TO ENFORCE LAW
Regulating the Practice Of Veterinary
Medicine


The Commissioners are making prepara-
tons to enforce the bill enacted last week
to regulate the practice of veterinary medi-
cine in the District of Columbia. Their first
step will be to appoint a board Of exam
iners in veterinary medicine, to consist of
i've reputable practitioners Of veterinary
medicine, who shall have graduated from
veterinary colleges, and who shall have
been residents of the District three years
prior to their appointments.
The act is extensive in its provisions and
precise in it's detail. and the officials Of the
District are satisfied that it will tend to es-
tablish a standard for the profession. and
that the public will be afforded protection
from unskilled "horse doctors"
The law provides that the board of exam
liners shall elect officers. 1t shall be the duty
Of the board to pass upon all applicants for
licenses to practice, and to keep record of
all registrations. When the act Is put into
operation by the Commissioners all persons
desiring to practice veterinary medicine or
any branch of 1t in the District shall make
application to the board for license All
applicants must be of good moral charac-
ter and must either be graduate Of an
authorized veterinary college or else have
practiced In the District for five years prior
to the passage of the act. In issuing the
license fee of SO will be charged. Any
person whose license is revoked by the
board of examiners shall have the right
Of an appeal to board of appeal, at a cost
of $50
The provisions Of the law do not apply to
veterinary surgeons of the army, or those
In the employ Of the Department of Agri-
culture. Any person who shall violate any of
the provisions of the law shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor, and~upon convic-
ton shall be punished by fine of not more
than 500. or by Imprisonment in the work
house for not more than six months.

and determine the impression their con-
tents made upon his mind. The question
here Is not whether these things are true
or false, as has often been explained to
the jury The only question 10 what I'M

the defendant to sway him to an act OF

which they are placed before the jury"

Handwriting Expert Carvalho and other
witnesses on hand to testify to the admis-
stability Of the Thaw will were instructed
to return to court Monday morning.

Thaw will enable us to prove to the salts
faction of those twelve men beyond any
question of doubt that the accused was Of
unsound mind at the time he killed STAN
ford White" said one OF the counsel last
night. There is no precedent known In le-
gal procedure that the district attorney or
any one else can find to prevent the intro
duction into the case of this will. It can
be proved by handwriting experts and. bet
ter still. it can be proved by the persons
who witnessed the signing of the document.
This will and codicil, with Its unusual
clauses coupled with the story as told by
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, when in full posses
sion of the jury can have but one effect.
Expert witnesses as to the question OF
insanity are Of some Importance IN case
of this character, but oral and documentary
evidence of such convincing nature as we
have adduced must bring about the acqult-
tai of Harry X. Thaw."

side Of the counsel railing realize the vast
importance of this document.
There was more than q mild sensation
upon the elevated platform upon which Dis
trict Attorney Jerome and his assistant, Mr..
Caravan, stand when the paper was sprung.
1t fell upon the prosecutors like thunder
bolt.
Miss Pearce, in reply to questions put by
Mr.. Delmas, said that she had been asked
to witness the signing Of the will. She iden-
titled her signature to the document, and
then Mr.. Jerome asked what was done the
night the viii was signed.
II was asked to sign it as a witness and
to witness the signatures of others and !

Witness said that she understood the doc
un1ent to be the will of Harry K. ThaW and
therefore did not know its contents. She
was asked by the district attorney the fol-
lowing significant question:

1t was at this point that Mr.. Deimas for
maIiy offered the will in evidence and 1t
was at this point also that Mr.. Jerome made
more emphatic his objections. Mr. Jerome
stated that his principal objection-his os-
tensfble objection-was before the will could
be made a part of the evidence some con-
elusive proof should be shown that the in
strzfment Is in the same condition now as II
was on the day 1t was signed. Mr.. Jerome
also spoke aDout me voiuminOusne6s OF the

A Washington reporter to the

ing to say Of Claude Kitchin's seat
in the House Of Representatives:
When the perfunctory organiza-
ton of the House was over, the al
lotment of seats to members began.
The drawing for seats, which was q
game of chance. was followed with
much interest. Representatives
Claude Kitchin and Webb were the
luckiest members Of the delegation.
Mr.. Kitchin's name was called soon
after the drawing began and he had
the choice of nearly all the desirable
seats in the House. The represent
tative from the Second selected an
end seat in the middle aisle facing
tie speaker. He is Immediately be-
hind Minority Leader John Sharp

from Representative Burton, of Ohio.

