ARE YOU CTRI0TS2
We are frequently asked:

l. Are drafts harmful to health?
Answers Drafts, by chilling the
body and thus lowering the vitality
may cause person to be in condition
to ''catch cod" or takG some other
disease which he might otherwise
have had the resistance to fight off
From the draught itself, providing the
germs of disease are absent, it is ex-
tremely unlikely that one will catch"
anything more than a stiff neck. How
ever, as germs are likely to be pres
ent, though unknown, at almost any
moment II is advisable to avoid any
drafts which cause discomfort
2. Perhaps our most common
question isis tuberculosis inher
tied? ?"
Answer NO. Authorities now
agree that tuberculosis it not inher
tied. The fact that children of tuber-
culous parents frequently also have
tuberculosis is due to the susceptl-
bility of children to this disease. 1t
is caught from the parent; not in
herited.7 Frequently, the symptoms
of active tuberculosis do not become
evident until years after the infec-
ton has apparently occurred. Hence,
person who has been infected by a
tuDerculous parent in childhood may
not show signs of the disease until
years later in adult life, even after
a long separation from the parent
from whom the disease was contract
ed.
3. What is the "Wasserman Test?"
Answer: The Wasserman Test is
test of the blood to determine
whether or not syphlitic infection is
active in the system at the time of
the test.

TUBERCULOSIS INDEMNITY
FUND NOW EXHAUSTED.

Madison-Th funds allotted by the
legislature for the period from July
1, 1919 to June 30, 1920, for payment
OF indemnitv by the state on cattle
condemned and slaughtered on ac-
count Of tuberculosis have all been
paid out.
Notice was sent some time ago by
the Live Stock Sanitary Board of the
State Department of Agriculture to
veterinarians and breeders of cattle
in Wisconsin. stating that no testing
must be done until July l, 1920, un
less the owner is clearly informed of
the situation by the veterinarian MAX
ing the test and agrees before the test
is begun to hold any reactors, that
may appear, in quarantine separate
from the remainder Of the herd until
July 1, 1920, when they will be APP
praised and disposed Of. Farmers Of
the state desiring to test cattle are
being notified to the same effect.
Farmers who choose to test their
cattle for tuberculosis between now
and July 1st,' said member of the
Live Stock Sanitary Board, must do
so with the clear understanding that
they are to hold their reactors for
appraisement, disposal and indemnity
payment on or after July 1. 1920 Far
mers who desire to do so can. Of
course, waive their claim for indem-
nifty from the state, test their cattle
and ship their reactors to packing
plants having Federal inspection, re-
ceiving for them the net proceeds on
ly. However, in making such ship
ments the animals should be shipped
as reactors and the packing plant
must be notified by the shipper of the

Trenton, Oct. 2.-Following requests
as to whether Chapter 1856 of the laws
of 1920, exempting from taxation for

that they must be erected between Octo-
Der 1, 1920, and October 1. 1922, to be
entitled to exemption. The board pointed
out that in prescribing the period of
exemption the legislature plainly had
regard to the provision of the general
tax act fixing October l as the date of

Commission Dec ides Lieutenant
Only Did Duty In Freeing Prisoners

Lieutenant Of Reserves John J. Car
lin, who was recently suspended and
ordered before the Civil Service Com
mission by Director of Public Safety
Cortelyou, was reinstated with full pay
from the time of his suspension by the
commissioners today.
The commissioners, after hearing the

was only upholding the law in releasing
a prisoner on copy Of the charge
signed by Magistrate Neff.
The police Of the Eighth and Jeffer-
son streets station made a number of
arrests In gambling raid September
IL. The prisoners were transferred
from the station house to City Hall and
later given hearing before Magistrate
Carson.
Magistrate Neff signed a copy Of the
charge, which releases a prisoner until
his hearing. Upon the presentation of
the copy, the holder of it was told by
Lieutenant Carlin that Director Cortel-
you had issued orders prohibiting the
release of any prisoner. Magistrate
Neff, when told of this, called up the
lieutenant and threatened to issue a
warrant FOR his arrest, charging con
tempt of court.
The magistrate explained clause in
the law to the police official, who COM
piled with it by honoring the copy and
releasing the prisoner. He then was
suspended by the director.
