large ones. There are today undoubt-
edly many more Jews in New York
than ever had permanent residence in
Jerusalem at any given time. They
constitute about one-sixth OF the S..

Foreigners a Problem for New York

their homes, who do not have Ameri-
can Ideals before them and who do
not go about their duties with the
American spirit. In brief, New York
Is thronged with multitudes who are
living in different age of the world
and who are dominated by other ideas
OF morality, duty and the like. Their
ideas of cleanliness are not those Of
the typical American. 1t is doubtful
whether American institutions mean
much to them. Foreign thoughts, pur-
poses, ideals, business methods, man.
ners and customs are swamping the
city.
AS one moves about and comes into
contact with New York employees he
will be fortunate indeed II he does not
suffer from their bad manners. not
to say insolence. Probably some OF
this is due to the conditions of a great
city, and would occur even under the
best of circumstances. However, the
presence In the city Of such enormous
masses of ignorant and incompetent
people, saturated with unAmerican
ideals and purposes, cannot help hav-
ing tremendous and bad influence
upon others. The conditions in New
York really constitute a very great
problem indeed.

DISEASE FOUND AMONG HOGS
tuberculosis Affects Animals as Well
as Man-loss Amounts to
Millions Annually.

Farmers Bulletin 473, issued by
Secretary Wilson, contains an impor-
tant and most comprehensive state
ment OF facts on bovine tuberculosis.
The bulletin deals with the history,
nature, symptoms of the disease; how
1t spreads. how herd is infected, the
tuperculin test, and its prevention
and suppression.
tuberculosis" the bulletin states,
is widespread disease affecting ami.
mails and also man. Human beings
and cattle are its chief victims, but
there is no kind of animal that will
not take 1t. Hogs and chickens are
quite affected; horses, sheep and goats
being affected but seldom, however.
The disease is contagious. 1t
spreads from cow to cow in herd
until most Of them are affected. 1t Is
slow In developing and may not be-
come noticeable for months or even
years. The tuberculin test, which
cannot do harm to the healthy COW,
reveals the germ in a few hours, and
always proves successful when in the
hands Of an experienced veterinar-
ian."
THE disease is common among
hogs" the bulletin goes on. "The
public abattoirs report that serious
percentage of hogs inspected is found
to be tuberculous. The losses among
cattle and hogs are enormous, amount
Ing to millions of dollars annually"
Turning to the infection of human
beings with the tuberculosis germ
through cattle. the bulletin says:
Milk Is the staple food of infants
and young children and is usually ta-
ken in the raw state. If this milk is
taken from tuberculous COW it may
contain millions of living tubercle
germs. Young children fed on such
milk often contract the disease, and
it is frequent cause of death among
them.
Meat from tuberculous cattle is not
SO likely to convey the infection for
several reasons. 1t does not so fire.
quently contain the germs, cooking
destroys those that may be present,
and. lastly. meat is not consumed by
very young children"
AS to the spread of the disease, the
bulletin says: Sooner or later the
tuberculous COW begins to give off the
germs of the disease The germs es.
cape by the mouth and nose, the bow
els, in the milk, and in discharges
from the genital organs. When the
germs are being given off in any of
these ways, the disease is known as
open tuberculosis"
The bulletin concludes with: Dark.
dirty, crowded stables are favorable
to tuberculosis. Under these condi-
tions the disease spreads rapidly and
is only kept out with difficulty.
Clean, airy, well-lighted stables. on
the other hand, are unfavorable to the
development of the disease. If brought
into such a stable it does not spread
so rapidly and is not difficult to get
rid of as in the first case.
"A well-built, sanitary stable need
not be made of expensive material or
of elaborate design, but should have
plenty of light. air, and drainage.
Light is very important Direct
sunlight is great destroyer of germ
life. Tubercle bacilli soon die If ex.
posed to sunlight It is disinfectant,
always ready to work without cost"

self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism untitled
for the trial of strength, and when it
is over her system has received a shock
from which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner-
vous strain of caring for the child, and
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an I'M
prepared condition, and with ample time
in which to prepare, women will persis,
in going blindly to the trial.

Yesterday was the first day OF

have recognized 1t from the outward
and visible signs that 1t brought in
its train. The first day Of spring is
usually March q. The vernal eQui-
nox-the day when the sun crossing
the equator from south to north coin
cides with the point at which the ce-
lestial equator and the ecliptic meet
almost always comes on that day
But there is a difference Of three-ten
thousandths Of day every year be-
tween the tropical year and the calen
dar year And yesterday was the one
day in 1888 years in which enough Of
these three-ten-thousandt of days
had piled up to make the vernal
equinox fal a whole day earlier. Fol
that reason spring arrived officially
earlier this year than 1t will again fol
1888 years.
