Dr.. George Il. Bailey has done the
state good service by Investigating the
story that recently appeared in the pub
lie prints TO the effect that "a boy had
died at Norway OF tuberculosis con-
trected from the milk of diseased cows.
Such a report, uncontradicted by au-
thoTity, was likely TO do much mischief.
To prove a negative is often hard to do.
but in this case DR.. Bailey has succeeded
perfectly. He has been able to ascertain
where the milk the boy drank came from
ana by the tuberculin test has been able
to demonstrate conclusiveIy that any one
CT tho COWS that could have furnished
it was perfectly healthy. 1t is little
short Of criminal to send such a story
abroad without tbs most conclusive
evidence OF its truth and in this case
there seems to have been no evidence at
all. Such proof rs there was, without

A Case for DR.. Bailey.

Norway, June 1.-Perley McCrellis, l6,
died suddenly today while riding along
Main street. According to physicians the
cause of his death was tuberculosis con-
tracted from milk of diseased COWS.
There is some apprehension that other
cases may develop.
found the father of the bog, Mr.. A.
Q. McCrellis, was o resident of Norway
and learned from him that neither him
self or any member of his family enter
tanned the slightest belief in the opinion
that had been advanced, as the grand
mother and a sister Of Mr.. McCrellis ha i'd
previously died of consumption and upon
consulting DR.. B. f.. Bradbury he told
me he had assisted in an autopsy of the
sister of McCrellis boy buta few years
since which proved to be severe case Of
pulmonary tuberculosis. I also consulted
DIR. +. H. Barker the attend ing
physician. of the young man who tells
me that the young man had been under
his charge but few weeks and that the
immediate cause of his death resulted
from 'spasm of the epiglottis'' but there
was no question about his having tuber-
culosis, his diagnosis having been verified
By Drs. Donovan and Oaks of Auburn.
AS far as the disease having been caused
or promoted by use of milk, however, all
the physicians agree that it Is entirely
unfounded and preposterous as the
history of the immediate family of the
boy all tends to heredity as the cause.
But one pint of milk per day was
taken by the family from the herd of Mr..
Chester W. Horn and as the boy was no
lover of milk he got but small portion
OF that, but to make sure that no sus-
picion attached TO the herd of COWS in
question the cattle commissioners after
consultation with Mr.. Horne and Drs.
Barker and Bradbury decided to submit
the whole nun Der to the tuberculin test,
which was done and take pleasure in
su bmitting the test sheet for public in
spection as it is seldom we are able to
offer test so entirely satisfactory as
this and one that SO thoroughly disproyes
any theory or supposition that the boy
died from drinking diseased milk. The
proof sheet is offered below and 1 only
hope the press will give the same circuIe-
ton and publicity to the cold facts IN the
case that they have already given to the
false and unwarranted report:

an examination of the milk supply, was
all in the other direction, for several of
the ancestors Of the child had died Of
consumption, thus showing the heredit-
airy tendency. 1t is to be hoped that DR..
Bailey's statement will have as wide
circulation as the original stcry.

HOW TO PREVENT GROUP.
Some Reading that Will Prove Inter
esting to Young Mothers Slow to
t3uard Against the Disease.

Group is a terror to young moth
ers, and to post them concerning
the cause, first symptoms and
treatment is the object of this
item, The origin of Group is a com
mon cold. Children who are sub
iect to it take cold very easily, and
Group is almost sure to follow. The
first symptom is hoarseness; this is
soon followed by peculiar rough
cough, which is easily recognized
and will never be forgotten by one
who has heard it. The time to act
is when the child first becomes
hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is freely given all tendency
to Group will soon disappear. Even
after the croupy cough has devel'
oped it will prevent the attack

remedy, for it contains nothing in

bidding them farewell and ad-
monishing them in words which
clearly pointed the central thought
in his three years effort In the
school; that the primary purpose
of education is the symmetrical
development of all the powers of
the mind, moral and intellectual.
Hon. Nils P. Haugen then made
to the graduates a few appropriate
remarks, and presented to them
their diplomas.
