N TO BEINGS FROM
TUBERCULOSIS IN
M

In the course of an article in
the current issue of Farm and
Fireside appears the following:
When one considers that
tuberculosis of animals repre-
sents an annual loss of $23, 000,-
goo to .merican livestock inter
ests, he readily perceiFes that to
decrease the rayages of this di-
sease among cattle and hogs is
the most vital problem of the
modern livestock industry. The
devastations of this enervating
and Iife-sapping plague are not
confined to the lower animals,
for to-day there is no question
about the fact that bovine tuber-
culosis can be transmitted to
human beings, more especially
in the case of children. Meat
and milk consumed in the raw
condition are virulent transport
ers of the dreaded tubereles.
Statistics show that twenty per
cent, Of the white plague pa
tients under sixteen years of age
contracted the disease through
organisms coming from cattle.
Thorough cooking of beef controls
the disease by killing the bacilli.

STATISTICS FOR COTTON.

Washington, July 17.-Con-
ferees Of the Senate and House
have agreed TO a bill which they
think will give to the cotton
grower the same amount Of in
formation on actual cotton that
the cotton spinner now gets On
cotton crop conditions.
The bill would require the Cen
sus Bureau to issue a monthly
bulletin showing the actual
amount of spot cotton On hand

The HEALTH COLUMN
DR.. BOWLING SAYS BREAD
MUST BE WRAPPED.

New Orleans, June m.-Dr.
Oscar Bowling, Of the State
Health Board, this morning de-
clared that the state already has
a ruling demanding the wrapping
of bread and that as soon as the
flood situation improves he is go
ing to see that the regulation Of
the sanitary code is enforced.
Under this provision DR.. DoWl-
ing says all bread must be se-
curely wrapped and protected
from dust and flies.

USES OF LEMONS.

It is well for people to know
before typhoid comes walking in
to their homes that DR.. Asa Fer
guson of London, England, has
discovered that lemon juice is a
deadly foe of typhoid bacilli, and
will cause the germ to shriyel up
and die almost Immediately.
A few drops Of lemon juice in
a glass of drinking water will
kill any typhoid germ that may
be in the water, and make the
drinker immune from typhoid
fever.

But what about the clothes?
Mr.. Bradley appeared in pure
white from head to foot, includ-
ing even a white necktie. Sen

with a crash suit, with impressed
trousers which seemed a foot too

was in full evening dress and he
seemed i'll at ease throughout the
affair. He came in with Senator
Brandegee who was tastefully
attired in a pepper and salt sack

Senator John Sharp Williams
may be regarded as an exception
to the rule for he wore some
thing that might have passed for
evening dress during his student
days in old Heidelberg on the
Natchez about the year 1860.
It was one of those rolling col
lar things that used to go with
Webster's plug hat. Sen

The general staff of the army
has completed its plans for an
reorganization and in
crease of the military establish
ment, a work upon which it has
employed ever since it was
some years ago. The
object sought is the reor-
ganization of the army on the
footing of constant readiness for
war with a permanent expedi-
tionary force always ready for
immediate service.
In a report to the secretary of
war the general staff says as a
result of close study Of the stu
alton in the United States that a
half million men are needed in
first line of defense, includ-
ing SO, 600 coast artillery. This
IS the minimum number of first
troops necessary; and that to
augment this force and replace
it's losses we should have plans
made for raising Immediately an
additional force of 800, 600 men.
All these forces should be avail
able for service anywhere.
The present land forces of the
States comprise in the
regular army about SO, 900 men
1ut Of the total of about 95, 500
authorized, and in the National
125, 900 men. The National

County Attorney Scott Bullitt, Of
Louisville, sixty-five eases for SELL
ing watered or skinned milk against
dairymen supplying Louisville and
certain restaurants. These cases re-
suited from the extensive inspections
that have recently been made
throughout the whole of the Louis
vile milk field and other parts Of
Kentucky,
The samples were collected from
the milk depOts, the dairymen, the
restaurants, the hotels and other
places where milk is served, and
when sample was found to DE wat
cred or skinned, further invest ga
ton was made to determine who was
responsible. About 700 samples were
analyzed in Louisville and IS eases
reported for prosecution. In most
instances the milk was taken from
from the dairymen's herds to deter
mine how much water had been ad-
ded to the milk as supplied by the

