A Quaint Introduction.

An old Missourian recalls the quaint
speech with which an old Federal SOL
der once introduced General James
Shields to a Missouri audience. The
introduction included a high tribute to
Stonewall Jackson's ge%neralship. Said
the old Union soldier:
"Friends and Fellow CitiZens-Allow
me to introduce General James Shields,
a citizen of two countries, a hero of
two wars, general in two armies, a
senator from two states and the mar
who came nearer whipping Stonewall
Jackson than any other man ever did"
and here, looking around and seeing
no ladies in the audience, he added,
''but didn't do it by a ID sight!'-

A GOOD, SUBSTANTIAL TOWN.

Mineral Point is all right. There are larger and more pro-
gressive cities; but many whose footsteps have wandered afar
love the old town and it's %hospitable people. The testimony of
visitors is that it is good town, set in the midst of as beautiful
and fertile a country as there is on the face Of the earth. Make
investments here, and you will make no mistake. Taxes are
comparatively low. The town has good schools, good churches,
good lodges, a public library Of more than five thousand volumes,
and a Commercial club working for the welfare of the com
munity. MINERAL POINT RtAl tSlAlt A6tNCY

THE END or TUBERCULOSIS
Consumption-What 1t Is.

BY DR.. WILLIAM S. ELY.
tuberculosis of the lungs, the
most contagious and fatal form
of the disease, is caused by the
presence Of tubercle bacilli
(germs) in the lungs. The germ
m%ultiplies rapidly and feeds on
the lung substance, which it
gradually destroys.
The important symptoms OF
consumption are cough eXpecto-
ration Tor splitting of phlegm
containing the tubercular germs),
hemorrhage Tor bleeding from
the lungs, fever Increased tenn
perature of the body. especially
in the evening", difficulty in
breathing. pains in the chest,
night sweats. loss of appetite,
emaciation Qoss of fiesh).
The germ of consumption en-
tiers the system in three ways
first, by being inhaled or breath
ed into the lungs; second. by be-
ing ingested-that is. eaten in
tuberculous food or drunk in
milk or water contaminated
with the germ; third. by inocu-
lation or the penetration Of tu-
berculous substance through a
wound in the skin. or these
three the first is the most impOr-
tant.

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

Consumption is called a disease
of the masses because Of it's
great prevalence among all class
es of people. The first records
of it date back to the fifth GEN.
fury before Christ. Or about
$500 years ago.
In 1865 Villimin, a French ply
stefan. demonstrated beyond
doubt that tuberculosis could be
transmitted from one individual
to another. This was verified
by other famous physicians, I'M
til the disease Il generally
branded as infectious. In 1882
the specific germ which causes
consumption vas 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.

GoinQ the Other WAY.

A st. Louis prelate is credited with
this story. told by him at a recent din
ner:
The head of n Of the big trusts
arrived at the gate of heaven and, as
usual, found st. Peter on watch there.
Rather pompously the trust magnate
said:
Pardon, is heaven here?"
at is" said st. Peter. "Step right
into the elevator"
After waiting for what seemed a
long time the trust president said:
81 beg your pardon, but when does
this elevator go up?"
'It doesn't go up" said the saint.
"It goes down as oon as I get a load"

Discomfort.

The landsman through q stormy street
And shades of night was going.
The ground was paved with shifting sleet,
The wintry wind was blowing.
Heaven pity grant and help" said he,
ITO those who live upon the seal"
The sailor clinched a trembling mast
Mid mountains round him flowing,
While through the darkness thick and fast
The wintry winds were blowing.
"Heaven save the landsman now" he said,
with chimneys topping round his head"
But when the world grew mild once more
This tar, Respondent growing,
Said, eff ! could but walk ashore,
Though all the winds were bloWing!"
The landsman thought. Though storms
there be,
I would that 1 could sail the seal"

tuberculosis occurs, unfortu-
nately, at the time Of life when
most people have assumed their
life responsibilities. The pro-
~gressive case I'm whom there Is
neither a personal fault nor a
fault in the environment that
can be discovered. who becomes
accidentally overwhelmingly in
fected, represents q loss Of life
that is due only to infection by
the bacillus and a loss which
need not have occurred IL 1t is
really possible to cause this germ
disease to disappear. We know
that we can alter this situation
according to n knowledge or
the disease and it's nature. ana
we can correspondingly promise
a hopeful outlook provided we
can obtain the patient in the
early stages of his infection.
Remove any personal bias that
objects to the acceptance of the
necessary discipline called the
simple life and remove RESPONSE
bilities that the patient Is una
BILE to cope with, and he will
usually get we'll.

