Methods Of Preventing tuberculosis



The great international tuberculo-
sis congress recently held in Wash
ington City was an event of the
greatest Importance. At this con-
ference the worlds greatest students
studied the tremendous problem pre-
sented by tuberculosis and laid plans
for fighing it. Among the results
of the congress was the formulation
and tabulation of sixteen methods OF
preventing tuberculosis. These are
as follows:
1. By preventing the infection Of
we'll people, through germs in con-
sumptive's spit.
2. BY teaching the consumptive
to destroy his spit.
8. BY providing light and ventila-
ton in the homes Of the people.
4. By teaching people not to live
or work in badly ventilated rooms.
S. By securing adequate ventila-
tons and proper sanitary conditions
in factories, stores, schools, thea
tres, and other places of public as
semblage.
6. By abolishing dry sweeping of
the streets and compelling the use
of water.
7. By abolishing the use Of feath-
er buster.
8. By abolishing sweat-shop made
clothing.
9. By exterminating the common
house-fy.
10. By teaching the consumptive
how not to infect his family or neigh
bors.
II. By removing advanced cases
that are free from infection, from
tenement homes to hospitals.
IL. By discovering the disease in
it's early stages and curing the pa
tent, thus removing source Of in
lection to others.
10. By educating the community
to the nature of the disease, that it
is preventable, durable, and COM
municable.
ID. By educating people to keep
their general physical condition in
such shape as to enable them to re-
sist the germs.
Is. By advocating fresh air, out
door life, sunshine, rest, no over
work, wholesome food, temperate
habits.
16. By protecting the milk supply,
thus preventing infection from cat
tie.
The most distressing form Of tu-
berculosis, we take it, is consump-
ton. That dread scourage is eating
away at the vitals of humanity prac-
tically all over the world. Every
village, every town, every thickly
settle community, every city has
cases by the dozens or by the hun
dreds. Right here in Kinston the
great arch-enemy Of humanity is
silently at work, making progress
every day, and marking his victims
for final rest in Maplewood or some
other city of the dead.
The ravages Of the dread, insidious
disease can be largely obstructed by
close and faithful adherence to GER
tain principles such as the sixteen
methods outlined above. And it be-
hooves all citizens to take the neces-
sary precautions.

TWO SUBSTITUTES WILL BE OF
FERED FOR THE HEMANS PRO-
PosAL-scHEME AFooT TO
TRAP ITS FRIENDS.
(From a Special correspondent.)


LANSING, Mich, Jan. 23.--There is
a grand lineup OF both factions, to-
day, for the battle to be fought out
in the con-con on the second reading
of the initiative proposal. There will
be two substitutes offered for the
Hemans proposal-one from each side.
That Of the pros" will make IL obli-
gatory on the legislatures part TO con-
slider all amendment petitions in due
form, while that OF the ''antis" bestows
discretionary power on the legisla-
ture. The former proposal was faith
cred by Henry T. Head, OF Grand
Rapids, assisted by Albert Sharp, Of
the 500, and the latter. though pre-
scented by Delegate Gore, originated
with Delegate Wykes.
A scheme is surely on foot to trap
the friends of the initiative In the con-
vention that would so minimize the
force OF the existing proposal as to
make IL nearly valueless. Conferences
are going on for some kind OF a com
promise that would surely pass, but
the opponents stick TO the theory that
the people can't be trusted, and so
seek to get some sort of a veto power
In the legislature on any thing initial
ed by the people. The sleight-of-
hand work by Atwood and Baird is
detected in this maneuver. and friends
of this reform must be especially
alert or in a supposed victory there
will only result severe Waterloo.

NEW NATURALIZATION Law
WORKS SLOWLY, BUT EFFEc-
TIvELY--MANY "FOREiGNERS"
HOLDING POLITICAL JOBS.

