The following valuable information
is prepared by the department of ag-
riculture at Washington: "On a
farm producing and selling milk, a
contagious disease such as typhoid or
scarlet fever demands special pre-
cautions. A very few germs of these
diseases allowed to get into the milk
may multiply rapidly and be a
source of disease in many families
on the milk route served by the farm
er. In the case of typhoid, the dis
ease may come from germs in the
we'll water, and this water if used
unboiled for cleansing milk bottles or
cans may very well start a typhoid
epidemic in a neighboring town. In

A Dickinson resident tells you how.
w. Schwartz, Dickinson, N. D.,
says: "About a year ago I wrenched
my back and shortly after I began to
suffer from kidney complaint. My
back grew so weak that I was unable
to lift even the lightest weight. Often
sharp, piercing pains darted through
my kidneys and I suffered from a
constant dull, throbbing ache across
my back. After using various rem
edies without success, I at last had
the good fortune to hear about Doan's
Kidney Pills and got a box. I can
say that no other medicine yer gave
me so much relief. I continued TAX
ing them until the backache, languor
and other symptoms of the trouble
had disappeared"
NO TROUBLE SINCE
On February, 27, 1872, Mr..
Schwartz said: Since I used Doan's
Kidney Pills I have had no kidney
trouble. I gladly confirm my former
endorsement"

RANCH AND FARM

The Manning creamery, which has
been operating all summer and which
will likely continue through the
winter months, has a new butter
maker in Anton F~alkensten, recently
from the creamery at Glendale. He
learned his trade in Denmark and is
said to be frst-class.
VIM. Connolly returned last week
from Chicago, where he had been
with his shipment of cattle. He
struck a very good market, selling six
head of heavy weights for 1925 and
the remainder of his shipment of sc
head at $3.50. He had two heavy
steers, M weighing Ito. and the
other 1,7S0 pounds. This made
$164.65 for one steer, which is a fig
ure hard to beat. .
While attending the Stark county
fair Mrs. T. F. Roberts purchased
several prize chickens which were
taken to the Roberts ranch north of
Bowman. Heretofore Mrs. Roberts
has purchased her fancy stock from
chicken breeders of the east and has
had to pay stiff prices. She was very
much surprised that she could find
such high grade stock so near home,
and was more than pleased with her
purchase.

customers who had western cattle on
the Chicago market the past week,

Dourine, a transmissible disease
that is fatal to horses, has been found
prevalent in the northwestern part Of
the county in the Lodgepole district.
Deputy State Veterinarian Basinger,
acting under orders of the Federal
government, has been at work in that
territory for the past month or six
weeks. Under his direction owe 500
animals have been tested and up to
the present time about 60 have been
condemned. Chester Henderson loses
several valuable mares and a stallion,
as does also Louis Larsen, former
county commissioner. William
Archer and Tom Carlin will lose
every head of horses they owned and
many others have had several head
condemned. The outbreak of the
disease in this section is most unfor-
tunate as many of the farmers there
were getting together large punches
of horses and mares. The next ses-
sion of the legislature should pass
a law similar to the CHAMBERS law,
whereby the state could recompense
the owners for their loss. The Fed
eral Government has already prom
ised to pay one half on a valuation
basis of 500 per animal but expects
the state to pay the other half.-Lem-

The District Bill.

