Read This, Richmond Citizen!
Do you know you are in constant danger from milk infected with tuberculosis7 Do you know that untested milk exposes your children to suffering and possibly to death7 Do you know that the dairy herds supplying milk to this city are
with one exception never tested for tuberculosis
Do you know that our local health board has
never been able to have this done, this which is so essential to our safety and welfare7 A mem
ber of our staff has been making careful investigations during this week and will give his find
ings to the public through a series of articles to appear on this page through each evening of next week. You cannot possibly afford to miss them. They contain information that is vital to you. Be on the watch for them.
what the Department of Agriculture can do to best serve their needs. Accordingly he has prepared a letter which will be sent to the women of 50,000 farm households, requesting them to make suggestions. Copies of the letter will go to about twenty farms in each of the 2,800 counties in the United States. Secretary Houston expects that the replies received will represent the views and opinions of more than 500,000 farm women."
The Panama Puzzle Blood as well as water will flow through the Panama Canal unless Agnes C. Laut is badly mistaken. In a leading article in the October Technical World Magazine that will startle the veriest jingo out of his self-complacency this well informed publicist puts a number of facts together that make a Yankee's hair stand on end. "The power that rules the seas rules the world. The next contest for world supremacy comes on the Pacific. There is not a thoughtful person who does not know that Panama will not only reverse the century conduits of world traffic, but will throw Uncle Sam into the vortex of a world contest." What are the moving forces which will form this vast vortex7 The author points out that the civilized nations of the front rank are today engaged in a rivalry for colonization sites in sections of Asia and in South America. The Panama Canal opens up for the first time a pathway to enormous wealth in these parts of the world. Hence Germany, England, Holland, France, and especially Japan are straining every nerve to get a foothold in the Panama zone. England is already furnishing a base at Bermuda. Germany is striving to secure St. Thomas from the Danes. The Dutch are after Curacao while France is busy at Martinique and Guadeloupe. But colony spaces are not the only prize in sight of the big competitors; the U. S. engages in a marine business that totals some four billions annually. Twenty per cent of this goes for transportation and Uncle Sam is very poorly equipped for that kind of work. He carries a ridiculously small amount of his 1 own marine commerce. Twenty per cent of four billion is eight hundred million, a rather tidy sum. And this is one of the big prizes the nations of the world are struggling for. They want bases of supply and operation in American waters in order to handle this big job. Suppose we get tangled up in war with one of these nations. No idle question. They do not seem to be afraid of us. There is the Monroe Doctrine, for instance ; it seems to be in a bad way now as European and Asiatic Powers seem to build forts and coal and naval bases right under our noses and without so much as a "by your leave." They don't seem to be bothering much about that famous document; at least not noticably. In case of war! Yes. But our jingo friend in chesty tones says, We have a Yankee army that can whip the world' Whip the world 1 Not so as you can notice it. Not according to Agnes Laut. And not according to Frederick Talmer either. In McClure's for September "the world's greatest war correspondent" pays his tribute to "The world's most advanced business War." In paragraphs of photographic clarity he reveals the extraordinary developmnets in the war industry during the past ten years. War, he argues, is a highly developed technique developed with great complexity on the principle of division of labor. The individual soldier is no longer a hero leading a charge, he is a cog in a big machine. And it requires years to prepare him to be the cog. That's why our volunteer armies which we dream of raising in case of an emergency would be so futile. The Panama Canal is itself a vast fortune which must be defended against all comers at any cost. The growing complexity of our international affairs is liable at any time to involve us in a struggle. And how are we prepared to meet such an issue? We are not prepared at ali; in such an event we would prove to be the most heavily handicapped fighter among all the great powers. At least, so say Agnes Laut and Frederick Palmer.
Helping the Farmer Secretary of Agriculture Houston keenly realizes the paternalistic duties his new job imposes on him, as evidenced by the following despatch from Washington: "David F. Houston, Secretary of Agriculture, .wants the women on American farms to tell him
Wayne county's twenty farm wives, if they reply to this bucolic epistle, can give the esteemed boss of the agriculture department valuable pointers on the best makes of motor cars for rural use and how to best invest the profits off a bumper corn crop.
Finly Gray Poet This is taken from the Congressional Record: Mr. Gray (of Indiana): Mr. Speaker, It has always been my practice to vote against the previous question where there has been no opportunity for full discussion. But this discussion bopan in the early springtime and has continued during the long, weary months of a torid summer. The birds have nested and flown with their young; the flowers have bloomed and faded; the harvests have ripened and been garnered in; the beetles are already singing the dirges of a dying year; the fall has come with the sere and yellow leaf of decay, with wailing winds and naked woods and meadows brown and sere; the first breath of winter is upon our cheek to chill us. Looking squarely at my platform pledges to the people I was ready to vote for the previous question. (Applause.) If Finly continues to make a practice of such prose-poetical flights his entranced constituency of the Sixth Indiana district stands in danger of losing his valued services as an obtainer of garden seeds and liberal slices of the public buildings appropriation "pie." President Wilson has a predeliction for appointing to the foreign service staunch Democrats of such literary ability as flashed by Mr. Gray on the momentous subject of "the previous question." But how fickle fate can sometimes be! Consider that golden-voiced Rushville statesman, the Hon. James Mulhall Watson, who once made the floors of the house of representatives run with the tears of his emotion-stricken associates with that epic on "the grand old flag" and the "Colorado sunsets." A cruel constituency, ignoring the literary talent displayed by their gifted representative in that classic address, retired him to private life for no other cause than he had failed to vote "right" on such trifling questions as the tariff, labor and pure food.

