TUBERCULOSIS
FACTS

TUBERCULOSIS is caused by
living germs. These germs
- will not grow in the body
of a healthy person. Outside of
the body they may live in warm,
damp and dark places for a long
time. In a weak body they grow
fast.
They are killed in few hours
by direct sunlight and in few
days Of ordinary daylight. The
lungs are the most vulnerable or
CANS, but tuberculosis also at
tacks the glands, the bones, the
brain and the kidneys.
tuberculosis germs frequently
remain in a gland for years with
out growing. provided good care
is taken of the body. If bodily
resistance is lowered, however,
through illness or carelessness
about getting enough food, sleep,
fresh air and exercise, then the
germs may find a chance to grow.
Children are not born with con-
sumption; it is not hereditary.
The children of consumptiVe par
ents may be born weak and un-
able to resist the germs when
they later enter their bodies but
If they are we'll cared for they
will become healthy adults.
We all swallow or breathe the
germs of tuberculosis, but they
do not multiply if our vitality is
what it ought to be. Even when
infection takes place, the great
majority of those affected re-
cover. This is proven by the
rarity with which persons dying
of other diseases are found to be
free from old areas of health
tuberculosis.
All of which goes to show that
there Is little reason to despair
of saving one showing signs Of
tuberculosis, provided reasonable
steps are taken to combat the
infection. tuberculosis is cura-
BILE in the majority of cases, II
promptly treated.
No medicine will cure tubercu-
losis. Arrest or recovery is eff
fected through rest, good food,
fresh air and sunshine, judicious-
ly employed under medical direc-
ton.

Everything was arranged, Don

earlier; there were still a great

I've been going with a young man

a month.
About month ago we became
engaged, deciding to get married
any time l was ready. I'm sure
he loves me, but I found out that
he made a date with a girl that
he went with last summer after
we broke up. I let him know it
before the night of the engage
ment and he didn't keep it. But
l am peeved with him just the
same. He seems to be real sorry
for it. and when he called the girl
up to break the engagement he
told her that we were engaged
now and that he couldn't see her.

He continually calls me up, say.
ing that he is sorry and asking
for another chance. I've prom

know If I'll take him back within

Where had these men not
fought? On their own soil, and
on that Of the Allies, and per-
haps in the Orient. and now they
were returning again to the land
of their first combats. Just when
they were thinking they had ac-
complished everything, they dis
covered that they had yet done
nothing. In the weaving and un-
weaving of the web of war, it
was necessary to begin all over
again. Four years before sthey
imagined they had triumphed de-
cisively on the banks of the
Marine, and now they were re-
turning once more to the Marine.
Every winter, sunk in the mud,
buried in the trenches, under the
rain, they said to one another:
This will be the last" And an.
other winter came, and another,
and still another on the heels of
the last, without any noticeable
change. This was the reason
for their fatalistic and re-
signed demeanor, the look of men
who adapt themselves to every
thing and finally come to be-
lieve that their misery will be
eternal, that human times of,
peace will never return.
Castro stopped talking a mo-

the face of his friend, which
seemed to be asking what this
story could possibly have to do

Big Majority of Fifty or More
Fights Are in That
Class.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 20
Fighting bantamweights, opponents
who tipped the scales six to eight
pounds heavier than his displace-
ment, is nothing new with Pancho
villa, the ruler of all flyweights.
Since invading these shores several
years ago. the Filipino midget has
engaged in fifty or more ring bat
ties. A big majority of his bouts
were with bantams because the al
mond-eyed lad found flyweights
were not anxious to test their
fistic wares in combat with him.
When Villa squares off with Jabez
White at the arena on Monday
night, it will be the first time he
has met the aggressive New York
redhead. who has been a trial horse
for Joe Lynch and other leaders in
the bantamweight division. On ac
. count of his record against other
bantamweights, Villa will be in
stalled as favorite to beat White
but local fans expect the New York
bantam to force the fIyweight
champion to extend himself.
