the former empire.
In some provinces and in number
Of towns the republican flag has never
been flown. is not recognized, and can
not be purchased.
Even in Berlin. seat of the govern
ment, the flying standards of the en-

demonstrations in favor of the new
regime

can colors during any popular parades
or manifestations.

department.
Careful experiments in practical
work have shown that tuberculosis
cannot be detected to any great extent
among animals by physical examine
lions. The most reliable method Is the
tuberculin test applied by trained
operator. Tuberculin, while regarded
as the most accurate diagnostic
agency known to science, is safe only
in the hands Of trained and skillful
operator who is acquainted with its
limitations and with the symptoms 1t
produces in the animals to which it is
applied, the department veterinarians

Unlike most other infectious dis

oftentimes animals of the most

whether his animals are affected, they
add. This point is brought out clear
~ In two-colored poster published

two herds Of dairy cattle. From all
appearances the animals of both herds
are healthy, but as a matter of fact
those of one herd are afflicted with
tuberculosis.
The poster also shows two children
