The state board has very wisely pro vided that there shall be no consump tion germs placed on the sidewalks from persons spitting. It has also de manded that all things exposed for tale that are to be eaten shall be pro tected from such bacilli by demanding that they be covered up, so flies and dust can not get on them, thereby in fecting: such food.

In viaw of the fact that the citizens of this city are " demanding govern ment Inspection for all meats sold and consumed in Richmond, brought about by the sickening ' discoveries cf tuberculosis cattle In Wayne coun ty; cattle which were brought to the market and slaughtering pens to be butchered and consumed by the peo ple of this city, but which were caught in time by Dr. Waggoner, government inspector, his remarks along the line of tuberculosis are particularly inter esting. This disease is considered the most dangerous that is found in cattle and other animals of the United States and from a pure food stand point should be fought with might and main, not only by the people, but by the stock owners, dealers and breed ers themselves. In speaking on the matter. Dr. Waggoner said: Subject not Appreciated. "There are few if any subjects con nected with animal husbandry upon which more has been written and pub- ifched within recent years than tu berculosis. Notwithstanding this ac tivity, in the discussion and Investi gation of the disease, there are few subjects upon which there is so great difference of opinion, and there s- none whose importance Is so In adequately appreciated. It is unfortu nate that in the first attempt to con trol the disease in the United States, measures were adopted by some state authorities which were so radical and harsh that they aroused the anta gonism of the cattle owners, those persons who first of all should have been in sympathy with the movement. The question of the supression of tu berculosis and the protection of the people against tubercu losis cattle, is not a question of senti ment, but one of fact and it should be examined as a business proposition.

"My tip for Health," John often said: "FOR GOODNESS SAKE, EAT MOTHER'S BREAD RICHMOND BAKING CO. ft tubercle bacilli is the real method through which, tuberculosis infection reaches the lungs. "While many cases of tuberculosis undoubtedly have their origin through food directly or indirectly infected with fresh, tuberculosis material from persons so afflicted, there are no means today by which persons are brrought into closer contact with such fresh material than meat, milk and dairy products obtained from and in the environment of tuberculosis cows. We have no more active agent than tuberculosis cows, for the increase and persistence of tuberculosis amon men. Man is constantly exposed to fresh tuberculosis material in a help less way through his use of meat and dairy products, from tuberculosis cows and cows associated with tuber culosis cattle. It seems to mo that we Bhould feel no doubt regardins our plain duty, which is, no matter what other measures we adopt in our fight against tuberculosis, not to neglect one of the chief, if not the most im portant source of infection tubercu losis meat and dairy products." Should Protect Butchers. Dr. Waggoner also stated that if the city council passes an ordinance for government inspection and the butch ers go to the expense of preparing for it, the Richmond butchers against REAL ESTATE BEST III CITYS HISTORY Business in This Line and in The Building Line Is of the Most Satisfactory Kind. ARE NOT ENOUGH HOUSES. f CARPENTERS ARE IN DEMAND AND HOUSES ARE BEING RENT ED BEFORE THE PLANS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. The real estate and building business in Richmond is today the best in the history of the city. There are not en ough houses to meet the constant de mand and real estate Is booming in all parts of town. Carpenters are in the greatest demand and houses are beinx all others should be Protected first, rented before the Iang haye beeu com last and all the time. They deserve , , carrying sputum and bacilli from the street to fruits and other food products thus exposed. Such stores must be pro vided with ample fly screens to pre vent these germ carrying insects from getting on food products. Slaughtering places shall also be so required under the law. . There -caJ be riol 1 question concerning the value of laws requiring perfect cleanliness in all places pro ducing food products, as a prevention of disease, as violations of such pre cautions will result In sickness for either the persons engaged In such work or those for whom the food is prepared, and every precaution must be taken in Richmond to prevent dis eased foods from entering the market v.hether from the country or from the city. ' There is a moral as well as a dis ease consideration in the state laws prohibiting the improper naming of foods', as anything short of the truth on the label would be an. intent to defraud as well as a possible danger to the health of the user, so that a double reason is present in making all the men stick to such wise provisions of the law.

RUSSELL. that untold losses have resulted from the ravages of disease. They have had vast herds of fine and valuable animals destroyed through tubercu losis. Besides the influence upon the herds and the owners of the animals, tuberculosis has an influence upon the community. A herd of animals is not bred for the use of the owner but the primary object is to produce, and sell dairy products, meat and stock ani mals to other people. Is It right to sell a tuberculosis animal' to go into an other owner's herd when the disease is likely to spread and to damage that herd? Is it right to sell tuberculosis cattle and hogs for slaughter, when we know that many of these animals are slaughtered in establishments wuere there is no inspection and that dis eased carcasses may consequently be used for human food? Is it right to sell the milk from tuberculosis cat lie, knowing.. that it may. be used for the nourishment of the most delicate children, when such milk frequently contains tuberculosis bacillus.--Not Through the Lungs. "The luntrs of the human are the points to which the tuberculosis bac illi generally make their way and it is thus that many people, and even physicians are inclined .to think they are breathed into the lungs from the dust and other sources. I do believe this is the case s experiments have tended to show that the ingestion of it and" should have the protection due them. Outside meats should be bar red unless they have the government stamp upon them. In case government Inspection of the meat products becomes a reality in Richmond, it is probable that at least four men will be assigned here, a livestock inspector, a man to pass his opinion on. foot and an experienced stock roan; two meat inspectors, prac tical butchers who are thoroughly ac quainted with the interior organs . of cattle and their proper condition; -and an assistant veterinary. Dr. Waggon er will have charge of the whole corps and will pass definitely on all diseased cases found in the different butcher ing establishments. Dr. Waggoner answers the report that he is working for more money for disclosing the tu berculosis cases, he stating that if Richmond secured government inspec tion ho would have all the more work to do and no more pay for it. Dr. Waggoner stated during the course of his conversation that the butchers are not to be feared so much at present. It Is not the butchers but those farmers and dealers who place their cattle with the butchers when they well know they, are diseased, but hope that they will avoid detection before and after slaughtering. The meat question is one that i3 a large factor in the fight for pure food and Dr.. Waggoner's statements will no doubt carry much weight.

Woodhurst, one of the best known real estate men in the city, states that this is his best year since he has been in the real estate busi ness. "It is a fact that for some time I have received nearly one hundred calls a week from people who are seek ing houses for rent," said Mr. Wood hurst. "At the present time I have no houses left on my list which rent for $10, $12 and $15 per month and I nave very few houses left that rent for ' more than this, and they have all been spo ken for by a number of people. New Families Coming. "Several of the larger factories in the city are being enlarged and additional men are being employed. Those me chanics who come here from various places to accept employment desire to locate their families here and other real estate agents and myself have been besieged by these mechanics for houses. The result is that all of the houses that rent for reasonable sums have been taken "To meet the demand for rentable houses a big building boom has been started and dwellings are being put up in every part of the city," continued Mr. Woodhurst. "Building In West Richmond Is especially active. At the present time six dwellings are under construction on Randolph street in two blocks. The city Is certainly growing and growing fast and the investment In local real estate right now would be a most profitable venture to anyone. The lots in the new additions to the city will sell like hot cakes." E2 The Geo. H. Nolte Carpet and Drapery House.
