Tuberculosis Ebbs and Flows. The decline of tuberculosis is lik ened to that of leprosy by Dr. Louis Corbett, lecturer In pathology at the University of Cambridge.

Tuber entasis seems to be following, as it la declining at an Increasing rate, It* deaths having fallen off nearly 60 per opnt since 1865.

Such material can then be hung away in clothes closets which have been thoroughly cleaned, and if necessary, sprayed with bene zine about the cracks of the floor and *,he baseboards. "If no other protection be given, garments should be examined once a month during summer, brushed, and exposed to sunlight." Dr. Howard has adopted a plan for his own personal use which he finds satisfactory. "For a small sum I bought iarge pasteboard boxes, such as tailors use" he said. "In these I pack away all winter clothing, gumming a strip of wrapping paper around the edge so as to seal up the box completely and leave no cracks. With care, these box es will last many years." Dr. Howard recommends cold stor age, when cost does not enter into question. , One of the worst penalties that can be imposed on a Hindu is that of being outcast.

The state highway i commission is in receipt of advices from many parts of the state, from i sheriffs and chiefs of police, of ar- i rests and prosecutions," against li cense "dodgers." The highway office itself is being flooded with applica- i tions for licenses.

The drive was late in starting in Spartanburg county, but the highway department is in receipt of advices today from the ( chief of police of that city to the ef- ] feet that many cases have been ,j brought, and that on the first day of < the campaign seventeen cases were : brought against motor vehicle own- 1 \ . ? aagaaaaaaaaaw iroru a LCiIW-Xl/i "* I ERTISE PAPER > the^reading matter is wh 1 g valuable to the advert! ertise in "your" paper bee never before, want to kn< ill?and the price.

Similar reports have been receiv ed from other counties. There are yet thousands of cars in the state, according to Secretary L. H. Thomas, of the highway depart ment, that are unlicensed for 1921. These are being sought out by the sheriffs and police authorities and will be punished for operating their cars Without license 'ptetesj in Colum bia cases have been brought against a few offenders, but the special offic ers who were assigned to the job of rounding up license dodgers were de layed in their work by the fact that some of the Columbia police had to attend federal court in Florence. The campaign is being speeded up, how ever, in the capital city, where there are many unlicensed cars.
