story Of the particular old woman. and
he makes her a resident of Livermore.
She was not only old, but she was Of
the worrying, fretting species OF antiq-
uity. She had fretted away her friends
and relatives until she was at length
living alone in a small house in the
outskirts of the town. Just as she was
retiring one bitter cold night she dis
covered that but one unlighted match
remained in the house. She lay awake
until almost daylight, worrying and
disturbing herself with wondering if
the match was good. At last she got
up and hunted up the match and struck
it to see if it would light her kindlings
in the morning.-Lewiston (Me) Jour-

Appleton, Wis, Jan. 25.-Much
alarm is felt over the actions of DR.. NJ.
j. Rodermund, local physician,
through which hundreds of persons
have been exposed to smallpox. DR..
Rodermund has long disputed the
germ theory of disease and declared
that no disease is contagious. Last
week one case of smallpox appeared
here.
DR.. Rodermund evidently desiring
to make use of the occurrence in an
effort to prove his theories, went to the
Quarantined house and, as he admits,
exposed himself not only by his pres
ence but by contact with the person
of the patient. He then went to his
house. ate supper with his family and
afterward went to the Business Mems
club, where he stayed several hours.
The next day he went to Green Bay,
where he met several patients and 9th
err persons.
Appleton, Wis, Jan. 2S.-Dr. Roder-
mund, the physician who, to support
his theory that the disease is nom
contagious, deliberately exposed him
self to the smallpox contagion in this
city, broke quarantine Saturday even
