To The EDrT R:-The article on Cities

short time ago set me to thinking.
1t was only lately, saw one Of the
leading farmers in this community carry

catalogue house, home with him. Il
happened that was drawn into dis
cussion Of this question with him and /
was actsally surprised 10 hear him ex-
press himself as he did. In the first
place ! feel proud of the fact that have
never patronized one OF these concerns in
preference to dealing with our home mer.
chants. Probably one reason why have
not felt inclined to send my trade away
from home 10 because il has only been q
few years since found my financial con-
dition such that il became necessary for
me to arrange with some one to carry my.
account over crop season. In fact, it
has not been more than q year since /
found il necessary to run an account for q
short time and am not one so ioreetful
Of accommodations as to order from cat.

money with the order when our home

tend credit to me when neededit. But

TO FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS


asStarted in small way by
some earnest physicians Of this
city, there was established q san
.itarium for the treatment Of per-
sons afflicted with tuberculosis.
Although the means available
were small, and in spite of the
fact. that the project meant much
of hard work, the originators of
the Anti tuberculosis Society
went ahead. First they opened
a free dispensary, and then,
through the generosity ora pub.
lic-spirited citizen, they secured
a bit Of choice land on which to
locate a small sanitariun. Thus
far the results of the open air
treatment - accepted as the
proper method have been emf
nently gratifying
Nov, however, that there is a
prospect Of the Delaware branch
of the National Red Cross Society
joining hands with the Anti-Tu-
berculosis Society still greater
results are to be anticipated.
The objects of the Red Cross are
to extend aid to combat the raw
ages of war aHd pestilence, and
thus the proposition to take a
part in the fight against tubercu-
losis is within the clear province
of that body
That tuberculosis is to be
considered q pestilence no doubt
exists. Itis q pestilence slow in
its progress so far as the individ-
ual lis concerned, but none the
less to be dreaded in view of the
great number of victims claimed.
Thus if the Red Cross Society
starts in to take. up the work of
the Anti tuberculosis Society it
win have q wide field for action.
1t is yet to be determined to
what extent the Red Cross can
cooperate, but when it is remem-
bered that this body Of earnest
workers for humanity have
branches in all parts Of the
world, and is recognized as a
power for no end of usefulness,
1t tawould appear as if the fight
against tuberculosis in Delaware
was to be made more effective.
"That the pestilence of tuber-
culosis can be met and held in
check by intelligent work is no
longer questioned. And from
many states word is received al
intervals that the number of
fatal cases of tuberculosis is be-
ing reduced steadily. This
means that those afflicted can be
saved II taken in charge during
the first stages Of the disease
The Delaware nti-Tu6erculosis
Society is to be congratulated
upon the prospect of securing
such q strong ally as the Red
Cross Organization.
nWhat the society now in
charge of the sanitarium has done
has been of incalculable benefit,
and what it can do when
joined by the members of the
Red Cross is certainly to be still
more. The fight against tuber-
culosis is a hard one, butthe dis
ease can be baffied and checked.
Yellow fever is being forced
back, and certainly tuberculosis
is easier to control if the individs
ual cases are discovered in time. =

MIsCoNCEPTION

Mn EDIToR:-WiIi you kindly give
space and publish the statute act in regard
to arrests, as there seems to be- some mis-
cunceptionin the matter.
Last Saturday night there was much
disorder on the streets, profane aud inde-
cent language and, although there were
two (2) extras sworn IN as police, there
was only one arrest; aud that was for
furnishing a razor and threatening to
carve his lovely inamorata, and. notwith-
standing there was az good order as form
erly at the same season Of the gear the poor
fellow had to ''go up the road. Now, /
ask, will the Town Commissioners read
the law and instruct their policemen to
obey? Then if they do not "get a.moye-
on turn them out. ! am happy to re-
mind the town board and police that the
results OF the last election speak in no un.
certain sound that a majority Of the
people Of st. Georges hundred demand
good order in torn and expect those in
authority to zee TO it that We get it. The
laws follows.
