New Lights on Bovine Tuberculosis.

Recent federal investigations of tuber-
culosis under normal farm conditions
continue to incriminate rodents, espe
cially mice, as possible spreaders of the
disease Following are briefly the re-.
suits of last years studies on tuberculo-
sis by experts of the bureau of animal
industry. Thorough cleaning of stables
from which tuberculous animals have
been removed has been shown to be of
greater Importance in making buildings
safe for healthy animals than the use
Of chemical germicides,. When the clean
ing is properly and thoroughly done the
quantity of disiufectant needed is rela-
lively small. Mice which have ingestcd
tuberculous materials are especially to
be suspected as possible spreaders of the
disease, as tubercle baciIi multiply enor-
in their bodies and are scattered
freely with their feces. Results obtained
again emphasize that this destructive
disease would decline materially if rela-
lively simple precautions against its
spread were more commonly understood
and practiced by owners Of livestock.
Among the principal measures urged by
the bureau are sunny, well-ventiated
barns, sanitary surroundings, application
of the tubercuin test TO all cattle when
the health of the herd is doubtful,
prompt removal of any animals which
are affected, and the introduction into
the herd of only such animals as are
known 10 be free from the disease.

ceived a distinction at the hands of the
royal family which is the senior descend
ant of Mohammed.
Before the war Colonel Lawrence was
a student Of history at Oxford. As he
was able to speak two Arabian dialects,
he was sent by the war Office in 1914 to
do intelligence work in Egypt Later he
was assigned to aid in the negotiations

the question is, do they live up to them
when they go out? I think you will
find that they do not. We girls have

fine when it comes to their sisters, but
when it's some one else's sister-oh,
that's different! You asked the men
to answer if they lived up to this stand :
ard, but as yet I have not seen any
answers from them. Our ''ideal'' fellow
is one who lives up to those rules given
to us by the regular fellows.
