PHTHISIS IS ON DECLINE
Dread Disease May Be obliterated In
Another Decade II Decrease Con-
tinues at Present Rate.

II tuberculosis shall, continue to de-
crease in this country at the same rate
as in the past half century. it viii be
obliterated in another decade. This is
the opinion Of Or. Cleaveland Floyd,
expressed at the Harvard Medical
school. There are two conditions, how
ever. which win prevent the complete
pbAteration Of this lung disease at
present, and these are poverty and
lack of hygienic surroundings.
Doctor Floyd said that almost every
body has the germs of this disease in
his system, but that he is able to resist
their attack through living a healthy
life and through the protection of na-
ture.
Inhalation and infection are the two
common ways by which a person con-
tracts tuberculosis. Children may get
the germs in impure milk, but outdoor
play prevents the spread. 1t often hap.
pens, however, that when people 70 to
work In shops or insanitary Offices or
live IN crowded rooms, the disease
shows itself and gains foothold. That
is why so many persons between the
ages of nineteen and thirty-two ac-
quire tuberculosis.

CATS DISRUPTED THE zoo
Released to Clean Up Despised Rats
They Terrorized LPns, Leopards
and Tigers Alike.

An army of cats, turned loose in the
zoo at Highland park, Pittsburgh, Pa,
to clean out the rats, has shown the
fullacy Of many tales Of fcroclty told
of wild denizens of the jungle.
Rats had become so numerous Mt the
big zoo that it was found necessary TO
take some means Of Kidding the build
ing of the pests, and the head keeper
decided on cats-just the plain alley
breed. An advertisement brought them
in droves, and they were turned loose
IN the cages, cellars, supply rooms
and lofts.
No sooner had the cages heen invad.
ed than pandemonium broke loose.
Lions, tigers, panthers, pumas and
Ieopards failed to recognize distant
relationship and many Of them went
clear frantic With fear. Other ami
mals. including the elephants, were not
SO timorohs, but hippo and rhlno were
only few seconds in making UP their

Mr.. Stansbury says: ''In my op1n-
ion the common school funds can not
be legally expended to establish and
maintain employment offices at any
time or for the extension of vocation
al guidance to minors during the sum-
mer vacat ion.'
The attorney quoted Section 1873 of
BurlS' statutes, 1914 to the effect that
tho common school income shall be
invoilably appropriated to the support
of common schools and to no other
purpose"
For two years school gardening has
been popular in the Richmond schools.
