CONSUMPTION is CURABLE.
It Will Soon BE Classified Among
the Minor Diseases.

Consumption is no longer regard
ed as a hopeless foe to life. 1t is
treated successfully in the earlier
stages and some remarkable cures in
the later phases have been recorded.
Outdoor treatment is regarded as
greatly helpful. and notable advances
have been made in the preventive
work through scientific sanitation.
At the present rate of progress,
through legislation, education and
the dispelling of the unwholesome at
titude of mind toward this disease,
it is quite likely that few decades
hence will find the world classifying
consumption with the minor serious
diseases, preventible and durable.
The malignant, epidemic fevers.
too, have succumbed in large meas
ure to the advances of science. The
germ theory of disease has worked
wonders in the classification and
study of specific organism and the
discovery OF their antidotal remedies.
Yellow fever, cholera, bubonic plague
and other pestilential ailments of hu-
manity have been at least placed in
the category of possible prevention
through the exercise of care in iso-
lation and the use of 'disinfectants.
Smallpox is no longer rated high as
a menace to public health. Typhoid.
thanks to filtration and improved
sanitary supervision over the food
and milk supplies, is falling steadily
to small percentage in the list Of
causes OF death.
The great advances which have
been made in few years in the clas-
sification and successful treatment OF
these and other dangerous diseases
leave the single obstinate exception
OF cancer the more emphatically a
menace. Occasionally a theory of
character. cause and method OF
transmission is advanced, to be ex-
plotted for time and then discredit-

Niidair Photography.

Cameras ON the wing are flying
through Germany. A projectile to
take photographs and claimed to
have been successful at heights of
half a mile is the idea of Herr Marie,
German photographer.
A camera having the form of the
usual kind of conical she'll is thrown
into the air by means of kind of
trap. At a predetermined angle, as
the camera turns to make its descent
and is pointed slightly downward,
the shutter is automatically released
and a picture is taken of broad
expanse of country. In still air the
fight and spot at which the aerial
camera win fall can be calculated
with much precision.
Precautions are taken to avoid
damage by concussion, and the re-
suits are expected to be of great pos.
sible value in military operations. -

Drowning Struggles.

Recently at dinner in Washing
ton young novelist of Boston was
seated next to an ELUSIVE girl from
Indiana. At the first opportunity the
fair Indianan turned to her neighbor
and gushingly exclaimed:o
"Oh, l am so glad to meet you.
To think should meet an author!
1t seems so wonderful that you
should have written that lovely
story"
Whereupon. observing a strained
expression upon the face of her
friend, the author, the girl from In
diana perceived her mistake and
hastened to add:
"Of course, YOU understandiT
with an uncertain smilc.) 1T al
ways seems so perfectly wonderful
to me that anybody can write any
thinge no matter how poor Il is -

Sleep and Old Age.

There is no question that the
quantity of sleep required steadily
diminishes from infancy to old age.
This is a rather interesting excep.
ton to the general rule that. as in
so many matters, old age returns to
the needs of infancy AS regards
sleep, old age is more remote in its
needs from infancy than is any other
period OF life. If elderly people OBJ
tain good sleep during the first few
hours, and if they have not lost that
delight in reading which we all had
in youth, but which so many of us
curiously lose, their case is not to be
grieved over. The special value OF
the earliest hours of sleep, by tho
way, has been proved by psychology

beauty sleep" is we'll warranted. II

sleep that make for health aud

Nobody knows the age of man on
earth. The tendency of opinion
among scholars is to the effect that
the human advent upon this planet
took place many tens of thousands of
years ago. John Fiske, backed by

as half million years.

While cancer mortality is increas-
ing still in England and Wales, it is
at a diminishing rate. In the five
years ending with 1905, the death
rate for both sexes showed an in
crease of eight per cent, which was
about half as great as the increase
for the five years ending with 1890.
The deaths in 1904 were TAI per
100000 among males of all ages,
and 1905 among females. In nearly
all comparable cases the rate is
greater among females. A remark
able exception is cancer of the mouth,
for in the four years ending with
1904 this caused the death of 7246
males and only 1867 females.
Whether this is an effect of nicotine
poisoning remains to be shown.

In order to determine the points
of fusion OF refractory substances,
Mr.. w. G. Heraeus has constructed
at Hanau new electric furnace, the
essential part OF which consists of
tube of iridium, 20 millimetres thick
and 40 millimetres in diameter, and
in which temperatures between 1900
and 1000 degrees G. may be main
tained for any desired length of time.
At certain temperature the sub
stance under examination begins to
soften, and at temperature of five
to fifteen degrees higher, depending
upon the nature of the substance,
complete fusion occurs.

followed by fever. AS some of the
spores take seventy-two hours to
reach full development, the next at
tack of fever will not take place until
the third day; as another type devel-
ops within forty-eight hours, the at
tacks occur every other day; and
those which speculate every twenty
four hours produce the quotidian fe-
yer. 1t is possible, though perhaps
not usual, for one patient to harbor
all three varieties at one and the
same time.
At the time that the malarial para
sites scatter their spores in the blood,
the patient is seized with chill, nau-
sea, shivering and fever; very soon,
however, the wonderful antitoxic
mechanism of the body begins to
assert itself, the poison is acted upon,
neutralized, and in a large measure
eliminated by the sweating which en-
sues, and the patient rs relieved. But
another generation is developing
meanwhile, and when 1t reaches ma
turity another attack is caused, and
not until their power of reproduction
Is weakened, and finally overcome,
will recovery be permanent. Even
then, undue fatigue, chill or great
heat may cause relapse by favoring
the parasites and their development.
The battle must be necessarily waged
between the conflicting parties,
poison on the one hand, anti-toxIn
on the other. A startling discovery,
made in quite recent times, is that

And to make the in
sincerity of his equivocation per-
feet, Mr.. McFadyen will vote for
the constitution himself. He
knows that there will be no office
OF representative to fill without
the constitution.
Furthermore, if Mr.. Mckadyen
doesn't know that the constitu-
ton provides for the assembling
of new constitutional eonven-
ton at least once every twenty
years, he'd better get the docu-
ment and read it. We call his
attention to Section 2, Article "a,

MIR. McFadyen Shooting Fish

Will McFadyen, republican
nominee for state representative,
is having the premonitory shud'
ders of statesmanship these days
AS he sees the situation. lie
opposes himself to Frank Steph-
ems of Apache, and affects to be-
lieve that he will win in a walk
But let's see.
We have not heard of any
standing or qualifications that
Mr.. MoFadyen possesses tnat Mr..
Stephens does not, OF that gives
him any claim tc the democratic
votes necessary to elect. But we
do know Of several very grave
reasons why Will should receive
the unanimous democratic black
ball at the polls. He will, if
elected, vote for'two United States
senator's, which the interests of
Oklahoma emphatioally require
to be democrats. Furthermore.
the republican party, in its des-
perate plight, is trying to trade
off everything on their ticket to
elect FranlZ, the idea being that
if they oan get the governorship
and more than one-third of the
legislature, they can save some
thing for the corporations out of
the ruin that is impending for them
through the constitution for the
people. The election of apublican
representative would be further
ance Of this scheme. So, demo.
orats, line up behind your man.
Again if Mr.. McFadyen is cleo
ed, his every act will be opposed
TO the interest of the democratic
party in Caddo county. Do you
want this, democrats? Then go
