bercle baciIli."
This brings us to an important prac.
tical question: How do the tubercle
bacilli pass from one persons lungs
to another's? Upon this question
largely depends the prevention Of the
disease.
Nature provides that the consump
tive shall cough and spit to get rid
OF this sputum. The germs in it. thus
violently expelled from one congenial
home. must find another or perish
Some may be coughed, in the form OF
mist, into another persons face and,
being inhaled into his lung, produce
disease there; but this form OF infec-
ton Is very rare. The great majority
of germs remain with the expectorat-
ed mass until this dries, and sooner
or later becomes pulverized into dust
fine enough to float about in the air and
be inhaled by any one who breathes
thfs air. II is then that the sputum
becomes most dangerous. There are
plenty OF shaded hooks and corners in
all our houses where the germs In
these tiny particles Of dried sputuin
may live for long time. They can
not multiply now; they lie dormant
like the dried flower bulb we place in
winter in the cellar; but their vitality
remains. Sooner or later broom,
busting brush or wind will set them
afloat in the air, to be inhaled, per-
chance, by some one whose lung will
afford them congenial soil; and then
they will start into active life again.
and infection will have begun.
The myriads of germs liable to be
set afioat in the air of every apart.

Al instructive and timely article on
The White plague by Temple Bailey.
ma. in the Methodist Quarterly Re-
view. A few extracts are herewith
presented in the hope that the infor-
nation they convey may be the means
IL helping victims Of the dread de-
stroyer and. better still, enabling some
Who are not yet victims to escape in
fection. When we consider that one
hundred and nfty thousand people
ii the United States die annually OF
this fearful disease and that II causes
one fourth OF all the deaths Of adults
II ali civilized countries. the impor-
lance Of disseminating knowledge Of
il cause and cure is obvious. Mr..
Bailey says:
In 1882 DR.. Koch, Of Berlin, demon
strated that the specific cause Of the
disease Is microscopic, slender, rod
like vegetable parasite or fungus. a
germ called the tubercle bacillus,
which is 80 small that three thousand
Of them placed. end to end would
measure barely an inch; that many
thousands Of them piled together
would make heap too small to DC
visible to the naked eye; and that
hundreds OF them may be carried IN
tho air upon the smallest particle OF
dust that the human eye can see
boating In beam Of sunshine. And
YET, under powerful microscope, this
germ has been studied, and under ar
ti0cial laboratory conditions it has
even been cultivated; SO that the con-
ditions under which it thrives and
multiplies. or is reduced in vitality
and barely lives without power Of null
tiplication. or perishes outright, are
fairly well known.
II has been found that 1t is without
power OF locomotion; that 1t dies in
sunshine in few hours. and in or
binary daylight within week; that
cold weather does not kill it; that one
hundred and fifteen degrees Fahren-
heit does kill it within fifteen min
utes; that many disinfectants kill 1t
in varying lengths of time; that alike
in water or in excessive dryness 1t
weakens and dies; that with shade
and proper moisture it lives long
lie; months or years; that 1t lives on
decayed animal matter and thrives
and multiplies in an amazing way on
unhealthy lungs and other tissues OF
human beings and other animals.
While consuming decayed tissue, It
emits chemical poison (toxin) which
decomposes the adjacent healthy It's
sue. and thus 1t supplies itself and
its increasing progeny with more food.
It has been calculated that single
consumptive has in single day
coughed up from his lungs and expec-
torated four thousand millions Of
these living germs.
But there Is one fact that have
not mentioned. and 1t is most i'm
portant one. 1t cannot thrive and
multiply. but commonly dies, in any
animal tissue which is abundantly
supplied with good. healthy blood.
Good blood is death to the tubercle

reasonable rates may be crowded
with consumptives In all stages OF the
disease. Association with these Is de-
pressing and Of course dangerous.
But there Is q practical side to this
question of climate and altitude which
must not be forgotten. Many persons
can and should seek those places
which are best adapted to their cases.
but the overwhelming majority of tu-
berculosis patients will and must live
or die at home. They simply have not
the money to go and stay elsewhere.
In view of this, 1t is fortunate that the
disease can be cured, as It has been
cured, in every climate to be found In
this country. Probably no city in
America is worse situated as to eli
matte conditions than Boston. It is
low, crowded. and peculiarly liable to
cold. wet winds and fog. Yet since
Koch m 1882 discovered the tubercle
bacillus. and the modern fresh air and
feeding and rest treatment was be-
gun, thousands of well attested cures
have been made there. Similar ex-
perience has been had in New York,
Chicago, Baltimore and elsewhere; in
deed, millions of people have had tu-
berculosis and been cured without
knowing 1t. 1t is said that nearly
one-half of all adults living in large
cities at some time contract the dis
ease" At the great Vienna Hospital
IS per cent of the post no'sem exa IL
nations showed tubercular changes.
"The reason that still larger per-
centage Of the human race do not
contract the disease or die Of. it Is
because they have sufficient resist
ance to overcome and destroy the tu-

both in preventing infection and In
reducing the destructive virulence OF
the bacilli when they have established
a Judgment. Dryness of the air like
wise impairs the vitality Of the tu-
bercle bacillus and tends in q similar
manner to prevent and mitigate infec-
tion.
But both sunshine and dryness have
other important influences; they are
cheering: they invite one to an out
door life, thus securing the prime
desideratum of fresh air; aud then,
In dry air the patient is much less
subject to chilliness and colds. Colds
on the one hand lower vitality and
the consequent power to resist the
disease, and on the other necessitate
remaining indoors, and thus doubly en-
courage the enemy.
Altitude, though it may be posi-
tive injury to, one whose heart is i'm
paired. who is liable to hemorrhages
or to undue nerve excitement, Is con-
sidered to be highly beneficial in the
great majority Of tuberculosis cases.
The more rarified atmosphere stimu-
lates the heart action, sends larger
supply of blood through the lungs, ex-
pands them and tends to the develop
ment of new tissues to replace those
which the tubercle bacilli have dis
eased. What is the ideal elevation is
a mooted and complex question, de-
pending among other things not only
upon the patients condition, but upon
the altitude Of his home, and upon
whether he is to return there; for al
though disputed by eminent physi-
clans, 1t seems to be the more general
opinion that return to low country
after long residence in a high one
renders the patient more liable to
recurrence Of the disease than II he
had not gone to high country, or else
had remained there.
But climate and altitude are not the
only things to be considered in Sc
lecting place. The mere going into
a distant land to live and possibly to
die among strangers Is extremely de-
pressing to most patients, when it is
of great Importance that their spirits
should be maintained. Colorado. New
Mexico and Arizona offer every vari-
ETY. of altitude, great variety Of tenn
perature, extraordinary dryness and
nearly constant sunshine. But the
comparatively few places there where
one can get comfortable quarters and
the right sort Of food and attention at

Below you will find my report ca the attendance in my three towns for october. Whenever two or more schools nave had the same per eeat of attendance, I give first piece to the one that had the fewer tardy or dismissai marks for the month.
 I wish to call the attention of ala readers of this report-especially teach. CTS and papils-so the fact that a school may be the lowest in per cent of attendanoe, but rather high in per cent of perfect attendance pupils. A good illustration is the school at dis trict Is, Woodstock, taught by Miss Mildred Brown. This possibility gives any school something to work for even when several of the pupils are out for an entire month. Those who are at tending may be perfect and thus keep from the bottom in at least one of the columns. When a school has poor at- tendance and rather high perfect at- tendance we know some pupils are trying very hard to keep up the atten- dance of their school.
