MILK IS MATTER
FOR GREAT CARE
Tuberculosis Is Frequent in
Cattle But Many Counties
Are Waging Campaign for
Its Eradication.
Sanatorium. Feb. 26. ? More than
10.000 children in this country die
annually from tuberculosis due to
cow's milk, says the noted authori
ty, Dr. Kenelm Winslow, author of
the book, "The Production and Han
dling of Clean Milk." According to
Dr. Winslow milk causes eight per
cent of all deaths from tuberculosis
and about 15 per cent of all the
deaths from tuberculosis of child
ren. But consumption or pulmon
ary tuberculosis is not caused by the
bovine germ, he says. It is always
derived from a human source, un-,
less the bovihe germs become alter
ed by growth in the human so as to
simulate the human tuberculosis or
ganism.
It is the opinion of Dr. Winslow
that milk from tuberculosis cows af
of infection to children. He says:
"Tuberculosis is extremely fre
quent In cattle ? in some herds as
many as 90 per cent are affected;
among 24.000 caws in Massachu
setts. 50 per cent were found tuber
culous. and throughout the whole
country 10 per cent of the milk
cows are tuberculous." The writer
ways further:
"Taking at random samples of
mixed milk on the market it has
? been shown that one in every ten
will contain the germs of tuberculo
sis and will communicate the dis
ease to other animals. Even the
milk from certified herds which are
tested for tuberculosis is not abso
lutely safe, as animals develop the
disease between testing times,
and the writer has known of one in
stance where 20 per cent of the an
imals In a certified herd was tuber
culous through carelessness of the
management."
As to safe milk Dr. Winslow says
that certified milk is the best raw
milk procurable as a general propo
sition, but that It is far from infall
ible in even the protection against
tuberculosis, which is the danger
most readily avoidable. Proper pas
turization, he .says, will make milk
perfectly safe.
Dr. Winslow's book probably
places the percentage of infection by
the bovine bacillus both In cows and
children too high, but the danger is
real and the danger is great. We
have cause for congratulation in
North Carolina that through the ac
tivities of the State Department of
Agriculture in cooperation with the
U. S. Department, of Agriculture a
strong campaign is being waged
throughout the State for the com
plete eradication of tuberculosis in
cattle, and with great success for a
goodly number of counties have al
ready completed the work ? wouldn't
It be fine if rtur people were as
much Interested in themselves as
they are in their cows, and would
!)CCO]pe Interested In having several
counties without tuberculosis In it.

No Fun Like Work
To Third Graders
? I
They Count It A Real Privi
lege To Build Bookcases
And Birdhouses
"There's no fun like work," runs'
the adage, and the primary school
has a new plan that demonstrates it!
admirably.
It's like this:
When the third graders have per
fect lessons they have the privilege
of working in the workshop from
three to four in the afternoons.
Privilege is the word, and proud in
deed are these little people when
they've had perfect lessons and may
speqd that hour sawing wood, sand
papering rough edges, putting the
parts of a bookcase together, paint
ing it and putting on the finishing
touches that make the article ready
for actual use in the school room.
It's bookcases ncrw, but soon it's
going to be birdhouses, and these are
of particular interest because some
of the third grade rooms have bird
clubs and learning about the birds}
of the Southland and their habits'
and songs. To build a real bird
house. well, "there's no fun like
work," anyway, and the grouch who
doesn't belive it. would be converted
could he see the happy youngsters
at their task in this-hifternoon hour
under the direction of their princi
pal, Miss Sallie Deasley, and their
superintendent. S. L. Sheep.
Now, of course. "All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy," but
that is tomorrow's story.
