HOW TO AVOID CONSUMPTION.
Keep Perfectly Healthy, The best Defense.
Some Valuable Information.

The best defense a man can
have against consumption is
a perfectly healthy body. We
are all more or less exposed
to the dangers of consumption
much Of the time. The dust
we inhals is often laden with
the deadly germs. The
disease may also be transmits
ted by means Of fly infected
foods and roilk and meat
from tuberculosis cattle.
While these possible sources
of infection exist and will
probably continue to exist
| largely beyond our control.
we can only do the next best
thing which is to avoid the
disease despite these condi-
tions.
The seeds of consumption
take root and grow in our
bodies best when we are
physically run down" 1t
is at this time that our physi~
cal resistancesis at its lowest.
10 avoid consumption, there
fore, it is.,,of the greatest i'm
portance that we do not be-
come run dowr:" by over
work, loss Of sleep, poor ver>
tilation or intemperance of
any kind. On the other
hand we should strive to
build up a perfectly healthy
body by breathing only fresh
air and lots of it, by moder-
ate eating, by regular habits
in regard to sleeping, eating,
working and bathing, by
avoiding constipation, colds,
malaria, hook>worm disease,
alcoholic beverages, worry,
OF anything that tends to
lower our stock Of physical
vitality. Get the fresh air
and sunlight habit. Wins
dows in bed rooms are to ex-
clude rain and snow only and
should otherwise be open.
Screens ale to exclude flies
and mosquitoes.
A careful observance Of
these suggestions and the
usual laws of hygiene will
greatly increase our chances
Of avoiding the great white
plague.

Smallpox al Besssmer City.

Beessmer City, Dec. 21.-
The people of Bessemer City
are very much concerned
about the smallpox which has
appeared in their midst.
Ono James Caldwell, who was
"baching" in the old hotel
building returned from Shel>
by about ten days ago and
soon became sick. He lay
in his room for several days
before medical attentitn was
given. One week past today
a physician was called and
at once pronounced the dis
ease smallpox. The patient
has been, and is, still in a se>
rious condition-with not
much hope for his recovery.
The town authorities are CIV
ing him the necessary atten~
ton, so also is the county
physician, DR.. Glenn. Grave
| fears are entertained that the
disease will spread.

Ths Recall and Official 'DIgniiy."

Governor Mann, Of Virginia,
is out in statement denouncing
the initiative, referendum and re-
call, Oh the ground that the re-
call, at least, would make pub
lie officer mere puppet in the
hands of public opinion and that
there would be no dignity in hold
ing an office from which the oc-
cupant might be kicked out at
any time. We ooufess that we
can not seq the force of his con-
tentions. The majority of mon
who work in the United States to-
day, great fnanciers. great edu
Gators, great editors, railroad
presidents, etc, work under ex-
actly these conditions The man
who owns the controlling stock in
his business is becoming the ex-
ception rather ttan the rule, and
any man who does not own such
a controlling stock is subject to
the "recall" of his business asst
ciation at any time. Whenever
auy individual citizen hires q
man 80 work for him, the afore-
said individual citizen reserves
the right to discharge the servant
in case he becomes fagrsntly uu-
faithful or untrustworthy. The
''recall" meaas simply that So
called "soverign people" are to
have at last the same rights in
dealing with their servants that
the individual has always had in
dealing with his servants. Il
does not help mans dignity or
good name to stay i'll Office when
public opinion is convinced that
he is corrupt or unfalthful. so
far from decreasing the dignity
of faithful public officials, there
fore, We think that the recall
should rather increase their dig.

present conditions is no evidence
of merit, but wish the recall in

Or. Sun Is Elected President Of China.

Shanghai, Dec. 29.-Dr.
Sun has been notified at
Shanghai of his election and
responded with the following
message to the assembly: Il
consider it my duty to accept
the Presidency. My policy
will be to obtain peace and a
stable government by the
promptest methods possible.
My single aim is to insure the
peace and contentment of the
millions of my countrymen.'
DR.. Sun Vat Sen, who
planned the revolution, was
elected President Of the New
Republic of China by the
provisional military assembly
today. Eight thousand
troops were sent from here
yesterday to Mankln to en-
force the guard and protect
the Republics officials. The
election of DR.. Sun fore
shadows the absolute collapse
Of the monarchy. Advices
from Pekin say that members
of the royal family are pre-
pairing for flight. Many rev
olutionists, however, are
anxious TO prevent the Man
chu Princesses from escaping
from Pokin in order that they
may seize the Manchr

Hitchcock intends to extend
the practice of carrying
second>class mail by fast
freight trains. He so stated
in an answer he filed in the

The Postmaster General says
the Government lost seven
cents a pound on all second
class matter transported form
New York to the Pacific coast
by mail trains in 1907>8, but
that since early this year,
when the fast freight rule
was enforced on certain
periodicals, issued at inter-
walls Of a week or more, a
saving of 81, 100000 has been
made. The rule so far has
been applied only to the So
called Bird Central Road,
but as soon as contracts ex>

other sections the rule will
be enforced there. This,
say the Postmaster General,
will make an annual saving
