London, Dec. 6.-Imperial recip-

of the results of War Secretary Hal
danes recent disarmament of some
battalions OF the British army in fur
therance of the general program OF
economy. The new movement will be
initiated by $50 men lately disbanded
from the Manchester regiment, who
will proceed to Canada and join the
Dominion forces. The men, their
wives and families, will all be taken
over at the cost of the Canadian gov
eminent, and 1T is understood con-

which shortly will be disbanded, will
follow suit. The war ONCE authorities
are hopeful that the movement will
develop and that a system of ex-
change will be arranged by which
Canadian troops can be sent to Eng
land and British troops to Canada,
with the object of more closely weld
ing the services into an imperial force.

Every animal that comes to the estab

the most important by great deal, for
it is altogether possible that an ami

norton inspection is also made. The
lurking, deadly tuberculosis which af.
f1icts many food animals, cannot in
majority of cases, be detected until the
animal has been slaughtered, but the
trained veterinarian can detect it's
presence by critical examination of
the carcass. A suspected diseased
animal is held OUT by the govern
ment inspector; the carcass of a
slaughtered animal, if it gives evidence
of being unfit for food, is ''tanked."
1t is impossible, under the enforcement
of these rules, to prepare a diseased
animal for a food product. unless the
inspector errs, which is altogether un
likely, or at least occurs very seldom
as records of the agricultural depart
