TUBERCULOSIS IN ANIMALS
BY A. c. Page, College OF A0r'cuI'
ture, University Of Mis-
souri,,

Is there really much danger to hui
man beings in drinking milk from tu'
herculous cows? The agricultural pa
pers of the country have published
many articles both pro and con, and
the matter is more or less undecided
in the minds Of many. A man who
has a large herd of cows which may
have tuberculosis Is likely to think
there is no danger. 1t is only natural
seeing that there are two Widespread
opinions, that he would hold the most
practical one. The consumer. how
ever, pays for a pure food product,
and he has a right to know the facts.
Some have claimed that bovine tu-
herculosis Is not transmissible to the
human. This is proved to be untrue.
Bovine tuberculosis is TRANSMIT 'sible to
man, ii we are to take the reports OF
many experiments and records from
various parts OF the world. Any num-
her of cases may be cited to prove
this.
There are a number of characteris-
tics of the tuberculosis germs which
ARE giving rise to arguments among
the scientists. But the most Ut them
seem to be agreed that the disease 10
rransmissible from man to animal or
animal to man. And this ia the i'm.
portant point for practical considera-
ton.
1t il true that infants seem to be
more readily affected by the disease
from cows than are adults. One man
cited this fact as reason for oppoe-
ing the tuberculin tests, for, he said,
only occasional infants would be in
fected with the disease. There is no
accounting for opinions. This man
was probably bachelor.
An opinion sometimes met with Is
that COW will not transmit the dis.
case unless she has actual LESSONS In
her udder. This opinion mas been
proved false, as cow gave off germs
IN her milk soon after they were ill.,
jected at her shoulder. she having no
sign of the disease previously.
A dairyman told me recently that
there was nothing to the tuGerculin
test. He said that cows were tested
once and found to react, and again
after six months they showed no sign
of the trouble. It is true that in most
cases the men who test for the dis
ease are careless, and obtain unrelia-
lie and worthless results. The tu-
berculin test, however, when properly
applied, is reliable. Any COW roacting
to the test is dangerous. Her milk
may carry the germs of tuberculosis
to a large number of people. especial.
ly infants.
When men all realize the danger Of
this disease and understand the meth.
DDS of its control, q great advance
will be made in the health Of tho
state and nation.

Women Jurors Kick on Smokers.

Seattle, WASH, Nov. IA. - The
Women Voters Council memorable
ed the County Commissioners for re-
lief from the inconvenience caused
women doing duty as jurors by men
on the jury, who insist on smoking
their pipes in the jury-room.
Eight women jurors have served
during the current month, though
with some inconvenience to them
selves, because of the smoke of which
they complain.
1t was represented to the Commits
siners that on every jury there are
two or three men who insist on smok-
ing during the deliberations.
One woman Juror said: "The jury
room has been so thick with smoke
on several occasions that l could not
see my nearest neighbor
All night sessions, with the jurors
resting in uncomfortable chairs, tilted
back against the wall, are objected to
by the women.
1t is commended that the county
should provide a separate jury-room
for the women, where they could re-
cline comfortably until morning.
Women bailiffs to wait upon the
female Jurors are also asked.

Springfield, Mo-, Nov. 14.-ln an
exciting race to enter claim for 100

county, discovered few days ago to
be unsettled, Nathan P. White won
the ground by filing his claim two
minutes ahead of Archie A. Thomas

night, when the Receiver and Regis
trar of the Land Office were asleep.

however, by the anxious claimants,
who informed them that the Land

were on time at the appointed hour,

Pool is Secretary
of Capitol Board.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Nov. 81.
Kelley Pool of Centralia, Mo-, was
declared elected secretary of the Cap
itol Commission yesterday by Chair
man E. w. Stephens after Attorney
General Major submitted an opinion
overruling the protest of the Republic
can members of the board. Pool is
in jefferson City and will begin work
to-day.
His election took place at meeting
of the commission last Friday. The
Republican protest to his election was
on the ground that there was not a
quorum present.
The four members of the board
Chairman E. w. Stephens of Column
bia, j. C. A. Hitler of St. Louis Coun-
ty, A. A. Speer of Chamois and Theo-
dore Lacaff of Nevada-were present
when the name of Pool was presented.
Before the vote Speer withdrew from
the room.
Chairman Stephens called for vote.
Pool received the votes of the chair
man and Hitler. Lacaff voted no.
Attorney General Major ruled that
the three members voting on the
election of Pool constituted quorum
of the Capitol Commission Board. His
decision further held that two votes
of the three Commissioners present
was legal majority and that the cleo
ton of Pool was valid.
When the opinion was given to the
board Chairman Stephens at once
called meeting, at which he declared
Pool the secretary Of the commission.
The only charge lodged against the
election OF Pool has been that he is a
partisan. No question has ever been
raised as to his qualifications.
Pool is the editor of paper at Gen.
tralia, Boone County. He has filled
the positions of chief clerk of the

WANT TO LYNCH A BANKER
Former Butler Boy Forced to Hide
from Angry Mob.

lIOIu <Au8Ay MOOs
Gentry, Ark, Nov. 1O.-Bent on
lynching, practically the entire popu'
lation of this town is seeking C. A.
Catron, cashier of the Bank of Gen.
try, which failed yesterday. Fearing
the angry citizens would take quick
vengeance upon the cashier if caught,
the authorities have hidden him.
The bank had a cash capital of
$40, 600, and its deposits and liabilities
reached $168, 200. Its assets are esti-
mated at 100000. Of the latter
$3.50, 900 is in notes.
Nine Negroes Brought $6,845.
Oregon, Mo-, Nov. l2.-Old-time
records brought to light in dim and
musty recesses of the Holt County
courthouse, which is being remod-
eled, show that in 1860 there were
294 slaves assessed by Stephen C..
Collins, then the county assessor.
The assessed valuation was $3.50,
$50. Thomas Bragg was at that time
the heaviest slave owner in the coun-
ty, having sixteen, valued at SIS, 600
by the assessor.
On April 20, 1858, the records show
that Galen Crow, then sheriff, in ac-
cordance with court mandate made
a sale in the partition of the lands
and negroes belonging to the estate
of Thomas Pope.
The report shows that 500 acres of
land, which are now held at more
than 500 an acre, were sold at frac-
ton over $500 an acre. He also
sold nine negroes for $6,845.
