FIGHTING THE GREAT WHITE
PLAGUE.

As an incident Of the far-rcaching
efforts being made throughout the
country to extoterminatc tuberculosis
the instruction card circulated by the
health department of New York city
is of peculiar value to individuals
While the scientists are pondering
the graver phases of the problem. in
diyiduals can assist greatly by Oh
serving these instructions.
To avoid consumption:
Don't live, study, or sleep in rooms
where there is no fresh air
Don't live in dusty air. Get rid Of
dust by hopping with damp cloths
Don't sweep with a dry broom.
Keep one window partly open IN
your bed room at night and air the
room two or three times day
Don't eat with soilcd hands. Wash
them first.
Don't put hands or pencils in
mouth or any candy or chewing gum
other persons have used.
Don't keep soilcd napIierchicfs
in your pocket.
Take a warm bath at least once n
week.
To those who have contracted con
sumption:
Don't waste your money on patent
medicines. If you go TO a doctor in
time you can be cured.
Don't drink whiskey or any other
form of liquor.
Don't sleep In the bed with any one
else, and. If possible, not in the same
room.
Good food. fresh afr and rest are
the best cures. Keep in the sunlight
as much as possible.
Keep your windows open winter
and summer, day and night.
The careful and clean consumptive
is not dangerous to those with whom
he lives and works.
The following rules are enjoined on
even healthy persons, and they are
asked to observe them.
Don't spit on sidewalks, floors, OF
Railways. Spit into the gutter or
spittoon half filled with water.
Don't cough or sneeZe without
holding handkerchief or your hand
over your mouth or nose.
The simple suggestions may be cas-
lily followed by those who have reason
to fear infection. They have beer
generally approved by municipa
health departments and physicians
They impose no hardship upon any
body and 1t is easy for every individ
ual by observing them to aid th'
movement to rob the great whit
plague of its manifold terrors.
| Most of these rules are good and will
raise the standard of living ant
heall regardlss> of consumption
Cleanliness. fresh air, pure water
wholesome food and temperance ar
worth while anyhow, even If not
single case of consumption be pre-
vented. But these rules are univei
sally recognized as essetial to a sue
eessful warfare upon ituberculosi
and It Is a campaign in which every
body should volunteer.

Street CLEANING
And It's Effects

fare. standing together and forging
ahead; so that, II associations ike
our own would work in harmony
with the municipal Officers and the
newspapers (the most conspicuous
makers OF public sentiment), we
might be able to see as great and
gratifying changes at home as are
shown elsewhere. The teachers are
doing much along this line but 1t Is
unfair to leave all the responsibility
with them. while social clubs pursue
pleasure and literary and art clubs
extol beauty-loving Greece.
One argument for clean streets is,
that It is a matter of economy.
Authorities tell us that paving wears
longer, il kept clean, that accumu-
lations of dirt hasten the wear and
tear. Then, besides, beauty en-
hances the value of property. In
proof of this try to buy a lot in one
of our most attractive neighbor-
hoods. The higher the valuation,
the higher the taxes, and the great
en- the cityS income.
But of more consideration $Sould
be the question of health. Street
dirt itself is harmful to the eyes and
respiratory organs, and every house
keeper knows how penetrating 1t Is,
getting in through closed doors and
windows. But that is not the worst
phase. Two teachers of the manual
training school OF Toledo, o., while
on their way to school, were dis
cussing the dangers of dirt. They
found chip of wood and stopping
down, seraped up less than a tea
spoonful OF dirt from the street, car
ried it to the laboratory, put 1t in
a culture tube, and a week or two
later had it examined by a professor
of Johns-Hopkins University. who
happened along. Among many 9TH
er germs, the tube contained the well
developed bacilli of typhoid, of scar
let fever, or diphtheria, of tubercu-
losis, and two others so rare, that
permission was asked to take the
tube back to the university 10 see if
they could be classified. ToIedo's
dirt is duplicated in every city in
the world, and it is not pleasant to
think of carrying such matter into
the house to fill our lungs with dead
ly germs. and settle on our food and
drink.
Kipling says that the soil Of
India is so impregnated with the
filth of ages that fall which grazed
the skin, has been known to cause
lockjaw within few days. Let us
have clean streets.

