LEpER HOME TO Be PROVIDED.
Congress Has Provided S25O,0O0 for
That Purpose.

At Tremeloo, Belgium, IS years ago,
Joseph DeVeuster, better known as
Father Damien, was born. He was
educated tor a business career, but
when he was eighteen years old he en-
tered holy orders, and fifteen years
later, in October 1863, went to Homo
lulu as a missionary in the stead of his
brother
In 1864 he was ordained a priest, and
during the nine years that followed he
was frequently struck IN his parochial
work with the pitlful condition of the
Hawaiian lepers. In 1873, he voIun-
teered to take up his residence on the
Island of Molokai, to which at that
time all lepers were deported, and
there he remained until his death on
April Is, 1889. He gave evidence in
1886 of having contracted eprosy from
the unfortunates committed to his
care, but he continued his labors.
Leprosy is contagious, infectious
disease, which Is believed to be direct
ly communicable from one person to
another person. 1t is believed to be
caused by microscopic vegetable par
asite shaped somewhat like d small
curved stick. This bacillus was dis
covered by Hansen in 1874.
In man the disease appears in sever
al different forms, attacking almost
any organ in the body, destroying any
or all of the senses, and finally produc-
ing death.
There IS a disease among rats which
closely Stimulates human leprosy and
the bacillus which causes it resembles
that found IN human Ieprosy.
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 pe taken
into the body with food.
1t Is pretty definitely proven that no
particular 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 sick people to we'll people. This
is not proven.
Whatever the exact mechanism In
the transference Of the leprosy bacil-
lus, practical evidence shows that the
disease is spread mainly by direct con-
tact, and is most prevalent where peo-
pie are dirty and overcrowded. There
is no evidence that leprosy is heredi,
tary.
Practical experience has shown that
segregation Is the only practicable
means of controlling the disease. A
bill approprlatlng $3.50, 900 for the pur-
pose of establishing national home
for lepers passed the House Of Repre-
sentatIves on May 4, 1916, and was
passed by the Senate on January 25,
1917.
This provides a national institution
for the care and treatment of the un-
tortunates afflicted with this gruCsome
disease and solves the problem of pre-
venting its spread in the United
States.

Another thing Mr.. Brewer and son
are doing that marks them as excellent
farmers is, they are removing al
stumps from their land as rapidly as
possible and they also maintain care

such a number of live stock as they
can keep in a good growing condition

Prompt Action Averts Trouble

Sluggish bowels indirectly cause much
sickness. A constlpated condition not
only poisons the blood stream, but
quickly affects the liver and other or
gans, causing biliousness, sick head
ache, sour stomach, bloating, etc.
Foley Cathartic Tablets are mild in ac-

nausea, and no costive after effects.
They keep the bowels regular, stomach
