Tuberculosis is a deceptive disease, present most everywhere. The difficulty la that it is generally detected when it baa done its Work and the cure or elimination of it is impossible The cause qot tuberculosis is a rod-shape bacteria - J commonly known as a tubercular germ, a..'' lodging in the lung cells and breaking down the lung cell walla, which - are passed out as sputum. To doctors this ' problematical germ is khown as T. B; As I to just what the nature of the tuber- * - eulosis bacteria is, is not quite definitely known. Its behavior, after it has securely gotten into the lung cell, seems to be that it rapidly carries on a pro- * oess of decomposition and the lung cells become inoculated and break to pieces. The result is generally that the blood subsequently becomes inoculated and the tissues of the whole system become flabby. It is then only t question ot^me and tbs victim gracefully' yields t^The many million -of tubercular bacteria generated in his entire system. 6ometimes ane lung msv be gone, and the patient •ill live for years. This is known as the old-fashioned consumption. Every ' "person has bad, during his life time, tuberculoai* in a mild form. On ths long «

| surface of most every individual, there ' can be found healed up spots. After the , twenty -fifth year, tuberculosis can be avoided with proper bodily and physical .' • «•**■" t I There are two main types or sources > of, tuberculosis, namely: bovine and hu- ' man. Children are afflicted with bovine t tuberculosis. That is, the disease is ' transmitted to them thru milk. The cow 5 infects her own milk thru a diseased 1 udder, caused by an unsanitary milker ' » and unsanitary dairies. Sloven and care- [ less milkmen do much towards spreading , ' j bovine tuberculosis. Pasteurized milk, 1 | in particular, and sterilized milk, in gen1 j eral, are the safeguards against bovine , 'y • inoculation. _ .. r _ I i Again, diseased meats ere a trouble- i i some source, especially pork. This source i . has become so commonly dangerous that i , all sanely progressive states have* enact- , i . ed stringent laws against the imports- i I tion into and the exportation out of the 1 1 . respective states any cattle without first 1 . having been submitted to a rigid vet- 1 , erinary examination. Dr. Parker has j 1 , estimated that of all the babies who die. i twenty per cent die from bovins tuber- < ccufosis, gotten from infected milk. 1 Adults acquire tuberculosis one from c another. This is known as bnman tu- ' The tubercular germ is car- 1 ried by every living adult. As to whether one adult will take the germ one I

> from another fatally, depends upon the I > adult's physical power of resistance. If : the bodily vigor is in good condition, j . there is absolutely no danger, But « here j I the bodily vigor and physical endurance I is deficient for various reasons, tubereulosis danger is imminent. It is a misconception that tuberculosis is hereditary. It is acquired, that is, the v e&k- j ened physical condition is inherited, but ; the germ or bacteria is acquired. The ! germ does not linger in the blood from j generation to generation. It is acquired from sources entirely outside of the People labor under tht false idea that! tuberculosis is a disease only of the] I lungs It is rather a systematic di- ' ; sease. The most destructive tubercular j diseases are: Lupus, tuberculosis of the' skin; nephritis, of the kidneyB; hip di- ! of the bones and joints; ccrebro I meningitis, of the base of the brains: spinal meningitis, of the spine; men- " aentrical, a child's infection ; inflnmmaj tory intestines, asthma, bronchitis. All ' ! these forms are contagious and are made I transmitable by general debility t%~* suiting from fatigueness, from lingering, colds, from chronic hoarseness, from lb- ' | haled dry nputnm. from other individuals | eating utensils, from ill Ventilated slscea 1 poorly cooked and commed .ally , ' -digested foods. ^ There is absolutely no -cure fo» tu-}' or consumption. The- 1'iing

IV. e 1 to be done is to prevent. Modern medi- j f ; cine aims to prevent diseases by keep- i i, ing people healthy and immune against j e diseases. The movement against this xi e destructive disease, tuberculosis, is aimed ' - ^ to make the general public intelligent < - , as to the hidden and obscure facts in- 1 . volved in the stubborn advance of the 1 . tuberculosis bacteria. In those com- t t munities which have an intelligent con- 1 » ception -of tuberculosis; all sorts "bf con- \ i j tagioua epidemics are prevented. For c ] tuberculosis bacteria are difficult germs i . to combat, if they can't act themselves, f I they will introduce other diseases which r ; j have baffled medical science and boards 1 , j of health. It is for this reason why pigs t I should be allowed to be raised within fa . j twe miles of residential sections. To v , I maintain pigs and pig-pens sanitarily n | require more time and expense than the n t average man can give. Sanitarily rais- f ed and fed pigs must have fodder and p -com for food with ceipent floored pens p accessible to large fields in which they ii can graze as sheep do. Pigs fed on gar- ' © bage are fit for nothing but to be in tin- » * ufactured into mechanical oils. Mafbage o , itself is a disease carrying medium. Peo- p "pie put everything under the sun In gar- ( and the poor pig relishes it, seem- i ingly. Now what happens to the pigs i . thus fed is that it becomes a physical I } weakling and together- with the filth ; j which It makes and the diseased waste i products that become Its daily food, '

germs by the thousands inoculate him and everything within its surroundings thus infected. Pork contains a bacter.that causes the formation of tapewithin the bodily altera. . All diseases are most effectively eliminated intelligence, whereas ignorance and multiplies destructive diHuman physical ignorance and bovine proximity' should be dealt with vigorously ^nd unsparingly by every j community for tb# sake of the communwelfare and efficiency. Permitting ! pigs to be kept within city limits, to say j nothing at all about within residential^ is ^oth quite dangerous and ex- j tremely unsanitary. For this reason are not-- destroyed by cold 1 weather, they are simply neutralized and , made dormant until the spring and sum- j weather come, then they arise from ] earthy slumber aronnd winter pig- : and some unfortunate individual i physical weak takes in many germs and 1 others. Sneh individuals may ' carry the bacteria elsewhere and infect ! some other community ofher than the ■ one in which he received them. Such . persons are know as bacilli-carriers. j F.'G. FENDERSON.
