WILSON READS PAPER.
Disease Spread Among Cattle by the
 Imported Stock

Kansas City, Feb. 5.-In . paper pre- pared by Secretary of Agriculture Will son and read before the Central Short Horn Breeders Association at it's annual meeting here today. t.ae Secretary of Az rciultufe states that 1t has been found that tuberculosis is being spread by high bred imported animals purchased to inn prove the common cattle of this country and suggests the propriety of shutting down on the importation of cattle and sheep following the example of Great Britain. 9e tss
 Glanders, tcos he said. was an imported disease, and he suggested that 1t might also be we'll to exclude foreign horses from the American market.
 Secretary Wilson spoke against the sem tlment that we must have fresh blood from Europe to maintain the stan lard of American herds and he gave 1t as his belief that the sentiment had no other foundation than. tradition and personal interest, He told of .he surprising In. crease in the number of cattle in the United States and stated that the statis- tics indicated that 1t is pre-eminently the development of the home market that has benefited 1the cattle 'nauet~v.
 He explained at some lergth how Amer fcan cattle have foot and mouth disease and yet the United States permits the imuortetion of British cattle. We are large buyers of Argentina and he thought we ought to insist upon our cattle being admitted there

It took me an hour or more of coughing gleg ng, eXpo ctorating and sneezlng ever. mornilg before I could settle down 10 work and this condition gradually brought on catarrh of stom- ach, causing loss of appetite. poor diges- tion and a foul breath, which annoyed me exceedingly. My physician advised me to try Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and I took them for two months and was astonished to find how quickly they cleared my head. throat and stomach and I have no hesi- tation In recommending them. They are not only pleasant to take. but they seem to get at the very root of the trouble. be- cause since using them I have had no trace of catarrh."'

Mrs. Elizabeth Knott of Butler St., At lanta, had for years a very troublesome nasal catarrh, brought on by a terrible cold in the head. So terrible has its na- ture been that she frequently blew small pieces Of bone from her mouth and nose The discharge of mucus was copious and very offensive. with severe pains in the ears, and breath was awful bad Her general health became greatly impaired, with poor appetite. rheumatism and worse digestion. Doctors and patent medicines failed. She took Botanic Blood Balm and it worked on her like magic. Not symp- tom has returned in over three years, and she is completely restored to health.

WOMAE's RIGHTS.

Womau's rights" is comparatively
a modern term, but it has been well
worked since its first introduction
Time was when women were-or SET m
ed to be-content to be owned, TO-
gether with their worldly wealth, by
man Gradually they awoke to the
rights of owning themselves and,
medically, their property, and by de-
grees they have won the right TO do
this.
There are still some instances, how
ever, IN which these rights are not
fully recognized. One Of these lies in
the fact that, while the law of Georgia
makes the property of married wo-
man exempt from the debts Of her hus
band, it has been decreed by the
courts that a woman's earnings was
aot property; and are not protected by
this law. The wrong spirit Of this rul-
ing of principal is clearly apparent, as
its possible results are also.
A remedy for this has been intro
duced to cor gress, il the form Of bill
by Mr.. Fleming, of Georgia, which
provides that the personal belongings
of a woman are her private pro-
perty and not liable for the debts Of
her husband. 1t clearly expresses the
intention of protecting the earnings OF
married woman, as her property is
protected now by state law. This
measure would also make the law
uniform throughout the United States
instead of leaving this important mat
ter to be settled in different ways in
the codes of forty-five states of the
Union. MIR. Fleming will probably
push the bill during the next session,
which will be the last term of the pre-
sent congress. If it is carried, it will
be monument to the sagacity anC
chivalry of the Georgia congressman,

A CRIME AGAINST SOCIETY,

The Times Recorder hopes that the
time will come when every minister in
Americus and throughout Georgia, no
matter of what denomination, will do
the right by declining to marry run
away couples or to countenance secret
marriages. Sometimes injustice may
be done by refusing to unite runsways,
but the injury in such cases will be
more than offset by the resultant bene-
fits to society in the other direction. Sc
cret marriages should cot be tolerated
at all, and there ought to be law on
the statute books declaring from office
any Ordinary his Clerk or deputy who
csnnives at such practices by hiding
ont the marriage licenee.
