NUMBER 301

Tuberculosis Tuberculosis is the great urgent sanitary problem of the new century. In no other direction can such large results be achieved so certainly and at such relatively small cost. The time is not far distant when those states and municipalities, which have not adopted a comprehensive plan for dealing with tuberculosis will lie regarded as almost criminally negligent in their administration of sanitary affairs and inexcusably blind to their own best economic interests: This insidious disease which we call consumption, phthisis or tuberculosis of the lungs, is the most terrible destroyer of lives with which civilization has to contend. Within the last few years science has shown the nature of the disease and has clearly demonstrated its cause, howit flourishes and spreads, how it declines and disappears. The time ha3 now arrived when it becomes the duty of all sanitary authorities to assume a more aggressive attitude. In order to bring about a more Intelligent interest on the part of the general public to the necessity of taking proper precautions, municipal as well as individual, in relation to tuberculosis, some of the known and now generally accepted facts regarding the nature of this disease are to be borne in mind. The disease Known as tuberculosis may attack any. organ or tksue In the body. When it affects the lungs it is called pulmonary, tuberculosis or consumption. In this form it causes about one-seventh of all the deaths occuring in the human race, and omitting the deaths among children up to fifteen years and adults after sixty, we find it causes about a quarter of all deaths, so that Its ravages are most deadly at a period when the life of an individual is most useful. The death roll from tuberculosis in this state exceeded 20,000 last year. In the United State3 it exceeds one hundred thousand every year. It has been proved beyond a doubt that a living germ' called the tubercle bacillus is the cause, and the only cause, of tuberculosis. When these germ3 find their way into the body they multiply there; if conditions are favorable for their growth, they produce new growths or nodules, (tubercles) which tend to soften. The discharges from the softened tubercles, containing the living germs, are thrown off from the body in various ways. In pulmonary tuberculosis the expectoration discharges contain the germs, often in enormous numbers. It has been proved that In the course of twenty-four hours, many millions of tubercle bacilli may be discharged under certain conditions by one person suffering from tuberculosis. The germs thus thrown off do not grow outside the living body except under artificial conditions, but they may and ofter do retain their vitality and virulence for long periods. As tuberculosis can only result from the action of these germs, it follows, rfom what has been said, that when the disease is acquired it must be acquired from some other human being or animal affected with the disease. Ordinarily the sputum of the consumptive Is the means of thus spreading and communicating consumption. While themeat and milk of tubercular cattle may le Important sources Of danger, yet the disease as a rule is acquired through its communication direct from man to man through the very general, very dangerous practice of unnecessary spitting. The expectoration of tuberculous persons frequently lodges in places where it afterwards dries, as on handkerchiefs, clothing, carpets, floors, sidewalks or vehicles. After drying, it is very apt in one way or another to become pulverized, and then, by means of wind, trailing skirts or other causes, it floats in the air as dust. Pulmonary tuberculisis is usually produced by breathing air in which the living germs are suspended as dust or attached to dust; such dust may retain for weeks, or even months, or longer, its power of causing the disease. It should be distinctly understood that the element of danger is the dried and pulverized sputum, and not the breath of tuberculous patients or the moist sputum received into proper cups. The breath and moist sputum are practically free from danger, because the germs are not dislodged from the moist surface. The act of coughing or speaking may expel particles containing infective matter. If all discharges were destroyed at the time of their exit, by far the greatest danger of communication from man to man

would be removed.

Begins to Look at Present as if El-

wood and 'Anderson Postmasters Would Remain in Office

Washington, March S. The two Indiana senators conferred again today on the postoffice situation in the Eighth district. It was announced after the conference that they were making headway, but were not ready to announce any results. It seemed likely, today, the incumbent postmasters at Anderson and Elwood would be permitted to serve out their terms. The fitness of the various candidates for the Muncie office is under consideration. George O. Driscoll, whom Senator lie ve ridge's agents recommended, is not likely to get the place.

ule, the prices ranging from $5X0 to ;