-S4Hee-tbe- new naturalization Law
went into effect, the industry of max
ing new American citizens has suf-
fered a great setback. Aliens have
been coming to these shores In as
great numbers as ever, but only so
per cent as many persons are being
brought into the fold as subjects Of
Uncle Sam as formerly. In addition,
the naturalization bureaus are find
ing many cases of foreigners who
have lived and perhaps voted here
tor years, innocently in most cases,
and who. Ii now develops, have real
ly become citizens.
Since the naturalization center was
established in Detroit, two months
ago, many interesting cases have
been turned up. Formerly the law
allowed aliens to vote on their first
papers, or declaration OF intention.
In consequence, many who had taken
out these papers thought themselves
naturalized. and the inspectors have
found not a few men holding political
Offices who are not citizens.
An old Irish justice OF the peace
III OuC VI tic uppti tOuHliCo VI NlCH-
igan, was greatly startled to learn
that he had no legal right to be nd
ministering justice.
Put me through the mill as fast
as you can, In time for the April
election, and I'll get out and skin
these yaps that think they have the
laugh on me now, and be back here
administering the same kind OF justice
by next summer" he declared.
A great many illegal naturalizations
are also being brought to light, AMI
In such cases the inspectors are cCl-
lecting and turning In the fraudulent
ly-obtained certificates. A young Ger
man of Dayton, o., applied for a pass

WHO GAVE THE GLAZIER
LETTER TO THE PRESS?

Howswhat purported to be a copy Oh
Glaciers letter OF resignation was Sc,
cured by the Detroit News before IL
had been received by Gov. Warner Is
a matter that Attorney German. rep

tigate. The letter was handed TO the
Associated Press, presumably by the
Nevvs-aRA- was-sent- out To- all lne
state dailies served by the news SER

the governor received his copy. Ii Is
assumed that the letter was given 10
the Associated Press on its promise
not to release It to Its other Detroit
afternoon patron, the Journal, for the
latter contained no reference to II.
German processes ignorance OF the
matter. He says no one saw the
letter of resignation with the excep-
ton Of himself, Glazier, and Miss
Richardson. of Ann Arbor. a type
writer whom he engaged TO make a
copy OF the original draft. The attor'
ney points out that the letter printed
in the News Ia much longer than the
one handed the governor, which he ex-
plains with the statement that the first
draft was revised and cut down.
The case recalls the printing by the
New York World, OF the now famous
letter Of Il. III. Hartman. which was
sold to the newspaper by Harriman's
former stenographer. The World was
severely criticized for its unenviable
part IN the transaction.

TOM CUMMINGS. ACCUSED OF EN-

ALTHOUGH wIFE's DIVORCE
BILL ISN'T SIGNED.

Thomas G. Cummings. formerly en-
ployed as a bookkeeper for the Mich
igan Drug Co., was brought back to
Detroit from Chicago, Thursday morn
ing, on warrant sworn out several
days ago, charging him with embez-
cling $25.23 from that company. Cum
mings was arraigned before Justice
Stein at noon and his examination was
set for Jan. 81. Bail was fixed at
$500 with two sureties. -
| Accompanying the young man from
Chicago. besides the detectives. was
he woman who Is known as Mrs. Cum
mings No. 2. but who. according to the
first Mrs. Cummings, has no right to
the name. Mrs. Cummings No. / was
formerly Grille Dumouchel, OF Wind
sor, and married Cummings four years
ago.
On her application a divorce was
granted by Judge Hosmer last Sep
TENDER, but Mrs. Cummings says the
decree was never signed, as far as
she has been able to learn, and she
talks of having Cummings prosecuted
on q charge OF bigamy when the
courts are through with him on the
embezzlement charge.
The woman now known as Mrs.
Cummings No. 2 was employed as a
manicnrist In the Hotel Normandis
barber shop until last September =

Miss Dumouchel, perhaps, for she has
resumed her maiden name. II have
learned that she and Mr.. Cummings
were married In Chicago. Nov. %, and

Gus marriage"
While waiting to be taken to court,
Thursday morning. Cummings blamed
his former wife for his arrest In Chi
cago, intimating that she had tipped
his whereabouts of to the polise. 1t
was even reported that she had fol-
lowed him to Chicago, but she emphat-
ically denies any responsibility In this
connection.
II have not been in Chicago, and
did not tip him of to the police" said
she with indignation. ~ am not in
that kind OF business. AS TO the en-
bezzlement charge against Mr. Cum
mings, | have nothing TO say except
that | believe his attentions to other
women were responsible for his being
In his present trouble"
Miss Dumouchel charges that Cum
mings was attentive to Miss Hazel
Trebilcock, whose parents figured I'm
a sensational divorce case In the cir
cult court a few months ago, before he
became acquainted with the manicur-
ist whom he has married.
Cummings Is handsome appearing

ry his end In a conversation. He Is
the sort OF man girls take TO. In
Chicago he was employed by the
