TUBERCULOSIS GERMS
The Only Way to Destroy Them II By
the Thorough Pasteurization Of
MIX and Cream.

The subject of tuberculosis is one
which interests the entire world. AL
though dollars innumerable and great
study have been devoted to securing
some method of successfully combat
ing this disease, and although the
world is startled now and again with
the announcement that . great discov-
cry has been made along these lines,
yet only palliative measures have thus
far been found effective in any degree.
It is known that milk from cows
whose udders are affected by tubercu-
losis is liable to cause transmission of
the disease to persons, especially to
young children, the bacillus producing
this disease in cattle and consumption
among people being identical. 1t is
now interesting and important to know
that foreign Investigations have DEM
onstrated that tuberculosis germs are
often found in butter and that they
will there live for considerable period
of time. The only way, it is stated.
to feel sure of the butter and milk you
are consuming is to know that the milk
and the cream from which the butter is
made il pasteurized and the germs
killed. It is not now generally believed
that consumption or tuberculosis can
be directly inherited-it is acquired by
the offspring rather from close contact
with the mother. At the Wisconsin sta
ton some of the best animals were
found to be diseased. They were sep
arated from the others and calves bred
from them; but the offsprings were i'm
mediately removed from the mothers
and fed on the milk Of other cattle.
They have proved perfectly healthy.
The milk of diseased cattle has also
been successfully used for feeding pur-
poses after having been thoroughly
