FINE HOLSTEINS KILLED
ACCOUNT OF TUBERCULOSIS

A self-invited inspection of his herd
of Holsteins cost Louis A. Spies of
30O7 Hawthorne boulevard, st. Louis,
between $1,000 and $4,000. Spies,
who is president of the St. Louis I'm
ion Dairy Co., is member of the Ma
tional Holstein Association, and his
cattle at the Gala Lily farm at St.
Jacob, ILL.,, have been ordered decim-
ated by the State authorities.
In accordance with his custom of
keeping the stock in the best of con-
dition Spies last week asked for q
State inspection. Assistant State
Veterinarian d. L. Travis of Vandalia
was sent to make the test. He ex-
amined the "a animals in the herd and
pronouPced 81 of them tubercular.
All but IS of these were ordered
killed at once, and the remainder were
put under observation on the A. Lock
mar farm, four miles south Of st. ia
cob, where they will be kept in strict
quarantine until their future condi-
ton may be accurately determined.
The head of the Spies herd, prize
bull valued at more than $1,000, fig
ured last summer in a national con-
troversy on a question of registry, in
which, after hearing occupying sew
eral weeks, Spies contention as to
the animal was upheld by the courts.
This was one of the 38 animals or
dered killed.

RAISE FOR EVERY EMPLOYE

All employees of the st. Louis Car
Company, including department heads
and day laborers, will receive gen.
eral advance in salary after Janu-
airy l, it was announced at banquet
given last night at the Warwick Ho-
tel to department heads.
The host was Edwin B. Meissner,
vice president and general manager
of the company, who made the an
nouncement. Optimism was the key
note of Mr.. Meissner's address on the
prospects for business next year.
He said the company has large or
ders to fill, is running the plant at
Baden at capacity and expects still
greater business with the new year.
The 40 guests included Sears Leh-
mann, counsel for the company, and
DR.. George Chopin, head of the medi-
cal staff.
Mr.. Meissner explained that the
plan for the increase in pay would be
worked out shortly after January 1.

SALARIES CUT ARE RESTORED

Because of the improved business
conditions, the j. Kennard & Sons
Carpet Company, Fourth street and
Washington Avenue, st. Louis, an
nounced yesterday that salaries of
employees that were reduced because
of adverse times last year, have been
restored.
The salaries of 300 employees were
cut 10 per cent last July. Restora-
tion to the former figures was ordered
just before the end of the year.
The Kennard announcement closely
followed that of the Lewis ukoski
Mercantile Company, 1113-23 Wash
ington avenue, which, last week, or
dered payment of $4,000 in back
wages to employees whose salaries
were reduced in January, 1914.
The reduction was made, it was
said, as precautionary measure be-
cause of the poor outlook for BUSH
ness.

SUNLIGHT BEST GERMICIOE

Exhaustive experiments with tu-
berculosis bacilli have proven conclu-
sively that even the most virulent
mass of the germs will be killed by
exposure to strong sunlight. AS most
varities of disease germs are more
easily destroyed by germicides than
tubercle bacilli, the potency of the
sun as a germicide seems to be es-
tablished beyond dispute. The ex-
periments described below were car
ried out by federal Investigators:
A pasty, creamy mass of tubercu-
slous material, which was proved to
contain uncountable numbers of vi
rulent tubercle bacilli, was obtained
from a tuberculous COW and spread in
thin, smooth translucent layers on
sheets of glass, pieces of wood, and
strips of muslin. Some of the sheets
of glass, pieces of wood and strips of
muslin were then placed out doors on
a moderately warm, clear, calm day
where the sun could shine on them,
and an equal number were placed in
dark room.
After fifteen minutes exposure to
the sun, the tuberculosis material on
the glass, wood and muslin still con-
tanned large numbers of living, viru-
lent tubercle bacilli, which were
proved to be fully capable of causing
tuberculosis, but after thirty minutes
exposure to the sun no living tubercle
bacilli cound be found; every test that
could be made proved that they were
all dead.
Similar tests with quite large
opaque masses of tuberculous mater
ial, larger and denser than any tu-
berculous person is apt to expectorate,
proved that the bacilli in such masses
on glass are till alive after four, but
entirely dead after eight hours, and
still alive in the material on wood
and muslin after eight, but dead in
less than sixteen hours.
The tuberculous material in thin
layers on glass, wood and muslin, kept
in a dark room, was proved to contain
fully virulent living tubercle bacilli
after thirty days. The contrast is
remarkable, tubercle bacilli OF the

Mr.. Fairbanks and the Presidency.

Indiana Republican leaders don't
seem to rally to the New York Suns
distress cry, that Col. Roosevelt is
the only Republican-Standpat or
Progressive-in the country who can
do anything to President Wilson. At
love feast in Indianapolis last Fri
day the leading Republicans of the
Hoosier State Endorsed former Vice
President Fairbanks as Indiana
choice for their party's nomination
for President. And that gentleman
fielicitated them upon their wisdom
with a happy "Barkis is willin' "
speech. He told his enthusiastic adj
mirers that "the people have tried
Democracy-and Democracy has tried
them," after which witty bon mot he
went on to tell them that "the result
has been reunited, baptized party of
opposition, that there is no divided
Republicanism-they are reunited as
of old"
His optimism is certainly refresh
ing, for he then went on to outline
a platform on good old standpat lines,
from which it is to be inferred that
he has inside information that the
Oyster Bay Colonel and the sizable
clan that went wild over him in 1912
have tamely accepted the Standpat
offer to take them in again if they
would be good and stand hitched.
He also proposed that 1--WE main

but failed to say wherein Mr.. Wilson
has fallen short either in justice or
firmness in his clear-cut demands of
Germany, Austria and England for
neutral rights, and especially those

