MARTYR TO SCIENCE.
Tries to Get tuberculosis to Prove
His Pet Theory.
French Doctor believes That Con-
sumption Can he Transferred
from Cows to Human Beings
and Inoeulates Himself

Paul Garbault, a young and promis-
Ing French physician, has placed his
life in the balance in order to prove
or disprove theory. He does not be-
lieve with Robert Koch, the eminent
German scientist doctor, that the
tuberculosis of men and animals is so
widely different that neither can be in
oculated with tubercular germs taken
from the other, and in order that the
world may know which is right Gar
hault has taken step which he be-
Heves may end his life.
Unlike most persons who offer them
selves upfor the benefit of science, Gar
bault has gone into the matter from a
positive standpoint Heretofore, when
scientists have been DESTROYS of prov
ing that such a condition is, or is not
true, they have taken up the problem
on it's negative side, and have shown
how various contagious and infectious
diseases cannot be acquired. Thus the
subjects upon whom the experiments
are performed are reasonably sure of
passing through the ordeal and coming
out safely enough. But Garbault oc-
cupies another position. He believes
1t is. possible for man to contract con-
sumption by incubation from bovines.
Soon after DR.. Koch had conclusively
proved one-half of his claim by demon
strating that cows inoculated with
germs of human tuberculosis would
not become infected with the disease,
Garbault, who wasintensely interested
in the experiment, offered himself as
subject to test the validity of the
other part of the clsim-that the same
results would>be obtained by inoculat-
ing human being with bovine tuber-
culosis. DIR. Koch was too conscien-
tiouS to burden his soul with any
such experiments, for, while be was
convinced of the truth of his conclu-

MIGHTY MEAN DEAL.
Engineered by the Champion Mean
Woman of Washington.
Her Dearest Enemy Got the Dress She
Wanted Herself and Then She
Bought Another to Get
Even with Her.

The address of the champion mean
woman of Washington doesn't make
any difference, but for the sake of con-
venience she is designated in this story
as Mrs. Gethunk, by the Washington
Star.
Mrs. Gethunk's dearest feminine
enemy is another young matron who
lives next door in the same row of
houses. Mrs. Howsad viii about fit
her for the purposes of this narrative.
A few weeks ago Washington de-
partment store exhibited for sale in
one of its windows couple of Paris
model" pale blue pique dresses. They
Were mighty tidy looking affairs, both
of the dresses. One of them was q
little more elaborate as to the bottom
OF the skirt than the other, but they
were both distinctly handsome and
stylish, and, being samples, they were
marked at q sacrifice figure.
= Oddly enough, Mrs. Gethunk and
Mrs Howsad, next door neighbors and
make a dead heat of it in getting into
The department store after those
gowns. They both wanted the one
with the more elaborate trimming
around the bottom of the skirt.
The wrangle waged pretty fiercely,
but as Mrs. Howsad had crossed the
wire, as it were, just fraction of a
second ahead OF Mrs. Gethunk, she got
che slightly more desirable gown.
Mrs. Gethunk must have framed her
little scheme up then and there, for
she took the other pique dress.
But she didn't wear It. She watched
Tor Mrs. Howsad to emerge with hers.
and she was bound to confess to her
eelf when Mrs. Howsad did appear

Lily executed the appropriate grin
of delight, which changed to ecstacy
when Mrs. Gethunk brought the un-

to her room and tried the dress on.

Garbault, however was not so easily
satisfied. He argued that the world
should know wherein DIR. Koch's ar
guments were correct and wherein
they were lacking in fact. He was
young, in perfect health, had received
the degree OF doctor of natural scion
ces, and had held the position of
chief of the researches in zoology
and comparative anatomy at the Uni
versity of Bordeaux. Therefore when
he offered himself TO DR.. Koch for
purposes OF demonstration there was
perceptible stir among medical
men. DR.. Koch consistently refused
to consider the offer and Garbault
continued his investigation to show
that the theory of the German scien-
fist with reference 10 tuberculosis
inocuiation was incorrect. When he
offered himself to science he was firm
ly convinced that he would catch the
disease and in all probability could
not be cured. He spent a year or
more In further research of cases of
tuberculosis with the avowed purpose
of refuting the Koch thesis.
Even then he was not satisfied.
he still believed that practical test
should be made, yet he was not will
ing 20 ask for or accept volunteers.
so in order that the world might be
made the wiser he determined that
he himself should carry out the ex-
pertinent which DIR. Koch had refused
to attempt. With this end in view
he gathered about him several emf
nent French physicians, and with
them went to the great butcher shops
of La Villette in Paris to carry out
the demonstration.

the sanitary inspectors of the stock
yards because it was infected with
the disease. At the same time q frag-
ment of the ganglion was taken to
be applied to another animal. Thus
Garbault incoulated his blood with
the deadly germs of tuberculosis and
exposed himself to q terrible death

Telephone party lines have their
amusements as well as their discom-

a neighbor across the way it is the
greatest temptation in the world for
some women quietly to take down
the receiver and hear what is going
on. One woman who has been quite
annoying to the other people on her
party line got a lesson the other
day she will doubtless remember. The

MRS. CRAIGHEAD ON
CHILD LABOR LEGISLATION.

Mrs. Erwin Craighead, one of the most
prominent and influential club women In
the Alabama Federation of Women 5
Clubs, writes the following from Stone
wall Plantation, Mississippi, where she
has spent the summer.
My Dear Mrs. de Cottes:
After some delay The Montgomery Ad-
vertiser of October 18th has caught up
with me in my travels.
l do not know whether any other Club
woman has replied to the communication
in that issue from s. j. l.. L., but it
gives me pleasure to be able to say off,
cially that the Shakespeare Club of Mo-
bile is heartily in favor of legislation
regulating and restricting child labor in
Alabama.
1t is the opinion of this Club, and
feel sure l need not hesitate to include
the other federated clubs of Mobile, the
Century, Book and Pathfnders, in this
expression, that the Alabama Federation
of Women's Clubs Is twice pledged, by
it's action at the annual conventions of
1901 and 1902, not only to work for some
form of legislation in regard to child
labor in our State, but to support the
particular bill-in it's present form-whose
passage was defeated at the last session
of our Legislature, by lobby generally
reported to have been headed by some
of the biggest mill men in the State.

ing proved it to be dependable and not
