ENLIST IN CAMPAIGN AGAINST
TUBERCULOSIS

There is at this time, throughout
the United States, strong movement,
movement which has been gather
ji:g strength for the past ten years, to
lessen the illness and suffering due to
tuberculosis or consumpticn n. 1t was
formerly supposed that this disease
was inherited and that many PEOPLE
we're born with the seeds OF consumr-
ton present in the body and from
which they we're bound to die at an
ealrier or later time, no matter how
they might live or what they might
do to avoid it. The reason it was
thought to be hereditary was because
many people in the same family fire.
Quently died of it while many fami-
lies, even neighbors, were never
known to be affected This idea of the
disease is now known to be altogether
wrong.
tuberculosis is an infectious or
contagious disease like smallpox or
diphtheria and is carried from one
person to another by a germ or bacil-
lus which, however, is of slow growth
and may remain long in the body be-
fore the signs Of its activity are ap-
parent.
It is usually carried from one to an
other by the germs which are present
in the spit of the consumptive being
cast upon the floor or sidewalk, there
TO be gathered up by clothing or by
the child playing upon the floor, or
else drying it goes into the air as dust
to be breathed into the lungs. No.
body, therefore, should spit upon the
sidewalk nor upon the floors Of the
home or any public building, for it
is both filthy and an easy way Of
spreading disease.
Those who are ill from any threat
ening lung disease should always spit
upon paper or pieces Of cloth in a
dish and this paper or cloth should be
burned before the sputum has become
dry.
After a case of consumption in any
home, all parts of the house should
be thoroughly disinfected by first
scrubbing the floors and walls with a
strong disinfecting solution and after
wards fumigating with formaldehyde.
gas. One of these alone is not suf-
>ficient.
In this country where the air is so
pure and fresh, too many people are
afraid of catching cold. Fresh air
in sleeping, room never gives any
one a cold If the body is properly
covered. We often see people in
Northern Minnesota living all winter
in tents and having fewer colds than
those who live in comfortable houses.

Canada, Northern New York, and our
own Minnesota, the patients sleep in

FLAMES RACE
AT COAL MINES
Stoehr & Schadt Shaft Threat.
ened With Destruction
Yesterday.
FARMERS AID THE MINERS
Fight Blaze for Four Hours Before
1t Is Conquered-Stored Ex-
plosives Were in Danger.

A dangerous fire ragged for four
hours yesterday near the Stoehr and
Schadt coal mine, which is located
one and half miles south of Car
bon Cliff, and at one time it appeared
certain that number of lives would
De lost. This was averted, however,
by preventing the flames from
reaching shed in which the explo-
s1Ves of the coal mine were stored
and which contained a considerable
quantity of dynamite and some SO
kegs Of powder. The fire crawled
to within 20 feet of this shed, but
hard, persistent and daring work on
the part of the men who were fight
ing the flames drove 1t back. The
coal mine itself had a close call also
and 1t was only by almost superhu-
man exertions that the fire did not
become a catastrophe.
Boys Started the Blaze.
1t is thought that some small boys
whose homes are in the neighbor-
hood started the fire by playing with
matches in some dry grass not far
from the main shaft down into the
mine. Edward Stoehr, one of the
proprietors Of the mine, found the
blaze raging in a pile of rubbish and
underbrush and tried to extinguish
it alone but found that it was too
big a task for him. Finally seeing
the danger, he called the 10 en-
ployes of the mine to his aid and
they set to work with buckets, wet
blankets and everything available
n CHI
miles around learned of the danger
which threatened and they were soon
at work with the miners. The blaze
was discovered about 11:55 in the
forenoon and it was nearly o'clock
before the fire fighters were able to
relax their exertions with the knowl-
edge that they had won.
Covered Large Area.
The fire consumed almost every
thing in sight on a tract several acres
in extent around the mouth of the
coal mine. Large piles of rubbish
and underbrush furnished fuel for
the flames and they fed greedily on
them. A pile of coal, fresh from the
mine, and containing over 400 tons,
was saved only by hard work, while
the shaft of the mine itself was in
constant danger. number of de-
termined men stationed themselves
near the shed containing the expIo-
sfves and fought heroically to keep
the flames from it. Had a spark
slipped in without being seen by
them, none of them would have been
left to tell the tale. They succeed
ed, however, in stopping the flames
which approached to within 20 feet
of the place. Because of the heroic
work of the miners and the farmers,
the total damage will not amount to
very much.

for the purpose of defining more ac-

The painters proposition is to have

that in the painting business, the

1t is stated by Moline city officials

transfer its holdings in that city TO

who shall own the new company, but
rather a determination not to let the

city of Moline is not on friendly terms
with that company, and even now the
Central Union is operating without the
consent of the city.
