come later and they have the ad-
vantage OF all the accumulated ex-
perience We have had to go upon.

tuberculosis has developed among
them.
II have watched the matter very
closely. insist on all infants
brought under my care being fed on

valuable qualities. and as have sat-

that the tubercular bacillus in cattle

many minds that there Is danger OF

with Enthusiasm.
AN UNUSUAL SIGHT
Three Hundred Thousand People Go
Wild When the Matchless Fight
ing Machines of Our Navy Drop
Anchor In San Pedro Harbor--
Coast Lined With SPECTATORS,

Los Angeles, CAL, April 23.-The
battleship fleet dropped anchor of
San Pedro and received the most en-
thusiastic welcome of the entire
cruise.
For nearly thirty miles the coast
seemed to be fringed with people.
Steamers. launches, sailing craft.
tugs, yachts. power boats swarmed
over the water. Every craft was
loaded to the gunwale and every
throat of the yelling thousands was
soon as hoarse as fog whistle. The
California feet frenzy extended far
out TO sea.
When the anchors dropped 1t
seemed as If all southern California
had come out to blacken the hills.
The officials of San Pedro came
on to greet Admiral Thomas and to
say the usual fine things with their
welcome.
Los Angeles is all decorated and
nnssed up over the fleet. The decor
atoms are similar to those Of San
Diego. There's limit to the possi-
oility Of decorating buildings with
ountings and flags. Los Angeles
has gone the limit.
As the ships became visible to
the crowds on the bluffs at San
Pedro 100000 thousand pairs of
ayes watched their movement with
intense interest.
As they drew nearer, sailing past
the beaches. the excitement in
creased, and when the Connecticut
approached the breakwater a fever
of cheering set in.
Five thousand automobiles were
ranged along the bluffs, and they
aught the enthusiasm, adding their
"honk honk' to the demonstration.
In the immediate vicinity of Los
Angeles fully 100000 people were
Eathered along the beach and trans
qortation facilities from the city have
been strained to the utmost limit.
Long trains literally packed with
passengers were run at Ave minute
intervals.
