THE LEPROSY CONGRESS.

The Leprosy Congress recently
held i'm Berlin declares that lepro-
sy is decreasing throughout the
werld. Ii this belief is correct,
we should. indeed. sing Il Te
Deum Laudamus in every church
i'm the land. But this is the testi-
mony OF all the experts, from the
many countries where leprosy
nreyails. Ii is believed now that
the disease is infectious and not
contagious. This is important
and serious too. The delegates
were generally of the opinion that
it is bacillus disease, with "a
specific germ, is not hereditary,
and is spread as cholera ana
typhoid fever are spread, but it Is
not active. nor can it be cOmmunl-
Gated by the atmosphere. 1t is
also believed that most persons
would escape infection even from
physical contact unless the con
tact was frequent. But it is said
that insects may transmit it. The
Congress does not believe that a
fish diet promotes the disease.
Regarding the necessity of isola-
ton. while some OF the members
of the Congress were. opposed to
it, the large majority were IN
favor of it. Isolation has greatly
reduced the spread of the disease
in many places. Cleanliness, good
health. variety of diet, are the
best precautions against it. 1t was
confidently asserted that before
many years it would disappear
Moreover, that cures will be dis
. covered which will prevent this
disease. as we'll as diphtheria, ma
laria and typhoid fever, from be
coming fatal.

at Watsrviet is rifle of 12-inch

II man in blouse can give him
more information than q man in
broadcloth he prefers talking to the
blouse all the time. This We take it
as the secret of the charm that fol-
lows him wherever he goes. He is
one OF the most approachable Of men
and the reason is because in his OK
perience he has found that there Ia
very little difference in men as a rule
except such as come through their
associations. Fifteen months ago he
was the editor, on small salary. OF a
no more extensive newspaper than
tho people of Utah have every morn
ing to read. The Chicago conven
tiop gave him his opportunity. Bv
one hours talk there he reached the
place where he has been the most
talked-about man IN the United
States since, and it has not spoiled
him. Possibly we ought not to give
away 60 much about him as we have
but We want the people when he
comes here to get near to him and
feel that the nearer they get the bet
ter they will like it. .. .
