WEIGHTS and MEASURES,
V-Uniformity.
By Frederic j. Haskin.

Uniformity is the one thing most de-
sirable in the minds OF those who are
considering the defects OF the system. or
lack of system. regarding the weights
and measures in use in the different
states. In the reformation Of weights
and measures. the recognition OF a ma
tional standard must be enforced, al
though, since all the states for the past
century have been practically allowed to
fix their own standards. there are many
difficulties connected with the establish
ment Of absolute uniformity. At the
time OF the revolutionary war the
weights and measures in use In the GUS
tom houses of the different colonies were
chiefly Of English origin. but even at that
period there was considerable difference
between them.
In recognition of this fact. the Articles
Of Confederation. preceding the Constttu-
ton contained this clause: The United
States in Congress assent led shall also
have the sole and exclusive right and
power of regulating the alloy and value
Of coin struck by their own authority or
by that of the respective states. and OF
fixing the standard Of weights and meas
ures throughout the country" This
power was conferred upon Congress in
the Constitution Of the United States in
Article /, Section s, which gives Con-
gress the power Ito coin money, regulate
the value thereof and of foreign coin.
and fix the standard of weights and
measures" Washington again called at
tention to the subject in his first annual
message to Congress, in January. 1870,
stating that uniformity In currency.

States Is an object of great Importance,

poisonous forms of tubercular germs may prove
a success Wonders have been done in that
way.
The diphtheritic serum, taken from the
horse, now enables doctors to laugh at
diphtheria and save millions of children.
Friedmann's cure-sO it is guessed-is a
tubercular germ developed in the body of the
turtle, a cOId-blOOded animal. This cold
blOOded consumption is less vrulent and
destructive than the usual kind that we get in
our bodies.
The phagOcytes white blood cOrpuscles
that attack disease germs) are able to handle
the bacilli that come rather feeble, from the
cold blood of Mr.. Turtle. And by practising
on these weak turtle germs the little inside
defenders of our blood learn how to attack and
wipe out the more dangerous bacillus when he
appears.
1t is an interesting theory; it has worked
marveIOusly in other lines of scientific work.
Everybody will hope that DR.. Friedman can
do all that he thinks he can do.
But it is not wise to hope too much.
And remember this: Whatever the cure,
THE BLOOD WITHIN YOU MUST DO THE
REAL WORK OF DESTROYING GERMS.
And to work well the blood must be strong
and WELL FED.
Therefore, the fight against disease, as
against all of our worst evils, is the old fight
against POVERTY WHICH BREEDS IGNO-
RANCE end IGNORANCE which breeds
POVERTY
Give the people knowledge and food sun
light and fresh air-and in the end you will
have race and even an entire globe whence
the germs of disease shall have been driven
as we have driven ont ferOcl0us animals and
poisonous snakes.
In that day we may be healthy without
being forced to take into our bodies modified

can improve his health by standing on one foot,

He is mistaken. He really needs to sit down

consumption and smallpox that killed off the
Indians. Their blood had not been taught by
vaccination or gradually acquired semi-im-
munity to fight those diseases, and they were
helpless the moment the germs entered their
bodies.
The important thing is that the inevitable
infection of the young child with the tubercu-
lOsis germ shall not be so violent and sudden as
to make the system submit before learning to
fight; and also that the infection shall not find
the child's or the adults blood in a weakened
condition through poor food, or otherwise.
Give the same dose of consumption germs at
the same time to two children, one well fed and
strong, the other i'll fed and sickly.
The weII-fed child will throw off the disease,
keep down the growth of bacilli below the
danger point The other child will die.
Children surrounded at home with con-
sumption germs in poor tenements will surely
get the disease and eventually die of it.
They are taken-a few of them only, unfOr-
tunately-tO preventOrium, and there they get
fresh air, sunlight and GOOD FOOD. They
gain in weight, grow strong, conquer the germs
and LIVE. That tells you how closely poverty
and disease are allied.
Ignorance develops disease and death.
Ignorance does not know how to avoid in
lection or the spreading of disease. ignorance
always f-sufficient-scOffs at scientific
truths. Ignorance in its worst form of brutal
superstition refuses even to fight against dis
ease, saying lit is Gods wilI' that hundreds
of thousands of children should die painful
deaths-as though any being but vile and
malevOlent devil could desire painful death for
innocent children and horrible mental suffering
for their mothers.
Ignorance, poverty and superstition have
been too long teaching submission to the sup
posed will of some "divine power constantly
creating children only to murder them
Education stops THAT nonsense. and pros

tects it.

