FIGHT FOR
PURE MILK
Hundreds of Tubercula1
Cows Are Killed in Dis
trict of Columbia by
Authorities.

Washington, Aug. Probably no
other area of territory i'm the United
States has been more affected by the
war against tuberculous cattle than
that section occupied by dairymen serv
ing the District of Columbia with milk
and other dairy products. This terri
tory includes sections of the Virginias
! Maryland, and Delaware, and from the
herds Of cows grazing in them, hun.
! dreds 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
Capital to deal with, but also the De-
J partment of Agriculture, specifically
the Bureau OF Animal Industry which
has been exceedingly active during the
I past twelve months. That the FEEDER
al government should take such an
interest in the condition OF the milk
served at the tables In the District is
due the fact that members of Con
gress and government officials are gen.
orally interested in the product used
by them and their families.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson has
given the crusade his personal atten.
ton. with the result that all laws gov.
erning the production OF milk have
been more rigidly enforced than ever.
/ Then again, Il seems to be the plan of
: the department to make the milk sup
ply OF the National Capital a model
for the authorities of other cities TO
pattern after. To have healthy cows
supply milk to tn eresidents of the
seat Of Federal government and to
have those animals affected with dis
ease treated according to law. is a
great object lesson to the farmers and
dairymen supplying milk to other com.
munities throughout the country.
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 they
say that will meet the demands Of the
Agricultural Department and the
Health authorities Of the District. on
the other hand, those at the head OF
the crusade contend that plenty oi
healthy cows can be bought in any
part of the Virginias. Maryland or Del
aware, and regardless OF the numer
Gus complaints filed. they have scrupu
lously continued their work carrying
out the anti-tuberculosis law to the
letter.

New York, Aug 1.-"Joy riding" will
be thing of the past In the metropol

IL the Callen motor vehicle law. which

among reckless drivers of automobiles
that the officials mean business and
that yiolatoa's or the statute will soon
find themselves on the inside, looking
out. of cell. Many chauffeurs and
reckless drivers have been deprived
o ftheir tags and the good work will
go merrily on, IL is promised. until
the whole pestiferous band of 10y

ling their just deserts. Every chauf-
feur has been "mugged" and other
methods of Identification have been
made use OF to the end that no guilty
man escape.
The Callan law Is i'm many RESPECTS
the most stringent automobile legis
lation enacted I'm any OF the thirty
three states which have passed stat.
ntes regulating motor vehicle traffic
In one important provision, however
10 is more liberal than the laws OF
other states, as 1t permits n maximum
speed OF thirty miles an hour. This "a
from six to eighteen miles in excess
OF the speed permitted In other states.

about 500 has been expended in various
ways. Monthly stipends go 10 several aged
women. 1.260 quarts of milk were sent out.

tone he wants he must, perforce, confess
that it is because OF his own want OF
skill
Two costumes are illustrated to-day IN
which the color schemes, though widely
different in character, are equally worthy
of note The first has an orange founda-
ton yelled with gold lace and over this IS
a tunic of peacock blue chiffon. In addi-
ton 10 these gorgeous tints there are en-
brofderies of beads in many colors on the
tunic.
Silver gray and white are the prlncf-
pal coIors of the second gown, but they are
frightened by an empiecement Of dull red
embroidered in various soft tones, which
adorns the upper part Of the corsage. The
empiecement is bordered with a gallon set
with green cabochons and also touched
with black Gray chiffon over a founda-
ton Of white satin forms the main part Of
the corsage, but in the skirt the relative
positions Of these colOrs are reversed,
white satin being used over gray satin
Gray fur of the same shade as the satin
trims the overskirt and the sleeves.
The underskirt of this gown is made in
a cross-over style, the overlapping sections
being cut away at the lower corners so as
TO make the bottom OF the skirt uneven.
Whatever one may think OF this arrange
rnent it is unquestionably more graceful
in this instance than it often is

Thanksrivinn Cheer

There is much satisfaction in the thought
that the Thanksgiving cheer so widely dis
tributed brought sunshine into many
homes. Letters expressing thanks and
gratitude are received daily from far and
near. Four branch presidents in the city
were aided in providing dinners for needy
families in their own localities and they
volunteered 10 buy the dinners, thereby
providing many more substantial things
for g each than could have been procured
IN any other way. Mrs. Clarence Burns
the T. S 5. president. personally secured
twenty-five dinners for families who were
not able to buy anything extra for them
selves. The sunshine girls of the Pascal
Institute provided two dinners for families
on the West Side and one was sent TO
Jersey City. The Friendly Aid branch gave
IS 10 the general Thanksgiving fund and
sent s. TO the home of two aged women,
both of whom are crippled. The Golden
Rule branch has added 10 the generous
contributions given 20 Miss Curry's Zoo
dinners by giving d barrel of apples. q

milk.
