CONSUMPTION CAUSED BY
HABIT OF SP3IArING

CConsumption is disease Of the
lungs, which is taken from Others,
and is not simply caused by colds,
although cold may make it easier
to take the disease. 1t is caused by
very minute germs, which usually
enter the body with the air breath
ed. The matter which consumptiv-
es cough or spit up contains these
germs in great numbers equent-
" millions are discharged in a
single day, This matter, spit upon
the floor, wall or elsewhere, dries
and is apt to become powdered and
float in the air as dust The dust
contains the germs. and thus they
enter the body with the air breath
ed. This dust is especially likely to
be dangerous within doors The
breath of consumptive. except
when he is coughing or sneezlng,
does not contain the germs and will
not produce the disease. a well
person catches the disease from
consumptive only by in some way
taking in the matter coughed up
by the consumptive.
Consumption can often be cured
fits nature be recognized early and
if proper means be taken for its
treatment. In majority Of cases
~ &c mot - f1tII disease
1t is not dangerous to live with a
consumptive, if the matter coughed
up by him be promptly destroyed.
This matter should not be spit upon
the floor, carpet, stove, wall or side
walk, but always, if possible, in a
cup kept for that purpose. The
cup should contain water SO that
the matter will not dry, or better,
carbolic acid in a five per cent.
watery solution (six teaspoonfuls
in a pint of water. This solution
kills the germs. The cup should
be emptied into the water closet at
least twice a day, and carefully
washed with boiling water.
Great care should be taken by
cOnsumptives to prevent their
hands, face and clothing from be-
coming soicd with matter coughed
up. If they do become thus sOllcd,
they should be at once washed with
soap and hot water, Men with
consumption should wear no boards
at ALL or only closely cut mustaches.
When consumptives are away from
home, the matter coughed uR
should be received in a pocket flask
made for this purpose. If cloths
must be used, they should be inn
mediately burned on returning
home. If handkerchiefs be used
(worthlcss cloths. which can be at
once burned. are far better, they
should be boiled at least half an
hour in water by themselves before
being washed. When coughing or
sneezing small particles of spittle
containing germs are expelled, so
that consumptiveS should always
hold a handkerchief or cloth before
the mouth during these acts; other
wise the use of cloths and handker-
chiefs to receive the matter coughed
up should be avoided as much as
possible. because it readily dries
on these, and becomes separated
and scattered into the air. Hence

Dun's Weekly Review.

New York, June 25-R. G. Dun & Co. S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Reports from the principal industrial an mercantile centers are of an en- couraging nature and even the long delay in tariff readjustment and the new con- troyersy over the proposition to levy Il tax on the net earnings of corporations do not seem to hold in checks the im- provement in business conditions. The improvement, though based on many sound economic conditions in undoubted- ly facilitated by the ease of money, which in part aids the prevailing tendency toward high prices. Hot weather is stimu- lating the distribution of seasonable mer- chandise.
 With continued new business and re- storation of wages, the uplift in the iron and steel trade is maintained, the rail- roads placing notably large orders for rails.
 The wholesale dry goods markets are broadening and prices are tending up- ward. The movement of goods for fall distribution is active and orders for spring of 1910 are being reordered. Spot trade conditions generally light with prices held very firm on nearly all lines of merchant disc. There is an absence of pressure to move out stocks at a sacrifice at the end of the first half of the jobbing year.
 The leading lines of staple mems wear for spring 1910 were opened at prices 25 per cent above the figures named last spring but at a less advance over prices at which stocks had been sold at the close of the last spring season
 Staple printed goods have sold freely during the month and are still being taken at the old prices of 4%c on sup plementary orders. All print cloth yarn goods are firm and higher in some cases with fine combed yarn goods closely sold into December.
 Footwear conditions are still backward though trade Is much better than several months ago. forwardings from Boston for the current year showing an increase of 4 per cent.
 Continued strength rules in the leather markets with steady trade. Oak soles in Texas hides are sold at the full ad- vance recently demanded.

DAYS HAPPENINGS
 IN WASHINGTON

Washington, June 25-The most import ant happenings in the national capital today were:

Notable Wedding at oadsden.

Gadsden, June 25.-(Special) )-At the Printup hotel parlors yesterday evening at 7:30 o'clock took place the marriage of Miss Stella Reich, only daughter of David Reich and wife, and Mr. John Stanford Paden. Because of the grooms mourning for his mother, whose death oc- cured but few days ago, the wedding was quiet one. being witnessed by only the immediate relatives of the contracting parties. The bride was given away by her father, and the groom was attended only by his brother. The prominence of the parties socially makes the event of statewide interest. The bride is highly accomplished young lady. who enjoys a very large acquaintance, and the groom is a member of one of the oldest as well as one of the wealthiest families in this part of Alabama. A very elaborate public wedding had been planned. but all this was abandoned because of the recent be- reayement of the groom.

IMPROVEMENT IN
 TRADE CONTINUES Reports from Jobbers Show
 General Betterment CROP CONDITIONS BETTER Industries Led by Iron and Steel lndi- cate Expansion of Operation, Larger Output and More Con-
 fdence In Future.
CROP CONDITIONS BETTER

New York, June 25.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Improvement is more manifest this week, the handspring of this being better weather for crops and further expansion in the volume of industrial operations. Metal reports are still rather irregular, excessive heat being credited with re- tarding distribution in some sections, but or the whole sales of summer goods have been benefited by more seasonable tenn peratures.
 Jobbing trade reports are slightly bet ter pointing to an improvement in re- order demand, but by far the best reports as to distributive trade still come from wholesale lines, which represent crop re- ports as stimulating the placing of busi- ness for next fall and spring delivery. Collections are rather slower as a whole this week, apparently rehecting weather conditions and the fact that farmers are now busy with the crops.
 The industries led by iron and steel show expansion of operation, larger out put, wage advances and more confidence is expressed than at any preceding time since the depression began.
 The situation in leather trades is one of great strength, based apparently on the scarcity of hides. Shoe shipments con tinue to expand and are A per cent larger than a year ago in the east. St. Louis shipments are, however, slightly behind year ago, though manufacturers expect to catch up.
 Great activity is reported in the build- ing trades, but demand for lumber seems to drag in some sections.
 Cotton goods have a hardening tendency aided by the advance in raw material
 The opening of the 1910 spring season trade in woolens and worsted mems wear goods at the highest price for over a de- cade Is another evidence of very strong position of prices of textiles generally.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending June 24 were 225, against 213 last week and 258 in the like week of 19OS

A profusion of violets, and
many roses still blooming out
Io'doors, testifies to the superb
Fall weather enjoyed here.
Lonny Frady, formerly of
Rutherfordton, now of Hender-
sonville, speaking of a kicking
gun, remarked that it was one of
them guns which shot at both
ends!
Eggs is scarce. And high.
Only multi-millionairs eat eggs
these days. One man was seen
to buy six, Saturday. He took
one home and deposited the rest
in the vault of one of the banks.
The hens refuse to lay. Just
why, isn't known. Maybe they
want equal rights with the other
sex-maYbe they want to vote.
Anyhow, eggs is scarce and sell
for 40 cents-when accompanied
by certificate of freshness.
L. H. Edney, 81 years young
and a good farmer, has two egg
turnips on exhibition in the Hust-

Whose banquet shocked the nostr1 and

Then spoke a voice, "Beho1d the source

With dewy buds mid dark green foliage
