From time out of mind dairymen e judged the health of thelr animalg by appearance. Acting in accordance with this standard I believe that the majority of duirymen consciéntiously maintain herds of dairy cows apparentiy healthy as far as they can determine. = Unfortunately there s a disease' most alarmingly prevalent among dairy cattle that can be recognized but rarely by the appear- the cows. 1 refer to tuberculosis, commonly called consumption when man, thei ance of which is atectinz s a contagious disease which ptionally favorable opportunity e conditions under which dairy pt.

One of the most striking portant facts in regard to tuberculosis that it may exist to a dangerous degree a long time without producing signs of Iness or even of condition.” and 1 Dr. V. A.

There are two ways In which the disease can be detected, namely, by physical examination and with tuberculin, ~The physical examination (judging by general appeara: is of value in advanced cases only, or where the diseased part is in evidence, as for example, the Iymphatic glands of the neck.

It has been found, however, that tuberculin is as harmless as | peed be' to the health of the animal. ““All these who have worked with tuberculin have agreed that it is one of the safest and surest tests In detecting the presence of tuber- culosi# that is known to the medical world."” The test has withstood for ten years the constant onslaughts of prejudice and ignorance. but §s to-day officially by the governments of the United States, Great Britaln, France, Germany, Argentl and others The issue in Berkeley is clean cut. The herds are so thoroughly Infected with tuber- culosie that the dalrymen object to the use of s Alagnostic agent capable of indicating the diseased cows. They insist upon the use of antiquated methods of physical examina- tion notoriously ineffectual and useless. They do mot wish to go to the root of the matter and waed out thelr diseased animals. They prefer to go on from vear to year, culling out their consumptive cows as fast as they be- come emaciated from the ravages of the dis- ease.

PORT HURON, Mich., July 13.—Judge Law, in the Circuit Court, to-day hand- ed down his opinien in the case of Dan St. Clair Wineland of Pittsburg, Pa., against the Knights of Maccabees of the See No Merit in Claims of' Oakland’s Seavengers OPINION IS UNANIMOUS Municipal Legislators Are Thoroughly Justified in Passing of the Measure Al it The Supreme Court handed down a de- cisiod yesterday upholding the Oakland garbage ordinance. The plea that the measure in question was special legisla- tion is held not well taken. The opinion is signed by all of the Justices. Antone G. Zhizhuzza and . Alasandro Gughimini, the scanvengers who were arrested with ia view to testing the law, are remanded to custody of the Sheriff. The matter came before the Supreme Court on petitions for writs of habeas corpus. The important section of the garbage ordinance over which there has been so fierce a legal battle reads as fol- lows: The eity of Oakland, its duly euthorized agents, servants or employes, shall have the exclusive right to gather and colleet garbage within said eity and it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation, except a3 otherwise provided in this ordinance, to collect or gather gertage within said city. The ordinance then describes what shall be considered as garbage, fixes the rates and prescribes the penalty for violations of the act. The scavengers objected strongly to having their business taken away from them and immediately insti- tuted legal aetion. They have been de- feated at every turn. They claimed that the law was dls- ¢t | criminating and unjust to the owners of | private houses in that the rates were fixed In propertion to the distance neces- sary to be traveled by the collector of garbage. The court thinks such a plea should come from the householder and not from the scavenger. Justice Van Dyke is the author of the opinion. —_————— SINKS TO FLOOR OF TRAIN, OVERCOME BY THE HEAT Mrs. Katie Haley of San Franeisco Is Taken Unconscious to Hospital in St. Louls. ST.
