TUbERCUL 0SIS IS
 FOUND ON THIRD OF STATE CATTLE
Cattle Commission Con- demned 414 During Two
 Years.

Cattle Commissioner Jeffrey O. Phelps states in his report, for the two years ending September 30, 1916,. that 30 per cent. of the tuberculosis. Du- ring the two years, 414 were con- demned. There were 100 of the num- Der in Hartford county. The com missioner received in the two years 4S7 calls to examine cattle and the calls came from 182 towns. There were 2,2O7 cattle examined. The av- craze price paid in 1915 for cattle condemned was $14.92 per head, and in 1916, $17.s1.
 Commissioner Phelps says that in the two years the number of cattle imported into the state for dairy pur- poses was 6,2O7. For slaughter there were imported in the year 1915. 1,557, and 8,SS9 in 1916. The difference is explained by the fact that in 1915 there was a quarantine against the importation of cattle owing to the prevalence of the foot and mouth dis ease.
 The operation of the law passed at the last session of the general assem- bly,, which authorizes the application of the tuberculin tests to herds on the request of the owner, has cost the state $9,114.89. The commissioner or his deputy, and veterinarians visit ed sixteen herds and tested 476 anil malls. Of this number 142 were con- demned, .eighty-six being graded stock and ffty-six pure bred.
 The commissioner recommends leg islation which will cure the official in- oq hoo1fh off. cials at the time of slaughter and af- rewards. He says the state should not be required to pay for an animal which, owing to it's diseased condi- ton, was not fit for food and which had no value but the price of it's hide and what it would bring for rem dering purposes. He says the ex- pense of the inspection should be met by the towns.
 The state spent s37.24O.6o to stamp out the foot and mouth. disease which prevailed for months in 1915 and la ter. There were 733 cattle and 143 swine destroyed, they having been found to be suffering from the dis ease. The owners of the animals re- ceived $24,183.05 from the state and a similar sum from the federal au- thorities. The expenses of examina- ton amounted to $7,255.3e.
 In the anthrax outbreak, which was first discovered July 22, 1916, nine animals died before treatment and two after treatment.
 During the two years there were 389 horses in the state killed on ac- count of glanders. In the two years there were imported into this state 1O,299 horses.

Baron withdrew from society and es- tablished himself on his wild domain in New York state, living in little log cabin north of Utica. On his death, he bequeathed1 a tenth of his estate to his aides, North, Popham and Walker-and his servants, and distributed the remainder among his tenants. His remains were wrapped in his cloak, placed in 8 plain coffin. and buried in the village of Steuben, where a monument was erected in 1926.
 Gen. Washington highly appreciat- ed Steuben's services, as evidenced by a letter he addressed to the Baron in 17S3.
 Although have taken frequent op- portunities, in public and private" wrote Washington, "of acknow1edg- ing your great zeal, attention, and abilities in performing the duties of your office, yet I wish to make use of this last moment of my public life to signify in the strongest terms my entire appreciation of your conduct, and to express my sense of the oblig- ations the public is under to you for faithful and meritoriol1s services. l beg you will be convinced, my dear sir, that I should rejoice if it could ever be in my power to serve you more essentially than by expressions of regard and affection; but in the meantime I am persuaded you will not be displeased with this farewell token of my sincere friendship and esteem for you"

Brooklyn Manager
 Would Be Foolish to
 Let Cutshaw Go Away

1t does not seem possible that Man ager Robinson made the statement that a new man was needed by the Dodgers at second. base, writes Len Wooster in the Brooklyn Times. George Cutshaw is not the greatest second baseman extant. Buck Her zog for one is his superior both as a player and for generalship, but over looking his worth as pepper box. Jack Barry. and Eddie Collins lay over him, too. But Cutshaw is a key stoner of no mean ability.
 He covers much ground and is a willing and hard worker. Usually he is reliable. Being human he slips up on plays occasionally. In the worlds series he had several lapses. These were attrituable to nervousness. the result of the importance of the issue.

The steamer G1enogle was held up at Annoy on Nov. 21 by the Chinese auth critics as she was about to sail for Mesopotamia with a number of Chinese laborers. Germans in Annoy objected to the departure of the ves- sel on the ground that it was a breach of Chinese neutrality.
 The contracts with the iaborefs were also questioned and it was as- serted that the ships voyage violated the treaty between England and China. ......

Here is a Union story that has stood

point which will come straight home
to many of us.
John Petty, 76 w. Main St., Union,
says: "Weak kidneys caused pains
though the small of my back and they
were so severe at times that
couldn't sleep. My kidneys acted ir-
regular in passage. I used different
medicine, but didn't get permanent
benefit until 1 took Doan's Kidney
Pills." Statement given February

For over eight years Mr.. U. S. c.
Henry, 806 East 9th St., Oklahoma
City, had suffered with stomach and
liver trouble until finally he could no
longer stand the pain. He says:
"The doctors told me nothing but an

Traxo, which relieved me of a quantity

Fruitola, as the name implies, is a
pure fruit oil, combined with certain
harmless salts, and acts as a lubri-
cant on the intestinal parts, softening
the congested masses, disintegrating
the hardened particles that cause so
much suffering and expelling the ac-
emulation to the patients great re-
lief. Traxo acts on the liver and kid
neys, stimulates the flow of gastric
juices to aid digestion and removes
bile from the general circulation. It'll
is splendid tonic and serves to
build up and restore the weakened
rundown system.

King George, who has made
gift of $500,OO0 to the treasury for
war purposes, is by no means the
richest of European monarchs, for
though he receives close to $780,
600 per year, three quarters of that
sum has to be set aside for official ex-
penses, says The Springfield Repub-
lican. The King of Italy receives
$3,750,000, the Emperor of Germa-
ny $4,60O,O00 and the Emperor of
Austria $5,25O,0O0 from the state
and the two latter, like the Car of

KAISER'S LINES
ARE GIVING WAY
British Drive Wedge Further
Into German Army, Slavs
Force Them Across Lipa.
STRIKE AT H1NDENBuRG

London, July l8.-The successes Of
the entente allies are following each
other with great rapidity. Today
brought news Of further important
gains for them on both the western
and eastern fronts, arousing enthu-
siasm among the British public hardly
less than that caused by the reception
of the first news of the allied often
sive. .s.
The dispatch of General Sir Doug
las Haig today shows that the steady
pressure of the British arms is forcing
an ever deepening salient into the
German lines, and the commander in
chief for the first time produces evil
dence in the shape of documents cap
tured from the Germans giving testi-
mony as to the high price the Ger
mans are paying in casualties.
The British have improved their po-
sition along almost the whole OF their
line Of the battle front, capturing by
assault 1900 yards of the German sec
ond line positions north of the Ba-
zentin-Le-Petit wood, a strong Ger
man position from the water to the
farm between Longueval and GULL
mont, besides completing the capture
Of the whole OF the village of Or
villers Ia Boisselle. These gains bring
the British almost to the crest of the
Albert plateau. where stretches the
German third line.
The news from the eastern front
today was equally important. The
Russian commander, General Kuro-
patkin, has launched an offensive
against Field Marshal Won linden
burg on the Dvina river, and General
Won Linsingen's troops, southwest OF
Lutsk, have been compelled to retire
behind the Lipa river, while in the
course Of Sundays fighting in Vol
hynia the Russians captured an add
tional $4,000 prisoners and thirty guns.
