LESS CRIPPLED
CHILDREN NOW
Effects of Bovine Tuberculin Test
is Brought Out by State Medf.
cal Association.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 28-Where are
the hunchbacks, the twisted spines
among little children, that appeared
so frequently in the pictures and the
stories of the last century?
''They have almost disappeared,
says today's bulletin from the Edu-
cation committee of the Minnesota
this blessing we have to thank-not
the physicians, but the veterinarians
who have pushed their program of
tuberculin testing of cattle and the
milk dealers who pasteurize their
milk"
Tuberculosis of the bones and
joints and of the lymph nodes at the
side of the neck is nearly always of
bovine origin" says the bulletin.
THAT is, it has come through milk
from tuberculous cows. Twenty years
ago the hospitals for crippled chill
dren were full of children with
twisted, bumped backs that were
a characteristic manifestation Of
this bovine Infection. Now the num-
Der of these children has dropped to
a minimum.
I'm some places where veterinar-
ians have brought about an almost
complete control of tuberculosis
among cattle through the tuberculin
test, not enough cases of the char
acteristic bovine infection appear to
teach medical students and nurses
what they should know about the dis
ease.
The recent trouble in Iowa, between
a group of farmers and the state
veterinarians was laid to a mis-
chievous, uninformed propaganda
against which farmers everywhere
should be on their guard, say these
Minnesota physicians.
I'm the important question of cat
tie testing" says the bulletin, ''the
testimony of the stock and veterinary
experts Of the University Agricul-
tural College as we'll as of medical
experts should be weighed with the
irresponsible statements of fanatics.
To abandon cattle testing, now,
would be to slip back twenty-five years
in the control of human suffering and
disease"

RADIO ENTERTAINERS
ARE WELL RECEIVED

Not only dancers but many others,
amongst them older folks, gathered
in the Riverview pavilion at Rut-
ledge Saturday night to see the Oscar
Danielson Swedish dance orchestra
in action and to hear these artists
near at hand, having herd them often
over the radio. The music was so
good and the tempo so perfect that
even older folks could not resist trip
ping the light fantastic toe. Old
time Swedish dance music, which by
the way is written so that every beat
is clearly distinguishable, was inter-
spersed with popular American dance
music, and occasionally Oscar Daniel
son would please the audience by
one of the old time dance
songs with the accompaniment of his
orchestra.
Musicians who do much dance
playing, though advanced in the pro-
fession, are sometimes inclined to be-
come careless and lose some of the
artistic touch, but not SO with the
talented violinist in this orchestra.
The other members, those playing
piano, guitar, piano-accordian, and
drums are all able musicians and the
combination makes happy one for
dance music. They are heard over
WCCO every Monday evening and
their audiences apparently are grow
ing larger each week, many folks
availing themselves of the opportun-
ity to hear the orchestra right in the
studio at the New Nicollet hotel in
Minneapolis. Oscar Danielson, it ap-
pears, has the happy faculty of utter
ing more words per minute than any
one else singing over the air.

 "why, could write better story myself" said the brash Alice. Prove 1t, prove it." The challenge came from all sides.
 T will" she said. But before she started Lois suggested they all help. She invented a new game on the spot.
 Each one of you take a piece of paper and put on 1t the numbers one to ten. After the number one write an adjective. After two a part of . house. After three q piece of wearing apparel. Lois went on giving ten different sub jects, She included a slang ex- pression, q food, a game. a part of ones anatomy, an occupation, a method of conveyance, and others.
 Then Alice was sent to another room where. she could concentrate and wrote very short story using characters in the party. Every 50 often she left a blank whcih she numbered. There were ten blanks in All
