INSTRUCTIVE TALKS
Experts Lecture on Best Known r1efh.
DDS of Preventing and Eradi-
eating tuberculosis.
DR.. Cooney Gives Principal Address
of the Series and LearnedIv
Elucidates His Subject.

The anti-tuberculosis exhibition was
given, as announced in the Union,
by the state board of health at
Brands opera house on Thursday
and Friday, and much valuable in
formation was impaired by the
speakers on the subject treated-the
white plague.
Thursday afternoon was set apart
for the entertainment of the school
children and many of the pupils, with
their teachers, attended. r. A.
Blakey OF the state board of health,
in charge of the exhibition, gave an
illustrated lecture which should prove
OF much educational value. A vocal
number was rendered by Mrs. M. M.
Stroeter and piano solo by Miss
Lola Scheen. Professor Marshall
presided.
On Thursday evening DR.. q. W.
Hill of the state board of health de-
livered lecture on tuberculosis in
which he thoroughly explained the
nature of the disease and gave much
information regarding it's prevention
and methods of cure in incipient cases.
Mr.. Blakey gave, in addition, his
stereopticon lecture. The night was
an abominable one-a heavy snow
storm was raging-and consequently
there were only couple of dozen
persons present.
The next and last lecture was given
on Friday evening, when DR.. Cooney
kindly consented to give a couple of
hours of his valuable time for the
purpose of enlightening the audience
upon that dread disease, tuberculosis,
in the treatment of which he has had
much experience. The doctor lucidly
explained every phase of the disease,
its origin, progress, and how to pre-
vent it. He advised plenty of fresh
air in the home, plenty of sunshine
and good living as a preventative OF
the disease, and those who heard his
able address could scarcely have
failed to derive much beneficial in
formation. DR.. Cooney also touched
upon pneumonia and throughout his
learned discourse handled his sub
jects, as he expressed himself, without
gloves. He elucidated every point so
that no one could fail to understand
him. The audience was fortunate in
being given an opportunity to listen
to so skilled a practitioner.
j. J. Skahen presided, and during
the evening musical program was
presented which was much appreci-
ated. The first number was a selec-
tion by the Princeton orchestra, under
the direction of Albert Moe, which
was splendidly executed. This was
followed by vocal number by a
mixed double quartet from the Con-
gregational church choir, under the
direction of Mrs. 81. G. Cooney, which
was received with much applause.
Mrs. Soule was the accompanist.
Mrs. c. A. Galley then sang a very
pretty vocal solo and responded to an
encore. She was accompanied by
Miss Lundsten. There we're two more
numbers by the Congregational
double quartet and the orchestra and
the program closed with a stereopti-
con lecture by Mr.. Blakey.
Numerous photographs, statistical
charts and notices we're displayed on
the walls, and window tents, model
rooms, etc., we're exhibited. The ex-
hibit should have a tendency to decide
people to exercise greater care in
their mode of living.
