...well established fact that cattle infected with tuberculosis give less milk and of a poorer quality than is given by healthy cows. Moreover, tuberculous cattle are a menace to all of the other live stock in that hogs particularly are likely to become infected from the cattle. In this way, tremendous economic injury is done to the live stock breeders of the state through the dissemination of tuberculosis from cattle. A number of American cities have shown that it is possible to insist on milk from tuberculin-tested herds, with the result that herds in their vicinity are relatively free...

...Murray to stand still long enough to act. Grandly she, the widowed Midasette, rebuffed the too confident lips of two Princes. And at the end-when the film became a gorgeous mass of greenery, blazing red uniforms, glittering gems- most elegantly did she submit to the manlier, younger, poorer son of a King...