Eat More Candy.

"Give children plenty of pure su-
gar, taffy and butterscotch and
they'll have little need of cod-liver
OIL" says DR.. Woods Hutchinson in
the Christmas Woman's Home Com
panion.
In short, sugar is, after meat,
bread and butter, easily our next
most important and necessary food.
You can put the matter to a test
very easily. Just leave off the pie,
pudding Or other desserts at your
lunch or midday dinner. You'll
be astonished to find how quickly
you'll feel empty again, and how
unfinished the meal will seem. You
can't get any working man to accept
a dinner pail without pie in it. And
he's absolutely right. The only
thing that can take the place Of su-
gar here is beer or wine. 1t is 8
significant fact that the free-lunch
counters run in connection with bars
furnish every imaginable thing ex-
cept sweets. Even the restaurants
and lunch grills attached to saloons
or bars often refuse to serve des-
serts of any sort. They know their
business! The more sugar and
sweets a man takes at meal, the
less alcohol he wants. Conversely,
nearly every drinking man will tell
you that he has lost his taste for
sweets. The more candy a nation
consumes, the less alcohol.
"The United States government
buys pure candy by the ton and
ships it to the Philippines to be sold
at cost to the soldiers in the canteens.
All men crave it in the tropics, and
the more they get of it, the less
vino and whiskey they want.
''In fine, the prejudice against
sugar is born of puritanism and
stinginess, equal parts. Whatever
children cry for MUST be bad for
them, according to the pure doc
trine Of original sin; besides, it costs
money. l know families in the
rural districts yet where the head Of
the family groans over every dollar S
worth of sugar that comes into the
house as a sinful and 'unwholesome'

CANCER and kEAT.EATING,
Chicago investigations Appear to Es.
taDliSh Close Cennecilen,

| Current Literaturs.)
Nothing could seem more definite
than the connection between cancer
and the practice Of eating inferior
meat traced by DR.. G. Cooke Adams
in series Of statistical studies given
out last month by the Chicago board
of health. There cannot be the
slightest doubt" to employ the posi-
tive language of this expert British
investigator, that the great increase
in cancer among the foreign-born in
Chicago over the prevalence of that
disease in their native country is due
to the increased consumption Of ami
NAL foods, particularly those derived
from diseased animals" This conclu-
sion substantiates the original dedu-
tions made by DR.. Adams from in
vestigations conducted in Australia
and London, and extended over a
number Of years. The foreign-born
in Chicago are enabled through high
er rates of wages to indulge in a meat
diet denied them in Europe. They
make use of the supplies derived
from condemned animals and from
the canned products or establish
ments handling tuberculosis and dis
eased cattle. This increase in can
Ger is accelerated by the influx Of
foreigners willing to eat even in
ferior grades of meat. So much
may by demonstrated, insisted DR..
Adams, by study Of the vital sta
tistics of any American city. The
tables for Chicago give stricking re-
suits. In that city, according to
official figures, between 1856 and
1866 there was an increase in the
death rate from cancer Of $50 per
cent, while from 1866 to 1905 the
increase was 232 per cent. The mere
percentages would be misleading did
we not know that In 1856 but one in
each 1000 deaths was from cancer,
whereas, in 1866 this had increased
to one in each 164. In 1905 it was
one in twenty-three deaths, while in
1906 one death in every 21.0 was due
to this disease.
