WOULD INSPECT DAIRY FARMS
SECRETARY WILSON'S PLAN TO
COMBAT TYPHOID.
Will Ask Congress for Authority to
Provide Regulations in Interest
of Public Health.

Secretary Wilson has determined to ask
Congress for authority to inquire into the
interstate commerce Of dairy products ana
provide for regulation to prevent the spread
Of tuberculosis and typhoid germs. The
Department Of Agriculture has had no diff
ficulty in locating the root of the disease
germs on the dairy farms, but the federal
authorities have been powerless to- handle
the situation there, and their only hope
of remedying a growing danger is by deal
ing with the interstate commerce In the
dairy products of the farms
Inspection of Dairy Farms.
The method under consideration by the
Department of Agriculture is similar to that
employed in dealing with diseased meats.
Secretary Wilson believes that with com
paratively small appropriation the pure food
laws and inspection service can be ex-
tended to dairy products, and in short
time dairy farmers would be ready to ha
the government make periodical examina-
tons of mich cows. Investigation has
shown that It Is usually old cows that give
diseased milk, as tuberculosis seldom Is
found in young animals.
Typhoid fever among clerks in the De-
partment Of Agriculture awakened Secre-
tary Wilson to the necessity of taking some
action concerning the sale of germ-infected
milk, butter and cheese. He gave instruc-
tions to the bureau of animal industry to
begin a private inspection Of dairy farms in
the vicinity of Washington. The work was
facilitated by promising the dairy farmers
that the reports Of the inspection would not
be made public.
Startling Situation Disclosed.
The promise has been adhered to. but
situation was disclosed that requires fed
eral inquiry and regulation. For instance,
it was found that large percentage Of the
,tv,S hod fllh I,
some form and that 1t was spreading to
hogs. 1t was found that the milk from old
cows on these farms was laden with dan
gerous germs and that butter and cheese
made from the milk was not free from dis
ease.
If the Department Of Agriculture is given
the authority 1t wants 1t will not be long
before bottles and cans Of milk and cream
will contain labels that the product is from
cows Inspected by the United States gov
eminent and found free from disease. Pack
ages of butter and cheese also will show
that the products have been inspected.

Onion asa Disjnfectant.

There is, writes London correspond. ent, a stratum of common sense in the advice given by north country teacher to her scholars, "If you have cholera or scarlet fever in the house, put some onions under the bed and they will sweep away all disease" for the onion proved it's virtue in a remarkable way years ago, when cholera ragged through out London. It was noticed with sur prise that one of the most insanitary districts-Saffron Hill and it's neigh borhood-was almost exempt from the visitation. The majority of the inhab- itants being Italians were great onion eaters, and strings of this vegetable were found suspended from the ceiling in nearly every room. The medical officer of health concluded that the onion. among its many virtues, con- tains a powerful antidote against chol- era morbus and possibly other diseases.

Medteina In Ancient Eayot.

There is much evidence in inscrip- tions and manuscripts that the ancient Egyptians Draetieed medicine and sur, gery extensively. Probably their prac- ttce was based on little knowledge of anatomy. Each physician treated only one or two diseases The sick were exposed in public places so that others who had suffered similarly might tell them of helpful remedies. Diseases of the eye were best understood and re- celved both medical and surgical treat ment. The most important medical manuscript found in Egypt Is the Uapyrus Ebers, written 5000 B. c. and discovered in Memphis. Disease, &C., cording to the Egyptians, was due to the anger of some deity, the result of the triumph of evil In It's struggle with good, an idea which Is still very gen. eral throughout Africa and Asia and which at some time has been prevalent In modified forms in almost every race. -"Records of the Past

In Eou.

Nothing has such a bewildering ef- feet as fog Only animals which find their way by scent can get about in it with any certainty. Birds are entirely confused by it. Tame pigeons remain all day motiOnless and half asleep, hud- dled up. either in or just outside their pigeon houses. Chickens remain mo- tionless for hours during heavy fogs. No bird sings or utters call, perhaps because it fears to betray its where abouts to an unseen foe, During one very thick fog d b.jn,! man was found wandering about l certain district of London. This man was in the habit of coming up every day from a suburb. carrying notes and parcels. and had scarcely ever lost his way before. Ask ed why he had gone astray Gor he w;t> quite blind, and it was supposed thai weather would have made no differ ence), he said that ill a fog the ground sounded quite differently"

What He Lost,

A travelling man was leaning agains, the counter in the hotel gazing dis consolately at the floor.
 Lose something?" gueried the hotel clerk.
 A nod of the head answered,
 Was 1t very valuable?'
 Twice with the nod.
 "Sure you had it wben you came in hereY'
 A third nod. His face was growing wistful.
 "You should have put it in the safe" Could not have done that very we'll"
 His voice quivered.
 The clerk stretched his neck and gasped, "Why, what was it?"
 Ut was," the travelling man began, but he choked-"it was-my job"
 'Oh, pardon me minute, the phoue Is ringing" And the clerk tiptoed soft ly away. A dismal stiffness reigned.- San Francisco Chronicle.

Huuo and Verdi.

Verdi labored long before he per suaded Victor Hugo, who was vexed that the tragic beauties of his "Le Roi S'Amuse' had been turned into operatic effects, to attend a perform ance of "Rigoletto." He succeeded at length, and Hugo sat in the box with the composer and listened to the op- era. But not word did he speak. Verdis impatience got the better of him. and he asked:
 "Well. what say you-about the quar- tet, for instance?'
 Show me way in which four per sons can be permitted to speak simul- taneously," replied the poet, "and I will write something more beautiful than your quartet"

Early Dentistry.

The art of dentistry was practiced among the Egyptians and Etruscans, and skulls that in very ancient times teeth were filled and efforts were made to supply the loss of natural by arti- icial teeth. The first writer on the treatment of diseased teeth was Ga len. The science was introduced into America by John Greenwood, who es- tablished himself in New York in 1788. In 1790 and again in 1795 he carved in ivory an entire set of teeth for General Washington.
