FIVE MILLION OF OUR PEOPLE
DOOMED TO FILL CONSUME
TIvEs' GRAVES.
EXPERTS STATEMENT
DISCUSSION OF THE WAYS IN
WHICH THE DISEASE MAY BE
CONTRACTED.

Washington.-That 100000 people,
now living IN the United States, are
doomed to fill consumptives' graves
unless something is done to prevent
it, was the startling declaration of
Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale University
in an address on 1.-The Cost of Tuber-
culosis," before the international Tu-
berculosis Congress Tuesday. Profess
sor Fishers address created sensa-
ton.
Professor Fisher further declared
that the 13S,000 persons who die of
consumption annually in this country
cost, in hard cash, over one billion
dollars year.
In section L. in which it is expected
the most of the scientific discussions
and discoveries will develop, there
was a discussion of great importance
to the congress at this mornings SEES
sion. when Professor Calmet of Lille,
France, director of the Pasteur Insti-
tute. advanced the theory that tuber-
Guile bacilli are taken into the system
by swallowing. Heretofore inhalation
has been considered the principal
method of contracting consumption.
Infection by inhalation was warmly
defended by Professor Tendeloo of
Holland.
Past Assistant Surgeon Victor G.
Heifer of the United States Public
Health and Marine Service, and direc-
tor of health of the Philippine Islands,
asserted that in tropical countries
where tuberculosis and hook worm
disease prevail. elimination Of the hook
worm produced better results in d.
minishing the mortality from tubercu-
losis than any other measure that has
been tried on a large scale.
"All tendency to disease that ap-
pears in any individual asserted DR..
Unterberger of Russia, sis to be re-
garded as hereditary. Whether the
corresponding disease can be traced
back each tine to parents or ances-
tors. the tendency to consumption is
inherited and may be developed by
various agencies. Numerous autop-
sizes show that every man over thirty
year of age has old remains of a tu-
berculosis infection. These facts show
how comparatively easy the human or
ganism can overcome the tubercule
bacilli and give us the indication for
our treatment, the Strengthening of
the organism by hygienic and dietetic
means. We must seek to destroy the
tubercule bacillus. but our chief en-
deavors must be directed toward
strengthening the body"
Sherman C. Kingsley. Chicago
philanthropist, limited his discussion
of the subject to the consideration of
families and individuals Of moderate
income. and to working people earning
from 50 to s1S per week. 1.-The ne
cessities of life exhaust the earnings
of these people" he said. leaving no
margin for emergencies. Working
people are Injured to hardships and
sacrifices. They make light of pain
and discomfort. They disregard phys
ical ailments. neglect coughs and
colds. A call from the doctor means
the price of days wages and cut
from the rent or the savings for shoes
and clothing.
For this and many similar reasons
tuberculosis is far advanced when dis
covered among these people. The only
hope of recovery depends upon early
diagnosis.

PUBLIC PUNISHMENT.
The Days Of the Whipping Post,
Stocks and Branding Irons.

/ The Days OF the Whipping Post
Stocks and Branding Irons.
Up until the end of the war and a
little while after the whipping post and
stocks stood not far from the north
west corner Of the courthouse and be-
tween that building and the present
postofice, and there the last whipping
took place, though as it began it was
sought to be stopped by federal Off
Ger. The sheriff was, however, simply
carrying out the mandate Of the old
court Of pleas and quarter sessions.
In those days the stocks and the
whipping post, too, Were special attrac-
tons, notably to boys. The latter were
allowed to ridicule people who sat in
the stocks, which held their hands and
feet, but not to. throw anything at
them ~ F'&S "}%
OF course this deprived the boys Of
some degree Of pleasure, yet they con-
trfyed to get good deal Of fun out Of
the thing anyway. 1t seems odd now
even to think of such scenes as these
must have been. Figure to yourself
passing by the courthouse green at
Charlotte or Raleigh and seeing gen
tleman held by the ankles and wrists
by wooden bars, sitting there In the
sunshine for all the world to look at.
Those were the days OF the branding
iron too: A set Of gives Of Iron, In use
Tor holding the ankles or wrists, are on
exhibition here, but Of branding irons
there are none. These were used here
