AWOWTECt BY LAST LEGISLATURE TO IN­ VESTIGATE THE TUBERCULIN TEST UPON M(SV CATTLE, (CONTINUED FBON PAGE FOUR.) disease, or impure milk aggravates it, it would seem to be a strong argument that milk in its transportation, hand­ ling and care after it leaves the farm, as well as the sanitary conditions around which it is produced, should be looked to more carefully and system­ atically, if any considerable autubet* of infantile deaths are to be prevented. Your committee find that there is no necessity of adopting the tuberculin test in the %tate of Illinois. Your committee further says that the germ of tuberculosis, the tubercule bacillus, may come from a cow afflicted with tuberculosis, through her milk, and infect a human being, but not to such an extent., or not in any sufficient number of ca&es, to render the tuber­ culin testing of dairy cattle either necessary or essential. There is grave doubt whether the Bang system could be carried out in the dairy district»)of northern Illinois to any sufficient extent as to make it practicable without revolutionizing the industry, as it is now carried out; and it is quite likely, if an attempt were made to put it into practical op­ eration, it would meet with such op­ position either from natural causes or otherwise as would result in its defeat. Your committee is not advised as to what extent the provision of these laws have been made use of by the various cities and counties in the state, but it would strongly recommend that the state of Illinois make an appro­ priation at the coming or present ses­ sion of the legislature to provide for one or two camps or sanatoriums in the state of Illinois for the treatment, care and cure of persons afflicted with tuber­ culosis. A grade of certified milk either should be furnished or should not be given legal sanction. If not given legal sanction, a law should be passed compelling every dealer selling what purports to be certified milk to mark the bottle or receptacle plainly in a certain number of words, as to what is the basis of the certification. We be­ lieve from our investigation that ths milk commission of the Chicago Med­ ical society are sincerely and honestly attempting to furnish a high grade of milk with an eminent amount of in­ telligence and understanding upon this subject. They are part and parcel of the medical society of Cook county. They should be protected in their work, and, if it is not wise for the state by law to establish different grades of milk and provide for the inspection, the state should at least by law penal­ ize the indiscriminate labeling of milk as certified milk. Your committee would recommend that a law be passed by the state of Illinois preventing and prohibiting any municipality in the state of Illinois from establishing or demanding the tuberculin test of dairy cattle as a means of protecting the milk supply. Your committee would further rec­ ommend that authority be granted to the state board of live stock commis­ sioners to make the tuberculin test and grant certificates to owners and other­ wise of dairy and breeding cattle to be shipped to foreign states and countries otttside of the state of Illinois, where such foreign states and countries re­ quire the tuberculin test upon dairy and breeding cattle shipped into such state®. And your committee would further recommend that all dairy and breeding cattle shipped into the state of Illinois from foreign states and countries out­ side of the state of Illinois be required to bear with them, upon entrance into the state of Illinois, certificates that they are free from all contagious and infectious diseases, including the dis­ ease, tuberculosis. And your committee would further ecommend that all dairy and breed­ ing cattle, shipped from the Union stock yards at Chicago, stock yards at Peoria and the stock yards at East St. Louis to any point within the state of Illinois, be inspected under the author­ ity of the board of live stock commis­ sioners of the state of Illinois, and be certified as free from all contagious and infectious diseases, including the disease of tuberculosis. Your committee recommend that the physical examination and inspection of dairy cows be enforced and extended as far as possible, and in accordance with the contracts that are made be­ tween the large milk dealers and their patrons as set out in our record;'and that only such animals be eliminated from the herd as show, from a physical or clinical inspection and examination, that they are infected with tubercu- is, and in this connection too much cannot be said as to the enforcement of sanitary regulations upon the farms; in the barns, a pure water supply, proper and sufficient ventilation, the icing and cooling of milk. And a law should be passed in the state of Illinois requiring every railroad and transpor­ tation company conveying milk to the city of Chicago to furnish refrigerator cars, especially for the conveyance of canned milk, and the milk should be kept at a temperature at least below fifty degrees Fahrenheit from the time it is produced until it is delivered to the consumer. We submit numerous series of bac­ terial counts made by the department of health of the city of Chicago tend­ ing to show that the number of bac­ teria in pasteurized milk is very much less than the number of bacteria in | raw milk; all of which together with 1 ---- 1- j subject of pasteurisation, your com­ mittee herewith report in it* record, with the finding and report that the subject of pasteurization whatever may or may not be the determination and conclusions of the medical world hereafter as to Its merits,--it is a ques­ tion that largely is local, pertaining to each individual city or locality and can well be left to local regulation and en­ forcement until the medical world may, by a majority, at least determine the whoiesomeness of such milk. wakter or k (mm.

Township elections in McHenry and other Illinois counties will be less im­ portant affairs this year than ever be fore. It is on accojint of the fact that £hree of the chief offices will not be filled at the coming April election, since their present occupants will hold over until next year. Those hold-over officers are the town clerk, the asses­ sor and collector in every town in every county in Illinois outside of Cook and the fifteen counties in the state that are not operating Under the township election law. Heretofore the crucial fight in most township elections has been for the office of collector, which will be elim­ inated at the coining April election for the reason al>ove stated. The same is also true of town clerk and assessor, which are hold-over offices until the spring of 1912. The reason that the annual election of town clerk, assessor and collector is passed is the change in the iaw gov­ erning these offices made by the gen­ eral assembly two years ago, and which became effective last July. This change created a two years' term fur the three offices mentioned instead of a one year term as had previously existed. The effect of the change will be watch xi with interest, as it was made with the supposed result that the efficiency of these offices would be increased if continued for two years in­ stead of being changed every year. Chas. B. Harmsen and John Niesen are the hold-over town clerk and col­ lector, respectively, in the township of' McHenry, while John Kimball is the assessor, but the latter office has been a two year period for several years. One-half the present terms of super­ visors of the county will expire at the April election. Beginning with the town of Riley they alternate along the seventeen towns. Brotzman of Riley, Whipple of Dunham, Baldock of Alden, Perkins of Seneca, Jewett of Dorr, Turner of Hebron, Richardson of Bur­ ton, Freund of McHenry and Mentch of Algonquin are the member's whose terms expire. Membership of the Mc­ Henry county board of supervisors is an honor sought by many of the best men in the various towns, for the office is one of responsibility and carries with it honor far beyond the emolu­ ments attached.