$S50. The Pennsylvania has for many

months been figuring on all kinds of excursion tickets, but the new "worldwide" tickets will probably be more popular than any ever issued, and at the same time are the initiative step which will probably lead to greater things along transportation lines. Good for Two Years. All tickets- issued are good for a period of two years. Side trips of any length can be arranged, while meals and berths on steamship lines are given gratis. The railroad routes in Europe are more expensive, as berths

and meals have to be purchased extra. The cheaper, or $5S0 trip, will no doubt prove very popular, although the trip is more direct, but stop-over and side trip privileges are allowed the same as with the more expensive tours. Travelers can buy tickets to San Francisco from Richmond . ever

the Pennsylvania and connecting lines. From San Francisco various steamship lines are at the disposal of the tourist and touch at Honolulu; from thence to the Samoan Islands,

tltence to Auckland, New Zealand, to Sydney, Australia. From Sydney the

tour runs around the southern portion of Australia, goes around the Cape of

Good Hope and touching at tape

town, Melbourne and Plymouth, and

thence on to London, where the choice

of any of the trans-Atlantic steamers is offered the tourist to New York city. At that, point the Pennsylvania line is taken to Richmond.

Expensive Trip Costs $850.

The more expensive trip costing $K30 touches more of the European cities, while the finest Pacific and trans-Atlantic steamers are at the service of the passenger. Starting from Richmond, tourists will go to San Francisco over the Pennsylvania and connecting lines, where a steamer of nf&A nir. steamshio company is

boarded, which goes to Sydney, Australia, via Honolulu and Auckland, New Zealand. Here the passenger has

China, Singapore, India, through the Suez canal, touching at Port Said and other Mediterranean points. From London the tourist has the choice of any of the trans-Atlantic lines to New York, and from there takes the Pennsylvania lines west to Richmond, The various trips arranged at the present time are all that the most thirsty for world-wide travel could wish, and .will probably prove the most popular rates ever offered by any railroad or steamship company in the world.

The Pennsylvania railroad and the trainmen east of Pittsburg have come to an agreement in regard to the salary question according to the statements of officials at the local station yesterday. Night conductors will receive 35 cents per hour, day conductors 31 cents, while day brakemen will receive 30 cents per hour. The increase in wages will mean the addi

tional paying out in wages each year of $130,000. The settlenu3-rv-as made after four months agitation.

INCREASE OF $15,CO0,00C. The Pennsylvania railroad has since last October granted increases in wages to its employes which will reach the $13,000,000 figure each year. In October $3S6,790 increase was granted to the telegraphers. In December a ten per cent, increase was granted to all employes on lines both east and west of Pittsburg, earning less than $200 per month, which means an additional $8,434,424 each year, while last month the increase to the statio.n agents, porters, etc., on lines east of Pittsburg will mean an additional $400,000 each year.

Traction Park Dead Issue.

so close to becoming a reality, is now i tney were

for this date. Many explanations nave

been given and as unique as any i? the one given by some or the older natives of the Emerald Isle. They assert that in olden times North and South Ireland were always quarreling with each other on different pretexts and that much animosity existed between the two sections. Among the subjects for strife was the date of the

birth of St. Patrick. The inhabitants of the northern part claimed it was March 8 while those of the souiJiern asserted -that it was March 9. The argument became so intense aud the feeling so bitter that it was decided to go to the Pope for .settlement. He,

In speaking of the differences between the trainmen and the railroad, a local Pennsylvania conductor said yesterday that he supposed the trainmen, east had room to kick but as he was working on the Richmond division ot the Pennsylvania he had no kicks, as the Richmond division trainmen were the best paid of any . in the service. And this is true too, for local division conductors earn in the neighborhood of $165 per month. One of the conductors of the division said he remembered when conductors and trainmen both on the local division and

the G. R. & I made only $G5 month.

and this was submitted to the traction company. From what" can be learned there were difficulties in securing the tract of i land desired. People in the locality where the ball park was to have been installed are pleased with the outcome, as there was considerable opposition to it. However, the park at Harvey's, west of the city, has been leased by Bert Mcrel and a first-class team will soon be organized for tha season. The diamond will be inclosed.
