his ears. He fought the decision.
 Early was taken in custody to | New York hospital. and later trans ferred to the U. S. leper colony at Carrville. There he has been Q colorful figure ever since. He or ganized a club at Carrville. the members all ex-service men who had developed leprosy. The built club house on the edge of the colony and fitted it up with all conveniences. But John Early had the itching foot. The government paid him a pen- sion for his army services. He would let the pension checks pile up until they totaled sizeable sum. Then he would vanish from the leper col ony, to keep out of sight days and weeks, months even. and bob up again anywhere In the United States.
 Always Comes Back
 Once he went to Washington, re- gistered at prominent hotel. en- joyed the sights of the capital for two weeks. and then. broke and weary, gave himself up to the fed eral authorities.
 About six months ago he escaped, went to North Carolina. and set up a camp near Burnsville. on tract of land he claimed he owned. When he got tired of camping out he in vited the authorities to come and get him.
 Always at the end of his innum- orable escapes to freedom, Early comes back or is brought back to Dr. William c. Fowler, at Washing ton. his oldest friend.
 Now 1t happens that Dr. Fowler has large staff of clerks and sten- ographers, girls and men alike. And while Dr. Fowler has a physicians indifference to associating with leper his office staff can't get that viewpoint. Too many times John Early walked into the office, walk cd down the long aisles. and brush ed sleeves with dainty stenographers and well-groomed clerks. They don't like it. So now, when the wires carry the news that John Early is out again, there is always near walkout in Dr. Fowler's office until the lepcr is safely back at Carrville.
 But the office has developed sys- tenn. There is one old employe who knows John Early well by sight. The minute the daily papers carry the news that John Early is out again, that employe goes on sentry duty. And the office works peacefully away knowing that sometime, sooner or later, the door will open and the sentry will call: Here he comes!"

EARLY IN AND OUT
 0F LEPER COLONY
Sufferer From Disease Runs
 Away Often

New Orleans, La, July 21-John Early, Americas most famous leper, has escaped once more.
 We'll on the road to a complete cure at states leprosarium at Carr vile, La, this Spanish American War veteran, who contracted the disease while on military service in the Philippine Islands, has run away from the federal hospital and vanished into the midst of a nation of more than 100,O00,00O people.
 They cant tell you up at Carryille Just how many escapes this makes for Early-not unless they go over the records back toward 1908 when he was first officially pronounced a leper and placed in confinement.
 John is an incurable runaway and has escaped probably 20 times.
 Old Lepcr's Cure Works.
 Chaulmooga oil taken by injec- tons into the body. is the treatment that within two years would have set John Early free. Chaulmooga oil--a treatment for leprosy that is more than one thousand years old has been made much more effective by modern science.
 There is no longer any question in our minds" says Dr. o. E. Dem ney, of the |. s. public health serv- ice, in charge of the [. S. leprosar- ium at Carrville, that when we get hold of case of leprosy early enough, and treat it with chaul- mooga oil, we can remove from that patient any danger of communicat- ing the disease to those with whom the patient comes in contact. We have already discharged fourteen patients from Carrville after that treatment and after long periods of observation. And within two years we would have discharged John Early"
 All patients at the leprosarium except Early are protected by 
 Most Famous Leper
 But it would have been foolish. the authorities knew. to try to shroud John Early with the pro- lection of anonymity, for he is the most widely known leper in the world. He has noobdy but himself to thank for it. Too often John Early has set the whole United States by the ears.
 Back in 1898 he enlisted in the army and fought through the Span ish- America war, with service in Cuba and the Philippines. He was honorably discharged after the war ended. He married. Two children were born.
 Then the symptoms of some strange disease appeared on his skin. Doctors were baffled. At last, as an ex-soldier, Early went to Washing ton and appealed to the government health authorities.
 They placed him in quarantine near Washington. They took an abandoned housce, surrounded It with a barbed wire fence, and put an armed guard to patrol outside that fence.
 Then the doctors decided John Early had leprosy. and his whole world came tumbling down about
