She Is The Most Active
Agent for Increase
OF THE DREAD DISEASE
Dr.. Shroeder's Experiments Turns in an
Interesting Report to Bureau Of An
imal Industry Of Department
of Agriculture.

Washington, Jan. I1.In most REL
inarkahie report, published as a bulletin
lby the bureau Of animal industry Of the
department Of agriculture, warning is
being sounded as to the danger of tu-
berculosis being communicated to human
beings through cows.
/ The bulletin emhndies a report OF ex.
lperiments that have been conducted BY
Dr. H. G. Schroeder and w. II. Cotton Of
the experiment station of the bureau
of animal industry They have under
taken experiments with hogs and cattle
for the main purpose of testing the suss
lceptihility Of the lung 10 infection with
tubercle bacilli regardless Of the point
ut which the infectious material enters
1 the body. Not only was it shown that
tuberculosis may readily be caused in
the lungs, no matter through what chan
mel the bacilli gain entrance to the body,
but various other facts were demonstrat-
ed having an important bearing on the
communication Of this dread disease.
The experts, al the result Of their in
yestigations, conclude that tuberculosis
is contracted through the entrance of
tubercIe haeilli; that the lung is the or
gan most frequently affected, regardless
Iof where the infectious material enters
the body; that tuberculous infection may
pass from one part Of the body to am
other without leaving chain Of LESSONS
no mark its path; that fresh tubercle
material has the, highest significance, and
that dried aud pulverized material has
a doubtful significance

"Tubercplous material from cattle has
the highest virulence FOR all tested spe-
Icies of the mammalion kindom. to which
imam anatomically and physiologically be-
longs, and tuberculous material from man
has lower virulences
Man is constantly exposed to fresh

Washington, Jan. 11.--One result of
the adoption Of the new rules for the
appointment of consuls after techni.
cal examination has been to bring for
ward a number of applications from
Young college men and discouraged men
Of practical business experience from
attempting To enter the consular service.
While the material thus offered il pro-
nounced to be excellent Of its kind, it
is found that d lack Of experience in
worldly affairs on the part Of the
young applicants tends materially to
reduce their usefulness in the beginning,
Therefore the state Department has
proposed to Congress 10 increase from
the present number thirteen to thirty
the consular clerks. These Offices will
be given to some OF the younger men
and they will be assigned to duty al
assistants To consnls and consuls general
at the more important commercial
towns in order that they may acquire
the necessary experience and only after
several years apprenticeship Of this
kind Viii they be themselves intrusted
with eonsnlates.

From reliable information received in

stir in college baseball circles next
spring. This summer balr' question
has not been forgotten, even il SOME Of
the alleged pros were allowed to take
part in football games last fall 1t IS

around in April few startling facts are
going to be published These facts, of