Woman Routs Two Burglars in Home

located on the first floor of a four suite terrace. Mrs. Dove occupies the suite opposite the one occupied by Mrs. Carpenter and Mrs. Clancy. The three women had been out together.
 When Mrs. Clancy attempted to open the front door she was surprised to find that the key would not turn. She next observed that the lights within the apartment were all burn ing, though she had turned them of when deaving.
 Mrs. Clancy borrowed a chair from a neighbor and climbed to the dining room. As she raised the window she saw the two men inside. 'T was not a bit frightened" said the brave lit tie woman. 'T am sorry now that made so much noise in opening the window, because might have got in and grabbed one of them. I know l could have held onto him until the neighbors came to my assistance"
 The apartments had been most thoroughly searched. Rugs and mat tresses were turned over. Drawers were pulled out and their contents scattered about. Clothing was re moved from the closets and pains were taken to turn the pockets inside out. The thieves carried away six rings set with diamonds, two gold mesh bags and other articles valued al $500. They also found $165 in cash

Two Races Compared in Mathematics

THE relative mathematical abilities ! of boys and girls and of the white race as compared with the black are among the subjects taken up by the United States bureau of education
 'Tt seems to be the general opinion that the average boy shows more abil- Ity in mathematics than the average girl, but also that he does not work so faithfully" said the bureau. Tn a mixed class this greater ability of the ooy and the greater faithfulness, of :he girl react most advantageously 0n each other.
 Another fact that is noted Is this: n elementary algebra the girl does as -ood work as the boy; in geometry Iot nearly so good. In advanced al- zebra and trigonometry, the boy shows .n ability which is far ahead of the Sirl. Yet, we are free to confess that is greater natural ability is often ,utclassed by the steady, patient en- iea<or of the girl. Perhaps it would ,e safer to say that the girl does not how as great an ability as the boy, .ven though she may have it.

Unique Experiences in Filibustering

with greater bitterness. During one of these seances a gigantic represen, tative from Texas, Buck Kilgore by name, growing hungry and thirsty, too, no doubt, concluded that he would be better off at home and, forgetting the locked doors, started to execute that idea. It chanced that he sat near the only partition that separated the speakers lobby, and that was a flimsy door of green baize, and though the faithful minion of the house had locked 1t, the Texan, with one mighty kick of his right foot, en- cased in a No. 12 cowhide boot, burst the slight affair as easily as though 1t had been of paper and out he marched to the steps that led to free dom.
 "The incident was duly chronicled and Kilgore awoke to find himself temporarily famous. The sublime nerve he manifested set the whole country to laughing. The thing turned out very happily to the kicker in a way that he had never imagined. From every part of the Union enter prising manufacturers sent him boots of the most expensive kind, accom- panied by polite notes begging to be allowed the privilege of naming a brand of footgear after him.

Chance to Carry on Fishing Rod Farm

the ornamental bamboo commonly grown here and the timber bamboo as there Is between a dray horse and a polo pony. It has never been accu- rately determined just what the struc- tural strength of bamboo is, though the strength is immense for the weight. Some tests are to be made of the new government crop at the bureau of standards. The wood is aI- ready much used in the manufacture of aeroplanes, and when it is known just what can be expected of 1t there will be even a greater demand for it.
 It is used very largely in Japan for house building, though 1t is not eH pected it will be in much demand as a building timber in this country, ex. cept in restricted localities. But there are other uses for it. The wood makes the lightest strong furniture known, and, although it has never been very much used for that purpose here, it is thought that the hard, nae turally polished bamboo will make bedsteads that will have all the ad- vantage of brass, besides being quite as handsome, much cheaper and great deal lighter.
 One of the important uses of the wood that has been found abroad Is for cheap, subsurface irrigation pipes

Following the lad to the marking room, the porter was just in time to hear:
 "Yes, I sent 1t into the sorting room," and to see the bellhop, now thoroughly aroused with the spirit of the chase, disappear into the sorting room.
 This time the porter was near enough to hear the boy informed that the little wadded up handker chief containing the mysterious but 'very valuable' something had beaten him to the laundry tub by about four jumps.
 He hastened thither and, seeing the boy frantically paving over the soiled linen, watched him until the youth tri- umphantly pulled forth the object of the search.
 Give us look," cried the porter. 'FWhat was you so crazy about?"
 Without replying the breathless bellhop gingerly pulled the handker- chief open and disclosed MT. Mall com's perfectly good blue glass eye
