No Money for Artificial Limbs,

The appropriation at the disposal Of the
surgeon generals Office for artificial limbs
and for communication where the pensioner
does not take the artificial limb supplied
by the government is already exhausted
and about 1000 pensioners will have to
wait for their Communication money until after
Congress meets. The appropriation for this year
would have paid all claims under the law as it
existed prior to MARCH, last, but an amend
ment was passed on that date making the pe-
riod for the renewal OF artificial limbs three
years instead of five. Ali the claims that would
have spread over the next two years under the
old law became matured under the new law on
the date of its passage, but Congress made no
provision to meet the increased expenditures
and the regular appropriation has covered only
Q third of the cases.

NOT A NEW REGULATION.
Secretary Kusk Explains An Old Quarantine
Rule


Rule.
"All this alleged scare in the south grows
out Of the fact that the railroad companies OBJ
ject to being obliged to fumigate and disinfect
| their cattle cars after each shipmen. from the
| south to the north, said Secretary of Agri-
| culture Rusk at Chicago yesterday. The Sec
retary referred to a dispatch from Nashville to
the effect that Tennessee cattle growers are in
censed against an order of the Secretary de-
claring quarantine against Tennessee cattle
and that the new oroer was considered blow
at the agricultural interests Of the south.
'No such order has been made" continued
the Secretary. There has been no change in
the regulations established two years ago. At
that time rule was made that all cattle raised
below certain line should be stopped for
quarantine before entering states where
splenetic fever did not exist. The quarantined
district really included only certain portions
OF Texas, and no protest has been heard from
that district Tennessee is not within the in
fected territory. There is nothing in the cat
tie quarantine laws that lis applicable to Tennes-
see more than to Illinois or Nebraska, New York
or Massachusetts. Native cattle are not in
cluded In the quarantine regulation. There is
no Idea or purpose of q commercial warfare
against the south. The matter is stirred up by
the railroads because they have extra trouble
in keeping their cars clean SO that the conta-
gion may not spread. Instead of killing the
cattle trade. as alleged, it has fostered and en-
couraged it. Before the new law l6 per cent of
stock shipments were lost by death from con-
taglous diseases. Now the loss is less than per
cent"
