1t has been proven time and again
that other cattle, hogs, poultry, guir ca
pigs, rabbits and monkeys will rapidly
contract this disease from the COW.
The human germ, and that from cattle
are nearly absolutely alike and it has
been proven that cattle and other ami
mails will take the disease from man.
At our Experimental Station at Mad
ison, pig was given one feed of milk
from tuberculosis COW. Three
months afterwards the pig was slaugh
tered and was completely full of tuber-
cular nodules.
Stop for minute and think that no
child is born with consumption, but we
all know Of instances where nearly en-
tire families have been wiped out with
this dread disease. They took it one
from the other.
A. K. J0iiey, former principal of the
Mineral Point High School, bought a
farm at Whitewater, and a herd Of
Guernseys that were free from tt,Itoer,
eulosis. He bought an INFESTED animal
; al sale and put her at one end of the
row of cows, Upon having the herd
tested later this COW proved tubercular
and the next COW in the row had also
contracted it from the other.
At Argyle, Oliver Jacobson had COW
that was suspicious when tested two
years ago. He Kept her in the herd,
and upon recent test, this cow reacted
and others in the herd reacted also.
Hundreds of such instances are at
hand A very serious case Of tuber-
culosis in turkeys is to be found at
Moptfort, probably contracted from
skim milk or COW droppings.
The Chronicle states that instances
are on record where tuberculosis has
been given an animal by the injection
of tuberculin, An offer has been pub
licly made in Iowa county Of 800 tt

Millions of Lives
An Awful Toll Collected by Con.
sumption. Many Unnecessary
Deaths.

If people could only understand that
systemic catarrh is an internal disease
that external applications cannot cure,
they would not need to be warned SO
often about this malady, which, when
neglected, paves the way oftentimes for
consumption, at the cost of millions Of
lives every year. Yet catarrh may be
cured, if the right treatment is EN-
ployed-
line only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed and carried by the
blood to all parts Of the system, SO that
the mucous membrane or internal
lining Of the body is toned up and
made capable Of resisting the infection
of consumption and other diseases.
We have remedy prepared from the
prescription Of a physician who for
thirty years studied and made catarrh
a speciality, and whose record was a
patient restored to health in every case
where his treatment was followed as
prescribed. That remedy II Rexall
Mucu Tone We are 80 positive that it
will completely overcome catarrh in all
its various forms, whether acute Or
chronic, that we promise to return
every penny paid US for the medicine in
every case where it fails or for any
reason does not satisfy the user.
We want you to try Rexall Mucu-
Tone on our recommendation and
guarantee. We are right here where
you live, and you do not contract any
obligation or risk when you try Rexall
Mucu Tone on our guarantee. We
have Rexall Mucu Tone in two sizes,
80 cents and $1.00. Very often the
taking of one 80 cent bottle is sufficient
to make a marked impression upon the
case. OF course in chronic cases a
longer treatment is necessary. The
average in such instances is three 81 90
bottles. Remember you can obtain

American Influence In Canada

Wherever the American goes in force
and in proportion TO his sympathetic
reception he leaves as side issue the
indelible impression of his vivid Per-
sonality In such wise he is changing
the sedate old maritime provinces so
very rapidly that you can hardly ind
any difference between them and
Maine or Massachusetts. This is in
obedience to a natural law which must
bring about such results. His man.
ners, his speech, his coinage, his means
of communication. whether by land or
sea, are entirely reciprocal with Can
ada, but as he is mighty and Canada
is feeble numerically the greater, as
usual, includes the less.-F. I. Bullen

THE TEST LAW
A Timely and Interesting Article

SAFEGUARD NEEDED
The Percentage of Loss III Iowa
County is Small.

County is Small.
To the Editor Of the Democrat:
The Dodgeville Chronicle, issue of
Dec. Is, takes notice of mass meeting
held in that city for the purpose Of
, asking the coming legislature to repeal
the tuberculosis law now in effect.
The law in question provides that no
bull, COW, or heifer shall be sold for
breeding or dairy purposes, unless test
ed and found free from tuberculosis,
and also that no person shall apply
tuberculin to any animal without
making q report to the State Board.
Since December 1, the writer has
tested 1923 head Of eattle la az iast over
the line Of Iowa county. Of these only
two herds We're tested because they were
compelled by law (wanting to sell J.

thought to be the right thing to do Out
of this number less than 80 have reacted,
and all but Of these have been pur-
| chased. Had this law been in effect at
the time these cattle were purchased it
would have prevented these innocent
parties buying diseased stuff.
This percentage of reactions is less
than 3 per cent. The State pays {
value for these animals and the loss is
too trifiing to mention compared with
! the danger Of these animals commune
eating the disease to other animals, and
to the users Of the milk.
Il. W. Bourrett, and Herbert Wash

actions and as many more suspicious.
Everyone of these were shipped herefrOm
Fit. Atkinson, It is a fact, that before
this law went into effect that unscrup7{
lous cattle men in the eastern part OF
the state were privately testing their
own cattle and selling the diseased ones
to any one who would get them out OF
their neighb0rh0od.
The law in question provides penal
ty of 800 for doing this, and this is as
it should be.
The Chronicle states that this testing
is in the hands of few. On December
1, 1910, when this law went into effec1

