three terms and came to the senate
in 1903, succeeding George Graham
Vest. He also was governor OF MIS-
souri, and had served many years on
the democratic national committee.
Stone long opposed the war be-
tween the United States and Germany
and owing to his attitude the war
resolution sought by President Wilson
was engineered through the senate
by Senator Hitchcock.
After that time Stone was attacked
bitterly on many sides and there
was strong urge that he be unseated
as chairman of the foreign relations
committee. The effort was unsuc-
cessful Thereafter, however, he
never participated in the white house
councils.
Funeral services-for which both
house and senate adjourned-were
held at Senator Stones home here.
The body will be sent to Missouri,
where 1t will lie in state in the Mis-
souri, state capitol at Jefferson City.
Burial will be at Nevada. Mo. Com

Senator Reed paid a tribute to the

Reed reviewed Stones long life in
public service and declared that his
love Of country was SO passionate
that it was beyond the understanding
of many men, his loyalty was so de-
voted that he was often misunder-

"He now returns to his state his

All infectious or contagious DIS
eases can be spread by contact with
an infected person and probably most
cases Of these diseases do actually Or
iginate in this way. according to Ut.
John II. Hamilton OF the state uni
versity, epidemiologist for Iowa. The
idea that germs float promiscuously
around in the air has been practical
" abandoned, he declares. Most IN.
fective bacteria die when dry and all
succumb to sunlight in a short time.
Some diseases, he explains, can be
transmitted only by contact, direct or
indirect, but there are a few which
may be spread through the medium
Of drinking water, milk, or other
food materials. Typhoid is a good
example Of this type. for 1t is esti,
mated that sixty per cent OF all
typhoid cases arise in one OF these
ways.
OverercwdIng Is Dangerous.
Diseases OF the respiratory tract,
such as diphtheria or pneumonia, are
often transmitted in public gatherings

is overcrowded. The spread takes

by infected persons in coughing. or
sneezing, or talking. In either OF the
two main methods OF transfer the
nose or the mouth is the portal OF
entry for the bacteria finally.
Scales play a minor part, almost
negligible, the state epidemiologist
believes, in the spread of small pox.
The pus OF the sores in the early
stages Of the disease might occasion
ally be conveyed to the mouth or nose
Of the exposed person and thence to
the respiratory tract proper. but the
far more common agency OF transfer
is the excretiOns from the respiratory
tract which occur in sneezing or other
forms of forced breathing

DR.. Hamilton suggests a few pre-

Here they are:

known to have an infectious disease.
2. If the cases are at all numer-
Gus, limit public gatherings as much
as possible. In meetings that must
be held, guard against overcrowding
and be sure that ventilation Is good
