LECTURE ON TUBERCULOSIS SHOWS METHODS OF FIGHTING DISEASE

State Society Releases Slides to Be Shown in Richomnd in Fight on Great White Plague. While all the world la praying for peace, men and women interested la the crusade against the white plague in Indiana are preparing for a stilt more vigorous war against that deadly disease, according to an announcement made today by local antl-tubercn-losis workers. One of the most potent weapons to be used in this war will be an Illustrated Indiana lecture on tuberculosis, which has been blocked out by the state society, and will be shown in Richmond. It is hoped to have this lecture in all county schools before the close of this spring. 4 Slides Show Work. This lecture will Include slides showing the way tuberculosis is being combatted in all parts of Indiana. Views of Healthwin hospital at South Bend, the first county tuberculosis hospital in the state; the work done at Boehne

farm, near Evans ville; of the visiting nurse work in Fort Wayne,' Lagansport, South Bend, Evansville, Jeffersonville, Marlon, New Albany, Terre Haute and Elkhart; of the educational nrnrlr hetnsr rarrlprl on in numerous In

diana cities; of free tuberculosis clinics, which have recently been established in Fort Wayne, New Albany and Terre Haute, and of many other phases of the anti-tuberculosis crusade in Indiana will appear as part of the lecture. Lecture Ready April 1. A number of purely educational slides, showing the value of fresh air, good food and rest, of the evils of fake consumption "cures," and a "Tuberculosis Primer," a series of slides specially adapted for use in schools, but because of their direct and simple teaching of great value to adults as well, will also be included. The lecture, which will be ready about the first ot April, probably will be given for the first time in Elwood, by Mrs. Ella B. Kehrer of Anderson. In preparing the slides the officers of the state society have endeavored to select views and material buest suited to the general and wide use to which the lecture will be put.

FRIEND GIVES $50 FOR GRACE CHURCH

Plans for a new building for Grace Methodist church received their first material aid yesterday when the Rev. U. S. A. Bridge, pastor, announced the receipt of $50 from a friend of the congregation. The name of the person making the contribution was withheld, although the donor is not a member of tfie church, but took this way to express his interest in the work that is being done by the Rev. Mr. Bridge. This first subscription will form the nucleus of a fund which will be accumulated gradually.

PLAN IMPROVEMENTS ON HAGERSTOWN LINE DOWN TO CINCINNATI

property owners of modest means, was the argument used mostly. Repair Work Lost. "I wish I could get you people to see that the city has been spending each year, for a number of years, from $5,000 to $10,000 for street repairs," said President Bavis. "This is your money, and it has been absolutely wasted. In the interest of municipal economy and for your own best interests we want as many streets permanently improved as possible. I am frank to say that I stand for the paving of your streets, but I do not know what the two other board members favor." Henry Otte, a working man, expressed his surprise that the board members and the majority of councilmen who are workingmen, should support a permanent street improvement policy at this time. "Paved streets don't improve the value of our properties, and property values are steadily decreasing. On the other hand, taxes and living expenses are steadily increasing, and for many the poorhouse is a prospect," Mr. Otte said. "It is poor policy for a working man to own property in this city. We people who own property on South A street are satisfied with it. We have not petitioned for it to be paved. If

the city is so broke, however, that it can not afford to repair the street, I will be one man to pay my share of having such repairs made." Policy Demands Streets. "I understand perfectly what situation confronts the working man. I am one myself," replied Mr. Bavis. "The arguments you have advanced are sound, but public policy demands better streets." Dr. F. W. Krueger urged that the plan for the paving of South A street be postponed for a year or two. Then, he thought, the property owners would be ready for permanent improvement. C. B. Hunt asserted that the reason South A street was in bad condition was because the last administration provided only a two-inch macadam surface where the street was re-made.

That the Big Four, from Hagerstown to Cincinnati, is likely to be greatly Improved at an early date, is prefigured with reasonable certainty by a movement just now on at Harrison, Ohio. Advices from Harrison state that Alfred Bertenshaw, one of the leading engineers of the New York Central, and with him Kane Wamsley, Kansas City; H. S. Acomb, G. Tchottle, R. A. Mizner, J. W. Montz, and C. F. McNeil, Cincinnati; R. J. Templeton, Covington, Ohio; and Blaine T. Hines, of Palm Beach, Florida, have taken apartments in a

Harrison hotel, and are preparing to

make a minute inspection of the line,

from Cincinnati to Hagerstown. These men, all prominent in railroad circles,

are saying little about their lnten

tions, beyond the mere statement that

they will spend two or three weeks

looking over the road, preparatory to

a large and important program of improvement.

