this, but as no one has seenzft to call
your attention to it, I will take the lib

How a lid can cover an eye that does

It may seem trivial, and presumably
we are nowadays to take the writings
Of celebrated authors as they give them
careful in the use Of English {about
which so much uproar has recently been
heard, and especially Of the misuse of
English in newspapers), it can do NO
harm to point out redundancy in the
writings, even Of Sir Conan Doyle.

Long before the hour the children
had arrived outside the chapel and the
stairs and passageways were filed with
the eager and excited youngsters. One
Of the boys who remembered the Christ
mas Sunshine had given last year was
heard to remark: 'I tell you, boys,
the Sunshine folks is great. They give
you lots Of fine things. Just you wait
and see.' Miss Perry Sherwin sang
and Mrs. Simms Of Alabama read, and
tho the children gave enthusiastic ap-
plause, every eye was conferred on the
numerous mysterious bundles piled high
around the tree. -.. : H., =
When Milton Cairns, as Santa Claus,

little throat "The Sunshine society,""
For the next hour Santa Claus and his
assistants had a busy time. For every
boy there was either knife or sled

The Sunshine society made happy be-
tween three and four hundred children
last week, besides several grown-ups'
who were in need of sunshine. The
Christmas cheer began Sunday, when,
thru the kindness of one of the wealthy
women Of the city, Sunshine was given
the use of a carriage for five hours to
carry the gifts to- the children in the
Schiller school district in Northeast
Minneapolis who were too far away to
attend the tree celebration, and deli
cacies were also carried to the sick.
Gifts for over seventy children were
distributed.
Christmas morning early two enthusi-
astic,. Sunshiners delivered dinners
which were donated by Wesley church
to six worthy families. A well-known
railroad attorney sent a big fat turkey
to one of the Sunshine\ families where
the mother, who is also the breadwin-
ner, has been kept from; work by the i'll
ness Of one Of the children, SO that the
family larder was low indeed.
But the browning event was the
Christmas tree. 1851 -
Riverside chapel was obtained for the
occasion and Peabody school gave its
tree. About $50 children were present
children Of every age and descrip
tion-and the size Of the families would
have delighted President Roosevelt Is
heart. In fact, one Of the president 3
namesakes, the youngest Of a family
of twelve, was present and he had the

INTERPRETATION OF COWS
An Argument Against the Tuberculln
Test-It Is a Deuslon.

To the Editor Of The Journal.
A word on the sterilizing fallaoy, and
referring to the communication Of H. A.
Hokmeir in the Sunday Journal.
Why should the municipality provide for
the use of diseased food products even
under conditions of danger assumed by
certain 'authorities'' to be minimal?
This Is the frank intent Of steriizing,
as your correspondent states 1t. He says,
1T is 1nilk-raw milk, diseased milk
which Is responsible for the largest per-
centage Of sickness in the world. ;"
Stripped of its hyperbole, there is no
doubt truth in his assertion. But does It
reconcile us to the use of a diseased ami
NAL product to cook it? Why not turn
attention to making the dairy herds
healthy? Leaving out Of the question the
fact that milk as we know it is an alb
normal product, since it must induce NOR
bid conditions in animals to milk them
continuously for ten or eleven months
when it is natural for them to give milk
only three months in the year-leaving
this aside, because the nilk-using custom
Of the time requires such conditions-still,
is should be possible to keep the cows in
a fairly healthy state, so, that the milk
need not be so virulently diseased as to
require cooking to render 1t safe. So
It will be said that constant effort is
made to weed out diseased cows from the
dairy herds. This effort is precisely what
I wish to bring to the attention Of the
public, as it is one Of the follies (and
worse) of medical science at this day, and
is the undoubted cause Of the increase of
disease in the herds. The method now
| in use to ascertain whether the cows are
| infected with tuberculosis Is to inject
them with tuberculin. Tuberculin is a
product of tuberculosis, or Of the tubercle
bacillus artifcially cultivated-in other
words, the product of disease. It is, I
believe, aimed to inoculate all the cows
annually with. this stuff. Were it not for
the dictum Of the doctors, every person
possessed Of common sense would know
Lat once that this unnatural process was
! itself disease producer. There are even
some doctors who denounce this dabbling
IN disease and as sanity succeeds the de-
| l1lsions OF the ..gern theory it will be
wondered that any rational beings could

the NEW GAME LAW.
State Game and Fish Warden Holds that All
Hunters Must Have license.

Section 81 of the new game law
that went into effect on the 10th of
June says that ''it shall be unlawful
for any person, after the passage Of
this act, to hunt in this state outside
of the county IN which he lives with
out first obtaining a license permit
ting him or her to do So" From the
reading of this paragraph one would
naturally suppose that man could
hunt in the county in which he lives
without a license, but Joe Rodes,
state game and fish warden, who lives
at Sedalia, has issued a circular con-
STRUNG the law to require all persons
hunting within the limits of the state
to take out license. The only excep-
tlons are farmer who hunts on his
own land or one who hunts on land
he leases.
Rodes has placed licenses in the
hands Of every county clerk in the
state and every man who wants to go
out and shoot young rabbit or
squirrel or gather in mess of frog
hams is being held up for, s1.15.
Up to few days ago it had been
question whether hunter was re-
quired to take out a license in his
own county, but Warden Rodes set
ties this by requiring every hunter to
be licensed in his own county. Many
believe that Rodes' ruling is wrong
and that it will be reversed on the
first case that is taken into court.
Several Laclede hunters have al
ready taken out license, and many are
being taken out in all parts of the
county
