y> VOL. XXXVUJ, NO. 30 How Impure Milk May Spread Tuberculosis j 1 Dr. Dawson of Federal Government1 Now In the County To Make Bovine T. B. Tests I Dr. B. L. Law son, o.f the federal Kgc ' bureau of dairying department of agriculture, is in the county looking JHS; after the interests of the movement to eradicate tuberculosis from the SSHgfcV cattle. The board of commissioners, , SglV" v in the fiscal budget recently adopted, t !33 W cariied an appropriation for this work in Watauga county. Dr. Dawson a.-ks The Democrat to J publish the following in this connec- ? tion, bv Dr. Charles A. L. Reed, formei president of the American Modi- * ca) Association: ^ If you live in a well-regulated American city you are probably blessed with regular scientific inspection and control of your mlik supply* It you are not thus protected you don't flive in a decent city. If you live in the country and have your own cow>, , and have the brains of the average educated farmer, you will have your I cattle periodically inspected by a \ competent' veterinarian. W hy should this he done? J There are dozens of an wers. But j only one is necessary. It is the fact that the germ of tuberculosis in cows may be and frequently is ear- . ried by their milk to those who drink the milk. This is responsible for much surgicai tuberculosis in children. !t is most common in those counties whore raw milk, butter, cheese and other dairy products arc consumed most freely. There are three recognized types of tubercle bacillus classified as human bovine and bird. The human type causes consumption (ulmonary tuberculosis), among other things, but the bovine typedoes not. In fact', the two strains j seen to work against one another, and it is possible that a child who contracts an infection from milk and suffeis from, say, enlarged glands of the neck, may be immune from consumption of the lungs all its life. This, however, is "not an argunic-nt for maintaining u tuberculosis milk sup PThe strain harbored by birds, the avian type, is probably harmless to man, but can infect pigs very badly. It did so much harm, in Denmark that laws had to be passed forbidding chickens to M kept ton a farm. To eradicate bovine tuberculosis I ab- Hfc will take a very long time. In England the number of cows infected is enormous, ami their compulsory seizure, '-elation and slaughter is a slow, labciious and vtiy costly business. Meanwhile, however, there arc two means of mitigating the damage dont j hv this disease. Pasteurization protects the children and preventive vaccination protects the cattle. Pasteurization of milk, as practiced in every strictly modern American city, saves thousands of lives every year, and wiil continue to be indis- > nonsaho- untii r[ihpveiilnsis in cattle is completely stamped out. The vaccination of calves against the infection may play a large part in this inform. Practically all calves are free from tuberculosis when born. Those that! are to be immunised are therefore separated from the mother at' once and fed on healthy milk for a week. They then receive an injection of bacilli of an attenuated strain?a strain which has been artificially cultivated for a iong time and which has become not only harmless but' capable of arousing the animal's immunity to harmful strains. A week later , they are turned loose among the other animals. Human tuherclc bacilli, killed by heat, are the type ( used in this method of protection. , Six hundred cases treated in this way three pud a half years ago are still immune, according to the tuber culin tests. The problem of bovine tuberculosis : is the problem of immuning all calves against the amount of infection they are liable to encounter in ordinary life. The scourge is preventable and this is the way to eradicate it, a way , both safe and scientific. To immunise children is much more dfificult, as they are susceptible Co bovine and human tuberculosis alike. The author has made the experiment in a large colony where all the fathers have tuberculosis, of giving over a hundred children two m doses of vaccine made from dead at fATAX A Non-Partisan Ne> BOON. SPEAKING OF 1 MEN AND WOMEN j Different Way* in Which the Sexes j View Each Other and Effect As-; sociation He* Upon Their Lives as Seen By Two Author* ! 1 ? j c By J. C. FLETCHER j The Shrine Magazine for August ?oncaiii3 two interesting studies, en- j * .itled respectively, "Speaking of' Women'* iand "Speaking of Men." j s The first speaking is done by Achmed j 1 Abdullah, himself a Moslem, who I > mirshes the age old myth about man's; 1 ;up emacy in the harem. "Speaking j 1 if Men" is done by Inez Haynes Ir- j vir? who answers Abdullah's state-j 1 me.it that man rules the world, but woman rules man. Ouaintly, Abdullah reacts to the j I im plied sue&estion that the appeal to { S hi- knowledge and wisdom i- made because he h a Moslem.. Ids people | praeti'polgamv?because they have i s harems. Therefore, rhe Moslem i ?h< lid have more intimate knoweldge ' >f woman and hey ways. There is a! 3 hr il to the American man in the wo d "haven;,*' but not to Abdullah, for he has the experience and hp mows. The Occidental fondly dream;-: of returning: home and order- i ng a dozen or so of the members of i 1 lis harem to this or that task. Imagination paint? a wonderful picture of domestic tyranny and conjugal felicity?and Abdullah excess- j es the wish that it were so, but it is , not. Mar. is not the ruler of the v harem. Nor i the haivni the wicked t and altogether romantic thing pic- ( tured by t'he missionaries and by j writers of the "sheik school." It is f just that part of ? Moslem's house reserved tor his wife, daughters, \ v mother and grandmothers, if widow- : ed, female servants and odds and), ends of needy female relatives, i These relatives are not good to took j on, else they would have husbaodk t and harems of their owni And who is the harem pops? None ' other than the grandmother, and I Abdullah ought?perhaps ought not hear her language?as she rules the * childrenchildren and servants, in fact * everyone in tile household with a rod t of iron, a discipline of pre-war officiency with a tongue fluent in un- * restrained abuse, such as would cause >. a top sergeant, in the A. E. F. to r blush with mingled .shame ami envy i But how does grandmother Fat!ma i get that way? Abdullah echoes his I own question. Then he endeavors to answer 't. She gets that Way t'or 1 woman is always woman. What is <1 railed woman's intuition is nothing I more nor iess than woman's clover ncss arid shrewdness. It begins v where man leaves off, and the fact "hat the Oriental woman, being a 1 crbal'ure of the house and not of the < outside world, has her field of opera- f tion and endeavor limited, makes tor i shrewdness more efficient than that of her more emancipated American , sister. Still the question persists, | (i how does she do it? Personally, Ah- j x nullah has not the faintest eoncep-1 t tion. But he does know from '"hitter aiid ' j motely experience" as he terms it. j j Lhat among ttli the world's domestic,; j even domesticated martyrs, t'liere :s c none quite as badly henpecked as the Oriental husband, and he thinks that the prophet Mohammed, too, spoke from experience when, gallant and j reckless soul that he was, declared: I v "Oh ye women, give freely alms, I although it be of your gold and sil-l v I h *v-x jvjTEEIb. iur, veiny, ye arc cne most worthy of hell on the day of j! resurrection." Abdullah, thinking ot women, wrote this in fear and trembling, but having spent' eight long years in the war, he resolved not to be craveil. * Thus, resolved to be brave, he 0 Liuotes three more of Mohammed's v wise maxims, speaking about liarems: "There has not been given any ca- v lamity more hurtful to man than woman." o "Forgive your wife seventy times ? and seven." r Sullenly speculatively in the third: a "How then may a wise man admonish his wife?
