THE GREAT WHITE PLAGUE.
The Cause of tuberculosis.

In 1882 Robert Koch of Germany
proved that tuberculosis belonged to
the class of germ or infectious dis.
eases by discovering the particular
or specific germ that must always
be present in the body afflicted with
this disease. This germ, because Of
its rod-shape is called the Bacillus
tuberculosis.
Since then it has been proven also
that the predisposition TO the disease
exists in those persons whose health
for any reason is below normal. In
other words, the old idea that tuber-
culosis was hereditary has been
shown to be an error. The most that
can be inherited s the predisposi-
ton, namely, a weakened body, and
a weakened body is far more often
acquired than inherited.

THE WAR FIFTY
YEARS AGO
Continued from fourth page. ]

mention on the Federal side of pro
ceeding against DOnelson. Halleck
had received warning from the east
that the Confederate General Beaure.
gard had started from Virginia for the
west with fifteen regiments Of soldiers
to reinforce the defenders of Nash
vile. Nashville was then the COnfed-
crate base Of supplies in that region,
and Fort Donelson was one Of its de-
fenses. Halleck told Grant he must
get ahead Of Beauregard and act be-
fore he reached the field.
The very day that Halleck urged
Grant on Beauregard did leave Manas-
sas, Va, for the camps in Kentucky.
He had no troops with him, however.
Beauregard was the captor of Fort
Sumter in April, 1861, and had led the
COnfederates successfully in the battle
Of Bull Run. His transfer to the west
ern army was therefore important.
1t was a combined land and water
or army and navy expedition, which,
pursuant to Halleck's orders, set out
on Feb. . to subdue Fort Henry. Foote
made the irOnclad Cincinnati his ssg...
ship and prepared to attack the IN
and at the same time guard the trans
parent vessels carrying Grants sol
Tiers and protect their landing. Foote's
outfit consisted of the Cincinnati, Es-
sex, Carondelet and st. Louis, all iron
cladS, and the wooden gunboats Cones
toga, Tyler and Lexington.
The First Fleet of Ironclads.
The ironclads were Of the type
known in the navy as the "Eads iron
clads." They were built at st. Louis
or other neighboring ports on the Mis-
sissippi by Captain J. B. Eads, whose
first contract for the construction of
ironclad ships stipulated that they
should be ready for service in sixty
days. Lack Of funds, the most of
which Eads supplied himself, and 9TH
er causes delayed construction, and the
main part of the fleet was not deliv-
cred until ninety days had elapsed
Four Of them helped win victories
while they were owned by Captain
Eads.
One of the Eads gunboats was the |
Essex, named after the United States
fligate Essex, famous in the war of
1912, and among the first great Amer
ican cruisers. She was commanded by
w. d. Porter, son of David Porter,
who made the name Essex historic by
sailing the original on long cruise in
the Pacific ocean. The ironclad Essex
carried eight guns. Her iron armor
was one and three-fourths of an inch
in thickness.
Confederate Submarine Torpedoes.
The ironclad Carondelet was one of
the first two of the Eads boats to take
the water. She was launched at Ca
rondelet, Mo-, in sixty days after the
contract was signed. Her commander
in the Fort Henry expedition thus re-
lates the experiences of the first iron
clads going to battle on the Tennessee
river:
Heavy rains had been falling and
the river had risen rapidly TO an un-
usual height The swift current had
brought down an immense quantity Of
drlftwood. lumber, fences and large

he didn't git ashamed of it an quit
when the boom busted, but hung on
like the toothache when you are "a
miles from jawsmith! An when the
little church, that you kin see down
there by them blue gums, got so poor
that they couldn't afford to hire a
preacher, Newly volunteered to fill
the pulpit for what he could find on
the plate. That wasn't much. but it
gave him a certain genteel standin'.
an that was what he was after.
We'll, Newby nosed out Hornbeck
just like a dog does a rat an the next
thing ! heard was that he had sold
Hornbeck his ten-acre ranch down
near the wash for $4,000, which was
highway robbery. Hornbeck hadn't
been here long before he commenced
to look thoughtful, as If he was doin'
a heap of thinkin', an l saw right
away that he had something on his
mind. l had a pretty good idea what
It was, too, for he wasn't the first man
to see a great light in this settlement.
Seth, said he one day to me.
Is that man Newly honest?"
Well said l. I saw Newby's
grandmother yesterday an she still
had her false teeth! But then she
knew Newly before she had any use
for false teeth, an I suppose she
knows enough now to keep her mouth
shut when Newly is around If it
wasn't for that, Pm bettin' that Newby
would have them teeth!!

risin indignation If them orange trees
was ali navels an he said they was
so they be-, said l. with a chuckle,
but did Newly say anything about
them bein' Australians trimmed in to
look like the Washington navel?
An asked him if the water right
was good onen shouted Hornbeck,
an he said that it was just as good
a right as my neighbor had, and that
he raised ducks!'
$50 he does, said /, but did New
by say anything about them ducks be-
n Pekins, what git along better with
out water?'
Seth, said he, kinder solemn-like,
all the money that l have is in this
'anch, an | can't afford to lose it,.
Hornbeck says I, you're stuck,
IN there amt no use denyin' it.
Everybody around here knows it but
,ou, an it was time that you was
Sraspin' the situation! Newby has bin
ryin' to unload that claybank on some
me for the last ten years! Now there
int but one thing for you to do. You

more in it than you could ever dream

tion in the election of a senator in
the neighboring state of Illinois, and
demanding that one of his colleagues
be expelled because of the faint upon

sible to the agile statesman who
made an unanswerable speech against

There being a greater amount of
good than bad in the average boy
even the most crude of boy govern
ments is better than no restraint ut
all 1t at least teaches the boy to
respect the rights of his fellows.
1t would be we'll if the boy scout
movement were made one of the
features of the school system of the
cities of the region. The principal
objection to this plan. however. is
that only in theory, NEVER IN
PRACTICE, does the pedagogue gov
ern the boy by suggestion, in other
words give him the idea that he is
governing himself.
THE MANIFESTATION OF AU-
THORITY is TOO DEAR TO THE
AVERAGE PEDAGOGUE TO PER-
NIT HIM TO ADOPT THE COURSE
WHICH MODERN DISCIPLINARY
IANS BELIEVE TO BE THE VERY
BEST.
The boy scout and boy city move
ments, when properly supervised,
place the responsibility of playing
fair and square upon the boy. He is
induced to take up this responsibility
because the idea of creating a city
of boys or organizing an army OF
them appeals to his Imagination.
Because this theory of boy govern.
ment is fundamentally. correct it is
sure to be adopted, eventually, as the
form of government best adapted tt
the schools but not until the pedagoe
of today becomes convinced at heart
that the boy CAN govern himself Il
the responsibility is put on him.

time OF your home grocer where you
could see what you were getting and
! take back that which was not salts

the value of the farm land adjacent.
When selling land the good town of
LaPorte is always mentioned, the
good schools. good roads, ETC., all of
which are aided by the home mer-
chant. To send your money so far
away from home is only to kiss it
goodbye without any hopes of ever
seeing IL again. No refund or re-
dress is allowed. If the goods do not
suit, in nine cases out of ten they
will be kept rather than go to the
trouble of sending them back.

100 lbs. of sugar much cheaper in
proportion than Csc worth, % lbs.
coffee at a lower rate than 1 lb and
SO on throughout the list. Your
home merchant is your friend in time
of need, the far away man for cash
only. The home man buys produce
much of the time at loss to himself

think you owe 1t to your home mer.
chant to give him the first chance al
all of your business on the same basis
that it is given to some one else. Oul
