DISEASES Of
BOTH MAN AND
ANIMAL STUDIED
MANY MEN CONSTANTLY AT
WORK TO PROTECT THE
HEALTH OF PEOPLE

Though the song about keeping the
pig in the parlor may be an obso-
lete caricature, DR.. r. NJ. Olin, Mich
igan commissioner of health, of Lam
sing, contends that "a definite pro
portion of diseases in humans is at
tributable to mans dependence upon
and close association with animals. !"
To better combat the incidence of
those diseases common to both man
and animals the state department of
health, in conjunction with the de-
partment of animal industry, started
this week special studies in animal
bacteriology and pathology, and their
relation to the public health. DIR.
K. II. Johnson, instructor in kindred
subjects at the Kansas Agricultur-
al college, has been secured by the
state to conduct the work.
People are only beginning to re-
alize" says DR.. Olin, "the close core
lation between healthy animals and
their own welfare. 1t is safe
statement tn 1t there exists
daily possibility of our acquiring
some sort of infection directly trace
able to diseased, or infected ami
mails. Among the more common types
of infection, of course, are tubercu-
losis, milk-borne typhoid fever,
scarlet fever and septic sore throat.
"By cooperating in this work the
departments of animal industry
and of health hope not only to re
strict certain types of communicable
disease epidemics, but to contribute
something of knowledge and value
to live stock breeders in Michigan"
Recent increases in laboratory
work in the department of health,
have necessitated the addition of sew
eral trained technicians, among
those secured being Allan Lemon,
formerly assistant to Surgeon Gener-
al E. r. Stitt, and bacteriologist of
the Navy Medical school at Washing
ton.

BROUGHT Down
THE HIGH COST
OF. LIVING SOME
THIEF DID SO SUNDAY NIGHT
BY BREAKING INTO GENE
HUDSON'S STORE

Some one who has been waiting
patiently for groceries and meats to
come down in price and thus in a
measure lower the cost of living took
matters into their own hands Sun
day night and broke into a cellar
window on the north side of the +.
+. Hudson store on North Bridge st.
and working their way up through
the cellar, succeeded in gaining an
entrance TO the rear room of the
store and helped themselves. to a
quantity of groceries and meats,
which they removed so quickly that
the absence of the goods was not
known of nor noticed until the store
people got down prepared to go to
work on Monday morning.
Mr.. Hudson says that the articles
taken were: quantity Of bologna,
sausages, pan of fresh liver, some
groceries and a quantity of coal. The
thief or thieves ignored a lot of su-
gar which was piled in the room and
went past this in getting to the
hings which they took and remov-
ed. So far as can be ascertained,
the party did not take anything from
the main store room, although they
could have gained admittance to it
very easily after they got in the
rear room.
The party who performed this
stunt undoubtedly thinks that they
were justified, but the chances are
they are not readers of this paper
nor even borrowers of it, or they
would have been satisfied to have
patronized the merchants of this city
who advertise bargains in it and
gone and planked down good cash
for the things which they needed and
secured them in an honorable way.
This week, it does not matter what
you are looking for, whether it be
dress goods, meats, real estate or
goitre cures, the people Of this COM
munity can read about genuine help
full bargain prices by careful per-
usal of our advertising columns and
the sheriff will not be sent after you
for doing so, either.
