MORE STRINGENT LAW
HEALTH OFFICE TO ENFORCE
TUBERCULIN TEST.

According to the laws of the District OF
Columbia the local health department is
practically helpless to secure reliable and
authoritative statistics in determining what
percentage of the cows from which the
Washington milk supply is taken are infect
ed with tuberculosis. The only way by
which a correct percentage of cows infected
can be determined according to tn. health
officer and prominent veterinarians. Is the
compulsory application of the tuberculin
test. The test, which has been previously
described in The Star, Is considered practi-
cally certain, and the Commissioners will
make an earnest effort in the next Congress
to obtain a law making these tests compul-
sorry in the District, with a view Of reduc-
ing the spread of tuberculosis.
There are approximately 10000 mich
cows that supply milk to the local consum-
ers Numerous estimates were recently
made by medical men of the possible per-
eentage of this number that have tubercu-
losis Dr. Woodward. the health officer,
stated today that he believes % per cent,
or $500 cows out of the 10000, TO be fair
and conservative estimate of the number
infected. He~based his estimate upon tuber-
cultn tests made with the consent of the
dairymen at dozen or so dairy farms.
However, he looks upon these tests as 30
limited that he would not care to place his
estimate record as authentic.
Speaking of the transmissal of tuberculosis
from diseased cattle to humans, DIR. Wood
ward quoted q recent report made by the
royal commission OF Great Britain, which was
appointed several years ago by parliament
to thoroughly investigate the subject of
human and animal tuberculosis and to de-
termine to what extent, If any, the disease
is transmissible through milk to humans
The report of this commission shows that
without the slightest doubt the disease Il
