How To Avoid Consumption

The first thing you want to know
| is how you can avoid assumption
personally and keep it out OF your
family.
| Getit fixed in your mind that
consumption is not hereditary
You are not doomed to tuberculo-
sis because your father or mother
have been afflicted with it., On
the other hand YOU are not proof
against it even though your par
ents and yourself have enjoyed the
best of health. If your parents
were tuberculous you may have a
tendency to acquire the disease, a
weakness that invites the attack Of
the tuberculosis germ Proper
measures of prevention will fortify
you against these assaults to which
every human is subject as long as
tuberculosis exists.
Your Weapon Against the Enemy
In your defensive fight against
tuberculosis you have two weapons
within easy reach that cost you
nothing. They are fresh air and
sun light.
The first and best weapon is
fresh air in plenty and at all times,
day and night, at work and at rest.
If ever you had the supersti-
ton that might air" is to be
avoided, forget it.
The other unfailing weapon is
sunlight. 1t is the purifier of the
air, the destroyer of the germs of
disease. You should not live or
sleep in a room which the sun does
not enter at some time during the
day.
A strong and healthy body is the
greatest defence against consump-
ton. 1t is important therefore
that you eat plenty Of wholesome
and nourishing food, plenty of
eggs, milk, and vegetables, and
less of pastry, spices, pickles and
sweets.
Do not be persuaded to take
patent medicines or any alcoholic

stimulants, patent medicines do
not cure or prevent disease but in
most cases aggravate it. Alcohol
only increases the ravages of con-
sumption.
Do all you can to prevent your
neighbor and yourself. See that
every consumptive you know I'm
derstands the danger from his spit
ting and the spray from his cough
ing and tell him how to overcome
the danger.

Christmas Cheer.

The organization of the young
people of the various churches was
planned to take place yesterday at
the Thanksgiving service at the First
Christian Church. This organization,
having a beginning last Christmas,
is to be enlarged and the scope of its
usefulness extended to the needy peo-
pie of Union City during the Christ
mas holidays. 1t is desired to re-
member every worthy household and
to reach everyone who may need the
help of the committee. All familiar
with the circumstances of their
neighbors and others will please re-
port cases that should have the
attention of these young bands or
holiday cheer. This work is done by
general subscription from the public
and the prospects are that there will
be large and important work to do.

The committee is very anxious not

winter. The extra cost of levees,
bridges and culverts has consumed
all the money raised, and its up to
the community not to lose the good

The young girl was the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Hassler, Of
this city. She was seventeen years
of age, but crippled by fall some
yearo ago she was fatally stricken
and the curtain of night gradually
stole away the roses of life. She ac-
cepted quietly and lovingly the dis
pensation, her slightest wish always
appealing to the hearts of the parents
and the good friends who loved her.
Margaret was the only child, en-
tering life with its Juvenile joys and
delights, with her comrades in school
and the associations of the Sunday
school and church. She accepted the
divine light, and thus in sickness
consecrated her heart to God.
