DEATHS DURING THE WEEK
MR.. DONALD ALLEN

Mr.. Donald Allen died at his home
here at an early hour Tuesday night
after long illness. His death was not
surprise as he had been i'll for more
than a year, but he was on the streets
short time before his death, and it
was hoped by his family and friends
that so soon as warm weather came he
would improve, but such was not the
case. The city of Staunton has long
claimed Mr.. Allen. In his youth,
shortly after he graduated from Wash
ington d Lee University, he came to
Staunton and was employed by the
city in scheme of internal improve
ment which today evidences his ability
as an engineer and his strong indi-
viduality as man. The reservoir and
present water system were built under
his engineering, and were the best the
city could inaugurate at that date.
They were far beyond anything any
city in Virginia of the size of Staunton
had essayed, and they stand as noun
ments to Mr.. Allen and his associates,
of which they may justly feel proud.
The streets of StauntOn were also
greatly improved under him, indeed
the first real step toward substantial
advancement were made with him at
the head of theengineering department.
After this he went west and engaged in
railroading, where he remained until
his health failed when he returned to
his old home here to pass his few re-
naming years with his family and
among his friends. Mr.. Aliens reputa-
ton as man, as soldier, as public
servant, as an officer in the railways
with which he became associated, is
legacy which will always be dear to
his family. He served in every capac-
ity faithfully and well. He was
cadet in the battle of New Market and
bore himself as became that historic
band. In 1879 he married Miss Mary
Halle of this city, and she and four
childred survive him. The funeral
took place yesterday afternoon from
Trinity Episcopal church, and was
largely attended, many of his old COM
rades in arms of Stonewal Jackson
Camp being present.

tuberculosis in Butter and Milk.

Circular 127 of the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the Department Of Agricul-
| ture on "Tubercle Bacilli in Butter
Their Vitality and Significance" shows
that butter made from the milk of
tuberculouS cows continues sometimes
to be source of tuberculosis to persons
who eat ii six months or more after the
churning. 1t was formerly thought
that consumption was got by breathing
into the lungs air containing the germs
OF the disease. The fact that the lungs
are very often infected favored the view.
But experiments have now convinced
physicians that the baciIli of tuber-
culosis, or consumption, find their way
from the stomach and other intestines
'thrOugh the intestinal walp' into the
blood and then into the lungs. The
circular speaks of ''the constantly ac-
cumulating evidence that pulmonary
tuberculosis in man and animals arises
from infection through the intestine J"
1t is accordingly not SO much the air
we breathe as the uninspected and i'm
pure milk we drink and butter we eat
that plant in our lungs and other parts
of the body the tubercles that constitute
consumption. 'sThe introduction of
tubercle bacilli into the body with food
may lead directly" says the circular,
'to the development of pulmonary
tuberculosis without LESSONS of the all
mentary canal Dust particles, it is
stated, never penetrate deeper than into
the first branches yf the bronchi, and
the disease never begins its develop
ment in the bronehi, but in the capill-
aries-the final and smallest branches
of the air tubes. 1t is affirmed positive
ly by Aufrecht that sthe inhalation
theory for lung tuberculosis is no longer
tenable." 1t is the food we must look
to.
Consumption is possibly sometimes
contracted by breathing air containing
floating germs of the disease, but the
doctrine that it comes also, and perhaps
oftener, through eating bad food is dec
Jared to be "well-established truth
The flesh of tubercuIous animals, tuber-
culous milk and tuberculous butter are
therefore the things to be avoided.
Cream has more bacilli than milk, and
butter made from tuberculosis cream is
accordingly dangerous. Embedded in
ordinary sailed butter the bacilli remain
virulent after SO days. Butter, in fact,
is described as an excellent preservative
of bacilli in all their virulence. AS the
bacilli from tuberculous cows infect
man, and especially children, it follows
that ''it is imperatively necessary for
the protection of public heulth that all
dairy herds be cleared of tuberculous
cows" by frequent inspection, and till
that is done milk should be boiled be-
fore being used.

header. Hughes was especially effec-

Slime, who stood us on u heads

at least n game. Kid Mueller asked
to be worked and he was given the
sign to take the mound. In the six
innings that he pitched he vas in very
little danger, and the Tigers clouted
Slime when they needed the rallies.
There was no scoring in this game for
the Grays.

hopes that the Grays could finish IN

ter. S~tallings is confident of making a
clean sweep His fight will be to hold
second place.
Providence fans are crying for Duffy
to beat out the Tigers and today's game
may decide this. The Orioles will play
again at Jersey City, where they were
nearly beaten yesterday. They can't
lose the p%ennant now, so the big fight
is for second place. The Tigers have it,
but the Skeeters may upset them at
any time.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-The season OF
baseball just passed has been a profit

owners who met here with President
O'Brien yesterday. With the excep-
ton of M. e. Cantillon, of Mime

league We're present.
President O'Brien said that while no
formal action was taken, informal
statements were unanimously against
any attempt to enter major league ter
rltorv. A wish was expressed that the
schedule for 1909 be made as nearly
similar to that of this season as pos
sible. It was decided to hold the an
nual meeting Of the association De-
cember &c, at Chicago, at which time
among other things the new schedule
will be drawn up and the pennant for
mally awarded to Indianapolis.

beat the Grays out of their last chance

day at Wiedenmayer Park, and the
game will be called at $3.50 and tomor-
row at the same hour.
The Grays did not surrender their
chances for the pennant without a game
effort. The Grays played better bah
than they did at Jersey City, but this
was the time that the Tigers needed
the games very badly and played regu-
lar road ball.
Long Tom Hughes had his revenge,
and little Kid Mueller also got some.
BY far the largest week day crowd o.
the season was present yesterday. They
rooted royalty for the Bengals, and
their roofing brought reward. 1t was

A. u. MAY CAST
OFF ENGLISH BODY.

NEW YORK. Sept. 1S.-It has become
known that the officials of the Amateur
Athletic Union of the United States arc
seriously considering severing all rela-
tons with the Amateur Athletic Union
of England, which was chiefly respon-
sible for Tom Longboat, the Indian
runners competing in the Marathon
race at London, Notwithstanding he
had beer declared a professional by
the former body.
It is said hat If the present feelings
of some of the A. A. L. members dc not
undergo a change by the time the board
of governors has its annual meeting in
November. all athletic ties between the
two countries will be discontinued.
The feeling shown toward the Amer
lean committee at the Olympic games
has nothing to do with this attitude of
the A. A. u. officials, the running of
L%ongboat being the sole cause.
