II goes without saying that a tu-
bercular patient will have the germs
on his lips and on his person and
direct contact with such person is
sure TO be more or less dangerous.
Kissing or fondling such a patient
should be avoided. OF course this
danger is greater with unclean peo-
Pile and decreases just in pro
portion as the patient is clean in
his personal habits and careful in the
disposal Of his sputum.
tuberculosis is a house disease. II
is common for one family after an
other to move into house and each
in succession TO contract the disease.
IL is hard for a person with tubercu-
losis TO live in house without get
ting some Of the germs around on the
floor. and one should never move in
to an old house without first fumi-
eating and washing the floors with
patient is living in house the floors
disinfectants. Where tubercular
patient is living in a house the floors
should be mopped rather than swept
and every effort to avoid raising dust.
Tubercular cooks may be source
of great danger and no person sus-
pected of being tubercular should be
allowed to prepare food for others to
eat. unless it be in their own family,
and then only when the greatest care
is exercised.
tuberculosis may also be carried by
the milk Of tubercular cows. This Is
a rather common source of infection
in children.
In the next article will try TO
tell how II is possible to live with tn.
bercular patients. as many Of us do,
and still be safe from infection.

but Miss English secured a physi-
clans diagnosis and had the man
taken to hospital, where he
received treatment and was cured
The woman was a hopeless case
so far as real reform was
concerned, and though she took
treatment, she probably never was
cured. The man took the two chill
dren and is now making them home
in an adjoining community.
And, so the story might be con-
tinued. The seven families here de-
scribed might be duplicated several
times over. In fact, during the past
year, not counting casual and less
important cases. Miss English and
her helpers have served twenty-three
families in much the same manner
as these seven families were served
In these seven families there were
twenty-eight children and twelve par
ents. The average amount spent for
each individual aside from the used
garments that have been contributed
is s6.75. All the twenty-three fami-
lies mentioned are civilian families
The work for the soldiers is a mat
ter in itself and is treated in another
column.

TUBERCULOSIS III.
by DIR. X. II. Cowley

How do people get tuberculosis
into their systemY A person having
consumption coughs up millions upon
millions Of bacill every time he
coughs. These germs get on the
knives, forks and spoons and the
drinking glasses. Some people are
even so filthy that they spit around
on TIE floors and sidewalks, so that
the germs dry and get into the dust
and are breathed into the lungs.
Flies, too, light on the spit and then
go and light on the food, and the
germs are swallowed. When we do not
see the germs, il is hard to believe
that we are in any danger, but we
do not see the germs Of smallpox,
either, and they get us just the same
IL we don't watch out. The differ
ence is that we know IL We have got
ten smallpox in a few days, while
with tuberculosis we may not know
for several years.

REBUILDING HOMES AND
SAVING FAMILIES

CONTINUED from last week.
There was a woman who we shall
call Miss f. who had two fatherless
boys. She was not able TO support
them and, besides, she was not in a
position 10 bring them up properly.
Another baby was expected, which
would only add TO the difficulty and the
embarrassment Of the situation. Our
secretary secured entrance for the
two older boys in an institutional
home, after which the father Of the
third child willingly married its
mother and assumed the responsible
ties Of the head Of the family.
When Miss English called at the
home Of the F family. she found bad
case of pneumonia. The boy who was
sick was in bed with all his clothing
on, including his coat and a yarn cap.
The bed was drawn up in front Of
the fire and the patient registered a
temperature Of los degrees. The
doctor thought recovery very doubt
full under the circumstances existing
in the home. But when the family
refused the hospital treatment offered
them, the secretary continued her
visits and her ministry. He re-
covered and, under the secretary's
persuasion. he and his sister entered
school. There they took the measles
and the mother caught IL from them
She was very i'll and was removed to
the hospital Though dangerously
ill., she finally recovered and was re-
stored to her family. They got back
on their feet again and were happy
together. The same kind Of train
ing was given this family as was
given to others and a decided re-
Spouse was made.
The G's, both husband and wife,
had venereal disease. They lived
several miles out from Berea. in an
impossible house. which had its only
window nailed up with boards and
contained only one bed. Upon this
bed both the parents and their two
children slept together. in spite Of
the loathsome disease. The father
was so bad that he was confined 10
the bed even in the day time. The
children were in great danger Of con-
tamination. Everything about the
house was very unsanitary. The
parents denied having the disease,

BEREA
Alison Baker

As round about Jerusalem
Her sacred mountains stand.
So sentinelled Berea lies,
The gem Of all the land.
To longing eyes the beacon bright,
To thirsty souls the stream.
The day star heralding the light.
The joy come true from dreams.
Far out across these nesting wales,
From peak to mountain peak,
This carillons ring out their tales
OF help for all who seek.
The gold Of hearts which felt the
bonds
or others as their own
Is in thy walks and builded in
Thy walls Of brick and stone.
In soundless depths of righteous zeal
Thy firm foundations stand,
That God His goodness might reveal
To all this mountain land
With wind and fire and earthquake
shock
God did His prophet greet.
But these His message great to tell
Elijah were not meet.
The still small voice which teaches
thru
The gentle love-flled life
Shall all the universe subdue
And conquer hate and strife.
Oh shining face and sightless eyes!
Oh. gentle soul sublime.
The work that you have done defes
Eternity and time.
And while our hearts a-thirst drink in
Your words supremely sweet,
Berea's strong young womanhood
Is kneeling at thy feet.
BY souls ahame we're forward led,
The clouds celestial light
Upon our daily path is spread
To show eternal right.
TRANSPORTED on the mount they stand,
To our enraptured gaze.
Light Of the world, salt of the land,
They live thru endless days.
Berea great, with beauty crowned,
Thy glory shines afar;
IT'S such as thee shall save our land,
II saved we ever are.

NOVEMBER

Now the month Of Death is here
Sad November Wild and Drear!
On the ground the leaves lie dead
Empty nests are over head.
Bees and blossoms were at play
Where the fow'rs were yesterday
Earth reflects upon my gaze
Stark November Of my days,
And ] sadly think upon
Much to do-so little donel
Ugly vapors grasp and chill
Heart and body, mind and will.
Hope is dead, and grey Despair
Rides the vapors Of the air.
Hope is dead in fool and sage
Age is Youth, and Youth is Age.
