Tuberculosis in Dogs,

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Beware of tuberculosis in dogs. The
authorities have proved that there are
from 1900 to 1S,0eo dogs in Paris afflicted
with tuberculosis The following is an
important statement by Prof. Cadiot OF
the National Veterinary School of Abort
in regard to diseased dogs and cats: We
should never neglect to keep clear Of dogs
and cats liable to have tuberculosis, for
innumerable are the men who catch the
disease by coming in contact with domes-
tic pets. They are 500 times more liable
to the disease than horses, for instance.
1t has been proved that at least per
cent of the 100000 dogs of Paris are more
or less affected, and it is the same where
there are large gatherings of men and
dogs" Prof. Cadiot spoke at length
about dogs that live in public establish
ments, such as restaurants, bars Of every
kind, and hotels, and proved that what
with sputum, droppings, and vomiting,
floors are infected with myriads OF mi
crobes, ready to affect men, and not only
those living on the premises, but also
those who frequent such places, are par
ticularly prone to contamination. Prof.
Cadiot insists especially upon the danger
children incur of catching the dreaded
disease from household pets, and it is
known that precautions must be taken
against interhuman contagion. 1t is also
indispensable to guard against animal
contagion, especially for children, for
most of them live in closer contact with
cats and dogs than grown people.

that Lieut.. w. H. Lassing. recruiting

theft OF a $500 touring car. and a court
officer TO the navy recruiting station.

President Willard Will Issue a
Statement TODAY.

1t was said in Wall Street yesterday
that the managers of the Eastern rail-

rates will act in a manner different from
the policy pursued in 1910, when they at
tempted snap action on the eve Of federal
legislation At the hearings held then the
roads put subordnates on the witness
stand. They also asked for the maximum
rates, hoping for a compromise on the
part Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. The new rates. 1t is declared, will
be founded on a minimum basis.
Daniel Willard, president Of the Bal
timore & Ohio, said yesterday that
statement would be issued from his Office
to-day. He said that as the question
must be handled carefully the railroads
are proceeding with great caution.
Inquiries among officials of several
Western lines did not disclose any con-
certed movement to request an advance
In freight rates at this time. At the Mis-
souri, Pacific offices 1t was said that some
minor increases had been asked, but these
had been pending for some time, and
were not part of any new move by the
management.
