In an effort to improve the milk supply,
Health Officer w. c. Woodward yesterday
submitted to the Commissioners the draft
Of a proposed regulation making compul-
sorry the tuberculin test Of cattle. Here
tofore a tuberculin test has been volun-
tary, but in view Of the recent state
ments regarding the relation Of the milk
supply TO the prevalence OF disease. 1t is
/ believed that the time has come to make
it compulsory, and that It Is within the
power OF ths District government TO do so.
! DR.. Woodward states that beyond ques-
/ tion tuberculosis is communicable among
/ dairy cattle, and it has, IN his judgment,
been demonstrated TO be communicable
through milk from dairy cattle 10 human
/ beings.
The proposed regulations provide that
NO person shalt in the District Of Co
lumbia, sell milk or cream. or offer milk
or cream for sale or for manufacture into
food products, or bring or procure to be
brought milk or cream into said District
for sale or for manufacture into food
products. or manufacture milk or cream
into any food product, unless the COW or
cows by which said milk or cream IS pro-
duced have been proven. by means Of the
tubercuiin test, TO be free from tubercu-
losis, as hereinafter specified.
Must Be Applied 20 All Cows.
'"Fhe tuberculn test shall be applied to
every COW on every farm at least
once In every twelve months. and any
COW which gives positive reac-
ton TO the use of tubercuiin shall be
considered tubereuIous, and shall i'm
mediately be removed from said farm,
and shall nos thereafter be returned 10
said farm, nor used for the production
Of milk or cream for sale or for manu-
faeture into food products IN the District
OF Columbia
Every COW found TO be free from
tuberculosis SHAH be permanently marked
by means Of an ear tag furnished by the
health department Of the District.
"AN inspections and tuberculin testing
required shall be made by veterinarians
satisfactory to the District Health officer
or 10 the chief Of the Bureau OF Animal
Industry OF the Department OF Agricul-
ture
|. Fight on Against Flies Also.
DR.. Woodward also submitted to the
Commissioners a draft of regulations In
tended to procure the proper screening OF
food against flies and 10 provide for the
equipment Of places where food Is sold
with facilities Tor proper sanitation.
The regulations include every store
market, dairy, cafe. lunchroom, or any
place In the District where food or bev-
erage or confectionery is manufactured.

The Minister'S Pay.
(Chicago Tribune.)

There is a general opinion that
men enter the ministry because they
feel called to do a special work, not
In order to make good income. The
work, not the pay, is the important
thing. 1t is not difficult for the lay
man to foget all about the needs OF
the pocket-book while emphasizing
the obligations Of the profession. If
the humiliating situation in which
the ministers often find themselves
shall be brought to public attention
as the Methodists have brought it.,
there may be hope that those who
contribute the funds for support may
realize that the modern minister can
not he a mendicant without scrip Of
shoes. A self-respecting man who is
decently clothed and fed and who can
give his family the same advantages
men in other walks in life give theirs,
will feel far more zest in his noble
calling thar the one who must scrimp
and save AT every turn to keep soul
and body together. That this is Of
ten the situation seems to be evident
from the reports which come from
many quarters.

Tall Shooting in West Virginia.
(Staunton, Va, Spectator.)

(Staunton, Va, ,Spectator.)
There is an old Confederate SOL
der now visiting some friends in
Greenbrier county, West Virginia,
who was holy terror in battle. He
was shot from way back. He came
to the reunion at Richmond nd
stopped off. Among his feats Of
craftsmanship the following simple
exploits, we are told, are performed.
He can suspend bottle by string,
shoot and cut the string, and then
break the bottle with another shot
before it hits the ground. With a
small caliber gun and large lead
pencil he can knock the lead out,
when the pencil is thrown into the
air, and not injure the wood cover
ing. A favorite pastime with him is
to start a barrel rolling down hill
and put a bullet through the bung-
hole every time the barrel turns over.
We call this good shooting.

dredth and twenty-second Annual

thodist Episcopal Church, South, will

sure you that an earnest effort will
be made to give each and every SUBJ
scriber the worth of their money.

Ledger direct, or handed to your local
minister, who will attend to it for
you.

(From the State.)

