One of the most dreaded diseases in
the United States is tuberculosis. or
The Great White Plague" as it is
sometimes called.
Formerly people thought that tu-
bereulosis was inherited. and that il
one member of the family had tuber-
culosis the other members were also
affected with it. Twenty years
ago it was discovered by DR.. Koch
that tuberculosis was not inherited,
but contagious.
Some people think that there is no
difference between tuberculosis and
consumption. Consumption is dis
ease of the lungs only. caused by a
germ. tuberculosis is a disease of the
lungs, skin and bone, caused by a
germ.
The symptoms of this terrible dis
ease are headaches, coughing and lung
trouble.
Everything is being done for the
people effected with this disease. San
atoriums are being built where peo-
pie affected with tuberculosis can be
tra fed OH NEh

public schools can receive their edu-
cation in the open air.

should sleep alone and have his or
her own dishes. A person in poor
health takes the disease very easily
from one affected with tuberculosis.
They are trying to prevent the
spreading of this disease in all the
states. Some states have forbidden the
public drinking cup being used.
People should not spit on the side
walks because the sputum contains
germs which become dry The wind
blows these germs about and they are
inhaled into the lungs, thus develop

The interclass handicap meet held
on Wednesday afternoon, was won by
the Freshman class with a total of 26
points, while the Junior class came
in close second with 20 points. The
Senior class captured one first place
and the Sophomore class won six
points. The one particular pleasing
feature of the meet was the breaking
of the college record in the high jump
by Captain Samuel Herriek, IL, of the
track, who scaled the bar at five feet,
eight and half inches. Herrick has
held the college record for two years
at five feet, seven and three fifths
inches. Everett l.. Wyman, IA, of
Apponaug. r. l.. who did excellent
work in the 40-yard low hurdles, looks
like promising material for the spring
events. Now that the handicap meet
is over interest will be centered upon
preparing for the spring work and the
Intercollegiate Meet which will be
held with Bowdoin:
The summary of the events:

The germ of tuberculosis was first
discovered by DIR. Robert Koch. a
noted German physician. in 1S2. Since
then many other noted doctors have
made study of it. Years ago those
who had it thought that they must
die, because there was nothing that
would cure it, but since the great dis
covery in 1882 many people have
learned to treat it. tuberculosis is
really germ found in the pulmonary
secretions and the best definition that
can be found for a germ is a living
growth within a living growth

The first symptoms of tuberculosis
are fatigue, slight cough, elevation

and get all necessary advice. And if
there are any dispensaries or sani-
