Chicago, April I3.-In a lecture en-.
titled Consumption, a Social Disease
given before the Tuberculosis congress
in the municipal museum, Dr. w. "A.

graceful policy that expends $1,000 o!
federal and state funds for the health
and sanitation of cattle to every ST. ex-

comfort of livestock are to be consid-

Evans. But the facts that confront
JUS are indisputable.
LET farmer have a COW, sheep or
goat that is suffering with some dis
ease by no means new, and of little or
no scientific Importance. The amaz-
ing thing, that happens in such case is
that the national government rushes an
expert veterinary surgeon to that far
smer's barn, though the distance be g.
900 miles or more The purpose of the
government is to show the farmer how
ito nurse that cow back to health and
to make him familiar with the meas
6tlres necessary to prevent the spread oi
the disease
Does the farmer have to pay fee
for this distinguished medical service!
Not a cent. The bureau OF animal in

purpose Of protecting the lives AMI
