II you believe in star guidance
you may want to try some OF Miss
Helen Paul's Christmas shopping
suggestions.
It's as simple as A. B, c. says
Miss Paul. II one studies the signs
under which friends and relatives
are born. no one need fear that
their gifts will be exchanged after
Christmas"
For eleven years Helen Paul has
been drawing up horoscopes for
business men and housewives. Last
year she did her Christmas shop
ping the heavenly way. and believed
that not single present was ex'
changed after Christmas.
Here's her rating OF Christmas
satisfaction according to the zodiac.
Those born from Dec. % TO Jan.
q are the practical type. Capricorn
Is their sign-and they have yen
for leather goods.
The Aquarius boys and girls born
from Jan. % 10 Feb. 20-like the
unusual, the Aquarius females han
kering for ankle bracelets, the males
want spats.
Those born under the sign OF the
70
would be greatly pleased with
we goods-wines and liquors.
The Aries crowd-March q to
April 21-go in for smoking. Ash
trays, cigarettes. pipes. tobacco for
ths men. For the women, box Of
"personalized" matches, or, bright
red sweater and cap.
The Taurus peOple-April % TO
May 21-would like nothing better
than food-Taurus people never
grow weary OF eating.
Gemini-ers-May % to June ~
have literary preoccupations- girls
would be thrilled by writing ma
terial. the men by printing press
or Z pen and pencil set.
The Leo people-July 20 10 Aug

startling ties no matter what they

irgo-ites-Aug. 90 to Sept. 22-
are essentially practical. The men.
really want handkerchiefs, and the
women want a utility kitchen cab
met.
The Libra men want their hand
kerchiefs initiated. They're born
from Sept 20 to Oct 22-and at
heart they are exquisites.
Scorpio men and women-0ct.

some chisels and chunk OF gran
tie The women want TO get a kick
out Of exotic perfume, or some
spices.

In view OF the fact that New York
department stores exchanged more
than a million gifts after Christmas
last year, and merchants in general
were busy with similar adjustments
following the big annual gift parade
there is no question but that there
is need for some kind Of practical
guidance. II Miss Paul's method is
practical it will be profitable for all
merchants 10 encourage shoppers to
follow her instructions.
Perhaps a course in astrology or
phrenology or palmistry would be
advisable for clerks. Our private

United States Campaign

The campaign to eradicate tu-
berculosis in livestock was started
in the United States in 1916. Eng
land had begun a similar cam
paign in 1913, but whereas in the
United States all cattle who re-
acted to the tuberculin test were
slaughtered, in England the Min.
istry of Health slaughtered only
obviously i'll and consumptive ami
mails. The result of this up to 1887
was that in England the situation
as regards tuberculosis among cat
tie was practically the same as in
1913.
Up TO recently 40 per cent of the
cows in England had foci of tu-
bere0sosis and S~.per cen: Of aN
deaths from tuberculosis in chill
dren are of the bovine type. In the
United States, owing to the rig
orous enforcement of these drastic
laws, 10 per cent of dairy coun-
tries have reduced the incidence
of tuberculosis in cattle to Il Of
/ per cent, or less, and bovine tu-
berculosis in the United States has
been reduced over so per cent and
in many places is practically nom
existent.

rate is about Is per 100000 popu-
lation as compared to the general
death rate in the country of 46.6.
And this reduction has been
ascribed to the wiping out Of tu-
berculosis among cattle.
1t was once thought that bovine
tuberculosis could not infect hu-
man beings. That, however, was
early disproved and it was shown
. that all forms Of tuberculosis can
be transmitted in milk. Naturally
children were the greatest suffer-
ers and the childhood form OF
tuberculosis was the form that re-
suited, but since the childhood
form runs into the adult form, this
is not Of much moment.

Bovine Tuberculosis

The experience Of the United
States in the eradication Of bovine
tuberculosis g in striking contrast
to that in Englan'. In 1905 the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture Established governmental
inspection of meats. This brought
to light the terrible inroads that
tuberculosis was making on cur
domestic animals. And it suggest
ed a campaign against tubercu-
losis among animals.
This idea brought great deal
of opposition. 1t was supposed to
be unsound economically and even
a physical impossibility. In 1907
the statement was made in a med
ical encyclopedia, mo effective
control Of bovine tuberculosis is
possible. To use the tuberculin
test for its detection and to de-
roy all cattle which give the re-
n will result in economic
losses impossible for the state to
meet"
This, however, Is just what was
done. There is no question that il
resulted in plenty of economic loss.
DR.. Arthur Myers tells of one
cattle raiser who had a healthy
appearing animal for which he
had once been offered $4,000.
which was slaughtered under the
compulsory law because Of posi-
tive tuberculin reaction. The saw
ing in suffering and human life
has far outweighed any economic
expenditure.
