Under blunt Police Superintendent Louis F. Guerre, State troopers tramped into the office of David M. Ellison, Attorney General. Capt. J. A. Holliday called out his militia, saying "it was nothing but a drill." By these martial hints, Ellison learned he was no longer Attorney General.

Such was the substance of a warning issued by Assistant Surgeon General Clifford Ellison Waller and his public health colleagues to all U. S. shavers last week. Reason: a case of deadly anthrax in North Dakota last fortnight was traced to a lot of infected Japanese shaving brushes...
