KOCH THEORY QUESTIONED

After working with some 200 bovine animals,
says the Drovers' Journal the royal commits

tuberculosis from cattle to humans to the eff
feet that 1t does not agree with the findings
OF DR.. Koch: The commissions main conclu-

This is probably one Of the strongest blows
received by the Koch theory established few
years ago. The commission is firmly of the

is the idea held by the veterinarians In this
country, and on this account all mich COWS
showing signs of the disease are quarantined

Climatic Cures.

The influence of climatic eondi- tions in the cure of consumption is very much overdrawu. The poor patient and the rich patient, too, can do much at home by prop CT attention to food digestion, and a regular use ot German Syrup. Free approximation in the morn- ing is made certain by German Syrup, so is good nights rest and the absence of that weakening cough and facilitating night sweat. Restless nights and the ex- haustion due to coughing, the greatest danger and dread of the eonsumptive, can be prevented or stopped by taking German Syrup liberally and regularly. Should you be able to go to warmer cline, you will find that of the thousands of feonsumptives there, the few who are benefited and re- gain strength are those who use German Syrup.

fAVORITE HOME PAPER.
Why the Twice-a-Week Repub- Has Achieved Wide
 Reputation.

Established for nearly centu- ry and read regularly by more than 100000 persons in the West and Southwest, the Twice-a- W eek Republic of St. Louis can justly lay claim to that enviable distlne- tion, "Favorite Homo Paper.
 It is great because it has always aimed to inform, instruct and en- tertain lts rerders on all matters Of public and home interest. In 1901 it will be especially interest ing and valuable. Here are some reasons why you should subscribe for it:
 This is campaign year, and you will want to be informed of the movements of party leaders, re ports of the great National and State Conventions, the progress of the campaign, reports ot the elections, etc.
 You will want to know all about the Worlds Fair, to be held in St. Louis from April 30th to Dec l, l904.
 You will be interestad in and kept well informed by the Farm Visitor, a regular supplement ot the paper, especially for the farm CT and his family.
 You will want to know what the world is doing in every field ot activity, and through the unsur passed news and special service ot The Twice.a-Week Republic you will not be disappointed.
 The short sketches, choice bits of fiction, articles of interest te women, children and the home fashion hints and helpful house hold suggestions the Twieea Week Republic easily leads among the weeklies of the great West.
 If you want the Twice-a- Week Republic sent to your address, or der It direct from the office at St Louis. Mo-, or through your loca newsdealor. It costs only S1 { year.
