Then above the clouds he bursts

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
A Brief History Of the Disease.
BY DIR. MONTGOMERY e.
LEARY.

LEARY.
Consumption Is called q disease
Of the masses because of its
great prevalence among all class
es of people. The first records
of 1t date back to the fifth Gen.
tury before Christ, or about
$500 years ago.
In 1865 Villimin. French ply
sician. demonstrated beyond
doubt that tuberculosis could be
transmitted from one individual
to another. This was verified
by other famous physicians. un-
til the disease was generally
branded as infectious. In 1882
the specific germ which causes
consumption was discovered by
the great German scientist Rob
ert Koch.
Researches in recent years
have demonstrated that con-
sumption. also many other forms
Of tuberculosis, may not only be
prevented. but can In many
cases be arrested and lastingly
cured. Governments have taken
measures to suppress the scourge.
but their efforts have not been
wholly successful owing to the
lassitude and carelessness of the
people.

something. too, for the exhibits Of King
Cotton heretofore were remarkably
good and would rank well with those
shown at any state fair.
The exhibition Of cards by the grain
growers last year with the words
king Corn seems to have set some
Of the cotton growers afire, and this
year they are planning as never before
to have the finest cotton display on
record at the Louisiana Fair. They
are determined to keep cotton in tho
front and will give the spectators some
thing at which to wonder Many Of
the best bolls to be found on the farms
OF Louisiana and some Of the best
bales of the fieecy staple will be on ex-

state. but by following the instructions
OF the experts the farmers have
learned how to make splendid yields
despite the presence of the little pests,
and some Of the cotton exhibited this
year will evidence the good work of
the government experts. There was
nm extreme drought earlier in the sea-

would injure the cotton prospects. but

Louisiana has always been big cot

known about the crop from earliest
babyhood. They have learned more
about Il year by year. 1t means more
dollars to majority of the country
people than any other one crop, and
therefore It arouses great interest. AT
the Fair this year 1t will hold it's own.

When seen through a magnifying glass
it is found to be composed Of three

their cutting edges outward and run

the fly inserts this up to the hilt in its
victim the three blades fly apart, and
then it is seen that each inner edge is
