GOVERNMENT TUBERCULIh
Is Here, But There Is No One
To Make The Proper Tests.
Need For Supervision.

DR.. I. F. Richardson received 500
doses of tuberculn last week from the
national bureau of animal industry at
Washington. which was requested by
DIR. Richardson while he was state
veterinarian, for the purpose of
making tests of all mileh cows in this
valley. Before the tuberculin arrived,
however, republican state admins
tration had terminated the doctor job,
and with no properly constituted authori-
ty it will not be possible to use the
tests, for the national government has
certain restrictions in the use of It's
gratis tuberculin. Consequently, it
will be returned unused.
Nevada has not, it would seem, paid
enough attention to the matter of caring
for the health of its population by
rigid inspection of stock Meats are
not inspected nor are the sources of our
milk supply guarded as they should be.
Recently government tests made in
Reno of hogs shipped from this valley
demonstrated an alarming percentage
of tuberculosis, more than fifty per
cent, and the infected animals were ac-
cordingly cast aside as unfit for human
use. But what is happening locally?
How many unhealthy cows are con.
trihuting to our local milk supply?
These are matters that may well be
pondered over, and now that state
supervision has ceased, 1t would seem
that the county authorities may well
take the matter up actively.

win EquaIize Telephone Rentals.

Some sort of action may be taken at
the next meeting of the board of county
commissioners, which meets next Nom
day, looking toward the equitable ad.
justment of telephone rentals in this
valley. 1t has been the custom to
charge $1.00 per month rental for each
country phone and $500 for phones
ly considerable kicking has resulted
from among town phone subscribers,
who aver they are being Disseminated
ag ans, and as a result of the discus
sion, it is said the county authorities
may fix a fiat rate of $1.50 for all
phones, thus doing away with the pro

SHOES FOR LONG TRAMPS
Highly Important Part of Equipment
When Girl ContempIates
"Roushing It."

Girls who have had little experience
in outdoor life often do some foolish
things when they begin to try this
form OF enjoyment. One way in which
many of them interfere with their own
comfort is by going on a tramp with
the wrong kind of shoes.
A girl who has played tennis and
found the soft. rubber soled shoes
comfortable will think that they will
surely help her TO enjoy a tramp; but
they are the last thing to wear for
long walk. as these girls have found
to their cost. They come home with
their feet aching and the calves OF the
legs tired out from the lack OF the
spring that is given by heels. Walk
ing with fat, heelless shoes on a
rough road is extremely trying, and
one can feel every stone through the
soft rubber soles.
Quite as bad as the tennis shoes are
low shoes with thin soles and high
heels. These tire the feet ana may
sprain the ankles. The only shoes
that are really satisfactory for rough
ing it" are strong high shoes with
thick soles. The strongest ankles need
support in rough walking. and 1t is
often wet in the woods. The girl who
has once tried the two ways of tramp
ing will never again be persuaded to
wear low or thin shoes.

BAG FOR DRESSES OR HATS
