BURN BUILDING TO Kill GERM
Only Way to Get Rid Of Them. and

Object leseson.

A ramshackle building in Winston
Salem was recently burned at the re
quest OF the local Anti-Tuberculosis
league, because it was said TO be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be prcperely fumigataed.
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
aour of destruction were hung about
n prominent places. Among other
:hings the placards said: Within the
past Is months two men who sold
fruit, etc. here have died OF tuber-
cuIosis. but unconsciously left millions
Of tuberculosis germs by careless
splitting. The building is SO open that
IL cannot be effectively fumigateo.
The only practical means OF dsin-
fecting is by fire."
At the appointed hour. while null
lions Of tuberculosis germs were be-
ing burned, 5000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption, were dis
tributed to the crowd looking on.

Invariably go down with the current instead OF up

its scent will pass down with the water and the

the hunter who knows better than to take stock in
that belief would not be a great while In getting
his dogs the scent again.
OF course I am speaking of deer that took to
the mountain stream and not those that found q
pond or lake more convenient It being the ma
ture of deer to seek water II possible. when the
dogs are on their tracks. In none Of the streams
where deer sought to throw the dogs on the scent
could a person go many rods up or down without
coming to some obstruction In the course of the
deer which the animal would have to get over.
The hunter who knew would In the hrst place
satisfy himself that the deer hadn't gone straight
across the water. and would then go in one d.
rection along the stream until he came to tho
first log or rock other channel obstruction. II
the deer had gone that way the obstruction in its
path would be wet OIL top from the water that
dropped from the deer as 1t climbed over it. II It
was dry the hunter would know instantly that tho
quarry had not passed in that direction and the
discovery Of the spot where the deer had left
the stream would ',e only matter Of time.
But the deer doesn't have to take to water any
more to elude the hounds and 1t make no
difference now to old time believers in that fable
how many score Of deer they have lost through
that belief. Maybe there wouldn't have been SO
many deer in the woods today II Of the
