So long as compulsory testing is not
the states policy therefore, and a
multitude of avenues for the introduc-
ton or dissemination of the disease
are still left unguarded, it would seem
to the Messenger that the present pol
icy largely amounts to simply throw
ing money away 80 far as the general
law is concerned. And II suggests
once more, that, failing law making
the testing of every head of cattle
mandatory, the only successful substi-
tute will be the higher law Of an ed
ucated public opinion that will posi-
lively refuse to buy an ounce Of beef
or gill of milk taken from cattle that
have not qualified under the tubercu.
losis test When the public is taught
to invoke this higher law. Of self pres
ervation, all the statutes that the leg
islature could pass from now to doonis
day would be unnecessary. And the
public would enforce its own law
without the expense of a simple far
thing of the state treasury.-St Al
bans Messenger.
In the long run the public can be de
pended upon to originate and enforce
it's own law and the decision of the
people on any important question Is
always ultimately right, but it must
be conceded that the progress of arr!v
Ing is many times slow and that HE
and property are frequently sacrificed
In the process Of evolution. The head
of the leading yellow journal Of this
country at a meeting of editors in
New York not long ago excused the
saffron methods Of his publications on
the ground that It was necessary TO
shock the American people in order
to acquire their attention. Should
It happen to the state of Vermont to
incur an epidemic Of tuberculosis that
could be definitely traceable 10 the
use of dairy products from diseased
cattle there would not be the slightest
hesitancy in the enactment Of legisla-
ton, making the testing Of dairy COWS
compulsory and the creation of such a
law would be so thoroughly backed by
public opinion that the question of It's
expense would be given scanty consid
Grafton so long as the results aimed
at were attained. And even before
the statutes could be changed o e:
the case an aroused sentiment would
have made it impossible for the own
ers Of diaries to go on doing business
with cattle that were suspected of be
ing diseased. Having received their
"shock" and been properly electrified
the people would enact and enforce
their own law. The latter solution
Of the problem, as the Messenger sug
gests. would be far more preferable
than one arrived at through legislat
ion, provided, however It could b.
obtained without the suffering thai
would necessarily be incurred by snci
a public awakening.

FRANK B. HOWE, EditOr and Publisher

In giving Senator Ernest w. Gibson
the alternative of being guaranteed
at Montpelier or going back to Brat
tleboro the health officer at the state
capital took a step that will commend
itself generally. If the newspaper re-
ports sent out from Brattleboro are
correct there is good reason to believe
that the small pox situation in thai
village is not only not improving but
is not being given the serious consid-
GRAFTON from the inhabitants that the
conditions demand. The statement
by Health officer Tucker, published
in a newspaper dispatch yesterday,
that there were probably so cases of
the disease in the village Of which
the authorities had no knowledge is
certainly not encouraging.

II people could only understand that
Catarrh is an internal scrofula-that
nothing applied externally does much
good-they would not need TO be
warned so often about this fatal dis.
ease, which when neglected, invar.
iably ends up In Consumption, at the
cost OF millions OF lives every year
Yet Catarrh is easily cured II the right
treatment Is employed.
Catarrh is caused by germs In the
blood which circulate throughout the
entire system. External remedies
give but temporary ease Although
the effects are often seen In the form
OF pimples, rash, eczema or dry scaly
skin, the trouble Is internal, and can
never be cured by external remedies
The only way to cure catarrh Is by
employing medicine which is alb
sorbed and carried by the blood to all
parts OF the system, so that the mu-
cous membrane or internal lining OF
the body is thoroughly indicated,
and the soreness healed.

