Tests FOrS.C.
Schoolgirls
Continuation of the Program
Started in Stearns Co.
Schools in 1881
TO BE GIVEN THIS WEEK
DR.. Kathleen Jordan Will
Administer Mantoux
T. B. Tests

Continuing the program of tuber-
culin testing of school students OF
Stearns county, started in 1881, DR.
Kathleen Jordan, Of Riverside San.
atorium, Granite Falls, will be in
this city this week to give tests to
the pupils of the Sank Centre pub
lie school. DR.. Jordan commenced
work Monday in st. Cloud, and
will spend several weeks in the
county. The testing is made posi-
BILE by Christmas Seal funds and is
carried out under the auspices of
the Stearns County Public Health
Association.
The purpose Of the Mantoux tu-
berculin test is to discover children
threatened with tuberculosis in
time to prevent the development of
the disease and also to bring to
light any unsupported active cases
which may be present In the
school.
An educational campaign on the
subject Of tuberculosis will be con-
Quoted in the schools in connection
with the testing by means Of dis
tribution of literature and talks by
DR.. Jordan.
This program Of testing was be-
gun in Stearns County in 1881
when DIR. Jordan gave the test to
1887 children. It was continued In
1888 with the testing Of 1850 chill
dren.
The tuberculin test is a harmless
test, made by applying drop of
liquid called tuberculin In the up
per surface Of the skin, usually In
the forearm. If the spot where the
drop was applied becomes red and
swollen within two or three days,
It means that the child has at some
time received the germs Of tuber-
culosis into his body. It does not
mean that he actually has active
tuberculosis. The small red spot
soon disappears, leaving no scar or
bad effects whatsoever.
Children in the schools where
the testing is to be done will be
given a consent slip for parents to
sign permitting them to have the
test. Parents are urged to take this
opportunity to have their children
given the test.

Ethiopians March
To Meet Italians
Official Mobilization of Troops To
Get Under Way At Once
Fighting Reported

Adds Ababa, Oct. 2.-Nearly
$4,000 Ethiopian fighters were re-
ported on the march tonight, some
toward the Italian colonial from
tier, in anticipation Of general
mobilization Thursday.
Native drums echoing through
valleys and mountains will call ten
million men, women and boys into
service in the face Of a threatened
war with Italy.
Emperor Halle Selassie decided
on the mobilization which he will
proclaim from the balcony Of the
imperial palace, after dispatching
a protest to Geneva charging Italy
has already invaded his kingdom
with $4,000 troops.
One hundred thousand Philippians
were reported marching from Con-
war toward the Eritrean frontier,
where Italy is expected to strike.
This vast army was followed by
10000 warriors from four provinces
led by Ras Mulugeta, minister OF
war. Another $4,000 troops from
Jima, and Wallaga province were
said to be on their way to Adds
Ababa to protect the capital.
The Adds Ababa correspondent
Of the Paris Soir reported fighting
between italian and Ethiopian
troops already started in the Mus
sa Ali eastern section Of Ethiopia,
and said that there have been cas-
ualities.
The newspaper, although prev.
ious Ethiopian reports said none Of
the country's troops was in that
vicinity, asserted three columns of
advancing italian troops, totalling
$4,000 men, fought with irregular
Danakil tribesmen. The Italians
have not yet met Ethiopian regu-
lars, the report said.
Before making the decision, the
little king conferred at length to-
day with his advisers. Some offic-
ials here expressed belief war may
break out even before the arrival Of
italian consulhr agents from the
interior. They have been called in
for safety.
Paris, Oct. "A British assur-
ance to France that Adolf Hitler
will keep the peace was completed
tonight, French officials said, with
Italys promise that economic and
financial sanctions will not mean
war In Europe.

