STATE CHEMISTS
WIN VITAL ACTION
Right of the State to Pass Upon
Cold Storage Eggs Is Up
held in the Courts
The ability of the chemists of the
Dairy and Food Bureau of the Penn
sylvania Department of Agriculture to
determine when eggs have been placed
in cold storage for a period of thirty
days or more has been further up
held by an opinion of the Superior
Court which affirms a decision of the
Blair county court and jury on a re
cent case.
The Dairy and Food Bureau
1 brought prosecution against a cold
storage warehouse company for sell
ing cold storage eggs that were not
labelled. The defense contended that
the eggs had not been in cold stor
age but the Dairy and Food Bureau
chemists by various tests proved by
the eggs themselves that they were in
cold storage for thirty days below a
temperature of 40 degrees. The proof
was so well carried to the jury that
a verdict of guilty was rendered.
The cold storage company asserted
that no case had been made out to
prove the eggs cold storage products
but the court overruled the motion
and sent the case to the jury. Later
the cold storage company took an ap
peal to the Superior Court which has
just handed down an opinion through
Justice Henderson sustaining the find
ings of the jury.
It Is the only case on record where
a State Department has proven by the
eggs themselves that they were cold
storage products and promises to
have an important bearing on future
violations of the cold storage laws of
Pennsylvania.

Dealers as a Source of Gral't, It Is
Time for the Common People tq
Prepare Themselves Agains* the
Dangers That Threaten From With
in as Well as Those From Without.
The influences behind the spread of
disease among dairy hoards of the
United States, incidental to the cor
ruption of the veterinary profession,
are easily traced. Their potency to
work havoc is obvious.
As far back as 1913 the Health De
partment of New York City had warn
ed Dr. W. H. McDowell, of Liberty,
Sullivan county, N. Y., against his
activity in using the name bf the
New York City Board of Health in
forcing farmers to submit their cat
ale to his tests at fees ranging from
25 cents to J2 n head.
McDoyell was not a licensed veter
inarian. But the Department of Ag
riculture cared nothing for that. Too
many others were practising illegally,
including influential politicians, edu
cators, reformers and corrupters of
certified herds, to justify any special
pursuit of the inconspicuous McDow
ell.
McDowell continued to practice
without interference in spite of the
official but discreetly unheeded com
plaints against him.
March 12, 1915, there appeared in
the Liberty Register, a country paper
published at Liberty, Sullivan county,
Dr. McDowell's home, an item of news
announcing the appointment of Mc-
Dowell by the State Board of Health
as a New York State veterinarian who
henceforth would have charge of the
testing of cows in Sullivan county and
adjoining counties.
The item was pure Action. But the
news spread rapidly, and as it was
looked upon as true McDowell soon
found himself the most popular and
incidentally the most prosperous vet
erinarian for miles around.
However, he suffered keen compe
tition through the person of another
unlicensed veterinarian Dr. J. C.
Smith. Competition of such charac
ter sometimes gives rise to rumors.
In the McDowell-Smith case the

