MEASLES MAY LEAD
TO TUBERCULOSIS
HEALTH OFFICER OF OHIO CITY
SOUNDS 4 NOTE or

ALSO SHOWS TERRIBLY con-
TAeIous CHARACTER OF
CONSUMPTION.

Cincinnati, June 12.-That measles
is often the forerunner of tubercuIo
sis is the declaration of the local
health officer. DR. Lands, in his
weekly report. DR.. Landis sounds a
note of warning to physicians as well
as the public generally in the hand

part:
The profession knows the fire.
quency with which measles is followed
by consumption, but of the hundreds
who have had this disease during the
past winter a number are almost
sure to develop tuberculosis of the
respiratory tract The frequency
with which this disease follows upon
the heels of measles cannot be ex-
plained upon the theory of coinci.
dence. In some cases it doubtless
prepares the soil for the bacillus; in
others it puts new life into a latent
focus.
Last week As cases of consump.
ton We're reported, with 10 deaths.
If this good work on the part of the
doctors is kept up throughout the
year it will give the de!s-tment sur.
Vigilance over some 1000 cases. A
case was reported during the past
week which illustrates the grave re.
sponsibility resting with the profes.
sion. Several months after 'mov.
ing, a man. who had always been in
good health, came down with con.
sumption. Investigation on the part
of the family physician revealed the
fact that the previous tenant had con
sumption. To those who do not be-
lieve in germs this means nothing or
is at most trifiing coincidence.
Another physician tells of four
private secretaries who contracted
consumption one after the other and
died. They worked for the same EN-
ployer, who had a chronic cough and
expectorated promiscuously about
him on the floor Another instance
is furnished by the death of four
young railroad clerks within period
of three years of this disease. They
were employed in the same office in
which worked an elderly clerk with a
chronic cough and who was careless
of mis- sputum."

a Sleeps Remarkable sagaeIty.

weil-known Australian naturalist
writes in the Wide World Magazine
Whilst in a Victorian township re
Gently. l had the privilege of photo
graphing a sheep which had achieved
quite reputation, and which. under
similar conditions, would in primitive
ages probably have been held sacred.
The sheep is usually supposed to be
the most stupid of animals, but these
are the facts of this particular case.
A beautiful child, foar or FIVE years
old, was stricken down by serious
illness. Upon missing the child, its
fnseparable companion, the sheep at
once commenced a systematic investi-
cation of yards, barns, and roads.
Meeting with no success, the anxious
animal ultimately entered the house.
bleating inquiringly, pushed open the
door of the once merry little iaa's
bedroom, and approached the bed,
where it showed obvious signs of de-
light that its perseverance was at last
rewarded After that the faithful
creature watched regularly at the
front door. bleating eagerly for en-,
trance. Sad to relate, the little lad
died. The sheep seemed to know that
something unusual had occurred, and,
when 81 length the coffin was placed
in the hearse, followed behind IL
among crowd of mourners, and re-
fused to be turned away from the
cemetery gates. When the coffin was
lowered in the grave the animal
stood disconsolately beside it, feebly
bleating. The grief-stricken mother
assured me that she believed no
mourner, comparatively speaking,
grieyed more deeply for the child than
his pet sheep.

JAPAN TURNS TO BEEF.
New Policy Adopted in Belief It viii
Increase Peoples Stature.

thSt SaSS FGOPlCS StdtuTC.
1t is rather startling after all that
has been said and written regarding
the rice and fish diet of the Japanese
to learn that their government has
established large farms with view
to obtaining sufficient cattle for
slaughter. so that each day some flesh
food may be distributed to their SOL
diers, says the Salt Lake Tribune. It
has been heraled far and wide that
the many reasons for the wonderful
victories of the Japanese armies dur
ing the late war with Russia lay in the
great stamina and endurance of the
little yellow warriors, who heretofore
had lived exclusively on fish and rice.
So this new policy of the Mikado's
advisers will cause much surprise and
also considerable regret among the
advocates of vegetarianism.
This new measure is part of a plan
which, so it is hoped by the authori-
ties. will result in increasing the
height of the race. The superior stat
ure of the white races has been the
envy OF the natives ever since the IN
yasion of the former into the islands.
and much consideration has been
given to means of lengthening their
own bodies. So now a flesh diet is
to be tried. A number of observa-
tons give color to the hope that it
may prove effective. Thus the tribe
or clan of wrestlers, VINO are of con-
siderable importance in Japan and
who there live almost apart from the
rest of the people and whose diet con-
sists largely of meat, present individ-
uals of a gigantic stature.
Under the ancient regime, the eat.
ing OF flesh was regarded with great
horror by the whole population. The
mobiles aione tasted at times the flesh
of the wild boar, as fitting end to an
exciting hunt But within the last
twenty-five years the consumption of
meat has spread among the people,
until now in the streets of the cities
booths are to be found in plain view,
where for a small sum generous por-

partial Introduction of a meat diet
has modified the physical appearance
of the laboring classes. The men are
less pale and more muscular. 1t ap-

TWO COWS MORE

TITUS BE ADDED TO THE
CHICAGO ZONE.

The Chicago Drover's Journal re-
Gently published an editorial contain
ing some unique and timely ideas.
The west is no longer able to supply
feeding cattle to the farmers of Wis
oonsin, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indi-
ana and Ohio, except at almost fat.
steer prices. The situation is grow
ing more acute each year. There must
be greater effort toward home pro-
duction of beef steers. Within 500
miles of Chicago, east, west, and
south, is an area equal to four mail
lion farms of so acres each. and the
argument is that an average of two
more cows could and should be profit
ably produced on two million such.
farms. These extra cows with their
offspring would increase the present
production by eight million head.
Where is the farmer who owns a
S0-aere tract, who by practicing a
little economy, could not raise at least
two head of beef cattle more each
year for practically the same cost Of
the present output" is asked.
The very foundation of agricult-
ural wealth is corn and cattle and the
economy Of farming demands that rs
10 so per cent of the corn crop be fed
to cattle and hogs" Because farmers
consider the price of feed too high
and quit cattle. there is now great
er stock OF old corn on hand than in
the past decade"
1t is urged that if more corn
us not fed TO cattle its price will de-
crease and finally reduce the price

crease Of two cows per S0-acres
would mean salvation of husbandry.

ELIMINATING the Revolver.

What is the use of having a revol-
yer, at home or anywhere else? Set
aboht it. to think up situation in
which the use of revolver would be
desirable or justifiable. If you hear a
burglar In the horse, would you get
your revolver and sneak out in the
hall to get pop at him? Why that
would be inviting the greatest danger
possible. Should you see a burglar
climbing out of your window and try
mig to skip away, would you shoot2
Possibly, but not with purpose to hit
him fatally. Or if he is coming in,
would you shoot or yell, or throw a
chunk at him? If you shoot it
wouldn't be to kill, but there it the
risk.
No one wants to have hanging IL
his memory the fact that he killed a
man. even if he did it in self-defense
when he would be justified But the
main idea about this matter is that
the keeping a revolver for burglars,
footpads and thieves, simply embold-
ems person to enter upon danger
Gus experiment. There is more harm
and danger in keeping a revolver than
in being without one.
The revolver, therefore, ought to be
outlawed. 1t would be we'll enough to
consider whether the having a revolt
yer in ones possession should not be
made a Unable offense. What a deal
of crime it would prevent If the law
were enforced Just think of it, why
do we want revolvers scattered among
the people? Nobody can tell.-Ohio
