DISEASE IN CATTLE.
Cattle for SIGNS Of T0bef.
cuJar lnfeetion.

81 don't know whether one person
in a thousand appreciates the inn
portance OF testing beef cattle for tu-
berculosis," said a physician who has
given much attention to the subject
of pure food. 1.-The average man re-
CARDS it as either q doctors fad or q
pretext Of giving somebody job. and
as far as safeguarding public health
is concerned he smiles ironically and
says he has never seen any difference
in the number of consumptives. l
would like to call the attention of sucl,
skeptics to . curious fact. There is
less consumption among strictly or
thodox Jews than any people in the
world. In New York city, where sta
tistics on the subject have been care
fully collected, it was found last year
that the tuberculosis death rate
among Polish Jews was IS to 100000.
while among all other classes it was
over 427. These figures are really
startling and warrant a carefulinquiry
into the cause Of such singular inl-
munity. New York's Polish Jew col
ony, as you probably know, is made
up almost entirely of very poor people,
who work in sweat shops, live in
swarming tenements, and have scarce
" an opportunity for cleanliness or
sanitation. 1t is certain that none of
these conditions protect them from
consumption, and the only possible
exclamation seems to lie in the fact
that they are rigid observers Of the
Mosaic law, and never eat meat that
might be tainted with tuberculosis.
This theory is borne out by statistics
from other cities, and everywhere the
orthodox Hebrew exhibits strange i'm
munity from the disease that is now
recognized as the great scourge of the
American people. The public gener-
ally is beginning to wake up to the
necessity of doing something to pro-
tect itself against the ravages Of con-
sumption, and precautionary legisla-
ton is being talked about in nearly
every state in the union. In my opin-
ion the scientific inspection of beef
cattle is the first thing that ought to
be attended to. II anybody can ex-
plain away the facts have men
toned, or any other hypothesis, I'd
like to hear fro Mthem."-New Or
leans Times-Democrat.

Asheville, n. C.

Few regions have been more richly en-
dowed by Nature than that famous section
of Western North Carolina POLITICALLY
termed the Land of the Sky" 1t has eli
mate SO dry and health-giving that it has be-
come known the world over as natural san
itarium for the cure Of all troubles of pull
monary or bronchial nature.
Asheville, the center Of this beautiful
mountain-hemmed plateau, is the highest
city east of Denver, and is busy, thriving
place of 1900 inhabitants, with all the
msdernisms of city life. The city lies just
.: the point where the beautiful French
Broad and Swannanoa Rivers join their
crystal waters.
Within the city OF in its suburbs many
people Of wealth have built beautiful and
expensive homes, and most notable among
them being the chateau of Mr.. George w.
Vanderbilt, which, with its great estate, has
cost upwards of four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-year resort, for the
great mountains protect it in the winter
from the cold winds, and its summer climate
Is made delightful because of its altitude.
For descriptive matter of Asheville and
vicinity, call on any Southern Railway
