The Divine Law of Rewards.

There is a Divine law Of rewards. When
the Creator gave US the earth, with its
fruitful soil, the sunshine with its
warmth. and the rains with their mois-
ture. he proclaimed, as clearly as if his
voice had Numbered from the clouds. Go
work. and according to your industry
and your intelligence. so shall be your
reward" Only where might has over
thrown. cunning undermined or govern
ment suspended this law, has different
law prevailed. To conform the govern
ment to this law ought to be the ambi-
ton of the statesman. and no party can
have a higher mission than to make 1t a
reality wherever governments can legiti-
mately operate.

Senator Owen of Oklahoma is stanch
friend of the suffrage movement, and adj
vocated the question before the constitu
tional convention in Oklahoma a few
years ago.
In 1856 the House committee of which
w. P. Hepburn of Iowa was member.
in its report advocated suffrage. Repre-
sentative Hepburn said yesterday: Il have
not changed my opinion on the subject

An extract from this report says:
Give woman the ballot and she will
have additional means and inducements
for a broader and better education, includ
ing knowledge of public affairs. which
she will not fail to avail herself of to the
uttermost; give her the ballot and you
add to her means of protection to her
person and estate.
Man has not been consciously unjust
to woman in the past, nor is he now; but
he believes that she is in her true sphere,
not realizing that he has fixed her sphere,
and not God. as he imagnes. This is as
true of the barba rian as of the Christian.

not the slightest suspicion of a cough or
any symptoms of disease. The frank
statement of DR.. Schroeder. that these
cows were all the Victims of well es-
tablished case of tuberculosis. and that
seven of the number were actively ex-
polling tubercele bacilli at the rate of
from 3OOOO.00O to 40.G00.OO0 day, was,
indeed. the cause of CONSERVATION.
Cow No. 500 of the station is of unusu-
al interest to the inhabitants of Wash
ington This COW was found in a herd
supplying milk to the city and after
reacting to the tuberculin test was re-
moved to the station. Microscopic ex-
animation revealed the presence of tu-
bercele bacilii in her milk. Ordinary salt
ed butter was made from the milk and
in this the infection persisted with un-
diminished yirulence fer forty mine days.
Small portions of this butter were inject
ed into guinea pigs, which died affected
with typical generalized tuberculosis with
in sixty days.
The lungs, liver and spleen of these
guinea pigs were preserved by new

that not only the tissue itself is in an
excellent state of preservation, but the
affections of the organs are plainly dis
tinguishable.

ravages of the deadly disease are in full
view and everywhere the terrible white
plague" has left fatal marks.
In addition to this four calves born OF
healthy cows were fed the milk of cow
No 500. One calf YVES fed one day. one
three days, one seven days and one thirty
days. The calves fed respectively one,
three and seven days sucked the milk di-
rectly from the cows udder, but only
came in Contact with the injected cow at
the time of feeding. The calf that was
fed thirty days received the milk in a
pail and was not near tuberculosis in
lection other than that contained in the
milk. All four calves contracted tuber-
culOSis
Brought face to face with such revela-
tons as this. the question naturally arises
as to the percentage of cows in dairy
herds that are dangerously tuberculous
In answer to this DR.. Schroeder is directly
quoted:
1.-The prevalence of tuberculosis among
dairy cows has been estimated at all the
way from 10 per cent to 80 per cent. The
one figure is certainly too low and the
other too high. There are many herds
that have never been tuberculous, some
that have been cleaned of tuberculosis and
others in which every COW is affected. The
best evidence we have of the common

losis and are not conscious that they are
affected during their lives This is GER
tainly to be expected when it is thus
conclusively shown that tubercle bacili
ARE concealed in butter. milk. cream and
other dairy products, which are regularly
distributed to the unsuspecting public
whenever the sale of milk from tubercu-
lous cows is permitted. 1t is the firm
conviction of the experiment station that
dairy herds can be cleaned of tubercu-
lous cows by the proper application OF the
tuberculin test and the immediate segTe
cation of all reacting animals. At present
experiments are about to be entered into
with the hope of rendering animals I'M
mune from the ravagcs of the disease.
In defense of the dai:ymen DR.. Schroe-
der is again directly quoted: The dairy
man is not alone to blame for impure
milk. AS rule he attempts to supply a
pure milk to his customers. and Is not
conscious of the impurities and infections
in the article he is distributing. The

presence of tuberculosis among dairy
cows is the claim made by some dairy
men that milk famine would result
from the condemnation of all tuberculous
cows for dairy purposes. The dairymen
who make this claim evidently know what
they are talking about, and though we
may assume that they make it rather
with the intention to oppose a general
application OF the tuberculin test to dairy
herds than to call attention to an extreme
ly dangerous and Objectionable condition,
the claim is. in truth, strong argument
to show how urgently action is needed to
clean dairy herds of diseased animals.
With these facts comprehended what
wonder is there that the white plague is
tearing the vitals of the American COM
monweath, and claiming 100000 victims
each year. In the District of Columbia
twelve deaths out OF every hundred are
said to be caused by consumption.
