MANNER OF GOING TO SLEEP

are all unconscious. The first to be
affected is the eyesight. The eye

BURN BUILDING TO KILL GERM
Only Way to Get Rid Of Them. and
Occasion Was Made a Good
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 properely fumigataed.
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour OF destruction were hung about
In prominent places. Among other
things the placards said: within the
past is months two men who sold
fruit, ETC., here have died of tuber-
culosis, but unconsciously left millions
OF tuberculosis germs by careless
splitting. The building is SO open that
1t cannot be effectively fumigated.
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.