Also, he declares that 1--WE must

Clark win Not Oppose Wilson

1t seems that some of the meddle-
some or sensation seeking papers
can't let Speaker Clark rest. For
awhile in this state there was a clamor
in certain quarters that he declare
himself a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor in or
der to allay or overcome an alleged
prejudice or unpopularity of the
present State Administration, which
it was declared was disintegrating
and weakening the party, thus threat
ening its defeat in this State, and
which could only be averted by the
prestige of some such man as Mr..
Clark at the head of the State ticket.
This clamor may have been the out
burst of a timid alarm, and again it
may have been mischief desire to
create trouble in the party. Mr..
Clark gave it no encouragement and

The sinking of passenger ships
with American citizens on board by
German and Austrian submarines
has kept the United States tense in
protesting against such inhuman
warfare. The President, through
Secretary Lansing, had. just recently
called Austria to task for the sinking
of the Italian steamship Ancona in
which the lives of number of Amer
lean citizens were lost, and the strain
ed relations with that nation had not
yet been adjusted, when here come
other outrages of the same character
The sinking without any warning of
the Persia with loss of 245 lives,
among them United States Consul,
Robert N. McNeeley, and this fol-
lowed Immediately by the sinking of
two other British ships with heavy
loss of life. The Central Powers
submarines show no regard for the
lives on non-combatants. Political
leaders at Washington are impressed
with the conviction that the situation
is the most CRITICAL that has ever con-
fronted this nation.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1916-01-07

Col. Roosevelt has written to the
Secretary of State of Michigan re-
questing him to see to it that his
name is not placed on the ballot of
any party, Republican or Progressive,
in the primary of that State as a
candidate for President. The Sec
rotary had written him that his adj
herents in both factions of the Repub-
lican party had filed a sufficient num-
Der of names to place his name on the
ticket. a-
1t appears to be likely that the
Jackson Day banquet, to be held at
the Planters Hotel in st. Louis next
Saturday evening, will resolve itself
into something of free-for-all to
slide into the next Democratic State
campaign, especially as regards the
gubernatorial primary. Friends of
other prospective candidates are apt
to become enthused with the needs of
the hour, and throw the hats of their
favorites into the ring, making it a
regular political sangfest.

icy. But as he is disposed to leave
the impression that there is some
inadequacy in the Administrators
defense measure and doesn't intimate
wherein he differs with it, are we to
presume that he favors the Colonel's
jingoism of turning the whole coun-
try into a military camp and cover
ing the high seas with navy so
formidable that it can blow all the
ships of Germany, France, England
and the rest of the world clear out
of the water at one discharge of its
mighty guns?

so long, one wonders why such belli-
cose statesmen of that party begin
to talk of making adequate prepa-
ration on land and sea for a national

give a big roll of the peoples money

as the eternal hills and have been tried

ing out an alleged proposed coalition
between Speaker Clark and former
Secretary of State Bryan to try to
elbow President Wilson out of sec
ond nomination in the interest Of Mr..
Clark, and trying to create the inn
preston that there is an apprecia-
BILE opposition in the party to sec
ond term for Mr.. Wilson. Of course
there is no tangible ground for the
story. In the first place, coalition
of the sort named is absurd on its
face. When, in the Baltimore Con-
vention, Mr.. Clark had received ma
jority of the votes of the delegates
for the nomination in 1912-which,
according to all presidents, with per-
haps a single exception, should have
resulted in a formal unanimous NOM
ination--it was Mr.. Bryan who made
a spectacular fight against him I'M
der the two-thirds rule and succeeded
in nominating Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Clark did not blame Mr.. VIII
son for this unusual turn in politics,
for he was not on the ground, but it
is well known that the relations be-
tween Mr.. Clark and Mrs. Bryan
have been since then a little more
than strained. Besides, these two
leaders are not in harmony on some
very important public issues-that
of preparedness for one, Mr.. Clark
having announced his intention to sup
port Mr.. Wilson on this issue. These
facts alone are sufficient to place the
brand of absurdity on any story of a
coalition between Mr.. Clark and Mr..
Bryan.
Then Mr.. Clark announced his po-
sition some months ago on his atti-
tude regarding the nomination for
1916, to the effect that if Mr.. Will
sons Administration were success
he should be re-nominated, and if it
were not success the nomination
wouldn't be worth having. Mr..
Clark recognizes the fact that Mr..
Wilson's Administration has been a
success and has met with popular ap-
proval. But to put quietus on the
whole matter he has just recently en-
phatically denied the coalition story
and placed himself definitely and
finally on record in favor of giving
Mr.. Wilson a second nomination.
There is no foreseen contingency
that can deprive Mr.. Wilson of re-
nomination for a second term, and
we don't believe that any triffiing OPP
position against him that may exist
in the Democratic party or out of it
can materialize into a respectable
consideration. He has made good I'M
der one of the most trying situations
that any President has been called
upon to meet, and the great mass of
the American people are with him.
Not only will he be nominated for
second term at the st. Louis conven-
ton in June, but we feel confident
that he will be triumphantly elected
over any man the Republicans
Standpat or Progressive-may be
able to put up against him.