Bish! the rock struck the colored
boy squarely on the cocoanut.
Now you are in for it." whisper
ed Tom.
mot me, you did it. Say, think
he Is going to croak, sure enough"
And it did seem that way, for the
diminutive darky was lying limp on
the ground.
Having read the stories of Dick
Merriwill and of the heroes of Tip
Top Weekly, Jim, the older, assumed
a tragic air and spoke thusly: LET
us away. To the tall woods for us,
and there to live upon berries and
herbs. Let US leave to others the
work of burying the victim. Come,
there is no time to lose, say"
Once within the shadow of the
woods Of Lexington, the boasting air
was gone and the two boys lay hud-
died close to each other-and, finally
slept. With the morning came the
thoughts Of home and what was of
more Importance just at that time
something to eat. And then came
the longing to return, even II for a
few minutes only, to see how things
We're. Twas ever thus. The victim
draws his adversary to the accursed
spot.
And Tom, the younger, began to
cry, which so unnerved Jim that he
cried out with disgust, albeit being at
heart delighted: Come on, kid, I'll
take the baby home"
And as the savory odor of the mid
day meal floated over the field the
two boys were seen cautiously ap-
preaching back to the home in Ward
4. And as they came nearer to the
scene Of the tragedy of the night be-
fore, their eyes were gladdened by
sight Of him whom they had thought
their vfctim-for SNOWFALL was mere
ly hit in the head. A patch on the
colored boys Uranium was all that re-
minded him Of the affair, while the
two remorsefuls had the experience
of a night spent alone in the wilds
OF the Dutch Fork to relate to their
chums. Tom, however,
had bribed Jim not to say anything
about his wanting to come home.
But the story got out yesterday.

A Celibate Clergy.
NASHVILLE Tennesseean. }

lSHuSSSS6du.)
Bishop Capers, of the South Caro-
lima Diocese of the Episcopal Church,
recommends five-Tn'r period Of
celibacy for young ministers. There
Is much to support the wisdom of
such advice. In the first place, the
charges given the young divine in
the early years of his ministry are
rarely large or wealthy and the sup
port Is insufficient to support a fam
lily, while 1t may be entirely ade-
quate for the Leeds of q single man.
Then a period Of celibacy with no
family cares and distractions, will
enable the young preacher to con-
centrate on his work and put in the
study and reading that means 30
much of the modern clergyman's
equipment and qualification for use
full and effective work in his profess
sion.
Young preachers, as a rule, marry
too early, and Bishop Capers' recon-
mendation on the matter is made af-
ter long period Of observations, in
which most probably the venerable
bishop has seen the disadvantage of
this practice in it's results on the
church and the ministry. But it is
certain that to hold the young clergy
back from matrimony for five years
will be job Of some difficulty in any
Protestant church.

A Tribute

We are so lonely here since Little
Viola left US.
Another little lamb has gone to dwell
with Him who gave,
Another little darling babe is shell
tered in the grave. A.
God needed one more angel child
amidst his shining band,
And so He bent, with loving smile,
and clasped our darling's hand.
Three little angels now on High
They hand in hand together roam, -
Three links now bind us to the skYN
Three fingers beckon us to come.
Lord give us the strength our loss to
bear,
And lead us in the heavenly way. y
Oh, may we meet our children there
In realms Of everlasting day.

LETTER FROM BRowNLow.
Having Great Time Down in Cuba
With the Soldiers.

Trinidad, Cuba, October 21.-
Editors Courier and Friends: After
long time l will write you and all
another letter, so as to let you know
how am and how all Of us Jolly
soldier boys are getting along.
Everything is in good shape; all get
ting along fine and having one more
good old lively time.
Since wrote you all last several
OF my friends and have taken a few
more delightful trips down to the
sea coast, and we had lively time.
We also have taken several hikes out
In the mountains and visited several
of the caves there. The scenery was
fine and we had plenty Of nice fruit
on our way.
Last pay day, which was Septem-
ber 23d, four my friends and got
permission from our commanding
officer TO. four days leave, and we
hired a horse apiece and saddled up
and pulled out for small place call
ed Seladad, Cuba. which is forty
miles across the mountains, and we
paid the boys of the Fifteenth Cav
airy visit. We had fine old time,
for they were glad to see us. 1t is
no trouble Tor us to have fine time,
for when soldier boys meet they
seem like old chums. 1t would take
me week to write and tell the good
time we had, SO I will just leave it
for you and all to imagine.
The trip across the mountains was
grand, for we found plenty Of good
mineral water to drink on our way,
and also had some when we arrived
In camp. Just think of such a time
we did have-had it going and COM
Ing. Talk about your good times!
l am sure having mine. l hope some
of my friends around Walhalla are
enjoying themselves like I am. If
they are l know they are all O. k.
We have our target practice two
times week as usual, and 1t just
suits me, for do like to handle my
good old Kragg-Jorgenson rife-just
my delight.
We have fine time playing foot
ball and base ball. The soldier boys
neverafail to have a good time.
Well, l guess l had better quit
writing for this time and save lit
tie for next. So, with hest wishes
and good luck to you and all, l will
close. Respectfully,
F. B. Oelkers.
