as t,Ibercular by the city. He stated that
one man recently lost % cows in this way
and secured out of them about Sl60, while
tbey had cost him over $1,000. He said
the COWS were killed for the protection of
the public and not for the benefit of the
dairymen, but that the dairymen had to
hear the loss Often these cows are bought
without knowing that they are diseased
and a day or two later they have to 1e

WOULD VACC|NATE
STORE EMPLOYEES
Cases of Smallpox Have
Been Taken From Street
Recently

Assistant City Health Officer 5. H.
Welch has issued suggestion to the
merchants of the city that they issue
orders to their employees to be vaccl-
mated as there has been some small
poX in the city.
The formal suggestion from the
health department is as follows;
due to that fact that recently eases
of smallpox have been taken from tho
street and the same cases have been
known to enter department stores thus
exposing employees directly and the gen
eral public indirectly This department..
knowing that successful vaccination
prevents smallpox, suggests that IL
would seem wise for those in author
ity to require vaccination of all en-
ployes, thus preventing the confusion
and business loss caused by cdses de-
veloping among employees from such
exposure.
"The department win be pleased TO
co operate in any way with efforts
made along this line.

ground of being tubercular, and the start
ling statement that many of these COWS
were sold to butchers and converted into
meat for the consumption of the general
public, was made to the city commits
sisners yesterday by Judge zel CASTOR.
Commissioner Weatherly was acting
president at the time and Mr.. CASTOR s
statement about the tubercular cows being
killed for food startled him. He leaned
forward with jerk
Judge CASTOR told him that if the COM
mission wished to start an investigation
there were plenty of the dairymen of the
city who could furnish some valuable in
formation. but added, however that this
matter was not what he had come before
the commission for.
Both Mr.. Weatherly and Commissioner
Lane interrupted the speaker with the
positive assertion that there would be such
an investigation in the near future, and
that part of the matter was dropped for
the time being.
Judge CASTOR stated that the dairymen's
request was that their license money be
set apart as sort of sinking fund to
reimburse them for the value of the COWS
they lost by the animals being condemned

There is one native son of the south
who glories in the fact that he is
southerner, and at the same time fears
that unless America builds half dozen
battIeships a year America will soon be
up to it's ears in strife.
This southerner is Maj. John NJ. Burke.
Major Burke is the forerunner of the
Buffalo Bill shows, and is commonly
known as the picturesque prince of po-
lite press agents He was born in Mary
land. and is as widely known on both
sides of the Atlantic as is his chief,
Colonel Cody.
II have always considered Oscar w.
Underwood of Alabama the coming states
man of the nation.i said Major Burke.
But he had made slip. He is in favor
of constructing but one battleship a
year"
The major then pictured several war
like scenes in such realistic manner that
one could almost smell the burning of
the powder, and could almost behold the
ubiauitous Jap landing on the golden
coast of California.

Inasmuch as Captain Kolb had prefaced
his remarks by declaring that pessimism
