Overcoming Hereditary tuberculosis

Overcoming Hereditary tuberculosis.
Much is being said nowadays re-
specting the out-of-door treatment of
tuberculosis, a disease which, while
rarely directly transmissible by hered-
ity. is one the predisposition to which
is in the highest degree hereditary.
1t has been clearly shown by numer-
Gus experiments in various parts of
the United States that out-of-door life
with regular hygienic habits. ire
spective of altitude or special cIimat-
ic advantages, is capable of so aiding
the natural powers of the body as to
effect a cure of this formidable mall
ady without the use of drugs of any
sort.
tuberculosis is disease of civiliza-
ton. 1t scarcely exists among saw
ages who live in the primitive state,
but quickly appears among such PEG
pie when the habits of civilization are
adopted. especially the indoor life.
The South American monkey and the
North American Indian alike fall vic
tins to this disease when shut away
from the sunhgh. and active exercise
out of doors.
The time is not far distant when
every large city will find it necessary
to provide conveniences for the APP
plicatlon of this simple curative meas
ure. not only for the purpose Of rescu-
ing the victims of pulmonary tubcr-
culosis from the certain fate which
awaits them. but as an essential
measure for protecting the public
health.

oecupatIon and TubercuIosis.

The influence of occupation as a
cause of consumption is shown by DR..
]. M. French in the Medical Exam
liner.
At least four classes of employ
ments ments have a tendency to favor
the development of tuberculosis.
They are:
1. Sedentary employments in i'll
ventilated apartments. involving con-
fnement in impure air. and other I'M
wholesome conditions. This class of
occupations is typifed by the so
called swet-shops for the manufacture
of various articles of clothing.
2. Employments which necessitates
the inhalation of irritating dust and
noxious vapors. Such are those of
stone-cutters, bleachers. matchmak-
ers, ile-cutters, grinders. engravers,
etc.
8. Employments which involve the
oyeruse or abuse of certain muscles.
These are athletes, prize fighters,
gymnasts, wrestleTs. professional BIZ
cycle riders, ball players. etc, large
proportion of whom die eventually of
phthisis.
T. Employments which involve I'M
due familiarity with intoxicants.
These are those connected with man
ufacture and sale of wine, beer and
the various classes of alcoholics.
Tatham's tables show that. taking the
average mortality from consumption
at one hundred, that of publicans is
one hundred and forty, of brewers one
hundred and forty-eight and of bar
tenders two hundred and tifty-seyen.

Birds on Hats Barred in Missouri

New York soubrettes who strike st.

hats before crossing the Eads bridge.
Gov. Folk. of Missouri. has signed
the Walmsley act. under the provisions
of which women are permitted 10 dec
crate their hats with birds of only a
few species. BY the enforcement OF
the law many thousands of dollars
worth of forbidden feathers and bird
bodies in wholesale and retail stores in
Kansas City. St. Joseph and St. Louis
will become contraband. Only the
feathers of domestic birds. such as os-
triches. chickens and ducks. may be
used, while the wild birds allowed mil
liners are confined TO English spar
rows. hawks. horned owls and crows.
The section of the bill applying TO
birds used in millinery provides that
no person shall catch or have in his
possession. living or dead, any wild
bird or purchase, offer or expose for
sale. transport or ship. within or with
out the state, any prohibited wild bird
after it has been killed or caught.
The law plainly prohibits a woman
from wearing into the street a hat
bearing a prohibited bird. The hat
may be the only one she has. but I'M
less she cares to face fine of from $25
up. she must leave il outside the Dor
ders. Women will have to consider
their toilets before they visit Mis-
souri,. or find themselves reckoned
with the criminal classes.
The law even prohibits the passing
through the state of prohibited dec
orations. and no doubt the interstate
commerce law will be appealed to. in

DRAWBACKS TO CIVIC RIGHTEOUSNESS

In the two greater cities of the Atlantic SLOPE New
York and Philadelphia agitation progressing line
that interests all American communities. It is the cor
ruption in the two municipal governments, which is
described in each case more rank than ever before
In Philadelphia which has reputation for strait
laced moral goodness, the political conditions are re-
ported having reached an unbearabe stage. The
various religious bodies have Joined in effort to
the city, and from them the lamentation, Can
silent and simultaneous prayers from 100000 hearts,
backed up by the exhortations of army of Jealous
clergymen, avail to smash the political machine?"
New York is bracing to confront the same situation
that Philadelphia to wall but the method is
radically different The bigger city is not much given
to reliance prayer in questions Of great public mo-
ment Not that the general efficacy of prayer Is ignored
in New York, for there are hundreds of jealous re-
gous congregations in that city, but the idea prevails
that faith if it hath works is dead" Along with
Philadephias reputation for moral goodness is its repu
atlon for many years of being the most corrupt m-
nicipality in the United States.
The present situation in New York. according to the
general expression of opinion by men who know
whereof they affirm that the condition of municipal
affairs is than it has been at time since
the downfall of the Tweed ring instead Of relying
upon the power of prayer for deverance from the con
ditions complained Of the New Workers are undertake
ing with the leadership of ndefagable district at
torney reach by legal the root of corruption
and to turn the rascals out"
New York and Philadelphia, however, present a con-
dton that seems to prevail in varying degree in most
American cities. The only difference between the
greater and the smaller cities in this respect is in
the magnitude of the schemes for enrichng politicians
the expense of the community in which they operate.
The field for municipal rascality broad in proper
ton the size of the city, but the graft bacillus
pears be working for all it is worth in most of them.
In New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and every
other American city the people thereof getting just
the kind of municipal government that they deserve,
The Herald has heretofore declared 1t is sheer folly
to expect prayer to bring good political results when
both religious and nonreligious citizens indif
terent as strike blow for civic righteousness
at the only point where it be efective-at the

JAPANESE IN CALIFORNIA

The approaching close of the Russian-Japanes war
affords a fresh theme for discussion in the California
press Several prominent newspapers of the state
considering the possibility of great influx of Japanese
to California directly after the termination of the war
There has been agitation of the question during
the last two growing out of the employment of
Japanese labor in the fruit industries, but that resulted
chiefly from local broader line of objection
to such immigration is marked out The yellow
peril" is brought the front and the of Chi
cheap labor many recalled with init
nations that repetition of such danger is imminent
now.
The assumption that Japanese will crowd into the
United States after the closes bugbear.
There will be large emigration from the mikados
crowded islands, but it will be westward, not eastward
Korea will be the first objective of that emigration and
Manchura will be next. Those two countries alb
all the surplus of Japans population for the next
hundred years
The Japanese will prefer to "go west" rather than
the United States for several First Korea
is regarded by intelligent Japanese their remote
fatherland There is historical evidence which
base that conclusion but the of Japan the
Asiatc mainland by the Korean peninsula the break
being only about fifty miles, points to the where
by Japan peopled in prehistoric times. Korea will
be under the suzerainy of Japan 1t will be developed
by Japanese labor and capital afording wide field for
prosperous conditions
The same is true of Manchuria, which the Japanese
will colonize and probably dominate, Notwithstanding
its restoration to the Chinese
Even if a much larger volume of Japanese immigra-
ton should flow the United States after the than
has lately been coming it will involve no menace to
American labor. The California labor market will as
simulate only much of the foreign kind neces
sary to supply the demand. Beyond that point there
will be employment for the mkados subjects, and
that situation would quickly stop the of immigra
ton.
1t will be time enough to become uneasy about a
Japanese tidal wave when there is show of cause for
uneasness.
