WOMEN'S INTERESTS

Does it pay to be good?" walls
Mabel I'm honest with people and I
always do what seems the right thing.
I'm dignified and loyal. And all 1 get
for my pains is the proud privilege of
poking around at home when girls who
haven't half as high standards as 1

To a practical question like Does
it pay to be good?" there is only one
answer. "No-if you are looking for
definite returns on your investment.
Ees-if you have any ideals you wish
to cherish and any inherent sense of
what you owe yourself"
OF course, every once in a while
some woman who has broken all the
rules of society and morality marries
a millionaire and is exploited as ten
days wonder. And then dozens of
women find their convictions of moral
ity tottering at their foundations.

Immediately following the govern

three diseased cows intended for
slaughter, another group of fourteen

to Brooklyn, were taken from the
pens by the Bureau of Animal Indus
try officials stationed at Jersey City.

DR.. c. w. Humphrey in the presence
OF DR.. Alfred 5. Martins of the Bureau
or Animal Industry at Newark. n. j..
and DR.. J. c. Kingsland, a federal
veterinarian.
Seven of the fourteen animals were
found TO be so diseased that DR..
Martins marvelled over the fact that
they had not died before they could
be shipped from the dairy farm to the
slaughterhouse.
1T is a tragedy" he said. that
such COWS should be permitted to

Animals like these are being killed
every day in the uninspected estab-
lishments of Newark. l am power

graphing country shippers, who made

was arranged whereby the animals
would not pass through interstate

Instead of shipping over the Erie
and West Shore to Jersey City from

sullivan county, Ulster county and
thirty other New York counties that
supply New York City with tubercu-
lar animals, the diseased beasts were
transferred upstate on the other side
of the New Jersey line and were
fioated across the Hudson from New
burgh to Fishkill, thus avoiding in
terstate traffic.
The cows were then sent to the
West SiXtieth Street yards, New York
City, from which point they contin-
ued their journey to the Johnson ave-
nue. establishments in Brooklyn.
The worst feature of this rotten
business" admitted DIR. Robert NJ.
Mullings of the federal service. lies
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-12-22

in the fact that even though the
Brooklyn establishments should be
closed up there are so many hun
dreds of places scattered all over
New York State and other States
where old and diseased cows can be
slaughtered without interference by
the local authorities that they will
get into the food supply just the
same.
The only thing that can be done
under present conditions is to stop
, the procession of diseased meat to
Brooklyn and scatter it all over tie
State, thus taking such food out of
the mouths of one set of people and
handing it to another set.
"All nearby States ship to each
others cities and towns rejected dairy
cows. Although tuberculosis is wide
spread among these cows no COW ever
dies of the disease. The farmer does
not let her SO that far When he
realizes ttat she is going bad on his
hands he sends her to the butcher and
the disease never gets a chance to
finish its job.
Some of the cows which we have
seen killed lately could not have lived
sixty days. But the butcher got them
in time to recover q little more sal
wage from the beasts than the farmer
could get out of them if he fed them
to his hogs after they had died on
his farm"
The facts, together with the state
ments of DR.. Mullings. made Nov. 10,
1914, were published. They excited
little comment.
Nov. "a, forty-nine old bandboxes
(dying cows) were padded across
the Hudson from Newburgh to Fish
kill Landing and shipped to the West
SiNtieth street yards.
When they arrived in New York
City l notified the federal authorities
and undertook to trace the animals
to their last resting place. The fed
eral authorities informed me that the
cows had not passed through inter-
state commerce and it was purely a
State matter in which the United
States government had no concern.
Again | appealed to DIR. Goldwater
and again an investigation was in
stituted, the results of which only
further emphasized the pitiable farce
of New York States efforts to control
the sale of tubercular animals for
food purposes.
The conditions in New York in this
respect are exactly like those in all
other States. The Health Depart
ments investigation of the DISPOSE
ton of these forty-nine tubercular
cows resulted in the discovery that
tie animals had been divided into
two lots, twenty-one going to one
slaughterer and twenty EIGHT to an
other, after which all trace of them
was lost, as usual.

17-YEAR LOCUSTS SCHEDULED
TO COME NEXT SUMMER

c. H. Hadley, Jr., in charge of
entomology extension at the Penn
sylvania State College, calls attention
to the fact that brood eight of the
'Seventeen-year Locust" appeared in
Pennsylvania in 1900, and is due to
appear again in 1917. This is one of
the largest insect broods to occur in
this State. While locusts are usually
of Importance mainly because of the
popular interest aroused, il is quite
possible that considerable damage may
he caused in those places where tie
insects appear in unusual abundance.
The counties in which the locust

swarms of the 1917 brood are due to
occur. according to past records are
as follows: Armstrong, Beaver, But
Ter. Cambria, Clarion, Indiana, Law
renee, Mercer, Venango, and Wash
ington. Smaller, more or less scatter
ing swarms may be expected in Allie
gheny, Crawford. Fayette, Forest,
Huntingdon, Jefferson. Snyder, and
Westmoreland counties.
This brood also occurs in Ohio,
Maryland. Massachusetts. New Jer-
sey and West Virginia although much
less widely distributed within those
States than in Pennsylvania.
Tie State College authorities will
call attention to the insect more
specifically in future bulletins or
press notices.

to take. The thing that matters is
that girl who has the instincts of
fineness in her nature simply can
not root them up without tearing the
most vitan thing out of her life.
\ hard. cold. unprincipled man or
woman may break and defy the laws
of society and perhaps get away
with it'-temporarily.
But one has to pay for ones per-
ceptions. Any human being who has
within him or herself feeling that
certain things are fine and certain
ignoble must either live up to his own
vision of right or suffer tortures.
You can compromise with anything
in this world but your own nature.
That admits of no half measures.
To do things of which you are GO
ing to be ashamed, things which you
know will bring sorrow to those you
love. things for which the real penalty
lies in your own miserable sense of
not having lived up to the best in your
self is to twist and warp your life out
of all semblance of beauty.
In the final analysis. there is no
happiness where there is no peace of
mind. You can't disapprove of your
self and be contented.
There lies the real answer to the
question, Does ii pay to be good ?"
To the man or woman who has a
standard of what rs good. the price
he must pay for deviation from that
standard is eXtortionate.
You simply dare not do evil IL you
know good; for however the world
judges you, you will have to go about
with the acid of your own judgment
of yourself eating into and corroding
everything in your nature.
1t simply doesn't pay to be any
hing but good.
