An ordinance was passed re cently by the town commission ers, as has been mentioned in The Robesonian, forbidding any one to offer milk forjsale in Lum- berton unless a certificate has been obtained from a veterinary surgeon to the effect that the cows from which the milk is ob tained are free from tubercular germs. Mr. G T. Page, town clerk and treasurer, has received from the assistant State Veteri narian at Raleigh, Dr. C. P. Wood, a batch of agreements wmcn must oe signed and re turned to the office of the State Veterinarian before they will test cattle. There is nothing compulsory about signing these agreements, a copy of which May be obtained by any who have cattle they want tested, but if they are willing to sign them the State is willing to test their cat tle, provided the owner has as many" as six. Where one man has not as many as six the cat tle will have to be bunched at one place. Dr. Wod writes that he can test about 150 head in two days if they are bunched and be has three good helpers. As soon as the agreements are signed dates will be named on Which tests will be made. The only expense attached to having cattle tested by the State Depart ment of Agriculture is the actual expense of the men who do the work.

Last week the experts in charge of the hookworm cam paign in this county treated 645 cases. Lumberton led with 242 cases Saturday and Fairmont was second Thursday with 181 cases. Dr. B. W. Page, who is in charge of the work for this coun ty, says that interest seems to be growing and people are coming greater and greater distanceseach week be to examined and take the treatment During the four weeks that closed Saturday night 1,352 cases were treated in the county. The county appropri ated $50 a week for six weeks to pay expenses of advertising and the expenses of an assistant to Dr. Page, and Dr. Page's re port to the commissioners today, approved by Dr. W. A. McPhaul, county superintendent of health, shows that the total expense to the county so far has been $157. 43, which is $42.57 less than the appropriation for the weeks that have passed. The total expense to the county so far divided by the number of cases treated gives a quotient of less than 12 cents as the cost to the county for each case treated. Even one man cured of hookworm ought to bev worth more to the county than what it has cost the county to treat 1,352 persons. Only two more weeks remain during which these dispensaries will be in the county and those who want to be examined and treated would better take advan tage of the opportunity at once. The appointments have been published several times in The Robesonian but they are given again for the benefit of those who may have forgotten St. Paul Tuesdays, Maxton Wed nesdays, Red Springs Fridays, Lumberton Saturdays.
