CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
Many shipped to Market I'm Inhumnn
and Illegal Manner.

The local humane society is netting
with a great deal of unnecessary trouble
and Inconvenience through the inhuman
and illegal manner of shipping animals TO
market throughout the State at this sea-
son of the year Large numbers of cattle.
hogs, calves, and sheep are gathered
from the farmers. every animal that can
walk or be hauled to a railroad yard hav-
ing it's value and finding its way to mar
ket under most pitiful circumstances.
Lambs and calves are often loaded In the
same compartments with hogs that chew
the legs of the smaller animals and
otherwise worry them until It is no I'M
common sight to see from one to i've
calves dead in car.
one shipper has been heard to remark
that an animal was worth as much dead
as alive on reaching its destination,
which remark would tend to show what
care animals had received in transit.
Within the last month. a number of cars
have been ovorhauled and reloaded at
Burlington. and one car that passed
through here while Humane Agent Fuller
was busy IS reported to have had q dead
animals on reaching New York. Mr.. Ful-
Ter was called to Milton Saturday to
look after SOME cattle ABOUT TO De loaded
by one Blanchard and found them in q
yard with no protection and no facilities
for water or food and neither provided.
Tho agent ordered them held for feeding
which is the first time the society has
known a carload to be fed or watered be-
fore shipping. Car room for only about
two-thirds had been provided, as con-
sequence Of which Mr.. Fuller held about
% for later shipment
The agent reports that in his seven
years experience he has found most of
the trouble to exist from bad and Illegal
shipments of stock. II Is his desire to
follow up this part of the humane work
visiting all shipping places in this vicinity
until the matter can be regulated and
controlled.
The society is in need of funds to carry
on this part of the work, which Is expen-
sive. and when the money that is raised
in the city for other local enterprises Is
taken into consideration It feels that a
helping hand should he given sufficient
for the need of carrying on the work Of
reform. Mr. Fuller has found many cases
of inhuman treatment in the past two
| weeks. At Milton he found two horses
badly CALLED from poor care and badly
| fitting harness, and these, with four
others that he found in a lame condition,
| were ordered to pasture until cured.

THE PATHOLOGIST REPORTS.

Horst Oertel in the City RecordD
When IL Is held and truly so. that a
most unfortunate low tone and lack OF
responsibility is characteristic OF our pub
lie hospitals, it can be put down as the
lack of appreciation or knowledge on the
part OF those governing the city what It
means To introduce and UNFOLD the scien-
tinc spirit. No other spirit has such enor-
nous influence in the elevation of the
standard of any place. The greatness of
the German hospitals is not due to par
ticularly fine buildings or rich endow-
ments but to the influence of the self

Their spirit has directly and indirectly
permeated the whole, and affected ever
those only remotely connected with them

THE CARE OF THE STOMACH
Indigestion May Re Overcome by
simple Treatment And Attention
To Diet.

1t is useless to expect medicine to cure
you of dyspepsia while YOU continue to
asgravate your stomach by injurious
eating.
In the treatment Of these cases the
first thing to do is to get the mucus
membrane OF the stomach and intest!nes
into a healthy condition. This is best ac-
complished by drinking a glass of water,
as hot as 1t can he slipped, three times a
day one hour before meals
Next In importance comes attention to
the diet; since the digestive organs are
weakened only such foods should be
taken as are most easily digested. The
following Is n very good diet, says the
| July Delineator:
Breakfast;-An egg, soft boiled or
poached on toast; dry toast and a glass
of hot milk II the milk disagrees with
the stomach it may be diluted with one
third v!chy. If there is a tendency TO
constipation a baked apple may be added
without any sugar.
For lunch either raw or stewed oys-
ters in season. or cold roast lamb. beef
or chicken, bread. n very little butter,
apple sauce. stowcd pears or peaches,
and a glass of hot milk.
Dlnner-A thin soup; beef. lamb or
| chicken; vegetables raw or stewed cell
cry potatoes baked in the skin, aspara-
gus with white sauce. lettuce with
French dressing Gn this lemon juice and
not vinegar must be used in the proper
| ton of one Tablespoonful each of lemon
| juice and olive oil to twp tablespoonful
of water), cranberry jelly. No desserts
Water should be slipped slowly after the
| meal Is over.
When the digestion improves, a cup OF
weak tea may he taken for breakfast
| and lunch.

TAXATION PROBLEMS.


From the Montpelier JOurnal)
The commission on double taxation IS
discovering what good many students Of
State conditions have suspected for a
long time, viz, that half the taxation
troubles Of the State arise from the acts
OF listers, In two towns already exam
ined. a large and small town the COM
mission found just one list made out ac-
cording TO law. They also find it praCuc-
ally impossible to secure anything even
approximating intelligent Information
from the average town clerk. These two
facts are mere details In the problem, but
indicate the enormous scope of the sub
ect and the difficulties that confront the
commission. 1t is probably true that
nothing IN the way of a practical recon-
me ndation can be arrived at by the com
mission this fall. 1t is also true tina,
about half the injustice and inequality OF
the taxation system might be removed
by listers that knew their business and
appraised property according to that
oaths of office.
