REQUIRES

TUBERCULIN TESTS Every Dairy and Breeding Animal Imported Must Have Health Certificate ST. LOWS. Dec. 15 Missouri is again among the states that require all cattle shipped within its boundary for breeding or dairy purposes to have certificates of health Hhowing them to be free of tuberculosis. More than a year ago this regulation w adopted by the state authorities but owing to certain mistakes in wording the order, traders in live stock in 8t. Louis obtained an injunction against the state authorities preventing them from enforcing the order, and from June until the middle of November breeding and dairy cattle came into Missouri without having been glven the tuberculin teHt. Now the mistakes in wording the regulation have been corrected and Missouri will receive only healthy dairy and breeding cattle. Thirty-nine other states require health certificates for dairy adn breeding cattle, and Illinois is the only Important cattle state in which such cattle are received without some sort of health certificate. A few years ago Illinois had such a law operative, but by exceeding their authority the state officials became Involved in injunctions and delayed uita, and for the past two years all cattle have been received without certflcates of health. When the tuberculin test first became operative in Missouri it was entirely under state supervision and state appointed Inspectors made the tests. They received a stated fee, generally 1.50 for each animal inspected, to be paid by the owner of the cattle. In the past year the bureau of animal industry of the United States department of agriculture instructed its inspectors to make such tests, free of charge, at points where Inspection is (maintained. In Missouri this makes Kansas City, St. Louis and St. Joseph the three points where the tuberculin teat la applied by the United States government. A certificate from one of these offices will pass the cattle Into any state where health certificates are required. If an owner of cattle cannot reach points where government inspection is maintained he can have state inspectors apply the test by paying the fee and the expenses of the inspector. , Price's have a beautiful line of neat packages, filled with elegant chocolates ranging from 10c up to four dollars. A SOLEMN MOMENT. When the Great Mail 8teamr Was 8topped In Midocsan. The great steamship wavered; the screw revolved more slowly and gradually ceased to turn. There is something uncannily disquieting about an unmovlng ship In the middle of the ocean, and for a few moments there were fearsome rumors among the second and third cabin passengers. The steerage, being nearer to the heart of things, understood what was going on. The deck stewards went about explaining, and as they explained the passengers moved to points of vantage. Then all was very quiet quiet even for the sea. A man whom the first cabin passengers knew to be a famous bishop stepped down from among them. A heavy, clumsy, grewsome bundle wns brought np. Over it the bishop, with bared and reverent bead, intoned the service for 'those who are buried at sea. As the bishop spoke the words of committal, "We therefore commit his body to the deep, to be turned into corruption, looking for the resurrection of the body, when the sea shall give up its dead," a door in the bulwarks was lifted for the bundle and let down again, the ship began to move, sluggishly at first, then smoothly as was its wont, and the passengers went back to their games, their books and their lovemaklng. . The greatest event in the dead stoker's career was over. He had stopped his majesty's mall-Exchnnge. The Eskimos nd th. Bible. Frank Cross, a missionary among the Esklnids, has found considerable difficulty in using the illustration of the Bible in arctic regions. He gives two amusing anecdotes to bear out his statements. First, how his Eskimo interpreter translated a well known text Into the following: "Every log that brlngeth not up good 'applk' Is cut up and used for firewood," "applk" being the Eskimo for dried apples and the .nearest thing to fruit that they know. Again, of law, Justice and government they have not the remotest notion. Mr. Cross' nearest neighbor had hundreds of dollars' worth of furs deposited In a cache. Wishing to preach on "Where Thieves Break Through and 8teal," the Interpreter gave up bis attempt at translation, for he said such a thing was Impossible among them. T. P.'s London Weekly.

