PREVENTABLE
AND Durable
MEDICAL OFFICER b IG GS'
STATEMENT REGARDING
TUBERCULOSIS.

New York, July l7-"Thousands,
tens of thousands Of people die because
their physicians have not the moral
courage to say to them: This is tn
berculosis, and now is the time to
take precautions.
Such was the statement made by
Medical Officer Biggs, Of the health
department, in an address before the
summer school in philanthropic work,
conducted by the Charity organiza-
tons Society.
"In the case Of sutopsies in New
York hospitals which have come under
my knowledge" he continued, fully
60 per cent had, some time in their
lives, tuberculosis. OF these, a little
more than half died Of that disease.
The remainder had recovered, and in
many had not known of its existence
in their systems. A third of those
who die in our hospitals die OF con-
sumption. In one of the older cities
of Europe the proportion is much
greater.
1.-THE tubercular bacilli do not mul-
tiply outside the system. They tend
to die. Infection is by the original
bacillus, If at all. Large numbers are
quickly destroyed. Direct sunlight
destroys them quickly; daylight in
time. The danger is in damp, dark
rooms.
tuberculosis is an absolutely pre-
ventable disease. 1t is not only pre-
ventable, but durable. 1t is simply a
question of how early a diagnosis is
made. II it can be made at the begin
ming so per cent at least of the cases
are durable if placed in pure atmos-
phere."

BRIEF ILLNESS AT HER
HOME HERE.

Mrs. II. A. Rose, wife Of the well
known lumberman, died this morning

less came as great blow TO her many
friends in Paducsh.
The deceased formerly lived in
Grand Chain, ILL.,, and was 2s years
old. She was married five years ago,
and had resided in Paducah three
years. She was lady beloved by all
who knew her, and her loss will be
keenly felt. She leaves besides her
husband. little daughter and niece
whom she was raising. She was a
consistent member of the Baptist
church, and a faithful Christian
worker.
The funeral will take D lace tomor-
row afternoon at 4 O'Clock, burial at

MORE MULES NEEDED.
BRITISH WILL RENEW SHIP.
MENTS FROM NEW ORLEANS
TO SOUTH AFRICA.

New Orleans, La, July 17-Tele-
graphic information was received in
this city last evening that W. j. Han
non, the we'll known shipwright, who
has been in England some little time.
and Captain Marshall Of the British
army were on their way to New Or
leans. This means that the British
have decided to renew the shipments
Of stock from the United States to
South Africa through the port Of New
Orleans. Reports to this effect were
received at Chalmette the other day,
when a request came asking that the
stalls and quarters Of the herses and
mules be left intact. That Mr.. Han
non has been in England working for
the restoration of the traffic through
this port has been an open secret
among local shippers. Captain Mar
shall was in charge Of the mule bust
ness in the United States for eighteen
months, and If he has been ordere d
back here it can mean only one thing
"a restoration of the big trade in
mules. Thousands of mules, horses
and cattle will be needed to restock
the farms of the burghers, and it will
require year or more to do the work.

Bisbee daily review., 1902-07-02

As was imperative in region where the first necessity of life is noy land. but water, the law decrees that the beneficial use of water shall be the basis of rights to it. In "-., .. ords, il will not be pc .'r hereafter for spectators - .'''. up vast areas of the public domain and wait for the work of others to make them valuable.
 Irrigated or irrigable lands will be sold only to those who will use them. As far as possible the opportunity for men to profit by the unearned incre- ment of their neighbors toll has been cut off
 The law might have been improved by denying it's benefits to states which neglect to modify their lana laws u conform to the doctrine of beneficial use of water. Only Wyoming, among the many states affected. has a really scientific and equitable irrigation code The laws of some of the other states are a positive impeachment to home making. and an encouragement to speculation. It would seem advisable for congress at the beginning to have insisted upon the change of such laws.
 But with all it's defects the irriga- tion act is distinct step forward and a good beginnings- Its operations will necessarily be slow. It may be half a century before water is brought to all the irrigable lands. But the results will be of ever-increasing benefcence
 Irrigation of these arid lands will not only provide homes for millions, but will largely protect the region east ward against drought. On the whole, the irrigation law is likely to pass into history as the wisest legislation of the present congress"

THE COURSE OF MR. BRYAN.

Many democrats who admire Vim
 J. Bryan, bcause of his known hon esty and sincere advocacy of the ! principles which he believes are es sential to the success of government, , and happiness and prosperity of the people, regret very much to see the determined coures he is pursuing in making war on every prominent dem ocrat who differs with him on what should be the future party policy. All democrats should agree that the evils of government now prominent in our government affairs are directly trace able to the policies of the republican party, which has been in almost con- tinuous power since the civil war. If this agreed then the paramount na- essity is to bring the democrats of the country to action for the overthrow Of the republican party. The greatest danger now threatening the very ex- istence of our government is the in- creasing power of the trusts; the trusts were made possible only by the protective policy of republicans. This policy is growing more unpopular with all classes; the people have at last realized that high tariff has built up the infant industries" of this country, for which the republicans plead 50 long, into monstrous monopolies of trade to crush out competition in trade and maintain exorbitant prices for every necessity.
 Conditions have made the tariff is- sue for tn coming congressional cleo uons and also for 1904, unless the re- publicans themselves provide a reme- dy for this growing evil. There should be no opposition to democrats advocating return of the democratic party to the fight for tariff reform. worse needed now than ever before in our history. Mir Bryan can accom- plish nothing by his spit-fire policy of criticising the action of every dem. ocratic state convention which fails to pursue the course which seems best to him.
