tial elements of the Bang system Danish) in han
ding tuberculosis cases are: Strict isolation;
food and stables free from Infection; sunlight
and ventilation in stables; destruction of only
few of the worst cases. This plan of segregation,
etc., has been tried at the Michigan Experiment
Station with excellent results.
In commenting on the recent tuberculosis Ex-
hibition in New York City, the Rural New Yorker
says: '"That there is evidence worthy of the
name that humans can be infected by bovine or
COW tuberculosis by the ordinary use of milk or
flesh from tuberculous cattle is shown by the
undenable' fact that consumption is as
in Oriental countries where dairy products and
the flesh of horned cattle practically never
used. That while no race, country or cline is ex-
empt, it is most destructive in crowded and gen.
orally unsanitary conditions, among tropical
out of their natural habitat, and among ill-fed
and Incorporate workers the world over. That
the bacilli cannot long endure sunlight very Sc
we're drying, temperatures above 100 degrees.
That clean air. clean surroundings, and clean and
abundant food are not only the best preventives,
but the best cures for consumption" recent
report by the local government board of London
shows that deaths from tuberculosis in England
and Scotland have decreased by one-third in the
last so years, and this is attributed to effective
segregation and institutional treatment of adj
vanced cases of the disease.
The meat of cattle affected with tuberculosis
is not dangerous to health, as the degree of heat
required for cooking kills all tuberculosis germs
so the Federal inspection laws pass the meat in
spected and permit its use unless the inspection
shows tuberculosis to be generalized in the car
cass which occurs only in minority of cases.
condemnng parts only of those affected locally
For animals condemned to slaughter compensa
ton laws haves been passed in different states
This is just and in strict conformity with the con-
stitutional requirement that shall be de-
prived of his property for the public good without
compensation.
In Vermont the reimbursement to owners is rs
per cent of the appraised value, and it required
5000 900 to pay for cattle slaughtered in that state
last year. In New York the state pays 80 per
cent of appraisal for animals having tuberculosis
in localized FORM and so per cent when in the gen.
eralized form. In Wisconsin the owner can dis
pose of the carcasses for beef if they pass in
spection or if slaughtered by state authority he
receives twothirds their appraised value
Washington needs sane, remedial tuberculosis
legislation that will be alike beneficial to con-
sumner and producer to community and individual
1t should be helpful and preventive rather than
destructive and confscatory. To all the latter
class of legislation The Ranch is opposed. 1t is
agtated and advocated only by those who have no
financial interests at stake, but hope to profit
by it's application and it is proverbial that "doc
tors do not take the medicines they prescribe for
Others"

Arise! Today is here; it is thine own,
From thy Creators hand a gift divine
To do with thou wilt to make mar,
To fashion as thy heart shall dictate thee
OF thy best self give to 1t with full hand,
AS woudst to thy child in need of love-
In need of all thy tender and thought,
Bestowed with whispered prayer, to give Alright.
Into this day put noble thought and deed
Into this day put heed for others joy.
Weave memories to gladden. all thy years
Weave memories to live when thou art gone,
Each hour in passing not come again,
Each little moment goes beyond recall,
So forge the golden links of golden deeds,
So make thy life chain of golden days.

Every business carried on in
town ought to be represented
in the local newspaper. 1t goes
to so many persons who desire to
know something of the place.
The home paper is one of the
most forceful advertisements of
the enterprise of the place and to
strangers it illustrates the spirit
and energy of the people. 1t is
always well to bear in mind that
seekers for home and business
locations never pick out dead
towns. A small town where
people are enterprising often
holds forth to the progressive

About year ago you took
occasion to say in the News that
"Kenney voted against bridge

/ did not pay any attention to

the matter seems to be on your
mind and you would yet want
others to think l was opposed to
the bridge levy though YOU
don't believe it yourself.
My policy has always been to
make a bad bill as good as |
could 20 that if it be-
came law we would get some
things we wanted. If the levy
bill had been defeated there
would have been no 80 cent limit
and we could have laid as much
levy as we wished. If you will
examine the levy bill as intro
duced, you will find no para
graph as to bridge levy, but in
Committee wrote the. amend
ment providing for 20 cents levy
for bridge, had it added to the
bill, made fight for it in the
house, and finally compromised
on 10 cents levy. / don't know
any County but Calhoun that
wanted it, the original bill did
not contain it, after hard fight
we put it in the bill, and then
every democrat in the House and
Senate both voted against the
whole bill. but we voted FOR
t h G BRIDGE AMENDMENT.
The levy bill was a party meas
ure, the republicans all voting
for the 80 cent limit, the demo-
Gratis all voting against it, believ-
ing that the Legislature had no
right to make anv limit other
than that provided in the Con-
stltution. take it that all will
concede that it required some
skill to get part of a law to suit
you when you are opposed to the
whole law.
Mr.. Cornell did we'll in getting
the levy increased to 20 cents
l rendered what assistance I
could, but ! am still opposed to
the law limiting County levies to
30 cents, as in some counties this
is not enough. / believe. in mat
ters of this kind, in local self
government.
However we could not have
gotten bridge levy without the
help Of republican friends and
