What tuberculosis Is.

From the Reader.
Isn't 1t about time for the general public
to know what berculosis-consumptio
really Is?
The tubercle bacillus is the cause. and
the disease is infectious; that is, can be
conveyed directly or indirectly from one in
divldual TO another. 1t invades every organ
and tissue of the body and can be acquired
at any period of life Infants are very sus-
ceptible to 1t, but in them the lungs usually
escape while other parts succumb. Old per-
sons are comparatively immune. Early
adult life offers the greatest danger, but 1t
Is stated by investigators who have exam
ned human dead bodies with modern
methods, that each one of US has at some
earlier age been attacked in some structure,
although only a healed scar is leff to bear
witness of this universally of the disease.
This healed scar also demonstrates that tu-
berculosis can be cured.
When the disease shows itself In the
adult the lungs most frequently suffer, and
then Ii is called consumption. tuberculosis
Is the cause of over one-elghth of the
deaths IN the United States. In the east
the proportion has been slowly increasing,
keeping step with the growth and over
crowding of our large cities.
But still there Is the lament that con-
sumption runs in the family! This is not
so! To be sure there may be a delicate
1t is the iniquity of the environment that
runs in the family. Far better have the
tendency TO consumption and live in the
open than be of robust constitution and be
obliged to absorb the impurities from the
saturation of a tenement house.

Destiny Worked Out South.

In fact, the leaders of the negro. with
singular unanimity, agree that the destiny
of their people must be worked out in the
south and upon the soil. Hence, the ques-
tior of white competition in the south be-
comes one of paramount importance.
Mr.. Stone quoted at considerable length
from statistical data gathered by himself,
showing the comparative results obtained
by negroes and Italians growing cotton
side by side The figures covered a series
of years and showed that when the two
classes worked under Identical conditions,
on the same plantation, the Italian ac-
complished very much more than the
negro both in the amount of cotton pro-
duced and in the matter of saving what
he earns.
Mr.. Stone says that the ability of the
white foreigner successfully to grow cot
ton in competition with the negro is no
longer a matter of question or expert
nent. AS to the extent to which they will
come into the south and supplant the
negro he does not express an opinion, but
thinks 1t will largely depend on the negro
himself
If the latter continues to invite such
competition by his improvidence and I'M
reliability. unquestionably it will come.
When it does come there seems to be
nothing In such q situation to prevent a
repetition of the disastrous results al
ready witnessed in the north.
