FOODS TH K? OR AMAZING BUT RARELY SUSPECTED TRUTHS ABOUT THE THINGS YOU EAT L Mc C* li n? f By ALFRED W. McCANN Tabercular cattle are "plugged" In order to conceal the evidence of their disease. During the plugged period, lasting about a month, the diseased 4alrv animal receives a clean biU of -kcialth that keeps tier free from official interference for a year. When the tuberculin test, by which presence of tuberculosis among cattle is detected, was fully estab lished as an accurate method of diag nosis, public health authorties did not dream that it would be used on a vast !0l !e by cattle dealers and dairymen #sr the purely commercial purpose of concealing the presence of the dis ease. In New York, New Jersey and 1111- ! nois the 'plugging'' of tubercular cows has reached such vast proportions that In a number of Instances honest offi cials have been rendered almost pow erless through the trickery practiced in this manner. Cattlemen have discovered that a dose of tuberculin injected into the neck of a tubercular cow is followed by a peculiar phenomenon which scientists call "reaction." Usually a few hours after the test . is applied the tubercular cow suffers a rise in temperature. The fever continues until it reaches its climax, when at the end of six or eight hours it begins to subside, form ing the typical reacting surve. Cattle dealers have learned that af ter this reaction the tubercular cow, for a period of three or four weeks, will not respond to another test, ad ministered in the ordinary manner. j During this short period of im- j munity an "official test.'' made by a State veterinarian, will fail to disclose the presence of the disease. Out of this condition has grown the present system of "plugging"' suspect ed cows.

FRIDAY EVENING, n the animal wtlh k secret dose, watta four or Ave days and then asks for an official test. Under the official test the "plugged" cow fails to respond and a clean bill of health over the signature of a State veterinarian is issued in dupli cate, a copy being given to the perpe trator of the trick, and the other copy filed with the State Department of Agriculture. In this manner tuberculin, the dis covery of which promised, if honestly employed, to do so much for the elim ination of tuberculosis among dairy herds, has been prostituted to ends al most indescribable to the havoc which they bring about. For years State and federal officials have been handicapped through the issuance of fraudulent certificates giv ing a clean bill of health to plugged animals suffering from the disease in its worst stage. Milk men know that in cases if generalized tuberculosis. In which nearly every gland and organ of the body is involved, the animal ia so full of the toxines of its own manu facture that it either fails to react to the tuberculin test or suffers what is called a delayed reaction. By means of the delayed reaction many so-called official tests* termi nating at the twenty-fourth hour, when they should be continued to the thirty-sixth hour, have been proved to be worthless. Even certified herds have been the vtctims of this condi tion. a fact the authenticated details of which will be disclosed here in its proper place. Milk men know that the conditions here, described are not of occasional occurrence but common. They know that the situation has become so alarming that the annual report of the New York State De partment of Agriculture Bureau of Veterinary Service for 1913 was sup pressed. In that suppressed report, a certi | fled copy of which Is in my posses sion, appears the following: "It is to be hoped that some pro vision in the near future will be made I for a systemaUc and pracUcal in spection of dairy cows with the object of reducing the number of spreaders of tubercuosis in our herds. "In the past year approximately but I 3 per cent, of dairy cattle were exam ined for tuberculosis, the remaining 9 7 per cent, being under no syste matic scheme of supervision. "The knowledge of the average con sumer of meat and milk concerning the characteristics and peculiarities of bovine tuberculosis is very slight and it is a serious obstacle to a prac tical solution of the tuberculosis problem. "Only as the public becomes more enlightened in this matter will the difficulty in checking or controlling tuberculosis, both in man and ani mals, be decreased." , That the milk men know of the existence of this suppressed report is evidenced by the fact that they con stituted the influences which brought about its suppression. With these preliminary outlines be fore us we are now ready to deter mine in some measure the gravity of the milk situation in general and thus obtain an adeo.uate aopreciatlon of the heinous activities which thus far have succeeded in retarding the ac tivities of Federal, State and muni cipal officials in cleaning up the country's milk and butter supply. Judge Gives Man Choice of Jail or a Beating Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. B.—Given his choice between a term in the House of Correction and a beating. Anton Kas trzewiski, charged with beating his wife, chose the former. Mrs. Kastrzewiski appeared In dls trict court carrying a baby in her arms. | She said her husband beat her con- ; tinually and that she could get along better without him. "I've got a good mind to take you I into my chamber and beat you up." \ Judge Hedding told Kastrzewiski. I "What will you take, a beating or a few days in jail?" Kastrzewiski chose a fine of $lO, with the alternative of ser\ing thirty days in the House of Correction. Package in Mail 30 Years Is Delivered Special to the Telegraph Charleston. W. Va., Sept. B.—James C Matthews, while a resident of Tar boro. N. C., in 18S6, ordered two drum heads from a New York musical sup ply concern. At the time he was a member of a minstrel company, and when the supplies did not reach him at Tarboro he left instructions for them to be forwarded. The package containing the drum heads nas just been received by mail by him encased in the original wrap per. The postmark showed it had been mailed shortly after the order was sent, but there was nothing to indi cate where it had been during that time. I i Everyone Should Drink Hot Water in the Morning Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poisons before breakfast. To feel your best day in and day out to feel clean inside; no sour blls to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipa tion. billious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom ach. you must bathe on the inside like you bath outside. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities Into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot wa ter with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimen tary tract, before putting more food into the stomach. Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your pharmacist. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your sys them of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an ac cumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all. keep it up: As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing sweetening and purifying so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach liver, kidneys and bowels. — ": rr;r:::::::::::: SPECIAL SALE SATURDAY ONLY Specials on SOc Make Man Tablets 25c M 10c Williams' Shaving Soap ....

SAFETY DEVICE HELD ELEVATOR Inspector's Report Shows Why No Causalities Resulted at Capitol A report on the accident to the pas- < senpei elevator in the north wing of the Capitol building Tuesday noon was ! submitted to Commissioner John Price Jackson, of the Department of Labor : and industry, to-day by Lew R. Pal mer. chief of the Bureau of inspection ! of the department. Mr. Palmer and 1 It. C. Motherwell, of the elevator di- ' vision of the Inspection Bureau, made a thorough investigation of the ele- 1 vat or mechanism. The breaking of a 1.100-pound castiron hydraulic cyl inder head in which the elevator plunger operates horizontally was re sponsible for the defective operation ' of the car. The fracturing of the carting was due to impact when an | effort was made by the operator to I stop the car at the second floor.

During this fall the speed of the gliding car was constantly reduced until the point of stopping by the speed governor and clamp safety de vice which immediately became auto matically operative when the car be gan its descent unrestricted by the or dinary mechanism. . it is a significant fact that the car did not attain sufficient speed to throw Into operation a second and entirely independent auxiliary safety device, which, acting alone if the car had at tained extreme speed, would have im mediately brought the car to a stop. In this connection it may be stated that the passenger elevators In the Capitol building are probably the only passenger elevators in Pennsylvania that are equipped with two separate and independent sets of safety devices, which, so far as mechanical ingenuity can assure, would absolutely prevent a car falling at abnormal speed into the pit o! the shaft and cause injury or loss of life to occupants of the car. Chief inspector Palmer In his report declares that in his opinion the acci dent could not have been foreseen by any amount of detailed inspectibn, as it resulted from structural weakness of a part of the mechanism.
