disagreed, were begun by the district

that in due time he would move for

TUBERCULOSIS IN
COWS ALARMING;
PROBE ORDERED
State Health Board Calls on
Jersey Veterinarians to Give
Menace Their Attention.
From a STAFF Correspondent.


TRENTON, Jan. l0.-The State
Board of Health has discovered that
the milk herds of New Jersey contain
an alarming percentage of cattle in
fected with tuberculosis, but passed
by veterinarians of the State as
healthful. That the department con-
siders the situation a serious menace
to the health of every milk consumer,
and especially to infants, is shown by
the fact that it has called on the New
Jersey State Veterinary Medical As
sociation to go into the matter thor
oughly at the association meeting
here this Thursday.
The trouble has arisen either from a
lack of clear definition of the duties OF
the veterinarians of the state, or
from failure by the veterinarians to
thoroughly appreciate the extent to
which the State health authorities eX-
pect them to go in their assistance ~
the fight against impure milk and its
dangers to the public.
State health officials have discussed
the situation with Dr. w. +. Harrison,
of Bloomfield, president of the veteri-
nary association, and have been
promised his utmost cooperation.
The chief business of the meeting
Thursday will be to explain to the
members just what the State expects
of them.
Want Every Cow Examined.
To eliminate danger of tubercular
milk being retailed the state depart
ment has required that every COW be
examined by a veterinarian and GER
tificate of it's physical condition be
made out by him for the informa-
tion of the municipal. board of health
having jurisdiction in that vicinity.
The veterinarian is expected TO pass

The inventor and his wife arrived
at the fire ten minutes after the
alarm was turned in. Mr.. Edison had
been working late in the library of

to confine the blaze to the building in
which it started.
The inflammable contents burned
fiercely and the blaze could be seen
for miles around. OF the twenty five
men at work in the building all
escaped uninjured.

The greater part of this force. it is

the Garden of Eden.
With them will go several thousand
heavy guns and field pieces of all

from Sedd-Ul-Bahr and Sulva Bay
Less than 10000 men. it is estimated

Dardanelles forts for the remainder

be made of the Anglo Frencn forces

There is considerable speculation
however, as to the possibilities both

is noted. the 1917 automobile and mo

This was the announcement emanat-

This year the state tags are cop
per-colored. This is an obvious hut
not too ostentatious and well under

iona its greatest prominence, for this

Now. California decked out its 1916

health-seekers and real estate suckers
knows, the bull would be better than
the bear for California license plates
But that's another mattr.
