4 PARDON
FOR COOPER
NEW TRIAL EOR SON
Tennessee is Shocked By Action
of the Governor.

Nashville. Tenn, April ID
Governor Patterson this after
noon pardoned Colonel Duncan
b. Cooper, whose sentence OF 20
years in the penitentiary for the
murder Of United Senator f. w.
Carmack. was confirmed by the
state supreme court.
Although it was believed by
many that the chief executive
would take this action. the par
don. coming 50 soon as the action
Of the court, created a sensation.
Governor Patterson, in pardon
ing Colonel Cooper, said
Being thoroughly familiar
with the records, having read all
the testimony. and to certain
facts within my personal knoWl-
edge. it is neither desirable nor
necessary to delay action for pc
tition to be presented. asking eX-
ecutive clemency.
I'm my opinion. neither of the
defendants are guilty, nor were
they given a fair and impartial
trial; but were convicted con
trary to law and evidence. The
actions Of the supreme court, IN
vacating the Judgment as to Rob
in Cooper. leaves the sentence Of
final conviction as to his co-defen-
dant. The proof showed that
Robin Cooper killed the deceased
and that d. B. Cooper did not
fire a shot Without reflection
upon the court. it Is inconceiv-
able to my mind and repugnant
to every principle of justice that
a man should be found guilty of
murder. who was not in a c5n-
sniracy to kill. and who, in fact,
did not kill. -

AN ADDRESS TO
THE PEOPLE.
Reprinted from the April Issue of the
st. Louis Municipal Commission
on tuberculosis.
What We Mean by tuberculosis.

What We Mean by tuberculosis.
TUBERCULOSIS called also con-
sumption, phthisis, decline, etc. is
an ancient, universal and fatal dis
ease.
Ancient, for writers long be-
fore the Christian era describe
it and recognize that it can be
Caught, i. e., that ii is a disorder
not arising of itself merely from inn
proper use of the human machine,
but dependent on the introduction in
to it of something from without-iust
as in any ordinary machine, there is
a vast difference between its getting
out of gear from mere wear and tear
and a similar condition arising from
the presence Of grit or other material
which does not properly belong
there. This Something" of which
more presently, has been found in
the bodies Of the Egyptian mummies,
buried ages before the Christian era.
Universal, for, with the exception
of a few savage races in their prim-
tive, wandering, out door life, it is
found in all countries and peoples.
Fatal for it causes in the United
States alone some 100000 deaths ev-
cry year; in Missouri about 5000; in
st. Louis over 1900. About one in
! seven of all deaths, and one in every
three who die between Is and As
} years are due to tuberculosis; yet

\ dredS of causes of death.

ventable and durable, since we have

material.
How tuberculosis is Recognized.
1t should be suspected from the
presence of two or more of the fol-
lowing symptoms:
Cough lasting over a month,
Loss of weight.
Afternoon feverishness.
Splitting of blood.
A tired or run down feeling, with
unusual inability or capriciousness,
listlessneSS, etc.
Sweating at night, particularly of
the head.
These symptoms call for medical
advice.
The Principles of Treatment.
tuberculosis is durable, but early
recognition is necessary.
Light, fresh air, cleanliness, rest of
body and mind, sufficiency of
wholesome food. If these can be OBJ
tanned at home under the direction of
a wise physician, cure maybe obtain
ed at home. For those who are I'M
able to pay for medical advice there
are
tuberculosis dispensaries, which
give free advice and necessary med
icines. To those who are too poor
to obtain the essentials and carry out
medical advice at home
Sanitarium treatment is advised.
Avoid patent medicines andsadver-
tised "cures." They never cure,
and more often than not do positive
harm.
The Principles of Prevention.
BY general education OF the public
as to the facts that the disease is com
municable, preventable and durable.
tuberculosis may be prevented by
people learning how to overcome the
predisposing causes and how to avoiC
the exciting cause.
The predisposing causes may bt
overcome when the people are edu
Gated to
Nourish their bodies with sufficien
wholesome food, eaten leisurely a
properly intervals and in clearly sur
roundings.
Practice strict personal cleanliness
Live as much as possible out o.
doors, insist on as much fresh air anC
sunshine as possible indoors, avoiC
overwork and unwholesome food ano

cessive indulgence in alcoholic bev'
erages, tobacco, and the use of drugs

How tuberculosis is Caused.

immediate, or exciting; just as to
cause an explosion you must first
have an explosive substance, some
thing liable to go off and then must
bring into contact with it an exciting
cauSe-fire, conclusion, or what not
that is liable to set it off. Without
the concurrence of these you cannot
have an explosion, nor can you have
an outbreak of tuberculosis without
predisposing cause, proneness or
liability, and an exciting cause.
The predisposing cause is anything
that so weakens the body that it is
liable to be upset on the application
of the exciting cause. The body may
be weak inherently, i. e., the child
may be born weak (but it must
be clearly understood that the dis
ease itself is not hereditary, as
was formerly supposed. 1t some
times runs in families" be-
cause the members, by constant
association with one another, are
exposed to attack by the exciting
cause.-the germ. If a child born in
to such a family could be removed at
birth to surroundings entirely free,
it would not develop the diseaSe).
Or it may become weakened as a
consequence of previous diseases,
grippe, pleurisy, typhoid, pneumonia,
the infectious diseases, etc.
Abuse of alcoholic beverages or
tobacco,
insufficient or unwholesome food,
Exposure to impure air, or dark
ness, in overcrowded, ill ventilated
rooms, or to inhalation of dust in GER
tain occupations.
The exciting cause is infection with
the tuberculosis germ in predispos-
ed constitution. Infection may take
place by inhalation, especially of
the dried germs from the spu-
tum of consumptives who spit
about carelessly, or by droplet
infection when the consump-
tives talk, cough or sneeze in close
proximity to others. Ingestion,
by swallowing the germs with
food, milk, infected in produce

What tuberculosis is.

A disease or arrangement of the
body caused by the growth within it
of special germ, the
Tubercle Bacillus. This is living
vegetable organism so minute that it
would require about 10000 placed
end to end to measure an inch. A
consumptive in the late stage may
throw out in his sputum millions of
such germs in a single day. In the
course of its life, growth and repro
duction, this germ produces toxins
Tor poisons), which poison the
system, breaking down the It's
sues and causing the symptoms by
which we recognize its presence.
The lungs are its commonest seat,
but it may occur in any part of the
system, especially the bones and
joints.
