days they knew the nausea OF

staggering circle and, raising
their hands to God, solemnly

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch.

+ EPRoSY il 3 disease we hear
IL more about than actually
know about. In the United
States only a comparatively few
cases are in existence, and danger
from leprosy is small.
Yet 1t Is a disease that seems
to fire the popular Imagination.
Leprosy seems to have been
known az far back as 4 few
thousand years before Christ.
Undoubtedly many other skin
diseases were called by the name
of leprosy without scientific
justification. Apparently leprosy
was fairly common in Egypt,
China and India.
Later on the Greek and Roman
physicians knew the disease well.
During the middle ages leprosy
was prevalent in Europe. 1t
gradually decreased in frequency
during the sixteenth century, but
before that it has been estimated
that there were as many as 10000
leper asylums in existence.
At the present time leprosy
exists In certain parts OF Europe.
The total number OF cases in
the United States Is probably
about 500 to 800.
Leprosy is also found in Mexico
and the West Indies.
LeproSy is not a mysterious dis
ease. az some people seem to think,
nor Is it disease any more dan
gerouS than tuberculosis--Wl which
Al 4, = Ikaa
the proper and usual hygienic pre-
cautions are taken with regard
to it.
The disease Is an infectious one
and caused by the bacillus Ieprae.
In typical cases there are little
nodules In the skin and mucous
membranes, like the lining OF the
mouth, or there may be changes
in the nerves rendering foot or
hand or some part of the body
anaesthetic.
That leprosy IL hereditary has
been disputed. Leprosy in the
earliest cases are those in chill.
dren Of three or four years of age.
1t is thought that the bacilli of
leprosy may spread from one per.
son to another and enter the body
OF the new host through the skin
or mucous membranes.
Complete isolation OF the patient
Is demanded in all cases OF leprosg.
No specific remedy Is as yet
available for its cure.
Leprosy Is not, however, a filth
disease, or one that Is specially
disgusting or obnoxious. Leprosy
is merely germ disease, like So
many others, although it some.

Yellowstone KELLY lis Laid to Rest ON His Beloved
Mountain Where Monument will Soon BE Erected

Atop Kelly Mountain, highest point
in that great wall of rimrock which
hens in the city of Billings, break
ing only where the Yellowstone finds
entry and exit, they buried Captain
Luther S. yellowstone" Kelly, vet
eran Of two wars, most valuable of
all scouts in eastern MOntana's In
dian campaigns, and a frOntiersman
whose career was as cOlOrful as that
of any Of his picturesque contem-
p0raries.
Impressive ceremonies in which vet
Grams organizations, which on June rs
met in state convention at Billings
participated, marked the interment of
all that was mortal of yellowstone"
Kelly.
Kelly's body was removed from a
tomb at the Billings mausoleum, where
it was placed temporarily shortly after
his death in California last winter.
1t is in response to a last wish Of the
old Indian scout that it found final
repose in a spot overlooking the far
reaches of the Yellowstone river from
which Kelly received his sobrlquet back
in the days when Custer was cam
paigning against the Sioux.

Tributes were paid to achievements
of yellowstone" Kelly by I. d. ODon-
nell of Billings, foremost of eastern
Montana historians, and the state or

Spanish War Veterans, and Veterans of
Indian Wars, in all three of which
Kelly was enrolled as a member had
a large part in the memorial service.
Later in the summer a monument will
be placed over the grave by civil or
CARNATIONS.
The burial site on Kelly mountain,
scarcely more than a stones throw
from Boothill cemetery, where side by
side lie the bodiesjof heroes and knaves
Of old Coulsop days, encompasses a
vista rich in historical significance.
