coasting. Both bones of the lads right
arm were broken above the wrist, and
the left side of his body, across his

thought for a time that several ribs
had been broken, so intense was the
pain. The boy was cnasting on a sin
gle sled on the Sleight hill, when he
lost control of the sled and it crashed
into one of the trees on the hillside.

it was thought that the entire amount

report, that there is still a shortage of
$500 with no receipts or vouchers to
show for the expenditures. Mr.. Gan

under present conditions, have a very
serious effect upon business. The
country was urgently in need of a
large cotton crop. but the outlook is
now for 100000 bale yield, which
is below normal and means continued
high prices for cotton. The effect Of
this upon the domestic industry and
upon the export trade must be taken
into consideration. Our main hope re-
garding the crops still centers upon
corn. Should this prove bumper
yield it will do much towards offeset-
ting any loss in wheat and cotton. The
result, however, will be to leave the
agricultural situation spotty. Some
of our farmers will enjoy another sea-
son of exceptional profits. while 9TH
ers must endure serious loss
The business outlook is mixed: both
bright and doubtful in spots. A very

that industrial interests of the cour.-

This process is unpleasant while It

both commerce and industry upon a
sounder and stronger basis. The re.
action which began in stocks must
extend more or less into other diyl-
sions of business. In all probability

Cattle tuberculosis War is
On in Earnest in District

BUSINESS, and 1t has often been the con-
tention of owners of cattle and lawyers
that many animals killed as diseased
were in reality healthier animals than
those permitted to live. All these al
legations have been refuted. however.
by the tuberculosis test which if it
reacts means the death of the animal
tested. no matter what the owner or
his attorney produces as evidence that
the animal is not infected
Another feature OF the crusade which
has helped lend interest and Jealous

is has been that the experimental sta
ton of the bureau of animal indus
try. which is located few miles from
Washington. Here healthy and diseas.
ed cows alike are tested to see what
effect this or that kind of food, hay
and grass or other edibles will have
on them.
Here, too. numerous other animals
are kept in cages for experimental
purposes. Milk taken from cows found
to be infected with tuberculosis is fed
to guinea pigs and rabbits. Then the
little animals are watched closely to
see If the disease develops. Not once
during the past year according to OH
Gals at the experimental station have
the small animals fed the milk from
riseased cows survived for more than
several weeks. They develop the dis.
ease almost Immediately. showing le-
sions and gradually wasting away. In
many of these cases the cows from
which the milk is taken have been
found to be in apparently good health

serum.
The guinea pigs after being killed
or dying are dissected. BY this pro-
cess of dissection some startling re

case the lungs of the little creatures
are found to be badly affected with the

medical authorities in charge the car

sv JONATHAN WINFIELD.

Washington, July 30.-Probably no
other area Of territory In the United
States has been more affected by the
war against tuberculosis cattle than
that section occupied by dairymen
serving the District Of Columbia with
milk and other dairy products This
territory includes sections of the vir-
ginias, Maryland and Delaware and
from the herds of cows grazing in
them. hundreds OF animals found to be
affected with tuberculosis have been
taken and condemned In the past year
Not only does the farmer or dairy
man living In these sections have the
health department of the national cap
ital to deal with, but also the depart
ment OF agriculture, specifically the
bureau OF animal industry which has
been exceedingly active during the
past twelve months. That the federal
government should take such an inter-
est in the condition OF the milk serv-
ed at the tables In the district is due
to the fact that members of congress
and government officials are generally
interested in the dairy products used
by them and their families.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
has given the crusade his personal
attention to the crusade with the re-
suit that all laws governing the pro-
duction of milk have been more rigidly
enforced than ever. Then again, it
seems to be the plan of the department
to make the milk supply of the nation
al capital a model for the authorities
of other cities to pattern after. To
have healthy cows supplying milk to
the residents of the seat of federal
government and to have those animals
affected with disease treated accord
ing to law, is a great object lesson to
the farmers and dairymen supplying
milk to other communities through
out the country. Tx. .
In many instances whole herds of
cattle, apparently healthy. have been
ordered killed. A score or more of
dairymen have been compelled to give
up the milk business on account OF
not being able to purchase cows that
will meet the demands of the agricult-
ural department and the health au-
thorities of the district. On the 9th.
err hand those at the head Of the cru
SADIE contend that plenty of healthy
cows can be bought in any part of the
Virginias, Maryland or Delaware. and
regardless of the numerous complaints
filed. they have scrupulously contin-
ued their work of carrying out the an
Tuberculosis law to the letter.

ORDER STEEL CARS
This Class Cars Are Being

by Railroads.
DEMANDED BY THE PUBLIC

New York. July 3O.-Steel cars are
now being built in great numbers for
the railroads Of the country. Though
the movement began only four or five
years ago. 1t has proceeded SO far
that the end OF the wooden car is now
predicted. In his recent report to the
stockholders. the president of the
largest manufacturing concern. the
American Car and Foundry company
says:
I'm all the work Of Improvement OF
your plants. your management has had
IN mind the growing demand for steel
IN preference to wooden car produc-
tion: and your company is prepared
for. the time when cars OF steel will
entirely supersede those OF wood"

cars exclusively would be used in the
tunnels under the Hudson river was
regarded ~ \ rather sensational piece

monplace now. One after another. the
important lines are turning to the new