While it is a fact that some of these

Examinations are held at Madison
and any one may write them.
The test is very simple and any care

In the Oklahoma bank guaranty case. Justice Holmes of the U. s. Su- preme court expressed the opinion that the police power of the State ''may be put forth in aid of what is sane tioned by usage or held by the pre- vailing morality or strong and pre- ponderant opinion to be greatly and immediately necessary to the public welfare'-tfat is, to all great public needs
 To Iayman, this opinion covers very wide ground. If the compensa- tion. for instance, of worknen for injuries sustained, is considered by strong and preponderant opinion to be greatly and immediately necessary to the public welfare, the grant of such compensation comes under the police power. And this, despite the recent decision of the New York Court of Appeals, that in substance, compul- sory compensation is confiscatory and unconstitutional.

 Hartford, March 31-The usual an- ti-vaccination hearing came off at the Capitol yesterday before the commit tee on public health and safety and there was the usual line of argument. Porter F. Cope Of Philadelphia, sec retary of the Anti Vaccination League of America, was the leader for the antis and among those who spoke of his side were l.. w. Anderson of Wa terbury and Major Thomas Boudren of Bridgeport. The latter when he arose, was asked if he was doctor. 'fNo. Thank God" was his reply. The men in favor of vaccination included pr. E.. J. Mcknight, Dr. George Bloomer of New Haven, dean of the Yale Medical school, pr. W. R. Stein CT, pr. Edward B.

California has adopted the initiative, referendum and recall, applying the last named even to the judiciary. Ari- because of the inclusion of recall of the Judiciary in it's constitution. The supporting argument in the Arizona case is that it would place the courts at the mercy of popular clamor" What is popular clamor'' but public sentiment, and what, if not public sentiment, should govern a free people ial departments?
 Suppose case! In many States, judges are chosen directly by the peo- pie, Or by popular clamor'' if that phrase better suits the objectors to the recall These judges may not fulfil the popular expectation; they may render decisions antagonizing public sentiment and doing so by means of technicalities which defeat justice. Should not the power which created them, be empowered to depose them?
 The verities which attend elective judgeships. apply less strongly to the appointive, though the foundation principle is the same.
 Appointed judges owe their positions indirectly to the people who choose the appointing power. There is popular confidence in the good judgment of that power but it may be misplaced. Should there not be some means of redress? If none is provided, the conditions may become intolerable.
 We find no valid reason for exemp- ton of the judiciary from the recall.

compounding of prescriptions if for no other reason, no drug clerk should be kept on duty so long as to impair his powers of perception or his general health, but is it advisable that drug stores be closed for even an hour, and their resources for the alleviation of human ills, perhaps for the preserva- tion of life. be made inaccessible to the public? It is easy to imagine eases in which the non-availability of drugs for even the short period of an hour might be the direct cause of death.
 Lessen the working hours of clerks if you like, but do 1t in such a way that drugs may be obtained at any time during the 24 hours and thus avert all possibility of the occurrence of deaths as the result of inability to secure drugs which might avert fatali- ties!

GETS SE3,667.35 VERDICT FOR LOSS
 OF HIS RIGHT EYE
Plainville Man Wins Again t
 New Haven Road - Largest Award Given in Such Case

Hartford, March 31-The jury in the Superior court yesterday reported that James J. Murphy of Plainville was entitled to recover $13,667.35 from the Connecticut Co. and the New York New Haven & Hartford railroad com- pany. This is the largest verdict ever reported in this county, and in so far as the lawyers in the case know, the largest ever reported in this State
 where a person sued to recover for personal injuries, alleged to have been received through negligence of com mon carrier or any sort of a public service corporation.
 That Murphy did not receive more was due to the position taken by some of the jurymen. Of the twelve there was but one who was below the $10, 900 mark, and that one wanted to report verdict for $6 900. The figures placed by other jurymen ran from wanted to award $20,000.
 MT. Murphy who is 37 years old, was passenger on one of the troll ley cars which were in collision at White Oak in October of last year. He was injured and he has lost the other injuries. John T. Robinson, who appeared for the Connecticut Company and the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad company, who were made joint defendants told the jury Tuesday morning that the defendants admitted liability and that the one question for the jury was to say how much MT. Murphy should receive.
 The verdict was reported at 12:30 yesterday afternoon and immediately John T. Robinson said that he wanted to be heard on a motion to set it aside.
 Mr. Robinson told Judge Burpee that he believed the jury was moved by sympathy or prejudice. If the judge believed tbat the verdict was excessive, there were two courses open to the court. One was to or der a new trial, and the other was to order a new trial conditionally, that is to give the plaintiff an oppor- tunity to file remittitus as to part of the verdict, and if the remittitus was not filed to order a new trial. Mr. Robinson said that if the court took his view, a new trial would be ordered conditfonally. If the jury did not find that he was liable to lose the sight of his left eye, the verdict for (the loss of the sight of the right eye) was excessive and anything above $5,- 900 would be excessive. If it had been made clear that MT. Murphy was going to lose the sight of his left eye, MT. Robinson said. he would not think that the verdict was excessive. Judge Burpee said that because of the size of the verdict he thought he should look it over and he asked the court stenographer to furnish him a transcript of the testimony.
