WILL PREVENT DISEASE.
Martinsburg, Feb. 20.
Editor The Democrat

Editor The Democrat
Dear Sir-As | recently had All OPP
portunity Of inspecting some beef
brought to Martinsburg for the mar
ket and finding it infected with the
bacill, of tuberculosis, | will make a
few suggestions for the benefit OF the
public.
OF the different food substances,
milk is probably the most important
from a bacteriolog ical point OF. view
In the first place, most other foods are
joked before eating. Furthermore,
cows milk constitutes in large part
the food of many infants, who are
hig hlv susceptible to certain bacteria
or the substances in the milk itself
after t has undergone certain altera-
ton due to bacteria. The milk oil the
heslthvicow while still contained in
the mammary gland is sterile. but
after the process of milking a little OF
the fluid usually remains in the lower
mart of the teat, in which bacteria
will have developed before the next
milking time. The first milk obtained
when milking should be discarded,
as it may contaminate the whole
quantity. Contamination may occur
from the o tier surface OF the udder,
the hands OF the mixer, of the pals
or through agitation of the air OF the
stable. Excluding the tubercle bac-
ILL, the organism which communicates
milk will be pathogenic only in ex-
ceptlonal cases.
Occasionally typhoid fever, cholera,
and possibly scarlet fever, dyphtheria
and other diseases are disseminated
bv means OF contaminated milk. OF
the different pathogenic bacteria liable
to become source of danger in milk.
the most important is the bacillus OF
tuberculosis. This.is disease to which
cattle are exceedingly prone. There
is good reason to believe that infants
frequently acquire tuberculosis
through taking as food the milk OF
tuberculous cows. The flesh Of cattle
is also copable OF transmitting tuber-
cuIosis but IS smaller source OF
danger en- account of cooking the
meat. do not mean to say that tu-
berculosus cowsare the only source by
which people may contract cousump-
ton, but l do say that they are
very dangerous source, and people
should be exceedingly careful, espec-
iaily dairymen.
In consulta lion with a physician |
fiudthat tuberculosis is very prevalent
in Martinsburg. He said that he had
treated more cBses of this disease In
this CITY IN one year than he mad else
where III 10 years. Along step toward
Tue prevention of the disease would
be to have all cattle subjected to tie
tubeiculn test, and thoroughly disin-
feet milking utensils and. stables.
An ounce OF proven ion is worth
pound ct cure.

A.BOWLING CONTEST.

A very spirited and interesting
bowling match was rolled, on the al
ley of the Berkeley Club last Thurs
day night, betv sn picked team OF
five from Frederick Md, and a like
number from the Berkeley Club. the
result of which was a victory for the
latter. Five games were played, and
Martins burg gained four, but the
score in each game was close. The
visitors were very much pleased with
the Berkeley Club alley, and pro-
nounced it as good and we'll equipped
as any they had ever seen, After the
game the Frederick players were en-
tertained at an elaborate luncheop,
and return game was arranged, to
be rolled at Frederick tomorrow ight,
The score was as. follows

for good around her.
She is survived by three sons. VIII
