TUBERCULOSIS

The number of deaths from tuber-
culosis per thousand population il
steadily deer asing each year. In
1912 the number Of deaths per 100,-
900 was 100, and the number has
gradually decreased until the latest
censuses have shown reduction to
75.7 per 100000. This steady de-
crease in the number of deaths il
probably due to improved sanitary
measures that are now being en-
ployed throughout the world, and
to q better understanding by the
general public as to good foods.
The anti-tuberculosis societies
have been of much value in spread
ing information about this disease
and in teaching people to avoid be-
coming overly tired. 1t is likely that
the number of deaths from this dis
ease will be still further reduced Is
the information about how to build
and maintain health becomes more
popular.
From my personal experience in
diagnosing and treating thousands
of cases of tuberculosis, I have been
forced to believe that the most COM
mon causes Of tuberculosis are: first,
an immovable diaphragm and small
chest capacity; second, becoming
over tired, which lowers the resist
ance and permits the toxins to ac-
cumulate within the body; third,
wrong eating, which permits the
body to become seriously deficient
in alkaline elements.
tuberculosis of the lungs origin
ates with foreign material which ac-
cumulates in the lungs of the suf-
ferer. ! do not believe that the ba-
cillus of tuberculosis is q primary
cause of this trouble, since l have
seen many advanced cases where it
has been impossible to find any trace
of this bacillus.
A quick form of tuberculosis
known as galloping consumption US
ually causes death between the first
and third months. Those cases which
recover usually settle into chronic
tuberculosis.
This disease may Turk in any por-
ton of the body, but is most fire.
quently found in the lungs, usually
beginning in the apex or upper lobe.
The onset is quite gradual and there
usually is period Of months or even
years of noticeable tendency to be-
come easily tired. This condition,
accompanied by a persistent cough
and large quantities Of mucus should
arouse suspicion and one should i'm
mediately begin q process of
strengthening the body.
Night sweats often occur in the
earlier stages Of the disease and a
patient may feel as tired in the
morning as when he retires.
tuberculosis gives plenty of warn
ing, and one who has tendency to
have this trouble should lose no time
in attempting to overcome the con-
dition.

WHICH APPEALS TO YOU!

Every time you speak good word for your town you
speak for yourself, for the home booster is always
respected by home lovers.
It's an easy thing to make nasty remark about your
home town. but it is difficult to stop that remark from
travelling after it has been uttered.
The monkey in the jungle swings from limb to limb
and from to tree at remarkable speed, but the
monkey is snail compared to the caustc remarks and
comments of chronic pessmist
The monkey does not berate either the limbs of the
trees. for they are his home-they safety and
comfort to him.
The pessmist, however, is not as considerate.
His happiest moments are when he is slamming his
home town.
Nothing is right.
None Of it's citizens possess the ability to
perform civic duties in the proper manner.
Other persons unable to the glazing defects
that plain to him.
He lives in darkness and radates gloom
He is simply pessimst, and the work Of the pess-
mist is too often destructive.
But why be pessimist! Why not optimist in
stead!
Pessimism is worse than rheumatism The one puts
few joints out Of proper working ORDER but the other
Is drag to the mind the body and the soul.
Station yourself on street in a large city
and watch the people go by for an hour Ninety-nne
out Of hundred will be happy, and cheerful and
tented. They optimsts The rays of the
monday not brighter warmer than the
smiles upon their lips the humanity in their hearts.
The hundredth may be different. He may be the
odd sheep in the flock the cloud that dims the bright
ness Of the community light. He is pessmist and he
xnows it. His soul is shrouded in gloom from which he
aever seeks to escape. He is bore even to himself.
The pessimist is happythe optimist is seldom

It is possible to be either, but never both.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: H. A. asks: "Can you
give me little information about
st. Johns Bread?"
Answer: st. Johns Bread b the
common name for the fruit Of the
Carob tree. Although tree in form.
it is . species Of legume and the
fruit is shaped like a bean. The trees
are very beautiful and are being used
to some extent along the highways.
They are very productive even in
arid climates. The fruit imported
from Europe is of 4 poor quality
and full of crude fibre. Large plan
tations are now being tried out in
California and other parts Of the
United States. The fruit contains
as high as So per cent Of sugar.
With the process of cultivation. it Is
likely that this fruit will become val
liable. 1t can be made into . very
good substitute for maple syrup.
Question: Mrs. X. j. writes: ION
three occasions during the past year
I have been awakened from sleep
with numbness creeping over me.
Have tried to call for help but could
not move my lips, neither could I
raise my hand or any part Of my
body for about q minute. would
appreciate it If you would inform
me Of the cause, and If there is dam
ger of paralysis. l am thirty years
old and weigh 100 pounds"
Answer: The numb attacks YOU
have at night are probably caused
from nervousness and would be
classed under the name Of hysteria.
There is no reason for suspectinp
You are subject to paralysis because
Of this, but you certainlyehoul have
q good diagnosis made and study how
to remove the cause Of your nervous
ness.
Question: J. L. asks: "Can 4 loon
in the colon be cured by dieting :"
Answer. A loop in the colon can
be corrected through proper manipu-
lative treatment, supplemented in
some cases by certain electrical
treatments. If these treatments are
not taken we cannot expect diet to
produce cure. although one with a
kinked or looped colon will certainly
be in better health on a well-bai-
anced diet than when eating hap
hazardly.

IN NEW YORK

New York, Sept. 26.-They have
tucked Coney Island into bed for
another winter.
And it takes 4 cold wind, some
200, 900 people, q few million tiny
circles Of confetti and q few hum
dred miles Of serpentine to solem-
nize this annual Information. Coney
crawls into its gaudy chambers each
September, falls into sort Of coma
after the last reveler has staggered
away and awakens again only
when the hot dog merchants chant
long and late.
Nothing is, at least to me, more
melancholy than Coney on those
drear, dripping days Of early au-
tumn. The sea laps greedily at the
long stretch Of abandoned sand.
Here and there workman ham,
mers away at boards that soon will
encase the gilt faces Of the myriad
shows. Here and there q lone
straggler huddles into his coat and
leans against the boardwalk rail, to
watch the gulls brood over the
water.
The surf now makes its voice
heard, for in the mad midsummer
scramble it is shouted down by the
voices Of the crowds.
Coney again becomes a symbol Of
the changing seasons!
At the opening Of Jack Demp-
sey's show, floral presents came in
