too sacred to be looked upon. Only
barbarians beat their breasts and cry
their sorrow in the market place. But
men of finer mould rear, in honor of

turn to the serious things of life

the deeper, basic, elemental problems
of life, to give new heed to those

DR. LENTON
 ADDRESSES DAIRYMEN
Good Crowd Present And Much h. terest Shown Tuberculosis
 the Theme.

Dr " Lenton, State Veter- marian, accompanied by Dr R E Grimes, of the Bureau of An imal Industry, was in the city Saturday and delivered an ad- dress on tuberculosis before a meeting of dairym men Those in attendance were very enthusias- tic and more than ordinary inter- est was shown
 pr Lenton is a logical and forceful speaker and thoroughly understands h tuberculosis situation which has been of much interest to dairymen of late
 Among other things Dr Len ton stated that he had received a letter from here asking for help in the tuberculosis decree passed by the Memphis Board of Health and at first did not see his way clear on account of lack of funds, and asked the government for aid, and also wrote to the Mem phis Board Of Health to suspend it's action until something could be done here
 
 Dr Lenton said that he hoped to have two experienced men here all the time after Septem- ber 1St
 There will be needed in addi- ton. six men in the neighbor- hood to take temperatures By this means he hopes to make the cost of inspection for tuberculo- sis not more than ten cents per COW
 Tuberculosis germs, he said, are very small minute plants and like all minute plants, they must have some soil to grow in One of the best mediums for them is the human blood where they grow rapidly, one germ having twelve million descendants in 24 hours He declared that milk is as good a soil for these germs to grow in as we can possibly find, and that there is no doubt of the fact that these germs could be conveyed to man through milk
 pr Lenton clearly explained the necessity of the tuberculosis test for the dairy COWS and it is thought that every dairyman will give his hearty cooperation in the matter
 The address was concluded by pr L2nton assuring the dairy men that inasmuch as the cattle of this vicinity receive plenty of fresh air, he hoped to find but few if any cattle infected with tuberculosis

C. BRAITHWAITE
 DIES AT JOPLIN. Former Citizen of Carlisle Dead at Ripe Old Age-Was Well
 Known Here.

From a complication of mala- dies, coupled with old age, George Braithwa!te, 77 years old, a former citizen of this place, died at II 20 o'clock Wednesday morning of last week at the home of his son, Arthur Braithwaite. 2119 Wall street, Joplin, Mo-, after an illness of several weeks duration.
 Mr. BraithWaite was born in CAtheroe, near Manchester, En- gland, in 1882, and left there in 1871. going to Canada. Six years later he removed to this State, locating on a farm near Carlisle. where he resided until moving to Joplin, some ten years ago.
 While in England Mr. Braith. waite was engaged in the cotton business, being at the head of a large cotton goods factory near Manchester. After leaving Ar kansas he engaged for a short time in mining at Joplin. He was not contented with city life, how ever, and returned to his farm near Quaker Valley.
 Three sons, Arthur and John, of Joplin, and Charles Braith- waite, of Galveston, Tex, sur vive him. Mrs. Braithwaite died April 8, 1902.
 Mr. Braithwaite will be pleas antly remembered by a number of our older citizens, who will learn of his death with regret. His remains were inferred in Fairview cemetery at Joplin.
