SEEKING SOURCE
OF THE GREAT
WHITE PLAGUE
TUBERCULOSIS ASSOCIATION IN
SESSION AT WASHINGTON.
x-Ray an Important Means of DiscoV.
erine it.-From Man to Man.

> WASHINGTON, May 6.-Tubercu.
losis infection from bovine and other
germs VS.. infection through human
germs was discussed at length today
at the meeting of the National Asso-
citation of the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis, in third annual ses-
sion here. The question was not set
tied and the proposition was mooted
of appointing a committee to continue
their study of that subject Several
papers were read and a general dis
cussion followed each.
DR.. Charles Hunter Dunn, of Bos-
ton. had for his subject Recent Ad-
vanees in the knowledge of Tuber-
culosis in Children" He said in
early life tuberculosis did not affect
the lungs as it did in the case of
the adult, but frequently remained hid
den in the internal glands in children
until an acute form of tuberculator
meningitis or pneumonia caused
death.
Coming to the sources of tubercular
infection he mentioned the various
theories that it was congenital, due to
dust or moist sputum, and said that
while there was truth in all of them,
the commonest source was house con-
tagion from tubercular surroundings.
In the. order of frequency, he said, tu-
berculosis entered the body through
the lungs, through the intestines or
the tonsils and the pharynx
and then locates itself in the nearest
glands In diagnosing latent forms
Of the disease he said that the X-ray
was the most important means of dis
covering it.
DR.. Henry L. X. Shaw, of Albany,
n. Y, in discussing the question, "The
Present Status of the Transmissibility
If Bovine tuberculosis as Illustrated
~ Infants and Young Children" ar
yued that the usual method of acquir
ng the disease was through the con-
agion of man to man and not through
milk and other foods. /,

WILL MAKE
MOBILE DECENT
City Will Put Stop to Mard Gras
Shams.

At an open meeting of a committee
of the general council of Mobile, held
in the council chamber last night
says the Mobile Register, decision
was reached to report favorably the
ordinance recently introduced by AL
derman E. w. Faith to prevent the
masking of women and their visiting
bar rooms during Mardi Gras.
The decision was reached after the
ordinance had been discussed at some
length by persons interested, during
which it was made very clear that the
next carnival in Mobile will be a clean
affair, free from such scenes during
the last day of the last carnival as
were characterized by one of the
speakers last night as disgusting and
shameful" Not only did a committee
representing the Ministers union urge
that the carnival be cleansed. but the
stand was taken by Chairman Monk
and other members of the carnival
association, for clean carnival. With
the latter, it seemed to be a matter of
doubt as to finances should the Faith
ordinance finally get through the
council
Mayor Lyons did not reach the
council chamber until the meeting
was concluding, but he remarked to a |
party of friends that he would see to
t that the indecent masking of women
md their visits to saloons would be
prohibited, even IL he should have mo

Contact With Explorers and Traders
Leads to Moral and Physical Decay

Whites.

There won't be an Eskimo living

petitions cease. Such, says the
i Cleveland Plain Dealer, is the dec
laration in New York the other DAY
of Dr. w. T. Grenfell, who has lately
become known to all the world by his
laborous and heroic work as a mis-
sionary among the Labrador natives.
Without going into particulars, DR..
Grenfell's views may be summed up
by saying that whenever and wherev-
er the natives have come in contact
with the white explorers and with the
traders who follow the explorers
track. they have become demoralized,
morally and physically and have
been made victims of the vices which
the whites have taught them.
Here, as in many other quarters
of the globe, the white mans bur
den seems to be one which the white
man imposes The story has been
much the same. From the Arctic
seas to the islands of the Pacific, and
from the first contact of Europeans
with the savages of both hemispheres,
the latter have been decimated by the
white mans vices perhaps as fire.

When he cut up at school the school
master could fog him, and the only
result was that he took more pains
