the House about the necessity of investigat-

to stop pension-granting or suspend thou

anime few suspected cases.

should recommend that all milch COWS
be submitted to an examination by an
expert at least once in every three
months, and every dairyman ought to be
lnterdlcted from selling the milk from
COW that Is, in the opinion of the expert,
subject OF tuberculosis in any organ of
the body. / have no doubt many in the
community will exclaim that these re-
strlctions on the sale of milk are too har-
assing for the dairymen. I do not think,
however, that there is an honest dairy
man in this community that would not
be willing to have his stock examined, so
he could receive a license, by which
means he could retain the confidence of
his customers by supplying them with an
article OF food which would be, compara-
lively speaking, free from disease.
MEAT.
Opinions differ regarding the danger
attending he consumption of flesh of tu-
berculous animals.
Admitting that even if only one per
cent. OF cases of tuberculosis were caused
by eating flesh from tuberculous animals,
IL would still he the duty of health of1i-
GERS to make every effort to render the
transmission of the disease in that way
impossible.
Out OF seventy-two experiments made
by such eminent Investigators as Boil
Hnger, y ocard, Gaitier and McFadyean,
positive results were obtained in seven
cases, but TO come to the conclusion that
muscular or meat infection TAX es place in
about ten per cent. of all cases of appar-
emily local tuberculosis would be some
what premature until a larger number of
experiments have been conducted. How
fhnCn nri,,
snow that there is some danger in the
consumption OF meat obtained from dis
eaSed animals.
Until private slaughter houses are
abolished 1t will be very difficult TO con-
duct regular system of meat inspection
satisfactorily, but in time we hope to see
every municipality owning and control
ing It's own abattoir, where all its meat
supplies must be slaughtered and
dressed. Then by making thorough
examination before and after slaughter
ing, 1t VIII be possible to supply the pub
lie with an article of diet which is free
from germs OF deadly disease.
In order to accomplish all this we must
have laws and ordinances, and these laws
and ordinances should be enforced by
competent inspectors. The time has
passed when the public in this respect
nave been left to the tender mercies of a
polltlclan, whose appointment to the OF
lce OF Inspector was not due TO his abil-
lty or knowledge, but because he con-
trolled certain number OF votes at cleo
ton time.

ors, as they do in some localities, is like
an insurance company trusting to its
clerks to say what is good life. The
stake is Infinitely greater in one case than

diminished quinquennial bonus; the adj
mission OF unsound meat and diseased

JOHN ], CURRY,
The Democratic Candidate for State
Printer,
Defines His Position on the State Text
Book QueStion-A Brief and
Pointed Letter.

EDS. RECoRD-UNION: In daily paper
published in Sacramento, where l spent
many years of my early manhood, and
where l am well known, 1 notice state
menUs in reference to my position in re-
spect to the economy that can be applied
in the business management of the State
Printing Office and my position on the
State textbook question. / am not in
the habit Of making statements on a ven-
ture or supposition. as my friends well
know, and what l have asserted has been
fully considered. 1t is right and proper
that the people should have the benefit of
all the facts that can be produced, land |
have made the statement from an intelli-
gent standpoint, and not from any dema-
gogic motive. l am prepared to stand
upon the propositions l have submitted;
and when an assertion is made that
economy in the State Printing Office is
something that cannot be regulated by
the State Printer" it is simply amusing
1t may do for those who are ignorant of
the duties to be performed, but those who
know the contrary from years of expert
ence would not betray their lack of hon
esty by any such statement. 1t is simply
absurd.
The question of the printing of the
school textbooks by the State has been
referred to by the same newspaper, and |
am glad of the opportunity To define my
position on that question. The school
book question is one in which the people
take a great interest, and they should do
SO. l exercised what little influence l
possessed in 1882. while employed in the
State Printing Office, to secure the pas
sage of the law by the Legislature to con-
fer upon the State the right To print the
school text books. l have always felt
deep interest in that question, and | have
insisted that the State should not only
print them, but that every child in the
State should be supplied with text books
free of expense. [ hold that it would
equallZe the matter III such way that
the children Of the poor would be just as
well provided for as those OF The rich.
Every child should be given such an
education in the public schools as would
fit him or her to conduct any business.
Any assault upon the State school text
book system by rings or bosses would be
resented by me under any and all cir
cumStances. l have never sacrificed my
manhood or independence to any boss,
nor held allegiance to any combination OF
men to secure place or power, and | never
Will. l 'owe no man anything save
loye,' nor have / ever sacrificed aIlegi-
ance TO honor for any consideration. If L
have remained an independent wage
Garner. which seems TO be the point of at
tack on my character, | have been satis-
fed to do so rather than be the servant
and tool Of others, and in so doing / have
preserved my manhood.
Thanking you for space in your valu-
able paper Tor this brief letter, | am,
yours very truly, JOHN j. CURRY.

ing OF the intestinal canal or in the glands
situated near the alimentary tract. DIR.
o. Il. Shakespear (1fed1cdG Ne3CS, March
Z6. 1892 attributes one-fifth of all deaths
in infants and young children, feeding on
milk, to tuberculosis, usually commencing
in some part of the digestive tract. These
children get tuberculosis through the in
testinal canal, through the milk, the great
uncooked food. Many people, and more
especially city people, have the idea that
the milk from a single cow is preferable
to the mixed milk of dairy for the feed
ing of children, and particularly weakly
Chi ldren. A great many people order the
milk of one COW, it is put in small ves-
sci and delivered to the purchaser as soon
as possible after it is taken from the cows
udder, ia order that the consumer may
receive it before IL has lost its animal
heat. Now here lies the great danger; if
this one cow should be affected with
tuberculosis, and the milk given to any
child warm from the udder, it clearly
follows that the germs in the milk are in
q state of greater activity and vitality
than they would be If the milk had been
allowed to cool, while they are also much
more numerous than II the milk had
been mixed with that of a moderately
healthy dairy. The milk of this COW,
therefore, if she be affected with tuber-
culosis. and particularly IL II be given to
a child with its animal heat but little re-
duced, is directly calculated to convey
the disease to the delicate child Tor winch
the milk is so carefully provided. In
view of these facts, parents, solicitous OF
obtaining ono cows milk for delicate
children, would do well to ascertain If
ahe cow is free from tuberculosis.
There is no doubt that the public have
a RIGHT to demand that when they pur-
chase what purports 10 be wholesome
milk that article should not be mixed
with the germs of deadly disease.
Absolute assurance that the milk is free
from the germ of tuberculosis is probably