Unentangled, Free
Whole World Is Periled BY Italy.
Ethiopia Notifications
For War

San Diego, Calf, Oct. 2.-War-
talking nations across the seas
were given firm notice today by
President Roosevelt in the pres
ence Of the United States fleet that
this country must remain unen-
tangled and Free"
In stout policy-making declar-
alton in the troubled international
situation, Mr.. Roosevelt told the
nation and the world from this
naval base:
Gas President Of the United
States I say to you most earnestly
once more that the people Of Am
erica and the government Of those
people intend and expect to remain
at peace with all the world"
With this unequivocal pronounce
ment, the commander-in-chief of
the Army and Navy boarded the
u. 8. s. Houston and set out to sea
to review a demonstration by the
greatest massing Of naval ships in
American history.
Tonight he. turned for lone
cruise down the coast Of Central
America to follow up the lesson he
held up to the world today-"the
ideal Of the Americas am q
good neighbor."
Asserting that foreign war is a
potent danger at this moment to
the future Of civilization" Mr..
Roosevelt, in the San Diego high
school stadium, declared that "the
American people can have but one
concern and speak but one senti-
ment. Despite what happens in con-
tinents overseas, the United States
of America shall and must remain
as, long ago, the father Of their
country prayed that it might re-
main, unentangled and Free"
Reaching his definition Of for
eign war" the voice Of the president
grew solemn.
His declaration that the United
States remain 'unentangled and
free" brought a spontaneous out
burst Of applause which lasted
more than a minute.

May Test For
Bangs Disease
Plan VIII Be Carried On After
December 1st-Funds Must
BE Used Before July 1

Cattle owners in Stearns county
who wish to take advantage of the
Federal plan for testing for Bangs
disease are urged through the
County Agents Office, st. Cloud, to
make their plans 70 take advantage
Of this type Of service just as early
as possible, The testing for herds
for Bangs disease will be carried
on after December but funds ap-
propriated for the test for that per
iod of time must be used after July
1, 1885. This practically means that
the testing for Bangs disease will
be brought to close on or about
July 1, 1885. While the Minnesota
legislature has appropriated a small
amount Of money to carry on the
expense of retest Of negative herds
that the federal government is not
in O position to test and also of
herds after the federal testing is
completed, 1t must be borne In
mind that no indemnities can be
paid from state funds.
At the present time with Federal
funds available for the testing of
Bangs disease it should be remem-
bered that the indemnity payments
are available and it might also be
mentioned that this federal indem-
nifty has been raised from $40 to
$25 per head. This amount Of mon
ey added to the salvage value Of
the reacting animal at the market
is added to meet the appraisal
placed on the animal. At present
the Federal government makes but
one retest Of negative herds, how
ever, in cases of infected herds four
tests are made or three retests of
herds in which reactives were dis
closed on the first test.
DR.. Fretz, inspector in charge OF
this work for the state Of Mime
sofa, has ruled that the Federal
government will not pay for the
expense of retesting previously
negative herds that are not COM
posed of at least five animals over
six months Of age and that the pay
ment Of expense of making the re-
test Of negative herds will be limit
ed to townships in which the Fed
eral test has disclosed infected
herds. Owners Of cattle who have
signed the agreement to test and
their herds have not yet been test
ed should now sign the revised Fed
eral agreement. In that connection
It might also be mentioned that in
order to have the privilege Of hav-
ing a state accredited herd the
special state modified agreement
should also be signed. It Is not nee
essary, however, to sign this special
state modified agreement If the
owner is not anxious to have a
state accredited herd. Owners who
wish to sign agreements Of this
kind can be taken care Of through
the County Agents office at st.
Cloud or through any Of the veter-
inarians designated to carry on the
test in various parts Of the county.

Danger of possible violence in a

last night when striking drivers
blocked the street in front of the
office with their trucks. The street
was cleared without difficulty.
Some of the drivers, who are

Of Transfers, Chauffeurs and Help
ers went on strike Wednesday night
after company officials had refused
to grant demands for changes in
operating conditions.
Both G. l.. Riddle, company vice

demanding too much and the union
refused to sanction the walkout.

Board Urges Settlement of
Civic Clubs Dispute.

Unless West Side civic organiza-

are going to talk themselves out of
a park, members of the Park Board
said today.
The Tibbs Avenue and Little
Eagle Greek Civic League and unor-
gained property owners have urged
the board to establish the proposed
park along Little Eagle Greek, while
the West Side Federation of Civic
Clubs wants the park somewhere
along Big Eagle Greek.

City officials previously indicated
that unless Federal money is re-
ceived, there is little likelihood of
a West Side park being established
anywhere this year.
