RIGHT TO KILL DISEASED CATTLE

Owners of cattle in applying TO the courts in
Chicago for an injunction to restrain the federal
inspectors from carrying the order of Secretary
Huston To. kill S34 fine cattle infected with the
hoof and mouth disease at the Chicago Dairy Show
have taken decisive step in opposing the quaran-
tine precautions that being taken not only by
the federal but also by state governments, to pre-
serve the health Of beef and other animals This
<step indicates that the of beef may be plan
Hiag widespread protest against the killing OF
infected cattle
Doubtless those beef owners who are opposing
the necessary safeguards to the health of the ami
mails, which amount directly to safeguards to the
public health, will advance arguments which on the
face OF them will appeal to many persons as strong
ones why the animals should not be killed 1t is
likely they will appeal to the public pocketbook
point TO the fact that meat prices very high
that the European is likely to make them
higher and that the killing of great numbers of
cattle through quarantine precautions will reduce
by that much the available food supply and tend
10 force the cost of meats even higher
While arguments of that type may appeal with
force TO the food consumer who is struggling under
the high cost of living, the methods that the federal
ami state officials have been taking to suppress the
disease should meet with the approval of ali fair
minded citizens and such citizens should lend their
moral support to the public officials in this work
The killing of the diseased animals to prevent the
further spread OF the disease is the only effective
means of accomplishing the very necessary end at
which the authorities aim and 1t must 90 on regard
less of opposition of cattle owners
It is gratifying to the people of Pennsylvania
that the State Veterinarian Board is taking so ag
gressive stand to wipe out the cattle disease in
this state. That board should be sustained in the
work it is doing 1t is exceedingly unfortunate
that the plague among cattle should have appeared
at this time when scarcity or alleged scarcity of
meat is making the cost so high to consumers. but
the authorities only to be commended for adopt
ing the measures that they are adopting in this
and other states for suppressing disease the raw
ages of which ultimately would reduce the supply
Of meat to far greater extent than the killing of
diseased animals is doing.
1t may be remarked in passing that it is Just TO
he beef owners in Pennsylvania that the State re-
munerates them for all cattle killed

A WAR THAT SAVES LIVES

An army of medical men of the United States

There has been defeat in that warfare except for
the forces of disease desoaton and death. The

but in the 6mptying of Them not in the loss of
human life, but in the preservation of it. A worthy

It so loudly as to attract the attention
of everybody in the room. In fact we
knew the entire play before thev had
finished their public rehearsal. The star
was conveying to the staress his idea
of the stage business that should ac
company the dialogue and his gestures
were wild and emphatic, while his re-
marks were such as afforded amusement
to those who heard. Here is one of the
things that happened. Now said the

Hunter Shot, Slightly Injured

ing for rabbits in Gilberton, yesterday
morning, William Niedentohl, South
Grant street, was shot in the face and
slightly wounded. Fortunately, how.
ever. the shot did not penetrate deeply
Niedentohl was wearing a fur cap
and was going through some tall grass
that almost concealed his person.
Charles Kepner and Bert Shockey
were also in that locality and Shockey
seeing Niedentohl' s cap, which rcsem.
bled the skin of rabbit, took aim and
fired.
One shot penetrated Niedentohl s lip
another glanced off his right cheek bone
and few more made slight scalp

Professor Spooner, who runs the

a good-looking, good natured chap, and
he certainly does like to get results
when he starts after thing. On Sun
day afternoon, when the big audience
of men was crowded into the taber-

orchestra to render a very besutiful
hymn, which was given with vim that
was inspiring. Not particle of ap'

over the audience and said sarcastic

tance was that many altogether healthy persons
were spreading germs of the dreaded disease. 1t
has long been known that persons who have never
had typhoid fever and are in good health in every
respect, have carried the fever to other persons,
and the medical officers have now found that the
germs of cholera can be transmitted in the same
way by persons who in perfect health.
Great difficulty has been experienced in bringing
the carriers to light. Thorough examinations of
individuals have been made in the Philippines and

Make Good Examination.

In searching for trouble of any kind,
the motorist generally examines the
ACC of his valves. either inlet or ex-
haust. and II they are found to At
light and to be apparently in good
order his examination seldom goes
further. But It Is very possible that
the aus of tho trouble may be the
valve spindles and guides. or course,
every motorist realizes that tho mix
ture Is the all important matter as
regards the carburetor. The proper
tons Of vapor and air may easily be
upset, II from yea the valve stems
are reduced or the space between the
guides become enlarged, as a small
mount OF air at this point Is enough
to destroy. the proper proportions Of
the mixture. When this occurs the
action OF the throttle Is rendered I'M
even. One minute the engine speeds
up and the next 1t drags heavily. 1t
is advisable. therefore to give more
than a cursory glance at the valves,
when one is having trouble with the
accelerator.
