store, by
