At meeting of the Jefferson County Board of Healthss.:==fast~ night,
 presided over by President >o W. Clark and secretafy Asa Brunson, resolution was /adopted, providing that all milch/ cows in this county furnishing milk for the public, shall be inspected and tested with tuber- culin and tn at in future all dairymen iii the county shall present a clean bill of health for each and every GOV ir use. Tie subject of the inspec- tion is to safeguard the / public against tubehculosis and other in- fectious diseases>s Under<fhe resolu- tion it is intended to employ a re- putable veterinarian here to begin an immediate inspection of all cattle in the county on dairies and at slaugh- ter houses.
 The meeting of the Board of Health was occasioned by many con- plaints which have recently been reg istered against the indiscriminate kill ling of diseased cattle and the use of milk and butter from COWS infected with tuberculosis and other infect ious diseases. All cattle found to be infected with tubercular germs or other infections will be condemned and ordered killed and their carcas- ses burned.
 The Board of Health authorities in the interest of good health ask the cooperation of the public in their efforts to stamp out the sale of dis ceased meats and infected dairy pro- ducts. They ask that consumers refuse to ptaronize dairymen or meat dealers who cannot show a certifi- cate, which will be issued by the Board of Health, showing their cat tie to be free of disease, and to report any dealers not having a certificate.

 Further, that all milk cattle from which milk and butter is now being sold shall be immediately inspected and tested, and annually thereafter
 All beef cattle shall be inspected within at least ten days before be- ing slaughtered; that all stables, dairies and slaughter houses shall be kept in a clean and sanitary condition; that any COW or beef cat tie found to be infected with tuber- culosis or any other infectious di- seases shall be condemned by said veterinary surgeon, and any person or persons who shall place on the market any beef, milk or butter from