HIS VIEWS UPHELD
THE WORLD OF AUTUMN.
A crimson weed and cobalt seed, a burr and a thistle-pod, A poppy bloom and the yellow dust in the plume of the goldenrod ; A beautiful world to live In, Forget In and forgive in, To walk In and to work In, to rest in and to nod.
A chestnut burr and a chinquapin, a haw with its berries black; A paw-paw sweet, a bin of wheat, the straw in the barn yard stack; A bountiful world to grow In, To reap in and to sow in, With joy In the blood a-bubble from the lips of youth blown back! The windfalls under the winesap, a barrel by the cider mill, A red corn ear in the husk somewhere, and a maid with her heart a-thrill; A fine old world to spark In, To sing in and to lark in, To find the old-time sweethearts the same old sweethearts still! A fox in the den by the berm bank, a horn on the hills of light, A minuet in the mansion with the hunters homo in the night; A glorious world to dance in, To live life's old romance In. To court in and to sport in when the eyes of the maids burn bright! The Bentztown Bard.

cows; or don't have It done because they are not compelled to. "I try to see to It that each dairy supplying Richmond is properly inspected and call at least once a month. If conditions are not satisfactory I don't jump on the man and revoke his license but try to help him get in shape. We don't like to put a man out
of business where it can possibly be
helped. 1 believe cows should be tested for tuberculosis at least once a year. Dr. Davis Instructed me to attempt to persuade dairymen to have the test made but have been unable because there is no law to back us up." Dr. Davis and the health board are planning to conduct a campaign of publicity in an endeavor to have all dairy herds tested for tuberculosis andto educate the public on the question.
Danger threatens Richmond through the milk supply. This is asserted by local authorities who say dairies and herds are not properly inspected and that the health department has been lax in its work. Dr. M. A. Stewart, former dairy inspector, said, "We need a technically trained inspector on the job all the time. There is great danger from tuberculosis infection, especially among children. There is no reason under the sun why dairymen should not be compelled to have every cow tested. During the six months I was in office while our present milk ordinance was in force. Dr. C. S. Ilond. the city health officer ,and myself, tested about 150 head and found, if 1 remember right, eight infected. Needs Trained Men. "To do the testing properly an inspector must be a trained veterinarian. The tests cost nothing to the dairymen except where cattle are found tuberculous and unfit for food. Tuberculin serum is supplied free by the Government and the city inspector is paid a salary." When asked if he considered that cattle shoura be tested for tuberculosis, former health officer Dr. C. S. Bond said, "Certainly I do. I believe 35 per cent of children's diseases of a tuberculosis character are due to infected milk. We should have a thoroughly trained and competent inspector and he should see to it that every cow is tested at least once a year. "Infected milk is one of the most dangerous of all sources of disease. It may land us any day, as it once did, in an epidemic of typhoid. And a case of typhoid in doctor's fees alone will cost on an average of $6 or $70. Our lives rest in the dairy inspector's hands. He should be one of the best trained and highest salaried men in the city administraton." Dr. Thurston's View. Dr. J. M. Thurston Bald: "Children contract tuberculosis of the bowels, of the intestines, of the joints, and of the glands through infected milk. Even if germs themselves are not transmitted, the poisons they have manufactured in the milk are very harmful and lead to many painful and dangerous diseases. Medical authorities are coming to believe that spinal meningitis and infantile paralysis are both due to tubercule infection in the milk or other dairy products." Chas E. Flook, present dairy inspector, asked if competent to make tuberculin tests replied: "Anybody who can read a thermometer can test a cow. When first in office Dr. Davis and I tested about 225 and found approximately 3 per cent infected. Some dairymen object to the test, they don't believe in it, or are afraid of losing

She leaves him In a rage, the collector puts out the lights, 'and as the curtain drops for a moment a shot is heard. As the curtain goes up on the second scene, the young man had been roughly taken out of his sleep
