The irritating cause'is a bacillus

the breaking up of the tissues

tuberculosis, or to be exact into
tuberccle bacilli.
These germs, being of vege-

for the fact that this disease was
considered hereditary; for it is

that an unfavorable tendency in

The germs being of a vegetable
nature, the manner of this trans
formation is not unlike pesky
weed planted in good soil. The
nature of this particular germ is
not unlike a potato in its form and
growth; hence the mature germ
may be planted directly from the
field" where it grew into new
ground, or it may be stored"
for a considerable time and then
planted wherever the soil is suit
able. This being so, it is necess-

houses, streets. drinking cups or
even books.
But what would be better is for
every man to care for his own

a loaded gun shooting people as
he comes to them. Neither has
he the right to frequent places

Others with his disease when it
is merely suspected. All persons
who are known to be infected
with tubercle bacilli should be
required to care for his own

This does not necessarilly

Halfback, Northwestern Univer-

So that his men will be sure
to understand thoroughly, the
Quarterback should turn about
and face the backfield when
giving his signals. Before the
signals are given he should look
carefully over the opponents
line and backfield to find holes,
and then call plays by which his
men can go through these open
ings.
On the defense the quarterback
usually plays back farther than
any other man. In going to his
position he should keep his head
turned toward the opponents
line, SO he will surely see any
tricks before they result disas-
trously. While in his backf1eld