tens of thousands of children are horribly
afflicted with disease of the eyes-and thou
sands are totally blind-because ignorance and
twin sister, superstition, prevent the mother
from destroying flies-even when they cluster
on a baby's eyes,
Here in America another kind of ignorance
plays as harmful part, almost We do not
think it sin to kill flies, but ignorance is indf
ferent to the disease-bearing pests; flies bring
disease to the faces and to the food of children;
dogs and cats, bearing disease in their fur, are
allowed to be the playmates of young children
and ignorant parents wonder that the chill
dren are sick.
Consumption, that Dr. friedman hopes to
cure" will not be cured until the lowest forms
of poverty shall have been cured.
Remember that EVERY HUMAN BODY
CONTAINS THE BACILLUS OF TUBERCU-
LOSIS-that Is TO say, the germ of cOnsump-
tiOn-a few hours after the child is born.
Every filthy, dark tenement is breeding
ground for the germs. Cows and other
animals i'll cared for, i'll fed, shut out from

1t would be vain to protect the child from
these germs. For the human body MUST GET

If you kept your child free from cOnsump-

What the world needs as much as a cure is
TO understand disease and its causes. KNOW
CAUSES AND YOU MAY FIND REMEDIES.
Disease comes from dirt, is born in dirt and
lives in dirt Cleanliness is fatal to harmful
germs and disease is the work of germs.
Filth, which breeds disease, is the result of
IGNORANCE and POVERTY.
HyOu could suddenly do away with those
twin sisters of evil, diseases like consumption
would be as rare as wolves or poisonous reptiles
in well-settled country.
Consumption is especially the child of
poverty and ignorance.
Poverty means BODIES BADLY FED, and
consumption grows in the ill-fed body.
Poverty means lack of fresh air and sun
light Fresh air, sunlight and good food are
THE cures for consumption.
There is no use in talking of "wipng out
consumption" unless you talk also of wiping
out poverty and ignorance. Those are your
BIG enemies; the invisible disease germs are
camp followers that trail along with the great
social evils.
1t is true that science, properly backed,
fights disease with ever-increasing power.
The germs of disease are fought with special
pOisons that attack and destroy the harmful
bacillus without harming the individual And
disease bacill are fought and destroyed by
their own brothers and sisters. developed out
side of the human body in shape less virulent
and destructive than the germs in the human
body.
In the long run, however it must be
remembered by individuals, by doctors and by
government that poverty itself is DISEASE,
and ignorance is disease of the mind that
produces disease of the body. Disease will
give way to good health only as rapidly as
ignorance and poverty give way before educa-
ton and increasing prosperity.
No science will wipe the plague out of
Asiatic countries until at least part of the filth
and poverty that go with ignorance and super
stition shall have been wiped out.
The miserable fanatics with false religions
that have so long kept humanity back actually
permit the disease-breeding flies to cover the
eyes of their babies-because they think it a
sin to kill fly And in Egypt, for instance,

PIGSKIN PROSPECTS
ARE FRIGHTENING
Hammond Business Men
Lend Ray of Hope by
Promise of Support.

Hammond gridiron warriors got their
heads together last night and made
preliminary arrangements to round up
a fast city team that viii put in a
strong bid for the championship of
Lake county and Northern Indiana.
The squad will be composed of for
mer foot ball stars who played stel-
lar games in the past and undoubtedly
will be the strongest and fastest squad
that has represented Hammond in
years.
Prospects looked gloomy for a 1913
team the forepart of the week, but a
number of business men caused a ray
of light to brighten up the hopes yes
terday. when they stated their inten-
tion of supporting a team. A crack
football team cannot be organized
without a little capital and if all the
business men of Hammond would only
drop a few nickles into the jack pot.
it would not take long before enough
capital is raised to start the pig skin
rolling.
All those interested in the welfare of
a fast team representing Hammond
and all candidates wishing to make the
team are earnestly requested to meet
at Clabbys Buffet on Holman street
next Monday night at 1880 O'Clock.
