TO COMBAT TUBERCULOSIS
DIR. Kuopf's Essay Bwarded Prize
in Germany,

OF all the ills that flesh is heir to per-
haps few have occupied the minds of
pathologists more than tuberculosis.
How to combat the insidious disease and
prevent its spread among the masses is
the question.
A few years ago this question was
brought into peculiar prominence by
the action of two Berlin merchants.
They We're lay members of an interna-
tional congress called for the study of
tuberculosis, and they offered 1900 marks,
or little less than $1,000, for the best
essay on that subject The most emil
nent physicians in Germany acted as
judges. OF the many essays submitted
26 were set aside for closer examination,
and the judges, presided over by his
Serene Highness the Duke of Ratibor,
unhesitatingly awarded the prize to DR..
S. A. Knopf of New York City, a medi-
cal man not unknown to many in Jersey
City.
Some facts from Dr. Knopp's treatise
will be interesting as well as instructive,
as since local authorities are beginning
to punish splitting in public as pre-
tentative of the spread of consumption.
In it the doctor says that Hippocrates,
who lived AGO to S77 B. c., the most cele-
brated of physicians of old days, de-
scribed pulmonary tuberculosis or con-
sumption as the disease most difficult
to beat and which proves fatal to the
greatest NUMBER Then he tells what
ravages on a PERSONS breathing appar-
atus the tubercle bacilli can infiict. These
minute organisms, the doctor says, can
be breathed into the lungs, ingested with
food and enter the system through a
wound in the skin. OF these three ways
the first one is the most important.
To prevent the spread of consumption
the doctor lays special emphasis on pre-
cautionary measures against expectora-
ton and gives directions for proper yes
sells in public places for those who spit
One thing in the DOCTORS essay will be
news to many 1t was vulgar idea that
alcoholic liquors were a guard against
the tuberculosis bacilli. Not so. Dr.
Knopf says positively that it is the most
active co-operator of the deadly tubercle..
Closing a very able paper, he says that
open air, healthy exercises, cleanliness
and good food are the foes of dread con-

ARSENAL CLEARING.
Useless Old Muskets and
Uniforms to be Sold
By the State.

Quarterma ster General Richard A. Dom
nelly has already received several offers
for the imperfect and unserviceable ord
nance and ordnance stores which it is
proposed to clear out of the State Arsenal
in the near future. The orders issued
Thursday appointing Captain Samuel s.
Armstrong to inspect and condemn such
articles as have become antiauated, will
result in the first general house cleaning
at the arsenal for eight years. That
many years ago $4,000 was realized by
the State from the sale of old ordnance
and supplies, but the present lot to be
disposed of is trivial as compared with
the former lot.
Inspector General Joseph w. Congdon
has already viewed the articles which it
is proposed to sell and it was at his rec
ommendation that the sale was decided
upon. While of little intrinsic value a
market will be found for the old ordnance
among the dealers in old military relics
and the like.
Among the lot is a quantity of old
clothing, blankets and wooden goods The
clothing is of the old pattern used before
the adoption of the new uniforms in
1899. The remainder of the articles en-
brace large variety For example, there
are over two hundred old swords of the
foot artillery, United States non-commis-
stoned officers and masonic non-commis-
stoned officers patterns. There are fifty
cavalry and artillery sabres and a bunch
of sabre knots.
There is a variety of old muskets to be
disposed of and these, with old rifles and
pistols, will possibly form the most valu-
able part of the lot. The muskets include
United States, Enfield, Austrian and Bel
gian makes. Then there are Derringer's s
and Sharps rifles of old patterns. The
revolvers are principally of the old Colts
United States army and navy models of
.3S, "A and AS calibre. Old cavalry sad
dies to the number of twenty-eight and
tnirty-three cavalry brides will be dis
ters, carbine sings and hooks.
Another lot consist of $50 rounds of am
munition for Billinghurst battery, and
10000 spare musket canes. These are
only a few things in the arsenal which
are no longer of service. Among the
others may be mentioned: Bayonet scab-
bards and frogs ball screws and wipes,
spherical bullet moulds, ball cartridges,
cap pouches, cartridge boxes, fuse cutters
gunners' haversacks and pouches, gun
sings, sword belts and plates. toe hooks,
toinpoins, nose bags, howitzer passing
boxes, artillery valises, waist belts and
numerous other articles of like character.

ENGLEWoOD, May II, 19O1.-One wom-
an dead and another woman and two
children seriously i'll is the record made
by one oil stove here. Mrs. Augustus De-
crue, seventy-six years old, was asphyxi-
ated in her home at Palisade Park by gas
from the stove. Her niece, Mrs. Charles
Marshall, and her two children had a
narrow escape from a similar fate and
would have been dead in a few minutes
had not Mr.. Marshall arrived and discov-
cred the plight of the family.
The gas was generated by an oil cook
stove, and as the house was closed tight
ly because of the rain it was soon filled
with gas. 1t is possible that all four
would have been dead had not the oil
burned out before Mr.. Marshall reached
the house.
DR.. Wyckoff worked over Mrs. Marshall
and her two children for three hours be-
fore he could revive them. They are still
very ill.,
