McCANN Vast sums of money, appropriated annually for the double purpose of encouraging poor farmers and check ing the spread of animal disease, arc divided, through political pull, among bankers, lawyers, cattle dealers, and • politicians—This form of waste in volves many criminal practices, the true nature and significance of which are rarely suspected by the taxpayer— It not only robs the public purse, but attacks the health of men, women and children. There are two leaks in nearly every State of the Union through which pub lic money is squandered without the knowledge of the taxpayer. These leaks are indemnities for tuberculosis among cattle and for glanders among horses. At their best they accomplish nothing for public welfare. At their worst they are criminal. These leaks usually llow as follows: The State Department of Agricul ture for the theoretical purpose of checking the spread of tuberculosis "I WAS A NERVOUS WRECK" SHE STATES Mrs. Burger, Formerly President of Order of Owls Recommends Master Medicine "A WONDER MEDCINE" SHE SAYS ' p—w—sa IT "My health had been very, very poor for a long time as my many friends can testify," says Mrs. Maggie Burger, the well-known Mrs. Burger lives at 1532 Thompson St., and is now the picture of health." "My 'lvor was not working right and had been poisoning my whole system for a long time; 1 felt tired and run down and when I sat down it was all I could do to keep from dozing off, yet when I went to bed at night I couldn't sleep and would get up in the niorning just as tired as I was the flight before." "1 was a nervous wreck as a result of my Buffering for 1 was afflicted with rheumatism, too, and the pain in my knees, shoulders and particularly my back was almost unbearable." "Of course, I had tried many reme dies but they none of them did mo any good but when I began taking that wonder medicine Tanlac, I started to feel better right away." "I have been taking Tanlac now for several weeks and I can truthfully say that I am fully restored to health and happiness. I feel strong and ener getic; I sleep well and restfully; my appetite is fine, my nerves are quieted and much stronger and all of those rheumatic pains have gone." "I recommend Tanlac to all my sis -ler Owls and to everyone who feels the need of a fine tonic." Tanlac, the famous reconstructive ionic, is now being introduced here at Gorgas'- Drug Store, where the Tanlac man is meeting the people and ex plaining the merits of this master medicine. Tanlac is sold also at the Gor*?as Drug Store in the P. R. R. Station. * ——s Start Early Seeds Now l''ur i:nrllrnt Crops Start Indoors or in Hotbeds.

When a cow is found to be diseased It is condemned. If worth SSO the con demning State official appraises it and the State then sends Its owner a check, for 80 per cent, of the appraised value. The beautiful theory on which this form of gift- giving flourishes at pub lic expense is based on the idea that the State, to save the animal industry from the ravages of disease, should cull out and kill the tubercular cow and at once encourage its owner to buy a healthy cow in its place by hand ing him a generous donation from th State treasury. For many years the Department of Agriculture of New York State has been playing this role of fairy god mother to the "farmer." But since 1910 less than 5 per cent, of the cows of the State have been tested. Of this small number tested so many have been condemned that the State has found it necessary to pay to the "farmer" $889,000. From the 95 per cent, untested thousands of diseased cows are ship ped annually into Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and as far west as the Pacific coast, thus spreading the seeds of disease north, east, south and west. My readers know that thousands of these cows that should have been con demned found their way to slaughter houses, where, in Brooklyn alone, in 1916, 61,000 such animals were pre pared, with the help of corrupt offic ials, for food purposes. The facts should alarm every State in the Union. In seven years 75,000 cows have been tested In New York, weeded out, and theoretically made safe. But 1,425,000 cows go right on with their spreaders of disease uni detified and uncontrolled. It may enlighten the average ama teur, who suspects little and knows less concerning the operations of in visible government, to learn that in New York State the $889,000 distrib uted for the purpose of encouraging the farmer to build up healthy herds did not go to the farmer at all, but to politicians, influential lawyers, bankers, and cattle dealers with po litical pull. Had the State's beautiful theory been applied to the real farmer in stead of to a few favored politicians, twenty times this sum, or $17,780,000, would have been necessary in order to reimburse the owners of danger ously diseased and condemned cows and thus enable them to clean up their dairy herdß. These unclean dairy herds are now supplying the milk of the country and thus constitute an issue which vitally concerns every inhabitant of the United States. If twenty sewers were pouring their infection Into a stream of drinking water and the people spent. $889,000 to plug up one of the infecting sewers, leaving nineteen of them to continue their work of contamination, it could be said of such performance, "This is a deadly and expensive joke." Yet the situations are parallel. Every dollar of money spent in tu berculosis indemnities has been squan dered by reason of the fact that it has been spent in plugging up but one-twentieth of the sources of Infec tion, leaving nineteen similar sources to continue undisturbed their work of defilement. The farmer, believing himself to be the beneficiary of tho distribution of these indemnifying moneys, makes no complaint against the system on which they are based. Tho taxpayer, who does not bother his head about the affair, makes no complaint. It may be possible, however, when the farmer learns that these vast sums of money, which are supposed to be utilized in bettering the condi tion of his animal industry are in reality divided among a few influen tial persons who are not farmers at all, he may be moved at last to ask his official friends, advisers, and lead ers why their oratory Ignores the truth. , The criminal aspect of this sort of folly is found in the fact that the State officials who distribute the in demnities have for years accepted the certificates of veterinarians who are not only not licensed, but who are known by the officials not to be li censed. The country is full of such prac titioners. There are nearly a hundred of them operating in New York City alone, where thousands of dollars of State money reach the owners of glan dercd horses every year. Twenty of these illegal operators through private effort have been pros ecuted and convicted, but the officials go on brazenly in accepting the certi ficates of the remainder. Thus have been developed groups of privileged dealers who buy up re jected animals for a song, obtain their official condemnation, have them offi cially appraised, and then collect the taxpayers' cash through the indemni ties provided by law. Itching Pimples Burned Constantly Cuticura Heals | Covered Entire Body. Formed Sore j Eruptions. Caused Disfigurement. Clothing Aggravated Very Much. "At first I noticed an itching sensa tion covering my entire body. It was veryAnnnoying and was the cause of many sleepless hours. Then small pimples appeared, and from scratching they gradually got worse and formed sore eruptions. My skin was sore and itched and burned constantly, and the breaking out caused disfigurement. My clothing aggravated very much so that I could not work. "I saw Cuticura Soap and Ointment ad vertised and sent for a free sample. In less than a week I could see a difference so I purchased more and now I am entirely healed." (Signed) Miss M. Heer, 156 Henderson Ave., Washington, Pa., Sept. 17, 1916. While Cuticura works wonders in all cases of skin and scalp troubles it is also ideal for every purpose of the toilet, bath and nursery. The Soap used daily does much to jwvent skin and scalp troubles, cspccuSly when assisted by touches of Cuticura Ointment to first signs of pimples or irritation.
