JOHN TRACY TAKING
IN The FRISCO FAIR

N. D. Building, Panama-Paclh(
Exposition, San Francisco, Aug. 49,
The past week has seen a number Of
prominent North Dakota men visit
ing the San Francisco Exposition. most
of them coming here to attend con
ventions of national character.
Banker John Tracy, of Valley City
is a prominent visitor in San Francis
co, and is highly pleased with every
thing he sees.
President John H. Worst, of the
North Dakota Agricultural College
and Thos. P Cooper, derector of the
experiment station at Fargo, are here
attending the sessions of the American
Association of Agricultural Colleges
and Experiment Stations, which is
holding it's annual convention at Berk.
eley. President Worst is first vice
president of the association, and pre-
sided on the evening of August 11th
while President Bryan of the associa'
ton delivered his annual address.
Prof. E. F. Ladd was here last
week attending national convention,
and delivered a strong address on
pure food laws in general. He made a
decided hit with the delegates.
Ex-Mayor M. F. Murphy, of Grand
.
Forks, is also taking in the exposition
but is here for the pleasure and pro
fit to be derived from critical in
spection of the numerous exhibits.
Supreme Court Judge A. M. Christ
ianson, of Bismarck, is also here, and
has been making his headquarters at
the North Dakota building, while
viewing the sights of the exposition
A number of North Dakota com
mercial clubs have signifed their in
tention Of sending vegetable exhibits
to the North Dakota building in the
very near future. Mr.. John Freybur
ger, who has charge of the exhibits in
the building, has everything in readl
ness to receive these exhibits. Each
one of them will go in separate boxes
and be labelled with the name of the
Commercial club sending them, so that
every section of the state will be rep
resented in the building, and the Wis
itors will know at glance that these
vegetables grow successfully in any
portion Of the state. This should have
a good effect and aid wonderfully in
putting forth North Dakota's claim
here at the exposition. The secretary
hopes that many more towns in the
state will cooperate in making the
vegetable exhibit comprehensive in ev
cry detail.

Using solicitor called upon the pnesi4
dent of large national bank and So
licited his business for the newspa-
per he represented. He was prompt
ly turned down" by the bank official,
with the curt statement that he (the
~president) did not like the newspaper
nor the management, and as long as
he was president Of the bank he would
not advertise in that paper.
"The solicitor left the bank crest
fallen, without making any argument
to secure the business, but acquainted
the publisher of the newspaper with
the facts of his inability to secure the
banks advertising.
"a few DAYS later the publisher of
the newspaper had occasion to meet
one of the young, enterprising direc-
tors of the bank. and Informed him it
was impossible to secure that banks
advertising, stating the reasons. This
director, who vas a keen observer and
had noticed the success and strength
of the newspaper, saw that a wrong
was made, especially where person
alities were being INDUCED in. He
Immediately went into conference
with several other influential direc-
tors of the bank, who saw the mistak-
en- attitude of the president, and as
they were looking out for the banks
welfare they insisted that the news
paper should receive a substantial
share of the banks advertising ap-
preparation"
The lesson that the Post drew from
the incident which it narrated is 1f
course obvious. Business men adver-
tise to get increased business and not
to crafty prejudice. If a newspaper
can produce the results the sensible
man will not be so unwise
as to stay out of its columns simply
because it's policy does not please
him. Business competition is too
keen for the head of a business to IN
gage in the pastime of cutting off his
nose to spite his face.
The Post sensibly adds: when peo-
pie realize that a newspaper is FREE
quently compelled to take its stand
on a broad question without regard
to the effect on it's advertising col
umns they will have taken a long step
toward helping their own business. A
newspapers management has no de-

Tuberculosis; A Plain Statement o.
Facts Regarding the Disease.

Tuberculosis is a widespread dis

are the most susceptible OF aIeanimals.

affected. 1T May not attract much
notice from .thesowper at first as the
disease is:slow to develop, but in a few
months the cows affected will show

Thesioss Ito the owner is evident
when a COW dies4ot the disease, or
when an apparently healthy COW IL

calves+in such a herd do not long re-

before they are many months old ana
are a source of loss instead OF gain.
The disease is most often found In
herds that are more or less closely
confined, however range cattle are
sometimes affected and the disease
spreads in spite of the o~pen-air life OF
the cattle.
T. B. is common among hogs. The
public abattoirs report that a serious
per centage of all hogs inspected is
found to be ~tuberculous. The aggre-
gate of these losses among cattle and
hogs is enormous.
Turning to the other aspect of the
case, the danger o~f-infection of human
beings with T. B. from cattle, we have
only to consider a few facts to realize
its vital Importance to every commun-
ity. Milk is the staple food of infants
and young children and is usually tax
in the raw state. If this milk Is

tain millions of living Z. B. germs.
Young children fed on such milk often

Meat from ~tuberculous cattle is o
likely to convey the infection. 1t
does no so frequently contain the
germs. cooking destroys a great many
that may be present and meat is not
consumed by very young children.
There is no symptom that can be re-
lied on with certainty to determine
when cattle have the disease, an in
complete list of the symptoms are aF
follows: Unthriftiness, loss of flesh,
enlarged glands, loss of appetite,

to determine when cattle have T. B.