L. M. Templeton, Connersville rep

resentative of the company, has no detailed Information as to this opera

tion or its result. All the facts known in the matter indicate a revival of the line, and are, of course, of the first

order of interest here for many rea

sons.

firmed reports from San Juan that the German steamer Odenwald was

stopped by warning snots fired across her hnw whpn she attemDted to leave

the ports without proper clearance pa

pers. His dispatch read: "Hamburg American commercial steamer Odenwald attempted to leave

this port about 3 o'clock without

clearance papers. At request of collector of customs and acting under your instructions; warning shots were fired with machine guns, and one shot across her bow with five inch rifle from Elmore. Ship then came to anchor under Elmore. None injured. Ship returned to harbor. "In presence of the collector I warned German counsel and the commander of Odenwald. that force would be used if necessary to prevent the vessel leaving without clearance papers.

EUGENIC LAW HITS NUMBER OF MARRIAGES Wisconsin Law Decreases

Weddings by 4,000 in First Year, Says Report by the Board.

UTATTFSfYW Wla nwti rfc

f . if iHi , lliai Mil iliAUV Wisconsin eugenic marriaerA iaw. the

first of its kind in the world, has been

m enect a little over a year, and the results can be estimated. The state board Of health has Inst rAiinrtort that

one effect is a lessening of the num-

Der or marriage contracts. It appears that about four thousand rmmlofl less

took the big jump in 1914 than in 1913.

in 1914, 17,45 ceremonials were reported, and 87 law marria&res were re

corded. In the previous year there had been 21,052 marriages.

Dodge Eugenic Law. The board of health does not. believe

the eugenic law is entirely responsible for the decline. It says:

On account of the ereat nrevalence

of certain, diseases in the state, it is only reasonable to expect that there would be some decline in the number

of marriages reported if the eugenic

iaw is properly enforced, on account of the inability on the part of the prospective bridegroom who is afflicted with either of these diseases to obtain a medical certificate. Undoubtedly some of the parties who are unable to pass the required examination or who suspected that they would not pass went out of the state to be married, and in other cases common law "marriages were resorted to.

"It would, of course, be unjust to

cnarge that ail the bridegrooms who went out of the state to be married or who evaded the law by contracting

common law marriages - were so afflicted. In some instances the parties felt that the eugenic law was a serious infringement of their personal liber

ties and were married outside the state

to avoid its provisions. ; In other common law marriage was resorted to by perfectly healthy people, purely because of the novelty of the ceremony and the knowledge that a marriage of this kind was fully binding to both parties. : . Blames Panic. "Statistics compiled by many other states and several foreign countries, show that, extending Over a period of

time, there is a marked decline in our

marriage rate. This lactor must ne considered in making proper deductions from the figures presented. The industrial depression, whfch has been upon us for more than a year, is also responsible in a large measure. Statistics show that a financial depression seriously retards marriage in the same way that it produces a decline in the birth rate. "Thoughtful persons who know of the ravages of certain diseases will agree that the actual number of marriages occurring in the state in a given

period of time is not nearly as impor

tant to posterity as the general health-

fulness of the contracting parties.

Quickly Relieves . Without Distress - The congestion of waste and refuse from the stomach, fermenting in the bowels, generates poisonous gases that occasion distress and In-' vite serious illness. Health and comfort demand that this congestion be speedily relieved and the foul mass expelled. - The well-founded objection most people have to the violence of cathartic and purgative agents is over come by using the combination ot simple laxative herbs with pepsin that is sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. A dose at night brings relief next morning, without discomfort or inconvenience. A free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. B. Caldwell. 452 Washington St Monticello, 111.

Cooper, carpenter, 102 South Seventeenth street, Richmond, says: "For two years I had soreness and pain across by back and sides.

Two boxes of this remedy rid me of the aches and pains." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that I Mr. Cooper had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

PREBLE WILL ERECT TWO NEW BUILDINGS FOR CENTRALIZATION

EATON, O., March 22. School cen

tralization was favored in one village and township in special elections held Saturday as a result eighteen district schools will be abandoned and two central buildings erected at a cost of

$109,000.

Voters in the village of New' Paris favored the proposition of consolidating the school at that place with those in the township. The matter was favored by a majority of 111 votes. The question of a bond issue of $50,000 will come up for consideration at a later date. By a vote of 58 in its favor, centralization in Somers township was decided. Eight districts in that township will be consolidated with the schools at Camden. In Lanier township the voters favored centralization and a bond issue of $59,000. The bond question carried by 90 votes and centralization by 92. Ten districts in that township will be centralized. The proposed new building will be erected somewhere near the township's center of population.
