CONSUMPTION is CURABLE.

IT seems that the California state
board of health has not actually
declared quarantine against con-
sumptives. but has merely taken the
matter under consideration. OF course
there is big difference between con-
sidering such q proposition and en-
forcing IL. But the mere fact that it
has bsen given official attention in
dicates the Importance that attaches
to the matter. In the west the ques-
tion of preventing the spread
of tuberculosis has attracted far more
attention among the masses of the peo-
pie than in the east. The reason for
this is that the cities of the east have
been suffering from the scourge for SO
long that they have come to regard It
as impossible to avoid: while on the
other hand the communities Of the
west have been until recently the most
healthy in the world, and the intro
duction of contagious disease by out
siders who come seeking health has q
dreadful significance to those who
have not been accustomed to living
in infected places.

have not been accustomed to living
in infected places.
Says DR.. Crowley, member of the
California health board: Twenty
thousand consumptives In year enter
our state, promiscuously spreading the
germs of their own disease. The cli-
mate may save one In fifty lives or pro-
long lives six months or year, but
how many others who have not been
previously infected will die from this
reason? We are morbidly afraid of
diphtheris, scarlet fever, smallpox,
cholera and yellow fever. We quar-
antine these cases because they kill 30
quickly, and our people appreciate
this, but lingering tubercular disease
that eventually kills twice as many as
all these together is permitted to con-
tinue unchecked, notwithstanding the
efforts OF SCIENCE" This is all very
true, but when DR.. Crowley begins to
make suggestions for meeting the diff
Guilty, he.proposes solutions that may be
theoretically all right but are practi-
cally impossible He thinks that those
infected with tuberculosis should be
subjected to almost as strict quaran-
tine as is thrown about those who are
stricken with yellow fever or smallpox.
He would have tuberculosis patients
kept from contact with the non-infect-
ed at all times; he would shut con-
sumptives out of churches, theaters,
public meetings, public conveyances,
aud public dining rooms; he would
have ample means for disinfecting
their disease laden discharges.
If all this could be done no
doubt the spread of the disease
would be greatly checked and long
step taker toward its effectual stamp
ing out. But who is going to exercise
{ his police power over that large pro-
portion of the population of an average |
town who suffer from tuberculous
disease? 1t is exactly because con-
sumption is such lingering disease |
that any such rigid quarantine meas |
0res as those enumerated above seem |
impossible to enforce. 1t Is said that |
one tenth of the population is Infected |
Will tuO0rCulOsles DuU, DIS q COuISu-
porsry suggests, 1.-THE man suffering
from consumption must work until be
drops in his tracks, for his family must
be supported. The wife and mother,
fading away, must keep her
feet until the lsst. There is no help"
With the last remark we have no
patience. There is help; there is cure.
It is only ignorance and prejudice on
the part of physicians and people alike
that have permitted the disease to run
riot so long. After the ravages of
have reached q certain
point it is quite possible that perma-
1ent cure can not be affected. But in
Ill ordinary cases, certainly if taken in

A Nation of Kings.

There now remain only one people and
one little valley south of the equator
whose sovereignty has not been claimed
by some European power 1t Is the val
ley of Marotse, so or 60 miles wide, north
Of I.ialui, in South Africa. And the only
reason why the Marotse, who inhablt
II, have preserved their independence Is
that England and Portugal both claim II.
and therefore the work of civilization
Is at a standstill.
Ii may not be so easy TO conquer the
Marotse when the time comes, for they
are n tall, well set up race, very black
in skim In manners they are very
courteous and in bearing dgnified. Ev-
cry full blooded Marotse Is by birth
right king and takes his place In the
aristocracy OF the empire. In fact, as
every one Is king, there is no head ruler
The bare fact that he is Marotse In
sures the respect of the subservient tribes,
and as he grows TO manhood q sense OF
superiority usually implants in the ma
tive the dignity of self respect. All the
labor is done by slaves who have been
captured from neighboring tribes.-Cin'
