THE WHITE PLAGIE

oIdIe NelelludTldH MChlm, IN a let
ter to The News, says that there is
more danger of tuberculosis from the
drinking of tubercular milk and the
eating of tubercular meat than there
Is from breathing air in which germs
may have been set afloat from tuber-
cular sputum. He takes issue with
statement recently quoted in this pa
per from a physician in which it was
doubted whether tubercAlar germs
could travel from stomach to lungs,
and he accompanies his argument with
the report of a special investigating
committee appointed by the secretary
of agriculture at Washington, which
shows that tubercular germs intro
duced in the tail of a calf and three
hogs travelled rapidly to the lungs and
caused death ar fatal symptoms. State
Veterinarian McKim expresses the
hope that i state law one day may
be passed in Nebraska providing that
all meats sold in every town must be
subjected to inspection by a compe
tent veterinarian.
This local inspection is now enjoyed
in California and Kansas is seeking
the same end. Some of the towns and
cities of Nebraska have already pre-
coded the state law, and have made the
provision themselves. Norfolk needs
such protection and every other town
needs it; Nebraska needs such a law
and, as is pretty effectively shown in
the letter of DR.. McKim, this and ev-
cry other state needs such a law-and
such laws enforcement
The spread of tuberculosis among
hogs in Nebraska is said by State Vet
erinarian McKim to be alarming. And
the cause has not yet been determined.
Whether it comes from the fact that
hogs are following tubercular herds
of cattle, or whether from the feeding
of more separated milk, seems to be
puzzling the scientists.
If 1t is true, as the states veterina-
rian here points out, that this disease
is spreading at such a rapid rate
among hogs and that possibly this is
due to a spread of the disease among
cattle, and since it is shown that TAX
ing a germ into the stomach by way of
milk can result in tuberculosis of the
lungs If the person is predisposed or
In weakened condition, then surely
the appeal of DR.. McKim for law re-
quiring state inspection is one of vital
Importance to every citizen, every fam
lily in this commonwealth, and ought
to be given attention.
An incident was recounted in this
paper some days ago of tubercular
COW that was found between Norfolk
and Battle Creek. The animal had
been sick, yet the owner hesitated to
kill her. Finally the COW was killed
and the lungs were found to be a nest
of tuberculosis. Milk from that herd
has been going into Omaha to be
churned into butter Some of the peo-
pie who eat that butter will throw of
the germs, by their strong constitu-

BUSINESS MEN FIGHT.
Bloody Battle on the Streets of Madi-
son.


Madison, Neb.. Feb. Especial to
The News: P;Doably the bloodiest
battle ever fought in this city took
place yesterday afternoon between two
business men, Otto Kamrath, imple-
ment dealer and Tim Kennedy, man
ager of threshing machine. The fight
started in the implement house and
when it was over the combattants were
clear across the street, having fought
every inch of the distance. Kamrath
lost the end of his finger, which was
bitten off by his adversary, and Ken
nedy came out with broken thumb.
Both belligerehts were badly bruised
and cut and both were bleeding pro-
fusely when separated.
The fight started over the collection

Directors of the new creamery com

to maintain an Office down town where
cream could be bought and butter re-

be adopted now, but it is said that a
building may be erected down town.

who ordered the inquired. He finds:
ut Is a fair inference from all the
testimony that the real cause OF the
coal scarcity in North Dakota was
such an abundance of westbound traf.
fc at the head OF the lakes, that cars
we're not available in the c~ongested
state of that terminal. for the carry

In his letter of transmission to the
President, Mr.. Lane says that the re.
port will be followed in due course by
the special recommendations of the
commission as n whole as to whatever
Legislation, II any, may be deemed ad.
v;sable.
Referring to the report that the
coal shortage was due to the presence
of a trust or a combination between
dealers in coal who fixed prices in the
northwest, and refused TO sell to "out.
siders" and 'irregalars" the report
says:
1.-THE commission has gained indis.
putable proof of an agreement be.
tween coal dealers to maintain prices
and to boycott all who do not so
agree; but there is no evidence at all
jnstifying the contention that this
combination is c%hargeable with the
coal shortage prevailing, nor that the
railroads were a party In such a way
