Inherited Consumption.

Inherited Consumption.
Some people think that because
their parents died with consumption,
they are doomed by the same plague.
! This is not So Cases of inherited
consumption are very rare. The real
reason why so many in family suf-
fer from tuberculosis is to be found
elsewhere than in heredity.
The afflicted member does not know
the necessity for personal cleanliness.
for religiously collecting and burning
all matter spit up. The use of the
ordinary pocket handkerchief and the
washing of it in the family laundry
is constant source of danger. Rice
paper handkerchiefs or old linen
should be used and then burned.
The person himself is almost harm
less. 1t Is only the lack of care In
scattering the genus that makes him
a dangerous companion. These bad
practices are usually due to ignorance.
1t is not necessary to isolate the pa
tient for the protection of the family.
Each person not affected should
breathe fresh air, exercise out OF
doors, eat simple food. battle daily
and sleep eight hours each night.
This will increase the body's vital
power and resist the deadly genus
which may be breathed in. The rest
of the family being thus fortified, the
patient should cooperate in the pro-
lection.
Let him study to prevent the germs
from being scattered broadcast
through the house. Then let all CO.
operate in the fresh air cure of the
patient, and he may live in peace and
pleasure, gradually fighting his way
back to health, and in no way dan
gerous to his friends.
When every consumptive intelli-
gently co-operates with the family
and physician, the day of inherited
consumption" will be passed.

,Nioht Air and Consumption.

The old fallacy that night air is a
dangerous mlasm it not yet dead.
Much has been said about fresh air,
outdoor life and sunshine for tubercu-
losis. Many victims have experienced
the healing power in these natural
agencies. But too often the consump-
tive, after a day in the sunshine or
fl the cold. crisp winter air, retires
for a nights sleep in dark, stuffy,
alright room. Don't be afraid of
night air.
Open the bedroom to all the sun
possible during the day. The room
will then be dry, though cold. Damp
ness is dangerous and more apt to &C.
cur in a closed than in wide.open
room. Keep at least one window in
the bedroom open day and night, sum-
mer and winter The door should shut
the chamber off from the rest of the
house. In the morning the patient
should be. taken quickly into a warm
room for the cold sponge bath.

environment, may develop thief.
Criminals for the most part con-
sst of children who have never been
trained or whose training has been
bad. Statistics show that one-third Of
10000 boys and girls who constitute
the child population Of the prisons
and reformatories of the United
States, and the 10000 or more Of
Great Britain, are largely made up of
orphans or half-orphans.
"These boys and girls are left to
run the streets like community cats
and dogs. Like other members of
the animal creation, they are moved
by physical impulses. chiefly self-rela-
tive in character, and by these influ-
ences are led on from truancy to
vaGrancy, theft and other crimes
against property, and finally to crimes
against the person. Having never
been taught self-restraint, they are
practically savages, but are deprived
of most of the advantages enjoyed by
savages, and so sink below the level
of the ordinary savage. The worst
savages to-day are to be found, not

Spring planting of strawberries

1904 and the last three, give me late
summer and fall planting. My spring
plants were put on clean ground, but
rains came on and made it too wet
to go upon with horse and cultivator,
but weeds grew like magic. Being
busy with more pressing work, they
had to be hoed or given to the weeds.

would have to be neglected, 1t would
cost more than the berries would

The Only Safeguard Against Tubercu-
loSs.

tuberculosis is low-evel disease.
People are not subject to it until their
bodies have become weakened and
their whole constitution undermined.
II used to be thought that one could
not have tuberculosis if only he ex-
ercised his lungs. A man who had
this disease went to a professor in
Vienna for advice. The professor
said, "You had better get a horn and
learn to play It. to exercise your
lungs" "Alas, professor" answered

The committee appointed by the

at the club rooms yesterday after
noon and organized for business.
Sub committees were appointed to
carry out all the details aud these