IS THERE GRAFT 111

One Woman Says So. Also States Best Things Are Sold Before It Opens. People Who Do Hard Work Take Back Seat at Dedications.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "When the women get to voting," said a certain militant lady, "one of the first things we're going to do is to execute the recall on church fairs. "How's that?" asked the cynic. "Graft permeates every department of society!" exclaimed the militant lady dramatically. "You amaze me!" murmured the cynic. "It is the truth," went on the first speaker. "Aand church fairs aren't any better than state legislatures. It's all fixed up before hand and you can't get a thing you want." "These are serious charges," said the cynic. "May I ask you to elaborate them more clearly?" "Sure," said the militant lady lapsing into the vernacular. "Why, its this way. Church fairs are scheduled to open at a certain hour. Instead of waiting until that hour arrives, anybody can go In before and by the time the real opening rolls round everything desirable is sold. "In fact," continued the militant lady waxing indignant, "many of the best things are sold before they are brought to the church or wherever the bazaar is held and are only on display. Marked sold before they're put on sale!" "Inconceivable!" cried the cynic. "It's graft that's what it is!" vociferated the militant one. "It isn't fair its a mean way to run a church fair." "Church unfair," you might call it interpolated the cynic making ready for ejectment. The militant lady, however, seemed not to notice. "If I had my way," she continued, "I'd do away with church fairs, bazaars, suppers and everything that didn't pertain strictly to the religious aspect. Think how funny a kitchen in a church!" "Funny?" 'the cynic queried. "Oh, you know what I mean," said the militant one petulantly "Not amusing, of course, but what you call anomalous." "Certainly anomalous," agreed the cynic. "Well you know how it is. The people who do all the work are elbowed out of the way when there's any posing in the spot-light to be done." "That's where the heavy-weights come in. At the laying of the corner stone, you know, all those who have been intimidated into contributing including Blufferton, who doesn't go to church once in ten years although he sends a check with regularity, sit on a dais with the preacher, the bishop, the deacons, the wardens, the mayor, the head of the street cleaning department, president of the board of public works, and the ministerial association." "Oh," said the militant lady, "I don't believe they ever have the street cleaning man 'there." "They d in our town," said the cynic. "Its part of his duties." "I don't see the connection." "There isn't any," said the cynic. 'That is," he added hastily, "it is merely a sort of demonstration to to show people that the head of the street cleaning department isn't a myth. That he can be bodied forth in the flesh so to speak." "This strikes me as being rather silly talk," said the militant one. "What bearing has it on graft at church fairs?" "None, I freely admit," said the cynic. "You talk now." "Well," said the militant one, "I know its rather an old argument but if all the time and money spent on getting up these fairs was turned into cash it would exceed in volume the dizziest receipts ever raked in at the finish." "The candy-booth " "Yes, just think of the high price of living of the terrifying prices of butter, eggs, sugar and all the stuff that goes into home-made candy " "Think of the part that doesn't adhere but falls back into its component parts," interrupted the cynic. "Of the portion spineu on tne stove ana tne j rest that drops on the floor and which j you step in when taking the stuff off to cool." "Then there's the pure food"' "Which I'm told is bought at the Exchange " "Don't, you thing it. Its prepared : in fireless cookers and paper bags. Its i an awful lot of trouble to get up pure j food," said the militant lady. "It's too bad, too, that its so much j trouble," replied the cynic, "because : its always so nasty." "Well, I'd hardly call it nasty," expostulated the militant one. "No certainly not I spoke without due consideration. Hardly nasty but seeming to lack the proper underpinning needing a little more bolstering up with the leeks and onions, to speak in Biblical metaphor." "Why is it," pursued the cynic, "that healthful food is always so unpalatable? That things that are good for you are so repugnant to the taste. That good girls are invariably ugly and Christian Endeavor parties always so infernally stupid

THE CHURCH FAIR?

"Stop right there," said the militant lady severely, "I belong to the Christian Endeavor!" "I apologize, my dear," said the cynic rising and salaaming profoundly. "Apologize merely!" scornfully deployed the lady. "I'm sorry you're offended," timidly went on jthe cynic, "for I was about to quote, when you broke in "I hate quoting," said the militant one. "This would have pleased you " "Do you think so?" "I know it would because it v.-as derogatory to my delightful sex and I am sure that would please you." The militant lady looked out of the window. "Although I have received little encouragement to proceed," murmured the cynic, "I will, with your kind permission, mount to my climax. I was about to say or rather quote from a play 'Why are all the men bad the nice oues I mean.' " "Well?" "Meaning ?" "What has that to do with pure food?" "As the man in Madame Sherry said 'I'm surprised!'" "Don't ask me to follow you," said the militant one weariedly. "I really wanted to talk to you about the horrid way women carry on church fairs and you do nothing but interrupt with silly remarks and foolish questions." "Give us some more of your church fair dope." "As I was saying, then," went on the militant lady, "if all the money spent on getting up one of these things was actually given to the church it would mount up to twice as much. The time we spend getting 'em up, too afternoons and afternoons and evenings making bags and aprons and pin cushions and doll clothes and towels and heaven knows what! The trial to temper, the 'hard feelings' engendered when the affair is pulled off" "'Pulled off!' I'm ashamed of you!" said the cynic severely. "Besides," said the cynic. "Is not ;the association t-gether something? Think of the pleasant social times you have and the free advertising for the bazaar you get through accounts of your meetings in the society columns tut, tut! my dear, I do not like your spirit." "Well its graft, anyway," said the militant one, "to let the favored ones in before the public gets a chance." "It goes to show just what would happen if you all voted," said the cynic maliciously. "Not at all," cried the militant one. "We would take, our civic duties seriously. We would be honest we wouldn't wire pull or sell out or do any of the horrid things men do." "My dear, you sure do make me I laugh," said the cynic. "But please let me t 11 you a funny story before ve part just to show there aren't any hard feelings." "Go on," said the militant one discouragingly. "It's about a man who got into Seattle at the time something was the matter with the water-pipes," said the cynic. "Nobody could have water except doled out a few drops at a time. The man couldn't stand it any longer so shaved with a quart of champagne and ordered eight gallons of milk for a bath. Talk about the high price of living!" "I don't see anything funny about that." "I didn't expect to, my dear," replied the cynic. "But when I told it to another man what do you think lie said?" "I haven't an idea." "That he'd have shaved with the mlk and bathed in the champagne." "Well if you see any connection between that and what we've been talking about " sniffed the militant one. ''By the way what have we been talking about," inquired the cynic.

