We have three boys who play
with the children Of q neighbor.
The neighbor has consumption. and
spits about the porch and the yard
where the children play. My hus-
band h-poohs when I remon-
strate about letting the children
play in the neighbof's yard with
The neighbours child. Please tell me
whether any risk is involved.
E. C. W.
Answer-A very grave risk Of in
lection of your children with tuber-
culosis is involved. When such .
person has lung tuberculosis he
menaces the life Of everyone who
may be compelled to associate with
him, and he should be dealt with
as a nuisance to public health. 1t
is through such association that so
many children are infected with
tuberculosis, which may not mani
fest itself in an active way until
years later.
Vital Statistics.
Including Friend w. and myself,
the present population of our
apartment is conservatively esti-
mated at 100000. We discovered
this after retiring the first night.
We quoted the undesirable tenant
clause of the rent laws; threaten
ed various harsh measures and &C

Answer-Why not pay your pro-
rata share OF the rent and. bid the
landlord to collect the balance
from the other occupants of the
apartment? The best way to eradi-
cate bedbugs is by Immigration. with
hypdrocynic gas If a professional
fumigator can be employed to do
the work; but that is too poisonous
for any but professional to use.
Formaldehyde or sulphur fumiga-
ton will serve. When fumigation
IS impossible, every crack and
crevice about the bedstead. the
room and closets should be squirt
ed full of q strong insecticide So
luton, such as one-in-twenty car
bolic and one-to-five-hundred cor
cosive sublimate poison which
should not be kept in the house.

NO REASON FOR CONFUSION
Christian Chronology Really Quite
Simple Matter, Though It Requires
Z Little Explanation.

Using the birth of Our Lord as a
starting point for counting time did
not become general until the Chris
tIan religion had made considerable
progress. Some confusion arises from
overlooking the fact that the ancient
nations had their own ssystems and
their own starting points. For in.
stance. the Romans counted from the
founding of their city, Rome. and
when Our Lord was born 1t was the
year 1853 according to Roman chronol-
ogy. Having taken the year In which
Our Lord WIS born as the starting
point of the new or Christian chronol-
ogy the years preceding that starting
point could only be counted as years
before Christ and the farther you go
back INTO the pest the greater their
number, just as the greater the num-
ber the farther you come down from
the starting point towards the pres
ent. There is nothing confusing In
shts, and the same principle Is ap-
piled on any through railway tire
table. A transcontinental timetable
counts distances from terminal
both ways one way east and the
other way west. In our chronology
the year Of the birth Of Our Lord Is
the starting point, and the years are
counted both ways-those that had
passed before that event and those
that have passed since that event.
This system Is, Of course. In use only
In Christian countries The Jews be-
