A TUBERCULAR COW
AND HER VICTIMS

While you are agitating the subject
of milk for young and old, we should
also remember the dangers of milk
from tubercular COWS and make sure
that the COWS are healthy The Knox
County. Illinois, Farm Bureau Bulle-
tin shows a fOrlOrn picture of a
five children in one family affected
in explanations:
she did not have tuberculosis, be
peared to be healthy, even tho she
was tuberculin tested, tagged as
reactor and placed in quarantine. The
COW was given to a farm hand in lieu
of some money. The only two chill
dren in the family of seven who did
not contract the disease were the
eldest, who never drinks milk, and
the six months old baby who has
never been given any cows milk. A
pig and cat which had been fed on
milk from this COW also showed le-
sions of the disease The, COW was
killed and proved to have generalized
tuberculosis. A warrant was issued
for the arrest of the owner and a
heavy fine levied as penalty for
the offense.
/ Under the care of the County Anti
tuberculosis Society all the children
are improving, altho one girl is seri-
ously affected with curvature of the
spine and one boy has open sores on
| the top of his head and on his body"

The NEW IDEAL

With dad and me it's half and half,
The COW own was once his calf,
I'm going to stick right where l am,
Because my sheep was once his lamb
I'll stay with dad-he gets my vote
Because his pig became my pork;
No town for NELL stick right here
For he's made me tractor engineer.
ITS even split" with dad and me
In a profit-sharing company.
We work together from day to day
Believe me, boys, it's the only way.

French and Polish engineers under
the supervision of the two govern
ments.
A plan Of the lake. marking the
spot where the treasure was
dropped into the water by the
troops, has been recovered by the
authorities. Estimates Of the val

from 100000 to 100000 gold
rubles ($22, 100000 to $30.000,000)
Many guns and flags and even
carriages and other articles belong

RESUlP TON OF
DAvENPO JOB
ENDS STRIKE?


Result Of the announcement yes
terday by the Priester Construction
company Of Davenport that 1t would
proceed with the erection Of a $780,
900 garage in Davenport for the
Johnson Motor Service company,
regardless OF the union difficulties,
IL creating discussion among en-
ployers and employees.
A general trend Of opinion is
that other big contractors will
fall In line and resume work, while
several contractors have been
heard 20 say that the announcement
Of tho Priester Construction COM
pany will hurry a settlement with
the labor unions.
It Is row predicted BY some Of
the contractors that there will be
no general open shop declaration,
but tina. complete settlement of the
difficulties will be brought about in
not less than two weeks.
Union Affillation Big Point
From Information obtainable it
seems that affiliations OF the unions
in the allied trades is now a point
OF contention and the wage scale
iS Of considerable less Importance.
While labor leaders will not say
that there Is any movement to ac-
cept a cut In wage. there are indi-
cations that the fight is being CEN
tered on retaining the allied trad IS
and that compromise on the
wage scale can be worked out sat
isfactorily.
However, on the right Of afiilia-
ton the union leaders say disrup-
ton Of the allied trades will never
be accomplished.
The wage matter, leaders say, re-
mains solely with the men. The
unions claim that no big jobs can
be successfully undertaken until
general settlement is reached, and
1t Is indicated from statements
made today that a get-together of
the contractors, and union commit
tees will soon bring about settle
ment IL the contractors drop their
hight against separating the unions.

automobile ride yesterday afternoon,
and after leaving her car in the garage
she walked up TO her apartment on the
third floor OF 351 South Twelfth street,
Newark She went IN and placed her
handbag. containing S25 in cash. on a
table by the door. Without closing the
door she stepped to the centre of the
room and began 70 remove her coat
when she heard a noise behind her. She
turned to see three young men crowding
into the apartment
What do you want?' cried Mrs. Het-
trich.
She jumped forward and seized one
of them, trying 10 push him out of the
apartment. But the man drew a re-
volver and pointed it at her, while one
of the others closed the door and
locked it.
Keep still - commanded the man
with the gun, "or I'll kill you I"
While this man continued to cover
Mrs. Hettrich with the revolver one of
the other burglars went into the bedroom
of the apartment and jerked the sheet
from the bed. He ripped Ii into strips
and then, with the aid of another. tied
Mrs. Hettrich to a pillar set alongside
the jamb of the door between the living
room and the bedroom. They tied her
hands and feet fast to the post and
wrapped several of the strips Of cloth
about her body, so that she could barely
move.

earrings from her ears a diamond
lavallier from her throat and two dia-
mond rings from her fingers. all valued

rich that she would be killed II she
made an outcry.
But the door had no sooner closed be-
hind them than Mrs. Hettrich began to
squirIn and work herself loose from the
pillar She managed to release herself
in a few moments and ran TO the front
window. where she leaned out and
shouted for the police Several other
tenants heard her and telephoned to
Police Headquarters. While looking out
Of the window Mrs. Hettrich saw the
three men leave the doorway of the
apartment house and walk slowly down
the street toward a limousine which
stood near Fifteenth avenue. When she
yelled they began to run, and the car
started just before they reached It. Two
OF them leaped into the machine. but the
third missed his footing and fell. one Of
the rear wheels running over his arm.
The car stopped. two men jumped from
II and helped the fallen man inside and
then the machine turned into Fifteenth
