a Prize from GRAY.

Thog. P. Gray, vice president OF me
association. was present at the meet
ing and has offered a prize. which
when won. will have been won in q
very novel manner This prize will
be different from the others for which
the bo1lers are contesting in the
fact that all have almost an equal
chance. The scheme is this:
For every score OF 40 or over made
during the year BY bowler, that
bowler is entitled to one chance on
me prize, which is TO be a bowling
ball Every bowler in the league
will have number of games over the
above mark and at the end of the
season the drawing viii be made. The
BOWERS making the most number OF
games over 40 will have the best
chance as far as percentage goes, but
the man with but one game over the
mark may win the prize.
The best regulation bowling ball
be given by Mr. Gray and the player
winning it may choose it himself and
have it made TO order.
The prize is certainly fine one

believed. 1t is gratifying, and quite satisfying to
a revengeful spirit to learn from the modern lab
oratory that the special and only function of the
bacterium is to perform the duties of a universal
scavenger. 1t is always seeking decomposing animal

and dies when deprived of it. 1t enters the human
body only in search of filth. and if it finds none
it does the person harm, and dies either from

the body secretes itself where it may safely
await the creation of decomposing matter when
it will begin its lifework.
Thus, there may be and doubtless is at all times
great variety of bacteria of virulent type qui-
escent in bodies only for the time that they
find deCaying matter adapted to their special

1t is most interesting fact, therefore, that this
most deadly foe of man becomes dangerous only
when the latter is harborng in his body waste or

that the bacterum excretes poisons-toXins-o of

phere by floating germs But in the final analysis
the of disease in both infection and contagion
is similar in its action that the medical profession
has adopted the term communicable disease in
all cases where the disease is communicated from
one person to another by means of germ, what
ever may be its method of attack the body.
What the Germ Is
WHAT is this communicable germ or agent? A

The individual bacterium plural, bacteria) is an
organism representing low form of vegetable life;

placed under proper conditions for growth is by
division of the cell body; the two cells formed out
of the first being divided into four before complete
separation has taken place; the four dividing into
eight the eight into sixteen the sixteen into thirty
two, and indefinitely. Now, as it requires
only thirty minutes for one cell to divide it has
been estimated that a single bacterium will in
twenty-four hours increase to the number of over
sixteen million five hundred thousand, and in
forty-eight hours to two hundred and eighty-one
million five hundred thousand. At this rate of in

that while these things were hid from the
wise and prudent of former times, they have in
these latter days been revealed unto babes" No
event in human history would have more greatly
taxed the credulty of the most learned and expert
enced physician of half century ago than the
prophecy that in the early years of the twentieth
century school children would be taught by simple
and easily understood object lessons how to pre-
vent and how to cure consumption the Asatc
cholera, yellow fever, and other epidemics that have
devastated cities, destroyed armies and swept from
the earth whole tribes of primitive people.
But that prophecy has been literally fulfilled.

the State of New York and taught the people, es-

within the period referred to the sickness and death
rates of communities where the people have been

To understand how infection affects the body
involves inquiry to the nature of Infection its
mode of entrance into the body, and its operations
