THE DISEASE IN CATTLE

Opinion Scores Strong Point--cOn-

Dangerous to Infants.
THE DISEASE IN CATTLE

Washington, Jan. 2e.--Partly through
accident, a discovery has been made by
the government experiment station al
bethesda, Md, revealing the close re-
lation which exists between bovine and
human tuberculosis. The experiments
conducted there were not primarily
with a view TO determining the value
of the Koch theory that consumption
cannot be transmitted from the ami.
nal to man, but the accidental reveal
ton made emphasize the correctness
OF weighty American medical opinion
that bovine tuberculosis contains a
menace to the human race. Several
children Of the employees Of the ex-
pertinent station died and under such
circumstances that autopsies were
deemed advisable. These developed
that the cause Of death was tuberculi.
sis OF the glands Of the neck and the
intestines. The children had been fed
on the milk OF cows kept upon the gov
ernment form. The cows were killed,
and the autopsies upon their carcasses
and the bodies Of the children revealed
absolutely that identity of the disease
from which each suffered. The differ
ence will be noted, however, between
bovine and human tuberculosis; that
the former does not attack the lungs,
but is lodged in tho neck glands and
the intestines. In the case Of infants
the disease contracted from impure
milk is found to be especially danger
Gus. A subcommittee OF the commit
tee on agriculture made the discoveries
herein described, and it is understood
that as result the efforts to stamp
out tuberculosis in cattle win be re-
doubled.

careful consideration, settled the type
Of canal that should be built. The cri-
ticism which was made at the time OF
this settlement, and which was made
IN furtherance of the sea level plan, had
since been repealed.
"The type OF canal" he continued,
"is therefore, open to discussion only
TO the extent that II II shall be shown
that the present lock type is failure,
we shall change to something else
There is neither opportunity nor right
TO open that question again unless
something has developed justifying
that action. But in carrying out this
great work II is proper that we should
90 there with competent engineers 70
sec that the conditions are the same,
and Justify the same conclusion that
was reached when the question was
last settled, and that Is what we are
going there for now"
The natural belief in the sea-leyel
canal, which Mr.. Taft said that per-
haps the whole country entertained,
was belief which comes through lack
OF understanding the exact situation.
He was such believer until he had VS.
tied the isthmus.
Answering the criticism that he
might be going down thera with his
mind made up in advance, he said the
situation was analogous to Judge who
had decided case regarding which sub
sequent evidence had been discovered.
He was going there TO ascertain II sub.
sequent evidence really existed, as had
been stated in some Of the press OF
the country, which would justify a
change Of the plan. He was frank to
hint that he did not believe such evil
dence existed.
The great benefits Of the canal were
reviewed by Mr.. Taft, which, besides
stimulating trade with South America,
would double the effectiveness Of our
navy.

The address delivered az Buffalo by

serves wider attention than ii has so far
received. The occasion was a celebra-
tion OF the birthday Of Grover Cleveland
which furnished a satisfactory setting for
some sound Democratic oratory. The

Cabinet Of the only Democrats President
since the war made William J. Bryan the
subject Of HIS remarks.
Mr.. Bryan. he said. must surrender his
position as national leader Of the party

them ''to a frazzle," we might say.
The big circuses all are getting ready

do that until spring has absolutely ar

quarters earlier. To do so would cost
them thousands and thousands Of dol

that would come 10 them through the
colds. coughs. and various ailments an
unreasonable beginning would distribute

teams are getting things rapidly into
form FOR inaugurating the season OF the

perI1ing up wonderfully; there. IS some
thing doing in that line. Moreover. the
family gardens are being laid out and
planted. Who ever heard OF that being
done before the unmistakabIe advent OF
spring?
We do not advise the precipitate she'd

ciaIly those fannels. There will be plenty
OF boisterous and unruly weather for a
while, we suspect Spring always takes
time 20 get right down 10 steady work
