Council Gives Health Officer Right

SAYS PRESENT METHOD IS A FARCE
Or. PretIow Declares That Public Is

Charging that the present system
OF inspecting the cows in local dalries
is farce and that the people OF THIS
city are not protected against the
purchasing CT milk from diseased
cows. DIR. Thomas J. Pretlow. the new
city health Office last night sncceeded
In inducing the common council 10
ADOPT an amendment TO the present
milk ordinance providing for a more
rigid In t)eetion of the COWS.
When the amendment was called up
Just few minutes before / O'Clock,
Mr. Fellows said that the council did
not have time TO discuss the amend
ment and he moved that ii be laid
on the table. Mr.. w. A. Spruill sec
onded the motion and for few sec
onds it locked as II toe motion would
go through However. DR.. Pretiow
was given the privilege of the floor
and he earnestly urged upon the men,
bers the necessity for the immediate
passage of the amendment.
At the outset, Dr. Pretlow told the
council that the dairymen are now
having their cows inspected as re-
quired by the city ordinance and that
II the council put the matter off until
next meeting the inspection would be
completed and the amendment would
not become effective until the time
for the next annual inspection in the
fall of 1910. He pointed out that the
amendment requires that the dairy
men shall have their cattle inspected
by competent and reliable veterinary
surgeons. whereas, now the dairymen
can call upon any veterinarian to ex-
anime and pass upon the cows.
DR. Pretlow also called the atten-
ton of the council to that section OF
the amendment which gives the health
officer the right when, in his 5udg-
ment. the cattle are not properly ex-
amined. to employ a veterinary sur
geon TO make another examination OF
the cattle at the city's expense.
After Dr. Pretlow had concluded,
the council began a general discus
sion of the matter and Mr.. Christie
moved that the amendment be so
amended as 10 require the veterinar-
ians to furnish the health officer with
complete and full description of the
cattle that are condemned during the
annual fall inspection.
President Jones said that the dairy
men OF the city are opposed to any
more milk legislation and for that rea-
son he thought the amendment should
be passed. He also said that dairy
man had told him that he (the dairy
mani was glad that one of the local
veterinary surgeons is going 10 leave
the city as he was toe severe in his
test CT the cattle and condemned too
many OF them
Following some further discussion
OF the matter. Mr.. Fellows withdrew
his original motion to lay the amend
ment on the table and moved that
the measure be adopted. which motion
prevailed without division.

INTERCESSORY PRAYER.

QUALIFICATIONS OF A CHRIS
THAN CITIZEN.
The highest ideal of man is not the
one who says his prayers regularly. it
IS the one who not only prays, but
gives his time and his money to fer
ret out election frauds, to purify the
ballot and the one who is found at
the polls on election day voting for
the things which Christian citizenship
demands. To be Christian citizen a
man must be interested in the welfare
of his country as we'll as his church.

lect of your Christian duty.-Rev. e.

VALUE OF TEMPTATIONS.
What temptations are to a man de-
ponds upon what he is inwardly. even
as what the winds are to the tree
branches In the forest depends upon
what the boughs are inwardly. Some
are inwardly decayed. The winds
break them off. They fall to the
ground. Others are inwardly sound.
They swing and bend in the winds
and are made stronger in their every
fiber by the fact that the winds blow
upon them. The man who prays is
sound inwardly. His heart is right.
He resists temptations as the sound
branches the winds. He compels his
temptations to strengthen the fibers of
his moral being, to add to the beauty.

"overwork kills thousands every

A few weeks ago the newspapers
made much of a dispatch from Wash
1ngton reporting a heavy decrease in
government revenues, owing to the
diminished consumption of strong
drink. The impression was conveyed
perhaps unintentionally-b the article
that a serious i'll had befallen the ma
ton. Yet anybody with the power to
look even an inch behind the surface
of things read the news with jubila-
ton. For it meant, not that the coun-
try is poorer. but richer. The money
represented by the figures has not
gone out of the country. That partfc-
ular sum was only fraction of the
amount of money that had been divert
ed from the pockets of the saloon
keeper and the brewer into the tills
of the grocer, the baker, the butcher,
the dressmaker. the clothier and the
banker. 1t meant that money once
wasted is now being spent for necessi-
ties; or else carefully saved. OF the
gain to soberer manhood, nothing need
be said, except that the closing of the
saloons has set many loafers and
drinkers to honest labor.

But with a smile and words of hope,

Who, by a life heroic, conquers
The Heart Undeterred.
Spurgeon called the apostle of the
Gentiles Paul the Ready" He was
ready to die, he was ready to live.
Whatever would serve the honor of his
Lord was the thing he supremely de-
sired to do. So undeterred by the i'm
mistaken by stirring scenes of af-
lection, he, like his Master, steadfastly
set his face to go up to Jerusalem The
spectacle somehow reminds one of the
entry in the log of Columbus when his
sailors were in almost open mutiny and
the prospect of land seemed as remote
as ever. He wrote, This day we sailed
on" Day after day that stout-hearted
entry was made, "This day we sailed
on" There are times in everybo dy's
life when, like Columbus and like
Paul, he is simply to go ahead.
We wonder what are the medita-
lions of a man in full possession of his
faculties who knows that he is shortly
to die. A weak soul raves, and rants,
and refuses to face the inevitable.
Brave hearts, like Paul, simply move
steadfastly forward on the path or
duty. They have a new passion for the
work that is yet to be done, and new
tenderness for the people whom they
have loved on earth. 1t is profound
truth, although but side light On TINS
lesson, that the greater a mans mis-
sion in life, the heavier his burdens
the more precious to him are the eV-
