Barre has the distinction OF being
the only town or city in Vermont (and
Dr. y. Z. Wight, assistant chief of the
tuberculosis eradication division Of
Washington thinks the United States)
TO receive its milk supply from tubcy
culosisf free cattle. Every herd of cows
furnishing milk for that city is now
IN accredited herd. This result was
brought about by the passage OF a
city ordinance requiring the testing of
all cattle supplying milk and the CO
operation of the city government with
the state and federal authorities in Sc
curing the test.
It is interesting to note that 2l6
herds Of cattle were tested. Tho test
! ing was done in very short time as
the city furnished quarters for the
cattle and had the owners drive them
to three ccnters where the testing was
| done on as large scale as possible,
There were 2.l07 head of cattle in the
| 2l6 herds tested and of these 379 re-
actors were found. This percentage Of
diseased cattle was 17.9, or little
more than one-sixth.
| There is no reason to expect the con.
ditiops around Barre were any worse
than around the other large milk con,
Stunning centers Of The state. For in.
stance Brattleboro does not know
whether one COW in six or one in three
of the cattle from which the milk i
sold in this village is diseased. 1t is
not very comfortable TO feel that il Is
possible the whole milk supply of tho
village is infected by tuberculous cat
tie.
There is no state law requiring milk
dealers to supply milk from tubcrcu
losis-frce cattle only, but why
shouldn't there be? Is there any reas
on why q milk dealer should be allowed
to spread fatal disease among hi
customers? Barre has set an example
that every village and city having TIL
power TO pass an ordinance rcquirin,
milk from healthy cows only shoulC
follow, and the state itself should pas
a state law on the subject as soon a
it is possible. 1t has been unquestion
| ably demonstrated that milk infecte,

MAY oVERDo IT.

Sheriff Peters of Chicago announces
that he will have a second execution
before the prisoners in the state prison
this week. He is clinging to his idea
that witnessing the enforcement of the
law may have good moral effect upon
the hardened criminals held in confne-
ment. That may be true TO limited
extent but the riotous hilariousness az
last week = execution was hardly a
demonstration of respect for the law.
Too much exhibition of executions
may also cloy the prisoners and make
them Indifferent to its effect. Famil-
iarity is liable TO breed as much con
tempt in the gruesome as other
matters. There certainly is danger OF
OVERRIDING this psychological expert
ment and it will not be surprising ii

State of Vermont officials propose to
require that manufacturing bakers Ia
bel their loaves of bread with the ex-

of bread which, according to their
weight, might have been worth a good
teol of money but wcreD t on account
of their density However, the idea of
labelling the weight of loaves of Dread
comments itself providing there Is

Fraudulent Schemes.
(Barre Times.

States Attorney L. w Gibson Of
Windham county has issued warning
to the people of his county against a
fraudulent scheme which has been
worked in his county; and inasmuch
as there is likelihood that the same
scheme may be tried in other parts of
Vermont it is timely advice to ask
people, particularly the farmers, to look
out for the perpetrators. The plan OF
the perpetrators Is to have Il respon-
sible looking person enter town, es-
tabllsh q bank account as a basis for
credit, make purchases from manv
farmers, draw checks for payment and
then, before the checks can be pre-
sentcd at the bank. draw out the de
post and depart, having in the mean
time shipped the goods purchased to
some distant point 1t is said that
farmers in the vicinity of Bellows
Falls have been victimizcd to the ex.
tent of $4,000 through such scheme
and the perpetrators have escaped the
arm OF the law thus far Perhaps they
may not try the scheme in Vermont
again for time, but the public should
be on guard against them at any rate

high costs and depreciation of the dol

wages and the cost of living are at
