OF the venous circulation, or else by
the lymphatics into the veins and
thence to the lungs The report says
THE practical conclusion to be
drawn from the results obtained In
that ingestion is a greater danger than
the respiration of tubercle bacilli es-
pecially as the tubercle bacilli may be
ingested in the fresh state in which
they are expelled from tuberculosis
LESSONS and cannot be respired until
they have been subjected to various
alternating processes. The substance
in which tubercle bacilli are enveloped
or imbedded when they leave the In.
fected organs under ordinary and US
ual conditions requires considerable
time before it can be sufficiently dried
and pulverized to float in the air. Ba-
cilli do not rise from moist surfaces
and float in the air. The complete des-
location that must occur in advance
of pulverization Is either a compare
lively slow process or is fastened by
agencies, like the heat from the direct
rays of the sun, that have potent
influence against the vitality OF patho-
genie bacteria.
"Sputum, for example, dries on the
surface in a way that coats it with
protective membrane through which
evaporation progresses slowly; 1t is
a very adhesive substance, and be.
comes more so during the first stages
Of drying, and 1t must be exposed when
thoroughly dried to actual attrition be-
fore 1t can be detached from the sur
face on which it has dried and reach
sufficient disintegration to the blown
about as dust"
The expermenters summarize their
conclusions as follows:
Tuberculosis Is disease contract
ed through the ingestion of tubercle
bacilli.
THE lung is the most frequent organ
affected, independently of the point at
which the infectious material enters
the body.
"Tuberculous infection may pass
from one part of the body to another
OF LESSONS to mark its path.
Fresh tuberculous material has the
highest, and dried and pulveriged ms
terial doubtful significance.
"Tuberculous material from cattle
has the highest virulence for all tested
species Of the mammalian kingdom, to
which man anatomically and physiol-
ogically belongs, and tuberculous ma
terial from man has lower virulence
Man is constantly exposed to fresh
tuberculous material in helpless way
through his use Of dairy products from
tuberculous cows and cows associated
with tuberculous cattle"
1t seems from this array Of facts,
the report says, every one of which is
based on positive experimental evil
dence, that we should feel no doubt re-
garding our plain duty, which is, no
matter what other measures we adopt
in our fight against tuberculosis, not
to neglect one of the chief, II not the
most important, source of infection
] the tubercular dairy COW.

CEMENT BLockplAnI DESTROYED
0obbler 4 Gobbier Suffer Completes
Loss in Old Creamery.

Gobbler & Gobbler. whose cement
block manufacturing plant was located
in the old creamery building which
has just burned, will resume business
Immediately, although they suffered a
loss that is heavy. Their molds and
stock were burned and they estimate
the loss at $1100, insured for $3.50.
The cement blocks in the building
were not hurt by the fire but they were
crushed by the massive falling timbers
when the creamery collapsed. Mr.
Gobbler says that the cement floor
burned, up, literally, and there is but
patch four feet square left today to
tell the story. He says that this was
the first cement floor he ever saw burn.
The cement blocks were red hot from
the fire.
Mr.. Gobbler says that II the fire had
waited few days he would have had
his plant out Of the building, because
he was making room for the creamery
that was to be installed He was un-
able to get more than $3.50 insurance
because the building was so far away
from water and was vacant.
Mr.. Gobbler states that the strup.
ture had been a nest for tramps for
years.

FOR CARNEGIE Library
COMMERCIAL CLUB THINKS NOR
FOLK RIPE FOR 1T.

Secretary Mathewson Says That the
Commercial Club Believes Norfolk
Would Gladly Support it, as Value
is Recognized by Public.
Norfolk is ripe for Carnegie library
according to the belief Of the Com
mercial club. Secretary Mathewson,
in speaking of this belief, says that It
is thought Norfolk has arrived at the
point where a Carnegie library would
be willingly and gladly supported by
the city. and that such an institution
should be asked for.
The Carnegie library can be secured
il Norfolk will agree to spend one
tenth the value Of the building each
year in maintaining the institution. It
is said that a library building costing
$4,000 could be secured for Norfolk
and it is believed by the Commercial
club that ten percent Of that. or 81, 900
per year, could be raised by taxation
without any trouble whatsoever, since
the value of such an institution is rec.
ognized by all. This expense would
call for a two-mill levy, or about TWEEN
ty cents per year on each 500 OF as
sessed valuation.

city council only one voted for the

Two weeks ago Councilman Meow

the issuance OF 100000 bonds for

At this weeks general council meet

Two weeks ago the city council of
Joliet, ILL.,, sent a committee to Omaha
to examine the workings of this mar

body at Joliet, 1t being the intentions
OF that city to construct municipal
