Care of Unfortanates.
At Tremeloo, Belgium, u years ago
Joseph DeVeuster better known as
Father Damien, was born. He wa,
educated for business career. buI
when he was is years old he entered
holy orders, and Is years later in Oc-
tober 1863. went to Honolulu as &
missionary in the stead of his brother
In 1854 he MAS ordained priest, and
curing the 9 wears that followed he
was frequently struck in his parochial
! work With the pitiful condition of the
/ Hawaiian lepers. In 1873, he volnn-
teered to take mp his residence on the
Island Of Alolollai. TO which at that
time all lepcrs were deported. and
there he remained until his death on
April Is. 1889. He gave evidence in
1855 of having contracted leprosy
from the unfortunates committed to
his care. but he continued his labors
Leprosy is a contagious. infections
disease, which is believed to be a.
rectly communicable from one person
to another. 1t is believed to be caus-
ed by a microscopic vegetable para
site shaped somewhat like small
curved stick. This bacillus was dis
covered by Hansen in 1874. In man
the disease appears in several differ
ent forms, attacking almost any or
gan in the body, destroying any or all
of the senses, and finally producing
death. There is a disease among rats
which closely remedies human lep-
rosy ana the bacillus which causes it
resembles that found in human lep-
rosy.
1t is not definitely known just how
the leprosy bacillus enters the body.
1t may be through wounds of the skin
or the lining membrane of the nose
and throat, and possibly it may be ia
ken into the body with food. 1t is
pretty definitely proven that no par
tlcular article of diet, such as fish,
causes the disease. 1t has been
thought that some insect may act as
the agent which transfers the germs
from sic kpcople to we'll people. This
is not proven.
Whatever the exact mechanism in
the transferencc Of the leprosy bacil-
lus, practical evidence shows that the
disease is spread mainly by direct
contact and is most prevalent where
people are dirty and oyercroWded,
There is no evidence that leprosy is
hereditary
Practical experience has shown that
segregation is the only practicable
means of controlling the disease. A
bill appropriating 100000 for the
purpose of establishing national
home for lepers passed The house of
representatives on May 4. 1916, and
was passed by the senate on January
25, 1917. This provides national in
for the care and treatment
of the unfortunates afflicted with this
gruesome disease and solves the prob
lem of preventing its spread in the
United States.

DEMUR RAGE

Eat More War Bread.

War bread does not mean n new pro-
duct which the housewife must learn
to make before her family can help

which saves wheat Is war bread. Any
family which uses rye bread, corn
bread, or any other wheat substitute,
Is already eating war bread. and the
probabilities are. actually enjoying the
change from the monotony II

should be cornbread, since cornmeal Is
so abundant in the state, Is cconom-
ical and IL produced locally, thus saw

a nationwide plot by milk producers
to raise prices.
Rise Follows Meeting.
R~aml1eations OF this alleged con.
spiracy, as indicated iu Mr.. Brundage's
evidence, included the raising Of a
fund of $4,000 to place a man friendly
to the Dairymen's International league
on the Hoover commission formed to
fix a just price for milk.
This was said to have been done In

The evidence also showed an at.
tempt by dairymeu to see President
Wilson on the price fixing issue and
to boycott dealers in Pittsburgh and
elsewhere who refused t enter the
price-boosting agreement. The effort
to see President Wilson failed.
The evidence at hand is said to show
that the October price of milk In Chi
cago-l3 cents-was the aftermath OF
