TUBERCULOSIS IN STOCK.
Most important Factor in Spread Of
Disease Is IN the Manure.

The bureau Of animal industry has
made number of tests showing that
the most important factor in the
spread of cattle tuberculosis is the
manure. II has been generally sup
posed that milk was not as likely to be
affected unless the cows udder was
tuberculous.
The bureau has found. however.
that the manure from diseased COWS
is usually heavily laden with tuber-
culous bacteria and as these are cas-
ily and almost surely introduced into
the milk. under ordinary methods OF
milking. a Jingle tubercular COW may
affect the milk Of an entire stable.
Hogs. according to the bureau. also
easily acquire tuberculosis from fol-
lowing cows I'm the pasture or from
feeding from skim milk or separator
milk from tuberculous cattle The
great increase i'm tuberculosis among
hogs is stated by the bureau Of ami
nal industry 90 be almost entirely
traceable TO their association with af-
fected cattle. and the bureau strongly
recommends the sterilization OF all
creameries before it is fed 10 calves
or pigs.
tuberculosis among animals is not
necessarily acquired through the
mouth or nose as has been generally
supposed For instance tuberculosis
OF the lungs was produced in hogs by
inoculaung them in the tips OF their
tails
There has been considerable dispute
as TO whether human and bovine tu-
herculosis are practically one and the
same. the famous Koch theory rails
ing a storm OF Jissension-at least
as to whether human tuberculosis or
consumption can result from the con-
sumption of tuberculous milk. etc

what THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy

All the blood in, the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
Of impure matter daily, when ,up-
healthy some part of this impure mat,
ter Is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
pain in the back, headache, nervous.
ness, hot dry skin, rheumatism, govt,
gravel, disorders of the eyesight and
hearing, dizziness, irregular heart
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys. &s15.s:

HOPES TO SECUR EFAVORABf.F
ACTION ON HIS BILL IN
NEXT SESSION.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 20. Sen
ator J. p. McCumber, of North Da-
kota, author of the. bill providing
for federal grain inspection, is work
ing up sentiment for his measure all
over the world, II .s \.
For the past few weeks United
States consular reports have been
mailed with columns of reports from
our representatives abroad ON the
loss OF American shipments Of
breadstuffs and giving the reason for
1t. s,$
! A report Just filed by Consul Rob.
ert p. Skinner, Of Marseilles, France,
sets forth that an association has
been formed in France composed of
hundreds OF the most substantial
business men, complaining of the
carelessness with which grain insnec-
tion certificates are delivered at var
ious American ports.
The Montreal certificates complain
ed Of usually cover grain In tran
sit from Northwestern states. 20
Attention is called to the ease with
which certificates are delivered both
at New York and Montreal, and tie
inaccuracies which result from the
method Of procedure In vogue. 1t is
suggested that IL no remedy can be
found. the French Interests might be
compelled to exclude from contracts
| arrivals from the ports complained
of. as have ben excluded already
shipments from the Gulf Of Mexico
for similar reasons.
| Thus far the American boards Of
| trade and chambers OF commerce
though informed OF these complaints
have failed to provide an effective
remedy by means of a mutual under
standing and the organization Of q
mprehensive inspection service un
der their own control. a.
1 It is obvious that in SO important
an inspection of grain for export
differences OF grain standards as be
tween ministration methods can WORK
i great mischief, and tend to breai
down the present system of selling
American cereals on the basis O
certificates rather than of samples.
If private trde organizations nov
issuing these certificates will no

alternative is for the government t.

COFFIN NAILS
Under The Ban
TI-clGARETTE LAW IN WASH
iNGToN DECLARED TO BE
CONSTITUTIONAL.
ONE OF STRoNGEST3LAWS IN THE
COUNTRY y REPEALED BY
\ .5si THE COURTS.

Spokane, Wash, Sept. 20 Judges
of the supreme court of the state
of Washington have decided that the
cigarette must go, having agreed that
the .anti-cigarette law, enacted by the
Legislature of 1907 is constitutional
This reversed a decision; by Judge
E. Fl. Sullivan of the Spokane county
superior court, who declared it I'M
constitutional, from the fact that the
title of the law is in conflict with
its provisions. The decision Of the
upper court means that it is unlaw-
full to manufacture, sell or give away
the paper rolls or ''the makings" In
any part of the commonwealth.
The coffin nails are sold openly in
Spokane pending the decision Of the
supreme court and the effect Of the
law will be to send thousands Of dol
lars to border towns In Idaho an
Oregon, and other states where cigar
tettes are: not under the ban. The
fight against the law was started last
year by H. s. Winsor, former local
|srestauranteur.~ 1T was intimated at
the time that the tobacco trust was
|backSof the litigation to upset the
law or gain time to dispose of the big
stocks then on hand. However, It is
made clear that every, dealer who
handled cigarettes or papers in the
meantime is liable although it is
not believed prosecutions will be push.