THE END OF TUBERCULOSIS
A Winning Fight.
BY DIR. WILLIAM osLER.

BY DIR. WILLIAM OSLER-
This is not a battle of a year
or a generation. The probabili-
ties are that it will take two or
three generations at least before
we have the mortality from tu-
berculosis reduced to the rate,
say, of that of typhoid fever in
we'll regulated countries. This
will probably be "a matter Of two
or three generations. Whether
tuberculosis will be finally Grad
icated is an open question. 1t
is a foe that is very deeply in
trenched in the human race, but
when we think of what has been
done in n generation. how the
mortality has been reduced in
some localities so and even 100
per cent, we at least feel that
we can continue the battle with
hope. and so long as we are
fighting with hope the victory is
in sight.

at Home
DO 1T NOW

1t was Bobby burns who more than a hundred years AGO, wrote:
Far off fowls ha' feathers fair"
1t is ever thus. Distance lends enchantment to the view"
Things around about us seem commonplace, and we do not
always appreciate their value. The prize we would possess is
in the distance. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been
sent out Of Iowa county during the last few years for invest
ment in mines and in lands, while right here, at home, there have
been wonderful opportunities for investments in / farm and city
property. Farms could be purchased fifteen years ago at from
twenty-five to fifty dollars per acre. These same farms would
hundred dollars per acre. The advance in the price of city
property has not been SO great or general as the advance in farm
property, but it has slowly and surely advanced. We have been
in the real estate business for the last fifteen years, and have the
satisfaction Of knowing that there are in Mineral Point many
persons who are now living in comfortable homes secured
through Our Agency, and who consider themselves very fortu-
nate in the purchases which they have made.
A BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS
A new era of business activity is dawning upon Mineral
Point; and there is every reason to believe that there will be a
gradual advance in real estate values. New corners must have
homes, and there are very few, if any, homes to let. Hence
rents will continue to advance; and the husbandman who is
wise will procure a home as soon as possible. And there will
never be a better opportunity for him to do 50 than right now.

Death of Hungarian Banker
"a. Who Revealed Threats
Due to Meningitis.

D.. Thomas Curtin, Coroner's physi-
dan for the Bronx. declared to-day
after making an autopsy on the body
Of Hugo Karos that the man had died
from meningitis. and there could b no
truth in the published statement that
he had been killed by the Black Hand
IN revenge for having betrayed a plot

Karos was manager for the banking
firm Of Mandel & Ilkovitz. Alexander
avenue and One Hundred and Forty
third street. He died Wednesday In
Lebanon Hospital, and the report be-
came current yesterday hat members
Of the Black Hand had waylaid the
banker and given him a beating. which
resulted in his death.
The Hungarian Democratic Club OF
tho Bronx believed the story, and by
formal resolutions last night asked
Mayor Gaynor to have an investigation
made. Karos was about to leave the
banking business to enter the ~aeroplane
game. and he had already signed con-
tracts looking to that md lie was a
member OF the Aeronautic Reserve.
The Rockefeller plot developed Nov.
II last, when a Hungarian came TO the
banking house where Karos was en-
ployed and asked him to translate into
English a note which had been scrawled
In Hungarian
The young banker vas surprised to
ind that the note was addressed TO
John d. Rockefeller and that II de
mended $500 from the oil man. Karos
informed the police OF his discovery and
Il was stated that he was attacked the
night OF Feb. II by men who sought
revenge for his report OF the attempted
crime.
1t was reported that two men had
fractured his skull during an attack.
