Of Imprisonment for them have been
very infrequent, and, in fact, for prac-

litigation, however successful, against

PUBLIC LIBRARIES AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Step by step, slowly perhaps but certainly,
the public library is following the path al
ready trodden by the public school. The ex-
perience of the one is almost identical with
that of the other. The place now assigned the
public library, by general consent, is that of
an integral part Of our system of public and
free education On no other theory has it
sure and lasting foundation on no other the

Leper Colony.

sissippi river, and in ante-bellum days
was called Indian camp plantation
The same name still clings to the es-
tate, but instead of an old-fashioned
plantation house, with its barns and
! stables and negro quarters and its
fields green with cane or white with
cotton, there is the attractive admin
istration building Temodeled from the
ancient plantation big house." and
clustered about a number Of low,
roomy modern brick structures which
serve as sleeping quarters and treat
ment rooms for the patients.
This is the leper house of the state
of Louisiana, directly under state over
sight and governed by a board OF con-
troll. Here for the last few years Dr.
Isadore Dyer, consulting leprologist.
and DR.. Ralph Hopkins, visiting physi-
clan, have struggled to cure the dis
ease, and slowly but surely they have
demonstrated, they declare, that If it
be taken in hand before the last stages
have been reached, ieprosy, by means
of a certain course of treatment, may
be eradicated from the body.
Since 1894 there have been admit
ted to the home 101 patients. OF this
number three have been discharged as
cured, 40 have died, IA have abscond-
ed-that is, run away from the home
and A remain at Indian Camp.
OF the three cases discharged the
first was that of a boy admitted in
October, 1902, at the age Of IS. He
was discharged December z, 1904. as
cured, and has been kept under OBJ
servation ever since. Reports show
that there has been no return of
any evidence of the disease.
The second case was that of
woman admitted August 10, 1900 at
the age Of so. and discharged cured
December 10, 1905. There has been
no evidence Of a recurrence of the
disease in her case. This patient was
kept 1S months under observation
after LESSONS had disappeared before
she was discharged from the home.
The third case was that of woman
admitted June 2. 1904. at the aee of

80 years, and discharged April z5l
home more than a year under observav
ton after the LESSONS had disappeared
Eight of the patients now at the
home show a type of arrested disease
with no active LESSONS and no evil
dence of the disease except pigmenta'I
ton. OF this number at least six are
now under observation, with a view
to their discharge after a reasonable
period Of freedom from the disease.
This is the triumph of medical SCI
ence at the Louisiana state leperl
home, but it is only the beginning. 1T
represents many years Of toll and self
denial on the part of public spirited
citizens, attending physicians, and
last, but probably greatest Of all, the
Sisters of Charity who have devoted
their lives to ministering to the lep-
ers.
The treatment which has accom-.
plished such wonderful results con-
sists, it is said, in administering
ichthyol, chlorate Of potash, strych-
nine, salicylate of soda, chaulmugra
oil and arsenic. The best results
seem to follow the treatment with
chaulmugra oil ans strychnine, the
three patients discharged as cured
having had this course.
The method of treatment Is largely
one of nutrition, it being known that
if a resistance can be established in
the individual patient the disease will
disappear All patients, therefore, are
required to take daily hot baths, eat
plenty of wholesome food, without re-
spect to its being fish, flesh, fowl or
vegetable, and to spend as much time
as possible in the open air and SUM-
shine.
Among other improvements planned
for the near future are a chapel, a re-
frigerating plant, another 20 room
cottage for female patients, a steam
laundry, plant, fire department and
drainage. Screening of all the
houses will follow as soon as sufficient
funds are in hand. Every effort of
the board of control is being direct
ed toward making the home a home
indeed for the afflicted lepers.

"Can leprosy be cured?" is ques-

swered by a refuge for lepers in Louis
lana in the affirmative, and there are
indications that within a few years
the United States will have national
home for the treatment of the dread
disease.
There is now only one place on this
continent where the leper may find a
refuge and a home that will afford
him all the necessary comforts of life.
This home is situated in the state of

Board Of Trade Meeting.


 of Trade was held at the board rooms on Tuesday evening witt
 nearly the full quota of director, present.
 The special committee appointed to secure delegates to represent the Board of Trade and Santa Cruz County at the coming Mining Con- gress, meeting in Joplin, Mo. in the carly part of Novenb Der, brought in a report recommending the names of MT. Marshal P. Wright and MT. Geo. w. Grove of Nogales for appointment as delegates, and their report was unanimously addopted. The secretary was in structed to communicate with these gentlemen, informing them of their selection and furnishing them with properly drawn credentials.
 This section is fortunate to have secured two such we'll known and able mining men to represent it at the Joplin Congress, which will he the most important mining meet ing of the year throughout the United States.
 A very cordial letter was received last week from Mir. Jno. s. Mitchell of the Hollenbeck Hotel, Los An- geles, in reply to letter sent him requesting him to distribute some of our literature at the Hollenbeck. Mir. Mitchell stated that he would be most happy to do so, and called the attention of the Board to the fact that he had last spring distributed a hundred of our booklets, and he stated that after careful observation he could state that every one of the booklets sent him and distributed at the hotel had been carried away by those taking them, and that not single one had been found in their rooms or thrown carelessly around, show ing that guests were much inter ested in this section. Mir. Mitchell further states that he now has special cabinet in the lobby of of Hollenbeck devoted to Arizona literature and says that our liter ature is in such demand that the hundred copies lately sent him will | last but few weeks at best.
 Such letters as this of Mir, Nit chell, emphasize the fact that the money spent by the Board of Trade during the past year in advertising i the town and county, have not been wasted. The booklet issued last year has certainly accomplish ed its desired mission, that of call ing the attention of the people of the United States to Nogales and Santa Cruz county, and it is certain that with the good work already done backed up by continued and persistent work of the same kind, with new literature showing the new and vaster possibilities now opening up for this section, cannot but bring rich harvest of desir- able people to this county. The history of our sister city ofPhenix shows that 1t was not until after several years of this sort of per- istent advertising that she began n rean the rich raturn which che I,
