rha atata hoard nf health of Mich

The state board of health of Mich
gan has officially declared consump-
ton to be communicable disease and
has required physicians and local
boards of health to report consump-
ton cases the same as they do diph-
iberia, scarlet fever, small pox and
other contagious and infectious dis
eases. The board has also issued
rules for quarantining consumption,
and has printed and circulated pam.
phlets informing the people what pre-.
ventives and precautions are neces-
sary to check the spread of the dis
ease. The Michigan board, it seems,
has been gathering lot OF statistics
and watching experiments in cases OF
consumption, and has arrived at th.
conclusion that consumption carries
off more people than all other diseases
combined; that consumption is not
hereditary, except that predisposi-
ton to contract it may pass from par.
ent to child; but thai the germs of the
disease exist in the sputa through the
evaporation of which the disease is
communicated to others. The boar d
declares that the bacilli are germinat
ed in dangerous quantities only at =
certain stage of the disease, after
which comparative isolation, through
disinfection of the sputs, and quaran-
tine are absolutely indispensable 10
perfect safety from infection. Mich
gan is the first state to legally and
autho itatively class consumption
among the contagious or infectious
diseases. The action of the stats
board of health has caused quite a
sensation in medical circles, and nc

terial uat1te and infectious chsractsr

The workings of the human heart
have been computed by celebrated
Psychologist, and he has demonstrated
that it is equal to the lifting of 100 tons
in twenty-four hours. Presenting that
the blood is thrown out of the heart at
each pulsation in the proportion of six
ty-nine strokes per minute and at the
assumed force of nine feet, the mileage
of the blood through the body might be
taken at 2O7 yards per minute, 7
miles per hour, les miles per day, 81, 800

The Vinegar Law.

To THE EDITOR: Sir-A misunder
standing as to the scope and intent o
the vinegar law seems to prevail among
the retail groceries in Wisconsin, ant
as the matter is one that interest,
every community, we hope that yot
will give this open letter space in YOU
paper, as much for the benefit of your
readers as for the protection of YOU
merchants.
Chapter 1914 of the laws of 1891 pro
vides penalty for the sale of vinegar
that does not coniUim to certain con
ditions therein expressed aud the seller
is made liable to prosecution for a
misdemeanor, the penalty for which is
a fine fixed from $1,000. to 500. 90.
Briefly, the law requires that all cider
vinegars shall contain, in addition, 2
per cent. of cider vinegar solids. The
dealer who handles goods not conform.
ing with these requirements is liable
to arrest and trial, and ignorance of
the quality of the goods is not suf.
ficient defense.
The majority of iobbers and manu-
facturers doing business in Wisconsin
endeavor to supply their trade with
goods in full conformity to the
standard, but this department deems
it incumbent, for the best interests of
the Wisconsin trade to state that
certain manufacturers outside of this
state have been the most persistent
violators of this statute, relying
upon their location to protect them
from the provisions of the law. Circu-
lars, containing letters from several
chemists, constitute one of the chief
means that they employ to make sales
and while these chemists guarantee
the harmlessness of the vinegar, not
one in the entire number gives single
percentage either of acid or solids, "a
vital point in Wisconsin. Another
noticeable feature of the circular Is
that none of the chemists are in any
way connected with any food bureau
where an arbitrary standard is fixed.
OF eighteen samples that have been
recently analysed by this department,
not one is of a grade that does not lay
the retailer liable to prosecution. The
most feasible plan of insuring supply
of legal vinegar is to buy, subject to
to the state test and send an ounce
sample to the Dairy and Food Conn.,
mission, at Madison, giving the brand
on the barrel and the makers name.
The vinegar will be promptly reported
upon free of charge and the merchant
can then pay for his goods and sell
them in security. The course will
avoid any possible lawsuit and secure
what we wish to ask, the cooperation
of the Wisconsin trade in enforcing
the law.
Yours respectfully,
II

An for yanitx,s sake.

