There it was found that the trouble was due to tuberculosis. Everyhing that science and tender care could do failed to save the child. The par ents, recognizing the possibility of bovine origin, but heretofore neglect ful, immediately had their herd tu l.;rculin tested.

However, proof is not lacking that bovine tuberculosis is responsible for tubercu! e.s in .ito ple. particularly children. We give l'e!o-.v a lev refernces: A German commission investigated S4 children A-ho had Hi m of Tuber culosis. Twenty-one of th"se. or one fourth, had contracted :-c Mvse frm bovine sources. Several years ago an investigation revealed that in New York City there were .100 chil dren that died each year from tuber-culo.-is of bovine origin, in addition t which there were many more that were permanently disabled through tubeiculosis of the glands, bones and joints, acquired from bovine sources. In li? cases of tuberculosis of the bone in children under 12 years of l? an Edinborough investigation -howed that 41 were of bovine origin. In the same city, out of 72 children v. ith enlarged cervical glands, 65 showed an infection with tuberculosa of bovine origin and only seven with human germs. "It is evident from these reseults," says Dr. Ravanel, "as well as those drained from other workers, that lie chief danger of infection with he bovine germ is in children and imperially children under five years f rul. It is self-evident that prac tically the Olllv, source of infeerirm in such children is the milk they ill ink." This culosis waiting just ber the incidents my father lo!J me in the last years of his life, when suffer- in from the wounds he had bourne for nearly fifty years, he lived over again in his memory the four years of the war. The time he volunteered the parting with his mother, her prayers and blessings the many matches, battles in which his friends and relatives were killed sometimes by his side. The death of his brother, in far away camp Douglas, his wounds and the days and nights in the hospital and how, as he lay on his bed of suf fering, he planned what he would do with his life, if he lived to get home. A crippled man, without money or means of support. The men who wore the gray and the women who remained at home to work and weep and pray, grow fewer . as the years go by. The memory of tnese, our lathers and mothers, is a precious heritage to cherish and per petuate. In the flight of time, many events are forgotten, but the trage dy written upon the hearts and homes vi our country: ine story can never ness and distress, but the ashes from com cobs was found to be a substi- j tote for cooking soda. Perhaps in no I other way did the Southern women become more famous than in the ; manufacture of their own drexses. They could, not afford muslin at ) to l'$8 per yard, or even calico at $7.75 j per yard, so they learned to card and spin, to weave and dye their own cioth, then cut and make tAe dresses ( and were joyous in the service. !

Hut bilghtened by the faithful devotion of their family servants, whose love and care by their whit1 folks, is a tribute in itself to the Southern women who had so trained them, untutored people, that in a re generations, they had advanced so far in the scale of civilization. Many of the hardships endured we.e physical as well as mental. The fathers, brothers, and sons, sometimes every man from home was in camp or the battle front, half clad and half fed, and enduring untold suffering, while the woinn at home, in spite of ter rible days and sleepless nights, and anxious tommorows, not only kept up life at home by undreamed of toil, hut kept supplied the forces in the field.