Is An Important Subject Discussed
In An Able Paper Read At Meet
Ing Of Woman's Civic Club.

Below are given extracts of a pa
per read at the monthly meeting of
the Woman's Civic Clug. on Street
Cleaning and It's Effects"
The direct results Of the word that
went out a few ears ago for a beau
tIful America have been both graft
flying and surprising. The before
and after pictures taken in town
and country give striking contrasts,
and show what can be done along
these lines, and what is being done
in many communities. The time is
past when the matter of identifying
ones home surroundings is a ques-
ton of individual taste or choice,
because 1t has come to be recognized
that even these are things which af-
feet the public welfare, and are
therefore the legitimate subjects for
legislation. And the investment in
attractiveness is no longer consider
ed municipal extravaganza, but
prudent expenditure, because the
beauty and healthfulness of city
attract home-seekers just as much
as commercial advantages. The
reason some communities have been
tardy in catching the spirit of this
movement, is that the attention has
riveted on the city's commercial
power, and all effort directed toward
advancing its material prosperity.
and the relation of civic beauty to
that end has not been understood.
In rapidly growing city like our
own, where there is so much to be
done. and all at once. there seems
to be some excuse for a lack of
cleanliness and orderliness but at the
same time it Is not desirable nor
possible to wait to begin the work
of identifying until all building op-
erations are over, because we neither
expect nor want them to stop. The
first requisite to beauty in the city
is cleanliness. and nothing affects
the city's appearance so much as the
condition of its streets. Dirty
streets are disgrace to any city.
They put on unmistakable stamp up
on both the municipal administra-
ton and the people. They are strong
witnesses that the city likes filth, IS
behind the times, and is willing to
advertise the fact. To the stranger
they speak of want of refinement
on the part of the citizens, just as
the slovenly dress does for the indi-
vidual. On the other hand nothing
contributes more to the good repu-
tation and general well being of
city than clean streets.
We shall hear little later what
ordinances we have for cleaning and
keeping clean. but enforcement OF
law rises no higher than public SEN
timent, and public sentiment is made
by those interested In the city's well

Down With Bull Fights.
January H. 1907.

Ardmoreite Special.
Mexico City, Feb. 2O.-"Abajo los
tOros," is now the cry of the reform
ers in the southern republic. Down
with the bull fights The Mexican
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals is leading in the move
ment to abolish the national sport,
and is circulating pamphlets by the
thousands. Many congressman have
given their influence to the movement
and the Hon. Jose Lopez Portillo y
Rojas, a member from Jalisco, has
promised to introduce an anti-bul
fight bill on the opening of the spring
tern of congress in April.
At he present time the sport of
bull fl. ing Is rapidly losing in pep
ularity ng the majority of MeXi-
cans, and likely that there would
be little protest against ias abolition.
\ considerable proportion of the
spectators al all such contests Is made
up Of the American tourist conting-
ent. The first anti-bull fight bill in
troduced in the Mexican congress was
in 1880. when Congressman Vavala,
later vice president of the Texas re-
public fathered the measure.

New York, Feb. 20.-The death of
Mrs. Ida Blnge, the aged woman who
II is alleged was poisoned as she
lay dying from cancer, is resolving
itself into n most remarkable case.
Mrs. Lottie Wallau, is under arrest,
charged with having administered the
poison to her mother.
The remarkable feature of the case
is the motive. The attorneys. who
have been at work on the case. are
themselves haffled in this respect.
They found that Mrs. Binge the vic
tim, had long since given most OF
her fortune to her daughter and what
remained had been divided by law to
Mrs. Wallau, who is the only heir
at law Under the circumstances. and
considering that Mrs. Binge was at
the point of death, and suffering
great pain. the only explanation that
the law officers can give Is that the

woman's stomach and in the dregs of
