In no case is the federal. government
to pay more to the owner than is paid
by the state, county or municipality.
No payment by the federal government
is to be more than $25 for any grade
animal or more than $50 for any pure
bred animal and no payment is to be
made unless the owner has complied
with all quarantine regulations.
This provision is expected to re

cattle owners that has hindered tuber'
culosis eradication work. Through IL
the federal government, the state.
county or municipal governments and
the owners of cattle will share I'm the
loss resulting from slaughternig in.
fected animals for the protection OF
other animals not infected.
Another important development ex
pected to hasten tuberculosis eradica
ton was the unanimous adoption by
breeders and live stock sanitarians OF
national reputation of regulations for
accrediting pure-bred herds of cattle
This action, taken last December,
marked the coordination of efforts OF
governments for the suppression of
tuberculosis in pure-bred animals.
On July /, the department issued it's
first list of herds officially accredited
as free from tuberculosis. The herds
numbered on that date approximately
240. The list also named herds that
had passed one successful test. They
must pass another annual test success
fully before being placed on the ac-
credited list.
The annual loss from tuberculosis
among cattle and hogs is reckoned at
$40,O00,0O0 In the United States. The
federal campaign to eradicate the dis
ease Is Of comparatively recent begin
ming. 1t has been divided into three
well-defined projects. The first project
Is the eradication of tuberculosis from
individual herds of pure-bred cattle !;
the second is the eradication Of cattle
tuberculosis from circumscribed areas !;
the third is the eradication of tubercu-
losis among swine.
1t Is estimated by officials in close
touch with available records that Is
per cent of pure-bred cattle In this
country are affected with tuberculosis.
In grade cattle and swine the percent
age of infection Is gradually increas-
ing, as shown by post-mortem records
in establishments where meat inspec-
ton is maintained. Infected animals
are not only dangerous to other ami
mails but may transmit the disease to
mankind through milk and flesh.

ROYAL PALACE LITTLE USED
Castle Of Nuremberg, in Germany,
Was, However, Always Kept in
READINGS for Occupancy.

Every large city in Germany has
palace or two. some more. Hanover
has four, Dresden has two, Stuttgart
has four, and so on. All of these were
occupied more or less permanently by
members of the reigning family. AS an
example of one not so occupied, but al
ways kept ready for occupancy, may
be mentioned the castle Of Nuremberg.
1t Is of the medieval type; thick
stone walls, towers, dungeons and all
the things that go to make up the cas-
tie Of ones imagination. 1t stands
upon hill which commands a view Of
the surrounding country-a necessity
In the times during which it was built.
Most of the interior is now mu-

especially the rooms containing the
instruments Of torture, some of which
were in use during the eighteenth CEN

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so com.
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such a
remedy to give it a trial. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

pay One-third of the difference between
the appraised value of the cattle and

animals, provided that the state, coun-
ty or municipality in which the cattle
are owned and kept is cooperating in