At not merely the eleventh hour, but
virtually the thirteenth hour, the Dis
trict bill has been passed by both houses.
the Senate having receded from its in
sistence on the Keller item, the House
from its insistence on section and the
two agreeing on compromise on the
Borland proposition. Thus by sort of
give and take the two houses have at
last got together and the local money
bill is framed. just as 1t might have
been framed six weeks ago. in plenty of
time for the opening of the new fiscal
year and without any disturbance of
District affairs.
For the Senates sacrifice of the Kel-
Ter item in order that the bill might be
passed at once there is general graft
tude. But there is more reason to be
grateful for its unyielding resistance of
the iniquitous section g which proposed
to turn back into the Treasury all ''sur-
plus" District tax revenues as miscel-
laneous federal receipts. The princi-
pie which animated the upper house in
its refusal to permit such direct vio-
iation Of the organic act would have
authorized an indefinite opposition to
the Borland amendment without compro-
mise.
As it is now written, the Borland
amendment puts one-half of the cost Of
street improvements upon the owners of
adjacent property-each side paying one
fourth of the whole-the other half being
met out Of the general fund contributed
equally by the District and the United
States. This ARRANGEMENT applies to all
streets up to the width of forty feet and
hot t. hA
borne by the general fund. In princi-
pie this is just as obnoxious as the
original Borland amendment. which laid
upon the adjacent property owner the
whole cost Of the improvement of
streets less than forty feet in width.
with q division of tho cost be-
yond forty feet similar to that
now proposed by the compromise
No part Of the cost should be borne d.
recty by the abutting property owner.
whatever may be the width of the street.
That cost should in every instance con-
tinue to be divided, in the future as in
the past, equally between the United
States and the District-that is to say.
paid by the capital municipality out of
its general funds. contributed equally
from local tax and federal money.
On the principle. however, that it is
better to be mulcted slightly than
greatly. the District must perforce ac-
cept this compromise with such grace as
1t can muster. Considering the true ma
ture of section 8, as an avowed attempt
to overrule the organic act by direct
means, its elimination from the bill is the
point Of chief public qualification, and for
that accomplishment the Senate is now
entitled to the warmest thanks of the Dis
trict people. In the light of this result
the delay of the bill. though not en-
tirely requisite, is to be regarded as
thoroughly justified.

ment from the Office Of District Commits

preme Court has declared he is ineligible
to occupy, Mr.. Newman is entirely with
in his legal rights. The case remains
matter for judicial determination, on an
appeal from the judgment of the District
Supreme Court to the District Court Of
Appeals. The fact that Mr.. Newman ac-
cepted the mandate of the appellate
court. without appealing then to the Su-
preme Court of the United States on the
ground that jury could not legally pass
upon a presidential appointment, may be
regarded in some sense as an acknowledge

to an agreement to abide by the verdict
However, the Commissioner now insists
upon his full technical rights Of appeal,
returns to the Court of Appeals for re-
view of the proceedings in the court below
and indicates his purpose to carry his case
to the United States Supreme Court.
In these circumstances the question of
REIMBURSEMENT of an Office which jury
has declared to be held ineligibly is ethi-
cal rather than legal. Mr.. Newman. hav-
ing pitched his case strictly upon legal
ground. maintains that position and dis
regards the ethical considerations which
in some minds operate to suggest a re-
tirement from Office which he has been
formally, by jury. pronounced disquali-
fled to occupy, after tacit acceptance IN
advance Of the findings Of that jury.
The question at stake in this affair Is
not to be confused by any sighting ref
erences to the so-called mass meeting at
which a demand for the immediate re-
tirement of the Commissioner was voiced.
1t matters not by what agency the de-
medium it was voiced. For If it was
known positively that it stood for the
opinion of nine-tenths of the adult popu-
lation of Washington there is no assur-
ance that it would have been needed. SO

sition that he holds his Office by presi-

so that a defnitive decision may be rem
dered by the highest available court on
the question of whether a presidential
appointment followed by senatorial con-
firmation must necessarily be valid re-
gardless of considerations of eligibility.
Far more essential is it to obtain a con-
elusive ruling on this point and also on
the point of what constitutes District
residence than that there should be an
immediate vacation of the Office which
the court has declared Mr.. Newman dis
qualified to occupy.

GEORGETOWN and the Bridge.

The Georgetown citizens at their meet
ing last night manifested a most reason
able attitude toward the matter of the
location of the new Potomac river bridge
The resolution adopted expresses ap-
proval of the construction of such a
bridge with the District terminus at a
point anywhere between Wisconsin ave-
nue. and 36th street. both inclusive. with
a preference for 3ith street, two blocks
east of the present location. BY thus alb
staining from any insistence upon a par
ticular site those comprising the meeting
who may be regarded as representative
of Georgetown, have avoided complicat-
Ing the matter in such a way as possibly
to prevent the enactment Of the bridge
legislation at the present session.
The urgent consideration in this matter
Is the replacement of the Aqueduct
bridge with a modern. safe, comrnodious
structure. 1t is believed to be possible
to locate such new bridge with greater
public convenience and less congestion at
the city terminal that at present, and
with a slight disturbance of property in
terests on the Georgetown side of the
river. Apparently there Is no present in
tenaon in any quarter TO press for the
construction of the so-caIled commercial
bridge at the foot of G or Fl street, a
possibility which greatly aroused the
Georgetown people and led to last night s
