The Fight Against Consumption

The Fight Against Consumption.
Great comfort is to be derived from
The census figures relative to the NOR
lality rates for the last few years. II
appears from these statistics that tu-
berculosis is causing a markedly
smaller percentage of deaths at present
than formerly, indicating a certain de-
gree of success in the fight against the
great white plaugue" which is being
waged In all parts of this country.
The statistics unfortunately cover only
ten of the states and 334 cities, owing
TO the lack of organized systems OF
recording and reporting in all parts
of the United States. These states are
Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Massa-
rhusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Yer
mont, and these, together with the
cities in other states which carefully
preserve death records constitute a
population of $4,000, 900, or two-ffths
Of that of the United States. Accord
ing W IuO ICLul uS LlOlh thCoS oOuiS
the latest calculable rate of mortal
Ity from consumption was 172.6 ner
100000 of population. In 1890 the rate
was 245.4. This diminution, says the
Washington Star, is likely to progress
more rapidly in the future, for most
of the work Of public education in
combating the disease has been done
during the last decade, and is largely
fundamental. The good result Of the
local propaganda in behalf Of clean
living, good, fresh air, thorough sani-
tation, and, to a certain extent, segre-
cation Of consumptives, is just begin.
ming to be felt. The warfare against
consumption is proceeding along two
broad lines, prevention and cure. The
former is being waged by both physi-
clans and laymen, and is an educa-
tional work. The latter is strictly
scientific and the results are less dis
tinct, because they are observable
chiefly by the members of the medical
profession. The real problem Of to-
day lies in teaching the people two
prime facts-that consumption is COM
municable and that its communication
can be prevented by the observance Of
certain simple rules of hygiene and
cleanliness.

Owed Food and Clothinr

While the use of coal tar chemicals
IN our food is being gradually sup
pressed, they are playing more con-
SpiCuous role in the manufacture Of
our apparel. 1t was toward the end
Of the last decade that the Germans
began to make the artificial indigo
which has almost driven the natural
product from the market. A more re-
cent discovery is that of red indigo,
made by Prof. Friedlander in Vienna.
Chemically, this new substance is al
most identical with blue indigo; the
firm that manufactures it has given
1t the name of theoindigorot (theion
being the Greek name for sulphur, one
of the ingredients). The most inter
esting fact relating to it is that it has
been found to be Identical with the
Tyrian purple of the ancients, which,
according to Pliny, the Phoenicians
made out of sea shell. This was &c
expensive that it cost $500 in modern
money to color one kilogram of wool
To-day, the garments once honopo
liked by Roman emperors are worn by
Austrian cavalrymen, and the German
army is preparing to make use oil
theiondigorot in order to deepen the
color of certain uniforms. Women
also, are already benefiting by the re-
discovery of "Tyrian purple" The
red indigo is made in various shades
from deep pomegranate to the most
delicate colors to garments of diverse
material, including even calico.

4 New Internal Revenue
 Ruling.

The Peruna manufacturers have decided that they dc not wish to pay liquor tax, nor have their product listed as an intoXi- eating beverage to be sold only by druggists holding liquor H. eense. Consequently they have added some drugs "of laxative aud medicinal qualities to what Is designated by board of health analyst as cheap cocktail" by so doing they saved themselves the expense of the internal reven- ue tax, for that was to be impos- ed only upon such preparations as had not sufficient medicinal in- gredients as to materially change the character of the alcoholic liquor.
 A new ruling has therefore been issued by Commissioner Yerks removing Pernna from the list of medicines which had not medicinal character. IL is neces- sary that ". C. T. U. workers be informed of this change as, other wise, they would wonder how 1t is that this preparation continues to be sold by druggists not carry ing d liquor license.
 AS Peruna worked such marve- lous 'cures" when simply q cock tail, what may not be expected of it now that it has had added to it some drugs of laxative and medicinal qualitieszs Surely every sick person r America should now be '.cured'' and that right speedily.
 Does any one know how tie people, protesting to be Chris tians and total abstainers, who extoIled the wonderful healing powers of Peruna. felt after it was announced to be an intoXica- ting beverage and not, properly  speaking, a medicinez Why are so many ". (. T. U. members still so indifferent to the great need of helping the people to un- derstand the danger of resorting to secret medicines in times of weakness and disease! Is 1t that many are themselves deceived by these medicines?
 The department Of Medical Temperance has sufficient range of literature to educate every N. (. T. |. member so that she might become power in removing from the public mind the old superstitions regard ing the efficacy of alcoholic liquors as medicines, and the amazing credulity which makes 50 many victims for the manufac- turers of secret nostrums.

Chinatown is Unmasked.

Strange x the scene where San FrancIsco's Chinatown stood. said a refugee who eseap- ed from that eity after the earth quake. No heap of smoking ruins marks tie site of wooden warrens where the slant eyed men of the Orient dwelt in thousands. The place k pitted= with deep holes and scared with dark passage ways from whose depths come smoke wreaths. Ali the wood has gone and the wind Is streak ing tile ashes.
 While men never knew the depths Of China town : underground city, they often talked of these subterranean runways and many of them had gone beneath the street levels. two and three stories. But now that Chinatown las been unmask- cd. for tie destroyed buildings were oulya mask. men from the hillside have looked on where it's inner secrets lay. In places they can see passages 10o feet deep.
 "The fire swept this Mongolian section clean. It left no shred of tie painted wooden fabric. It ate down to the bare ground and this lies stark for the breeze> have taken away the light ashes, Joss houses and mission schools, grocery stores and opium dens, gambling hells and theaters all of them went. The buildings blazed up like tissue paper lanterns when the guttering can- dies touched their sides.
 From this place, l, following the fire. saw hundreds of fright crazed yellow men fee. In their arms they bore their opium pipes. their money bags. their silks and their children. Beside them ran the baggy trousered women and  some of them Iobbled palntully.
 But these were the nen and women of the surface. Far be- heath the street levels in those cellars and passage ways we're other lives. Women who never saw the day from their darkened prisons, and blinking jailers were caught like rats in huge trap. Their very bones were eaten by the flames.
 And now there remains only the holes. They pit the hillside like d multitude of ground-swal- low nests. They show depths which the police never knew. The secrets of those burrows will never be known, for into them the hungry fire first sifted it's red coals and then licked eagerly III tongues of creeping flames, ti- na1ly obliteratlng every thing eX- cept the earth itself.
