in regard to legislation concerning be-
vine tuberculosis and glanders in horses
Various opinions We're expressed but no
specific legislation was recommended.
Eutillus Alden of winthrop stated that
taken cows out and sold them after they
had been condemned. and others present
said they knew of similar eases. The
discussion developed the fact that a t,l-
berculin test of all of the cattle Of the
State under the new regulations would
cost 10000, which all admitted was
greatly in excess of what the State could
afford.
DIR. Bailey of Winthrop said that there
were but few towns in the State that
did not receive milk from. tuberculous cat
tie and send out tnherculous butter. Mr..
Alden asked Senator Moulton if he
thought that ii would be impossible "a
get an appropriation for the tlberculin
test for the next two years. Senator
SIoulton replied that he did not see any
reason why they would not get an APP
preparation if the amount asked for was
within reason. The only question was
how and by whom the test should BE-
made.
Cattle Commissioner Deering called the
attention of the meeting to the recon-
mendation of the mssioners provid-
ing that all reacting cattle should go un-
der government inspection. He said that
under this law considerable number of
cattle condemned might be saved for
food
Leon S. Merrill in behalf of the Dairy
mems Association, which took the initia-
tive in calling this meeting, thanked
those present for their attendance and il
was voted 10 adjourn subject to call of

session. The meeting for perfecting the
organization will be held probably within

AN INTERESTING EXPLANATION.
Why Many Auto Drivers and Airmen
Meet Sudden Death.

A. curious explanation is now given
by medical authorities of sudden
deaths of automobile drivers and air.
men which have hitherto been unex-
planned. Doctors do not accept sud
den heart failure as a sufficient eX-
planation The real cause is given as
earbonic acid gas poisoning due to the
pressure on the mouth resulting from
driving fast through the air and the
consequent inability to expel the pois-
oned air which has been breathed.
Air once breathed is practically car
bonic acid gas. When you are passing
RAPIDLY through the air in car or an
aeroplane this suffocating earponc
acid gas is pushed back into the lungs
and only little can get away because
of the wall of air pressing into the
mouth. So it is rebreathed, ana the
result is carbonic acid gas poisoning,
which produces a kind of narcotic
sleep.
Automobiles and airmen. 1t is
urged, should wear mouth guard
with a U-shaped tube. the ends OF
which should open behind the ears
and point backward, so that the
breath containing the carbonic acid
gas could get away. This guard ought
to cover the nose also.
People are not likely to come to
grief from direct poisoning the first
time they drive fast, but In process OF
time a disease. it seems. Is produced.
Automobilists who run past their des-
tination without knowing why should
beware. for it is a sign that the. di-
sease is getting hold of them.
The danger is especially great in
winter. when the air Is very cold. One
cannot inhale such quantity OF air
in winter as in summer. for there Is a.
mechanism in the breathing apparatus
which prevents too cold air from rush.

er's Week" Such recognition as this
Will not only interest the farmers of
Maine, but also stimulate them to gain
scientific knowledge and do more eff
cient work than ever before The ulti-
mate benefits to the whole state is not
far to seek. Every farmer should con-
cern himself with this foresighted plan

HUI spiritedly declared that it was
a crime to permit such allegations to
pass unchallenged and observed that
there were more military critics in
the United States than in all the
rest Of the world. Hull said that the
government had been for some years
accommodating reserve ammunition:
that is, nearly 2S.Oo0,000 rounds for
small arms. all that the country need
ed to accumulate for public defence,
was already in reserve and more
could be manufactured as rapidly as
needed. He said that $4,000 improved
Springfield rifles and an ample sup
ply of Heterogeneous and other
makes were on hand.
Tawney of Minnesota, chairman Of

clared that If this country was not
in condition of preparedness after
spending an amount almost equal to
the bonded Indebtedness of the United

of the Panama canal for preparedness.
