This week Mrs. j. E. Stevens Of Grand
Forks, one Of the officials of the North
Dakota tuberculosis Association, has
been in che city aud with the assistance
of lantern slides, has been educating the
school children, teachers and the parents
as to the dangers, and treatment of this
disease.
Mrs. Stevens is an interesting speaker,
and the work she is doing deserves the
encouragement Of every good citizen.
1t is an education that is needed. Both
the patients and the relatives need it.
Thousands of lives are lost every year
through sheer ignorance.
Perhaps comparatively few people even
knew that the state of North Dakota has
a tuberculosis sanitarium tabllshed
out in the Turtle Mountain country, and
that its establishment was largely due
according to the testimony of Mrs.
Stevens, to our own ex-state Senator
Judson LaMoure, who as chairman ol
the appropriation committee, was most
influential in getting the necessary ap-
preparation.
BY united effort this disease can be
put out of existance. Let US unite for
self protection and for the protection oI
future generations.

CONSUMPTION

Not more than twenty five years ago,
the general idea among ordinary people
was, that consumption was almost en-
tirely an inherited disease. 1t was
thought to be practically incurable, and
but few people thought it contagious.
To-day, all the foregoing ideas have
been proven wrong. While consumption
is undoubtedly inherited, in that child
rem of consumptive parents or ancestors
from lack of natural vigor or physique
are more liable to contagion, yet it is
certain that consumption is certainly
but rarely, If ever, a direct Inheritance.
Its now known that consumptive
patients should be isolated to certain
extent, and that their sputum is deadly
poison when its dried particles 60 float
ing on the air to be breathed by others.
1t is now certain that large part Of
those afflicted, if taken in time, can be
cured simply by the nature medicine Of
Gods outdoors.
When tits considered that consump.
tion was the cause of more deaths than
any other known disease. that discover.
les mean very much to suffering human
ity.
As yet this gospel Of health is still un-
known to very large number Of people.