Third and Fourth streets fo- farm
products and there will also be
booths in which merchants may
display their goods.
1t was the general opinion that
large premiums should be offered
on corn, cotton, wheat, alfalfa and
substantial premiums on garden
products, dairy products, jellies,
preserves, poultry, etc. The live
stock premiurss will probably be
limited to horses, mules, sheep
and nogs, the Oklahoma quaran-
tine laws making a cattle exhibit
unpracticable. Invitations will be
extended to all farmers in the
country tributary to Chickasha to
bring their products. The COM
mittee on premiums will have the
list prepared in tew days.
Definite arrangements for the
Parker Amusement Co.. for the
week have been made, for the

FAVOR SINGLE STATEHOOD
Idea is Very Popular With Intelligent
Indians

Guthrie, Oklr.. Sept. I2-The
single statehood idea is still very
popular among the more intelligent
Indians Ill the Choctaw and Chick
asaw nation, and the bluff conven-
ton at Muskogee is now regarded
as huge joke. The question of
single or double statehood has re-
solved itself down to the joint
statehood movement with Oklaho-
ma, and men wAo have made a
careful study of the matter assert
this fact. Speaking of the preseI t
feeling among the Indians i'll In
dain Territory ]. B. Dickinson Of
Davis, who is believed to be auth
ority on the Indain situation, was
here yesterday and said: There
can be no question as to the real
sentiments of intelligent Indians in
my part of the country, and | am
frank to say that the Muskogee
meeting did not represent FIVE per
cent of the Indians who are suppos-
ed to be in hearty accord with
double statehood.
II have interviewed scores of
our leading Indians and intermar-
ried citizens during the past two
weeks and find them practically
unit on joint statehood with Ok
lrhoma. While in Oklahoma City

seut out letters to several hundred
delegates and their replies are all
in favor of the plau proposed in
that convention. He futher says
that there are more Indians who
atte nded the Oklahoma City con-
vention than there were at the
Muskogee affair. He says the af-
fair was a great frost from start to
finish and was engineered by a
small click of Muskogeeites who
hoped to prolong the present
chaotic rule of the interior depart

entire east half of the business

about fifteen business houses.
The FIRE started about 5 o'clock
aud was caused by. the explosion
of a gasoline lamp in the ante
room of the / o. 0. f. Hall, over
Benefits store. Instantly the en-
tire room was in flames. The
lodge was in session but all made
their escape. Famed by breeze
from the southwest, the flames
quickly spread and could not be
checked til the entire row of frame
buildings was consumed. livery
body turned out to fight the fire
and ii required desperate exertion
to save the remainder OF the town.
Many had time to remove their
goods, only to have them burned
in the streets. Everything from
Mart's saloon to Conrad's store
was burned to the ground.
1t is estimated that the total
loss will exceed $50, 900 while the
insurance is probably half Of that
amount. 1t was a terrible blow
to the town but the people are not
discouraged. Already they are
making plans for rebuilding and in
many cases brick and cement
buildings will be erected in place of
the frame structures destroyed.

The Milk in the Udder.

see the statement that normal
milk drawn from the healthy COW con.
talns no germs. In the light of certain
investigation, this statement is moi
upheld. 1t was an early theory that
milk contained germs only after il
had left the udder 1t was therefore
assumed that if milk could be drawn
without being contaminated by germs
in the air, or in the utensils, it would
keep almost Indefinitely. The demon
stratlon Of this was of course almos,
Impossible, because in practical opera
ton milk could not be drawn from the
udders without being contaminated
by the air and without being put into
vessels that had also been exposed to
unsterilized air. The scientists, for a
while, accepted the belief that milk in
the udder was free from germs. but
later Investigations show that this was
not the case. At least in some of the
experiments made it has been shown
that in many cases germs are to be
found in normal milk produced by
healthy COWS. Most of these germs
are in the fore milk, which is the milk
first drawn from the udder. The germs
decrease in number as the milk is
drawn, until the milk drawn last is
practically free from the germ life.
That germs find their way into the nd.
der is recognized by producers of first
class milk. These generally draw the
milk from the teat.; and keep it sep.
arate. rather than to permit it to go
into the milk that is to be used in
commercial distribution.