We would also ask those who are

we haven't and We will now see how

will try to keep the legislature from
being too extravagant but they say
the State is prosperous and the State

Gov. Ansel suggested ii special
message that the legislature should
be careful and conservative in regard
to railroad legislation. I think mis-
suggestion is along the right line.
The truth Of the matter is as to pas
seneer rates the people who do tle
most Of the travelling would much

better equipment, better service AMI
more secure road beds than to cut the

SALT LAKE CITY TO
BUILD CIRCULAR TRACK
One Hundred and Fifty Mile Motor
drome viii Be Erected by
the Mormon City
Autosts

Work has already begun on big
circular mile and a half automoplle
track at Salt Lake City and its pro-
moters confidently expect that the new
track will safely hold a motor car at
the highest rate of speed that can be
maintained The new track will be
located on the wide sandy shore south
east of the Saltair beach. and will be
constructed of gravel and oiled shale.
The whole state of Utah is enthusiastic
over the project and the engineers are
LAYING the lines for the track so that
it will hold a car safely going at a
speed of 150 miles an hour thus build
ing for ten years ahead. The track
will be sixty feet wide on the turns
and seVenty-fiVe feet on the straight
aways. Already contracts for the eX-
cavation of the gravel and the bull Ing
of the grandstands and fences have
been let.
The present plans are to scoop the
sand beach out to a depth of several
feet over the whole width Of the track
and fill in with the heavy gravel. On
Top of this VIII be placed fine skGle.
over this fine shale will be put a coat
ing of oil to prevent the rise of dust,
so serious on many tracks.
The straight of ways will be level
clear across and the curves viii be
banked gradually. The track will be sc
constructed that the cars can be seen
at all times during the race. At in
tervals OF 100 feet around the track
huge reflector electric arc lights will
be placed, making night racing pos

JAPANESE AS A NATION
: ARE GROWING TALLER
TWO INCHES IN STATURE GAINED
IN FIFTEEN YEARS
Nipponese Newspaper Men Studying
American Methods Say Their
countrymen Sat Down Too
Much to Grow

NEW YORK, Jpril 25.-By new
system of physical culture Japan has
increased the stature of her men and
women two inches in the last few
years. News of this was learned here
from three Japanese newspaper men,
two of whom are visiting the principal
large cities of the world, studying the
methods of advanced journalism and
the modern mechanical devices for
printing newspapers. The men are
Asthma, general manager of the Osaka
Mai Nichi, which means the Daily
News of Osaka, Japan; N. Okumoura,
editor of the same paper, and Jiro
Abratani, it's New York correspondent.
In speaking of the physical growth OF
the Japanese in the last few years Mr..
Asthma said:
1.-THE attention of the government was
called about fifteen years ago to the
fact that the japanese as a race were
not so tall as they might be, so the
government decided to add few inches
to the stature of her sons and daugh-
ters. The government instructed the
heads of the schools to see to 1t that
the students stood up as much as pos
sible, as the discovery had been made
that one cause of the short stature of
the average japanese was too much
sitting down. 1t also built gymnasi-
ums and ordered a regular course of
physical culture in the schools. The
same was done in the army.
"The result was SLOW but is now be-
ginning to be felt, and it is now esti-
mated that two inches have been added
to the height of many Japanese men
and women, and another two inches
may be added in another generation or

How Our Army Is Formed

The average citizen, it is safe to say,
has very hazy idea concerning the
size and constitution OF the United
States army. In the current Harper's
Weekly the reader will find some inter-
esting facts bearing upon this matter.
The government dreams of an army
numbering 10000 men. The present
strength is $1,000. OF the theoretical
10000 soldiers the fifteen regiments of
cavalry, which never lack their full
complement, comprises nearly $4,000 Of
fcers and men, the six regiments of
field artillery, $500; the coast artillery
corps, close upon 100000; the thirty
regiments of infantry. 27,000 the en-
gineers, 2000 and the remainder consist
of the staff corps, Indian scouts and a
small number of native soldiers in
Porto Rico and the Philippines. The
total number of commissioned officers
amounts to about 5000.

Lindon Whitaker, 11-year-old son

before the return Of the engine sent
to bring his body.
The Whitaker family were return
ing from the Lagoon on the 9 O'Clock
train. AS the train passed the Hot
Springs, Lindon, who was sitting on
the outside, fell from the train. which
was travelling at least 80 miles an
hour. The boys father made a des-
perate effort to stop the train, but he
could not attract the attention of the
engineer or conductor until the train
had almost reached the city
After falling from the train, the
lad picked himself up none the worse
for the fall, and walked to North Salt
Lake and boarded a city car.
