free from the disease. This is
best done by the tuberculin test.
When carried out by a compet-
ent man, the test is extremely
accurate, and detects the dis
ease in a very early stage when
it can not be found out by any
other known means.
In human beings the disease
is spread from one person to
another through coughing,
sneezing and splitting. 1t is,
therefore, of the utmost impor-
lance that persons suffering
from consumption should cover
the mouth OF nose always when
they cough or sneeze. This is
best done by a paper handker-
chief, which can be put into a
bag and burned. Excellent and
cheap paper cuts are made for
this purpose. The educated and
careful c%onsumptive is not a
danger to those around him, but
where care is not taken, the dis
ease is spread from one person
to another in the household.

TUBERCULOSIS is MOST
WIDESPREAD DISEASE
Has Many FOrms-COnsumptiOn
Whose Germs Are in Spit
tie Most Common.

tuberculosis is the most wide
spread of all dangerous diseases.
Every year it causes upward of
200, 900 deaths in the United
States. The most common
form Of tuberculosis is in the
lung, where it is known under
the name of consumption.
tuberculosis may AFFECT any
part Of the body, according to
DR.. M. P. Ravenel of the depart
ment of preventative medicine
of the University of Missouri.
1t produces meningitis in child
rem which is invariably fatal
hip joint disease, and curvature
of the spine. The so-called
hunch-back is almost always tu-
berculoSis of the spinal column.
The affection which we used to
call ~scrofula, manifested by en-
larged glands about the angle Of
the jaw, is also tuberculosis.
Consumption is not only the
most common form of the dis
ease but is also the form which
is most contagious. In it the
lung breaks down into assesses.
These assesses open into the
nearest bronchial tube, and the
germs are thrown out in the
spit which the patient raises.
Every twenty-four hours a well
advanced case of consumption
throws out in the spit about
three billion consumption germs.
This is the reason why health
officers are so seriously fighting
the splitting habit. Splitting is
not only a dirty habit, but a dan
gerous one.
tuberculosis is common in
mich cattle, and it has been
thoroughly proven hat many
children are infected by drink
ing the milk from diseased
cows. For this reason, it is i'm
portant that all COWS giving
milk for human use should be

THE DONKEY LOADED
DOWN
Democratic Animal at Jefferson
City Has Backbreaking
Burden.

1t is not to be expected that
the Legislature will pay muct at
tention to overlooking the pay
rolls in jackson county and Kan
sas City when it is guilty of the
same thing at Jefferson City.
The Missouri General Assem-
bly, has started the 1917 session
with 356 clerks, attendants,
pages and other employees on
its list. In this list are found
the names of wives and rela-
tives of members. The st. Louis
Globe Democrat correspondent
has made a compilation and
printed the following Tuesday
morning:
mine Missouri senator's have
their wives on the pay roll Of
the General Assembly as clerks
or stenographers at $3.50 a day.
The total number of Senate
clerks and employees, as made
public today, is 1873. To this
must be added ten pages, the
force of the secretary and, in adj
dition, several more will be adj
ded to the pay roll this week.
When completed it is estimated
the Senate employees will total
about 24O.
"The senator's whose wives
are on the pay roll are: Senators
]. E. Ford, George w. Click, j.
w. Mcknight, Won Mayes, Dav-
id W. Stark, Frank Warner,
Marc Anthony McGruder, Mich
ael W. Casey and Wallace W..
Greene"
The House and Senate clerical
pay roll will amount to approx
mately $1,000 a day.
The State is facing a deficit
said to be 100000 and the
Governor is making strenuous
efforts to have laws passed to
provide the revenues to wipe out
the deficit and give the state the
money to operate on a cash
basis.
This is democratic work. By
that we mean the work of the
democratic members. No, not
quite right yet. 1t is the work
of members elected as demo-
Gratis and puts the burden on
the party.
The members of the legisla-
ture have Just one excuse for
putting wives and other mem
bers of their families on the
pay roll. They say the state
does not pay the representatives
enough to pay expenses while
at Jefferson City, and
this is true,-Jackson Examiner.

Quayle. Military training would
be part of their routine.
1.-Two million men between
the ages of II and 81 have
absolutely no visible means
of support and are loafers
and leeches on society. They
are physically unfit because
OF their self-indulgence and
vicious habits which could be
regulated under my plan.
MY plan Is the appointment
of a commission by the govern
ment, which should organize a
raining camp in every state with
suitable hospital facilities to re-
claim rejected men. Each camp
should be supervised by military
officers who would carry out the
recommendations of the medical
men,"
DR.. Quayle has already volun-
teered his services and has been
joined by other prominent ply
sicians throughout the country.
His plan has been heartily ap-
proved by military officers who
see in 1t a way to make the army
of the United States the largest

ARGENTINE

ULTIMATUM

BUENOS AIRES. July 5.-Ar-
gentine has served an ultimatum
on Germany.
From reliable sources, 1t was
learned today that a note just dis
patched to Germany virtually as
serts that unless Germany makes
immediate naturalization for past
destruction of Argentine ships and
grants assurance against future at
tacks, Argentine will break rela-
tions.
For two weeks Argentine has
been approaching the point where
she was ready to break relations
with Germany. The crux of the
situation lies in the case of the
Argentine steamship Protegido
The vessel was torpedoed without
warning and several Argentine cit
liens lost their lives. Germany
admitted the sinking, condoned 1t
and offered reparation after an in
terchange of notes.
Then. after offering reparation,
Berlin apparently forgot all about
it. Sometime ago Argentine sent
a reminder" but still there was
no response.

Enthusiastically approve his plan. 1t
Is left to congress to pass upon 1t.
According to DR.. Quayle, 1t
would cost 500 to reclaim each
