by the inland revenue department Of the
Dominion that adulterated food manufac-
turers are making the country a dumping

states by the pure food law. IN addition
TO the national enactment many States
nave legislated against adulterated food
products. Every step taken here in this
direction aggravates the situation across
the border, FOR the manufacturer sets at

Quickly Find Market for Their
TubercuIar Cows.

fering from tuberculosis coming into

the Illinois board of live stock. COM
missfoners announced that it had been
compelled virtually to suspend the
testing of dairy herds and glandered
horses because the slaughter fund"
of $4,000 appropriated by the state
has been exhausted.
Just at this time the educated
farmer in neighboring states, is a par
ticular thorn in the flesh of the
Illinois officials.a1cFThese farmers are
taught by experts to make tuber-
cuIosis tests for themselves. After the
farmer has satisfied Himself that a
COW is tubercu1ar It is ninety days be-
fore the disease shows itself. This
gives him an opportunity to dispose
of the animal to a broker, who takes
it over the line to Illinois, where 1T is
sold as sound at a handsome profit.

ANOTHER TOWN ROW.
Cottonwood Falls s.Fire Laddies" Re
sign in Disgust.

Cottonwood Falls, Feb. ia rather
serious estrangement has come up be-
tween the mayor and city council and
the fire department of Cottonwood
Falls. The town has completed a
splendid system of waterworks which it
thinks is as fine as any in the state.
According to the fire ladies the
mayor has taken the entire credit of
this good deed unto himself and has
been making such arbitrary rulings that
they have become disguised. Anyway
they resigned in a body recently and
the town is without an organized fire
department. The business men and
citizens generally are worried over the
situation. while the fire insurance COM
panies are beginning to ask questions
and raise rates.
The little town has always prided
itself on its faithful and efficient fire
department and will no. doubt take
prompt steps to correct the situation.

TUBERCULOSIS BILL.
House Devotes Attention to Eradica-

The house spent most of the morn

suppression and eradication of the dis

this state, and after certain number
of amendments had been submitted and
few of them passed, recommended the
bill Tor passage in practically it's origi-

measure, for as one member put it this
morning, it is recognized by competent
medical authority that this dread dis
ease was first transmitted to humanity
from cattle The bill provides effec-
lively for the stamping out of this dis
ease among the cattle, the only ques-
ton at issue today being the fairness
and practicability of the means used.

the house so far this session.

Only minor bills considered. as many
members were absent in attendance
at committee meetings. The house will
go to Lawrence tomorrow to visit the
state university in response to the in
vitation from the students and fac
ulty. The special train over the Union
Pacific will leave here at $3.50 a. m. and
returning leave Lawrence at O'Clock

row. Exercises will be held in the

which J. w. Gleed of Topeka will de-
liver the princiDai address.