rumors flew fast and furious. They
inspired so much scandal that the
Department of Agriculture, fearing
consequences damaging to itself, de
cided to "conduct an investigation."
As a resylt nearly two hundred affi
davits, describing the irregularities
and illegalities of the uninterrupted
practice of McDowell and Smith, were
Hied with the Commissioner of Agri
culture.
These affidavits disclose the grue
some fact that barns were scored for
the Health Department by merely
looking at them from the roadside;
that cows were tested for tuberculosis
without the aid of tuberculin, a hypo
dermic syringe or a thermometer;
that tests were applied by absent
treatment, the cows being in barns
miles away and the test charts filled
in at the bar of a village tavern or
any other place where Ink might flow
from a fountain pen.
A farmer had complained to the
American Agriculturist. The Ameri
can Agriculturist had complained to
the state officials. The Health Depart
ment had complained. The village
officers of Liberty had complained.
McDowell and &mith had not com
plained.
When cows were tested from the
roadside by merely looking at them
as they browsed in distant fields the
charge for the tests was from 10 to
25 cents a head. Gabies might com
plain of that, but babies possess no
understanding of the perils of diseas
ed milk.
Finally the president of the village
of Liberty, a dealer in hardware, dis
closed the fact that the village board
had paid Dr. McDowell money for
visiting some sic kanimals on the farm
of Dedward Washington, who peddled
milk.
When Washington was examined he
declared: "Dr. McDowell came to my
barn and laid his hands upon my ani
mals. For this test I paid him. I
would not have done uo had I not re
ceived a visit from the manager of a
milk company in Brooklyn, who told
me that I would have to submit to an
inspector) If I wanted my milk to go
through to New York. I did want my
milk to go through, and having seen
the statement about Dr. McDowell in
the Liberty Register I employed him
to get it through. His test consisted
of the aforementioned laying ou of
hands."
The records of these unsavory be
trayals of public confidence at the
expense of the health of infants and
invalids lie buried under the heading
"Secret. Not to Be Disturbed."
Politics, when it tinkers with mat
ters of life and death, becomes an ift
strument of the devil. Not until the
people grasp the significance of the
evils heaped upon their children by
corruption in high places will they
take out of the hands of politics their
public health affairs.

French Coa! Problem Is
Vexing in War or Peace
Paris, March 21.—However press

more pressing with the return of
peace. Already the gbvernment is
studying possible ways and means of
freeing France after the war from
bondage to. German coal. The indus
trial situation before tho war was
continually aggravated by the taci
that France had to depend on Ger
many for so largo a proportion of her
supply of coal. Everybody In France
hopes that some way out of a return
to that condition of dependency may
be found after the^war.
The situation la complicated by the
French expectation that Alsace-Lor
raine again will become French, The
return of these provinces would mean
virtually a doubling of the nation's
requirements of coal, owing to the im
mense amounts required for the de
velopment of the Iron deposits In Lor
raine, This means that Instead of do
ing with about 60,000,000 tons of coal
a year, as before the war, France will
need more than 100,000,000 tons.

in the end we shall suffer the fate of

To Prepare the Sys

The change of seasons is al

the change from winter to spring.
With the change of seasons there
is also a change going on within
the human system that is very
trying on the average person, un
less nature is given some assist
ance.
The severity of winter has a
wearing effect and leaves the
body in a run-down condition.
That is what is meant by the
general debility which seems to
affect so many people, common
ly called "Spring fever." Anyone
is liable to feel its depressing in
fluence.
At this season men who are
vigorous and active, and need all
their strength in their daily pur
suits, find creeping over them a
feeling of weakness which in
creases until their entire system
becomes worn-out and a break
down seems imminent.
Women become nervous and
tired, their household duties seem
more than they can stand, they
can hardly drag themselves
around, so weakening is the "all
run-down" feeling which takes
possession of them.
Spring ailments are common to
children, for this is the season
that is most severe on their little
bodies. They become puny, lose
appetite, are cross and irritable,
all because they are not in the
proper physical condition to stand
the change.

reason is easily explained, and the
condition can be readily correct
ed. There are certain demands
made upon the human system
every day, and weather conditions
play an important part with the
functions of the body. Impur
ities have accumulated during
the long winter period, your
blood has become sluggish, and
as the health of your body de
pends upon the condition of your
blood, it is impossible to be vigor
ous and feel buoyant when it con
tains the slightest impurity.
Nature needs assistance, and
the feeling of lassitude is her
distress signal calling for aid. She
needs a cleansing tonic that will
sweep away the accumulated im
purities and prepare the system
for the bright and sunny spring
time.
It is right now that everybody
needs a few bottles of S. S. S.,
the greatest blood purifier and
tonic. This is truly nature's own
remedy, for it is composed only
of the roots and herbs of the
