To Prevent the Spread of cOnsump-
tiOn.

Advanced knowledge as to the nature
of pulmonary tuberculosis and the GER
tainty that it must hereafter be treated
as a communicable disease have ne
cessitated changes in the methods by
which communities must defend them
selves against it. The belief is. in
deed, not altogether baseless that if we
can prevent the spread of the disease
we may also in the end, by proper vigil
lance, eradicate it. When we con-
slider the number of victims of this
terrible ailment who yearly go to the
grave in this country measures of pre-
vention would seem to be of the first
Importance.
The New York Board of Health, act
ing upon the conviction that pulmon-
ary tuberculosis is preventable, and
that it can be stamped out bv the eff
ticient enforcement of simple, easily
applied measures of cleanliness, disin-
fection and isolation, has recon-
mended suitable provision for hospital
accommodations for poor persons
afflicted with the disease, because they
are active sources of danger to the
community. 1t also recommends that
tuberculosis be declared by law com
municable disease, subject to the sani-
tary surveillance of the proper authori-
ties, and that public or private insti-
tutions in which cases of tuberculosis
are treated shall be subjected to specific
regulation and inspection.

One Trait of American Character.

There is one trait Of our national
character which foreigners can never
comprehend, and that is our unshakable
faith in our ability to ''come out all
right in the end. :" We stand idlv and
more or less indifferently by and allow
a country to be pushed to the verge of a
financial or political precipioe under
the impulse Of some kind of popular
craze or another, entirely confident that
just before it slips over we can take
hold Of it and pull it back. We have
done this again and again, and nothing
seems to shake our faith in our ability
to repeat the operation whenever occa-
sion arises. 1t costs us enormously, not
only IN reputation, but also in money,
and retards our growth and progress in
a thousand ways, but nothing seems
likely to cure us of the habit, unless it
be a great national calamity due to our
failing in some crisis to take alarm
quickly enough. Century.

All. What a tangled web we weave
"When first we practice to deceive y


We have had this couplet ringing in
our ears ever since the 5th of last No
vember, when we first heard the news
that through the jugglery of political
trlcksters in Dover the people had
been defrauded of the dearest right Of
treemen-the right to have men chosen
by themselves to represent them in the
General Assembly and, what is. if
possible, still more important, in that
body which is to form a new code of
organic law for the State.
On reading the inaugural address of
our newly elected governor, we were
more fOrcibly reminded of the veritv
OF the above stanza. Let us quote a
few passages from that document.
The Governor knew, when addressing
himself to the so-called General AS
sembly and the so-called Constitu-
tlonal Convention, that one-third of
the whole number of men whose names
are listed on the.rOll of the House of
Representatives and one more in the
Senate were not men elected by the
people, but usurpers of the seats of
other men, who had been chosen by
the people of Kent county. Geo. P.
Fisher.

India is one of the most densely pop
ulated countries of the world. In
British India the births per year are
computed at $685., 900, against 7,104,
600 deaths, showing during years of
ordinary healthfulness an increase in
the population of over one million.
The great mass of the inhabitants are
poor, and the production of food stuffs
in the most favorable seasons is not
largely in excess Of consumption. The
past year having been a year Of scare
ity famine now prevails in some por-
tions of the country, adding partly to
the difficulty Of staying the ravages of
the plague. Ninety per cent. Of the
stricken victims die. The appalling
misery Of situation admits of no ade-
quate portrayal.
Smyrna times., 1897-01-27
Europe's Preparations Against the Plague.

The calling of an international sani-
tary conference, to meet at Rome. to
concert measures for warding off of
the threatened advance of the plague
from India is proof of the anxiety that
Is felt on the subject by all the Europ-
can governments. In England the
anxiety is particularly acute becuse of
the constant communications between
that country and the present seat of
the dreaded pestilence. England has
been free from a visitation of ''the
black death" for over two hundred
years, her last experience of it being
the memorable plague of London in
1865, which carried off about 7O. 900
people and so desolated the CITY that
grass grew in its streets. Since that
time the disease has appeared many
times IN one part or another of that
section of the world which is loosely
called ''the East, " and has repeatedly
claimed host of victims in Turkey.
IN Russia and along the shores of the
Mediterranean. 1t has not invaded
the countries of Southern Europe
since about 1S45, but as late as 1878
there was an outbreak of it on the
Nolga, which destroyed whole villages.
The nearest approach of the plague to
England since 1865 was in the wear
1920, when it reached the port of Mar
seilles and ragged there with alarming
virulence.
The general belief to-day is that the
advance in sanitary science and in
quarantine methods has been so great
within the last fifty years that the
countries of Western Europe will be
able to defend themselves successfully
against the dreaded enemy. On the
other hand it is recognized that
the greatly increased commerce be-
tween Indian ports and those of West
ern Europe must be taken into ac-
count as an added element of danger.
1t is characteristic sign of the en-
hghtenment of the age that the nations
OF Europe no longer attribute the ap-
pearance of the plague to supernatural
causes nor view it as a special manifes-
tatiOn of divine wrath, but set them
selves to work at once to deal with it
as a peril arising from natural causes,
which must be cOmbatted with the
keenest weapons in the armory of sci
ence. There is no doubt that the
awful mortality caused by the famous
plaques of past ages was due largely,
if not mainly, to the superstitious ig-
nOrance which attributed them to
occult causes and caused to give them
selves up in despair instead of recog-
nizing them as the outcome of unclean
living and fighting them accordingly.

When these symptoms are associated with

Where there is obstinate constipation keep
the bowels open once day by using Mum