WHITE PLAGUE FILM

To Be Shown Here Week. Next The Wayne county Anti-Tuberculosis society officials announce that people who do not understand the meth ods being employed in the fight against the white plague, can have everything explained simply by witnessing the special moving picture film that is to be shown here next week. This illustrative film, entitled the "Awakening of John Bond," is to be shown at the Arcade moving picture theater Friday and Saturday, the twenty-second and -third of this month. A large per cent of the box . office receipts on these two days is to Le given directly to work in com- : bating tuberculosis. Officers of the Wayne county society announce that every admission paid to see the show helps the fight, as the theater gets only enough to pay the expenses of the production. Red Cross seals will also be sold at the show. j Secretary Bond reports that Wayne ' county citizens are supporting the Red , Cross seal campaign well, and the sale this year is already certain to exceed past figures. One woman has alone sold over five thousand stamps in Richmond in the last twe weeks, j and hopes to almost double this mark before the close of the holidays.' The Main street stores have also had success in vending the pasters, and informal reports indicate that the present supply of 35,000 will soon be exhausted. A booth will be set up in the Richmond postoffice- the first of next week and the campaign during the few days before Christmas wjll be pushed hard by all local charitable organizations.

TESTING AN OCTOPUS. The Pewee ef This Repulsive Creature Much Overrated. There have been made abroad experiments with an octopus. In a specially devised tank of sea water, in order to test the truth of the many stories told of monster cephalopods dragging human victims to the sea bottom, says Harper's Weekly. In the tank with the octopus there was placed a "dummy" of the same specific gravity as a man. and this was baited with a crab. Attracted by this tempting morsel, the octopus made for the figure, seized it in its powerful arms and tried to drag it under water without success. It then urged its body toward the edge of the tank, and. holding the glass with some of its arms, it dragged its prey beneath the surface and rushed the crab shell with its powerful jaws. It is believed that these experiments afford proof that the octopus can only drag its victims far below the water near rocks to which it can attach Its suckers. There is one spot in the bay of Naples where these creatures attain a large size, and now and then a fisherman is reported missing. It is thought that such disappearances are due to the unfortunate man being caught by the leg by a concealed octopus and dragged under water. In the case of such a repulsive and powerful creature as the octopus it is difficult to separate fact from fiction.

A VACATION IN BED. Twenty-feur Hour' Sleep Versus a Week's Holiday. If you want to obtain complete rest and recuperation equal to a week's vacation in minimum time sleep the clock around twice is the advice of a physician who holds a high place in medical circles in England. "To spend twenty-four hours in bed." he said to a friend, "instead of rushing away for a few hours" change of scene when you are run down physically and mentally, is worth a week's holiday. The night before, having gone to a theater to take the mind off worries and having supped wisely and well, instructions should be given that the morning calling shall be omitted. "Then sleep. On waking turn over and sleep again. On waking again ring for some hot milk. Drink it and sleep again and keep on sleeping. Have nothing in the intervals more substantial than soup. Do not read. Keep the eyes shut constantly. Have a warm bath in the evening and sleep again. "When you are tired of sleeping Sleep again for the night. Nothing calms the nerves more than resting the eyes."

PRICE WAS WITNESS Murderer Alleges the Victim Angered Him.

(Palladium Special) EATON, O . Dec. 15. Placed on the witness stand Thursday, Charles E. Price, charged with' second degree murder, testified that he was mad when he struck a blow with an axe handle that caused the death of Andrew F. Avery. He declared Avery hurled a vile name at him. Price recited all the details leading up to the time of the fight, and although he said that Avery had not hit him, he made self-defense his ple:. Other witnesses examined Thursday brought to light the fact that Avery was quarrelsome when drinking. It had previously been shown that both he and Pric were intoxicated. The motion of Price's attorneys to have William Samuels, a state witness, placed on the stand, was overruled by Judge Risinger, and Thursday's session was opined by the examination of witnesses for the defense. Samuels was an eye-witness to the tragedy, but the prosecutiou saw fit not to call him, and the State's evidence was rested after the examination of Leslie Samuels, a brother. The case was resumed again Friday morning, with the court room crowded, and with interest increasing as the number of witnesses diminishes. According to Prosecutor H. R. Gilmore the case will probably be concluded Friday afternoon and the jury go out for deliberation.
