WOULD TEST EVERY
COW IN WASHINGTON
w. c. +. L. Convention Urges
Making Examination for Tu-
berculOsis Compulsory

A recommendation that Wash
ington make it compulsory that
every COW in the state be tested
for tuberculosis, was made at the
annual county convention of the
w. C. T. u, which concluded at
Bellingham Saturday.
The following is the resolution: !:
Whereas, scientific investiga-
tiOn of the dairy stock of the
county has proven that many
cows are afflicted with tubercu-
losis and the milk sold to fam
lilies and manufactured into dairy
products, and when condemned
and killed, some of the meat sold
to butchers for the public con-
sumption,
Resolved, that we ask the
Dairymen's Association of the
County on behalf of health, to
urge legislation requiring every
COW in the state to be tested and
when found diseased, destroyed
and the owners reimbursed with
a just remuneration from the
state.
Other resolutions condemned
city officials of Bellingham for
permitting widespread drunken
ness during the Eagles COnven-
tiOn, and pledged the Organiza-
tion to a continued fight against
liquor. The United States was
urged to stop the sale of liquor
on shipping board boats.
Attempts of the liquor inter-
ests under the name of the San
ity League to elect members Of
the legislature in this state to
aid in annuling the work of the
VolsAd law, were given notice
by the convention, with reso-
luton to battle these efforts to
the limit.

ST. PAUL ON The
CRIMES OF TIE WORLD

There are moments when we feel
IS if everything were headed straight
FOR the "bow-wows," and as if we
were living in the worst Of all ages.
AS we scan the headlines of CUR news
papers, day after day, the annals Of
crime seem never ending and of i:?fin-
tie variety. But the times are no
worse than other times, and, by and
large, they may be even better. Re-
Gently at the General Bible Confer
ence of the Presbyterian church at
Stony Brook, r. l., the Rev. Mark A.
Matthews declared that all the news
Of the state is described IN one chap
ter of the Bible, 20 Wit, the third
chapter of the Second Epistle of
Paul the Apostle 70 Timothy. mot a
crime committed in the last forty
eight hours OF DETECTION from law
is not contained therein" said the
minister. There were no newspapers
in the days Of ST. Paul, but had there
been he would have been great
journalist. as his denunciation Of the
crimes Of his age and the ages TO
come denotes:
This know also,. that in the last
days reriiosls times shall come.
For u.en shall be lovers Of their
owa selves, covetous, boosters, proud,
bIasoher,ous, disobedien. TO parents,
unthankful, unhoiy.
Without natural affection, truce
breakers, false eccusers, incontineHs,

God.

su-n away.
For OF this sort are they which
crce7 :nio hoIses, and lead captive
siily women laden with sins, led
away with divers ius:s,
Ever learning, and never able to
come to the knowledge of the truth.
Now as James and Jambres with

But they shall proceed no further;

Up 70 this date various loans IL

On each occasion Of contact with the
patient, the ward worke" hal tried q
exolain to him the methods Of the
government il dealing with disabled
men and tried to give him a clear IN
derstaning Of the service that both
the Red Cross and the governments
were seeking to give. She also tried
to develop within him a sense OF ap-
oreciat;on of the work being done by
the home service section for his fam
lily.
About one week after the mailing
of the last affidavit to the bureau, Nj.
Brown received reply stating that
he was awarded a compensation on q
temporary total rating for himself
and dependents. He Immediately
made a visit to the Red Cross Office
to thank them and said, "If 1t hadn't
been for the Red Gross, I would't be

citation for the Red Cross and said
that as soon as his cheek arrived, he
would repay his loans and that he
will always feel under obligations for
al the favors and help they had given
him.
This is one OF the many pitifll
cases. What is true Of individuals IS
true of peoples.