A famous duchess in London recently
went through the ordeal of having a
dress made on her own figure. She
stood for three hours while the dress
makers wrought fifty yards of rare old
lace that could not be cut into gown
for soiree, at the close of which every
stitch had to be carefully cut and picked
out before the lady could disrobe. The
amount of torture that fair woman will
undergo in the name of vanity would
astonish the martyrs.

Light.


The grandess sentence in any book
in the world is this, in Holy writ:
And God said, Let there be light;
and there was light" Natural Science
can tell you in detail how absolutely
indispensable light is to the contin-
uance of any form of life on our globe.
1t is not the purpose of this paragraph
however, to discourse upon the benefits
of natural light, but to present some
curious facts connected with it, and
the numerous artificial means of illumi-
nations, invented by the ingenuity of
man. The sncients thought that OBJ.
jects were made visible by something
projected from the eye, and it was not
until about $50 years before the
Christian Era that men began to ask
Why can we not see in darkness! Ii
then dawned upon somebody that light
falling upon an object was what made
1T visible, and that the eye was only a
machine for receiving the rays of
light and transmitting to the brain
the Impressions they give as to the
size, shape and color of external things.
The first artificial light was probably a
burning brand-then reed saturated
in oil, then the tallow dip, the candle,
the oil lamp, the kerosene lamp, gas,
and last and greatest, the electri light.
Intellectual light is another kind-the
light needed to guide our actions, and
that is furnished by the experience OF
ourselves or others. If you want light
on the subject of travel, everybody:
experience is clear as the sun that the
Burlington Route is the best for all
travellers. For information, tickets
maps, etc. address w. j. G. Kenyon,

THE BEHETNG SEA TRIAL

Mr.. CATERS argument before the Bchring
Sea Court Of Arbitration ba, been sustained on
superior level Of sagaci,y and cloquencc
lie has taken the highest possible ground in
favor Of our night 20 protect the scai-thc
ground of duty While following closely the
history OF Russian assertions Of dominion in
Behrng Sea. the maintenance Of those asser-
tons throughout the period Of Russian empire
in Alaska the attitude Of England in relation
to RusS:as claims as disclosed b. official CORE
,pcndcncc. and the doScsn. TO us o! all her natu-
raj and admitted rights in virtue Of the Alaskan
purchase. ne has not made these the chief
ground Of his contention. Far above them he
has placed our duty as civilized state %
protect an animal useful to the whole civilized
world and threatened with extinction by cruel
and wasteful assault. lie has shown that our
relation 10 the seal. whether or MT it be held
10 Justify the claims we advance Of a property
right in them is ut all events. by reason Of
our ownership of the islands on which they
breed and for large portion of the year live
and by reason Of the care and attention which
we give to them there at great public expense
far closer relation than can be claimed by
any other State. and that the obligation to pro-
tCCt the seal, III SUCn Ill OD!ledlOH can De SHOWN
TO exist at all, falls directly upon the United
States. lie has shown that our position with
regard TO the seal has been that Of a guardian
and protector while that of England is the
attitude Of Il wanton destroyer. lie has placed
before the Court in clear and effective array
the true facts concerning the sealing industry
as it is carried on under Government regula-
tons at the Prby,of Islands and as it has been
pursued by the British Columbian intruders
II these facts do not enforce in the mind OF
the Court that the United States has clear
right to look upcn the seal as National prop
eIty. and not as fish or wild animals entitled
to be taken anywhere and in any manner by
anybody and the duty of our Government TO
protect them against processes of slaughter
which are cruel and wastcful, it will be an in
comprehensive result.
Mr.. Carter has well shown how entirely in
applicable is the doctrine of free seas to the
situation in Behring Sea. There is nothing in
the claim of the United States TO ownership
in the seal and to the duty of protecting them
which in the smallest degree interferes with
the right of any vessel to go anywhere or do
anything that by the common consent of ma
tons has been considered lawful on the high
