The germs are really tiny plant-like parasites, so small that they must be magnified hundreds of times under a powerful microscope before one can see them at all. Being a parasite, the germ of tuberculosis, like the mistletoe or fungus growth, must live by taking life from something else, and on this account it lives in the body of human beings or animals better Ihnn anywhere .else, in the eye, the skin, the knee or tho spine, and most frequently in the lunge, and the other organs of breathing. Outside of the body, the germs of tuberculosis may be easily killed, if they are exposed to direct sunlight for a few hours. Moist beat at 145 degree P., boiling water, or strong alkaline soaps, washing soda and similar household cleansing solutions will also kill them. If undisturbed, the germs of tuberculosis may live out side of the body in warm, moist, dark places, such as corners of rooms and hallways, for months or even years. Because of the careless habit** of people who have consump tion and others, the germs of the disease are everywhere. Every time a person who hus the bacilli in his sputum spits on the floor, sidewalk or in any other exposed place, the germs by the billions may become dry, and when stirred up by a broom or current of air may be inhaled by the chance passer. A speck of dust, such aa one sees in the sunlight, may be the resting place of hundreds of tito.so tiny germs. On this, account nearly everybody at some time or other breathes in the living germs of tuberculosis. Why then doesn't everyone die of tuberculosis? Because the germs of tuberculosis in the body cannot grow, unless they find cer tain tissues that are weak, flabby, or, as it is better called, "non resistant.** Everyone has a certain normal resistance to tubercu losis. If this resistance is lowered for any reason, the germs, which are almost always present in the body, will quickly find some tissue on which they can grow, and thus the disease is started. It takes more than the presence of the germ in the body to cause tuberculosis It needs also a lowered vitality that will give the germ a chance ta grow. It is like the seed and the soil. The scaley: parasite that ruins a rosebush frequently comes from a poorly nourished soil. Ihe tubercle bacillus is the seed; the body is the soil. If the soil is allowed to lose its normal and natural fertility, tho seed will pro duce disease. If the soil is kept up to its full strength, this parasite eeed cannot grow, and no tuberculosis will develop. Once tho germs begin to grow in the body, they produce injury to it in two ways: il) They destroy tissues.. The destruction in the lung, for exam ple, moy amount to a very small spot, or it may bo a large cavity, and not infrequently an entire lung. The sooner the disease is dis pb !. the smaller will be the amount of tissue destroyed, aa a ge ?ral rule. (2) The growing germ, while it destroys the body tissues upon which it lives, also produces certain poisons or toxins, which, in tum, canae most of the symptoms of the disease. Thus, while thc germs may be active in the lungs, the poison which they throw off goe? through the entire system. Thc commonest early symptoms of consumption are: ll) Persistent cough or cold lasting a month or longer; (2) Loss of weight and appetite; (3) Bun down feeling; (4) Aftcrnoor temperature: (5) Night sweats; and (6) Spitting of blood or streak! of blood in sputum. Tho presence of any of these symptoms should lead one tc consult a physician at ?nce^ Tuberculosis can bc cured if it is dis ?iovered in time. It costs little to be examined and cured. It is vern txnensive to delav and ^ie. {NOTE-This ls the First of a Series of Five Articles Prepared by Th?

Elijah's great victory over the prophets of Baal which resulted in their extermination ls followed by a most notable prayer service on the top of Mount Carmel (18:42-45). Eo confident was thc prophet that at the arising of "a little cloud," he hastily summoned tho feasting king and urges his departure to his home, "that the rain stop thee noL" The God whom Elijah had honored so signally that day laid his hand upon the prophet (18:46) so that he was able to outrun tho king's horses to the entrance of Jozreel. There he is met by a mes senger or the wicked queen (19:2) who had been the protector and pro vider of the slain prophets. Getting his eyes off of God nnd seeing only a vilo and wicked woman Elijah not only ran for his life out of Ahab a do mains but siso "wont a day's Journey into tho wilderness" to the protecting shade of a juniper tree (v. 4). I. The Discouraged Prophet, w. 4-8. Old and young, great and small, we all have our periods of discourage ment and frequently despair. Chris tian's encounter with Giant Despair appeals to us nil for it ls so true to lifo. At Carmel, Elijah controlled the king; in his palace at Jczrecl, Jezebel soon shattered his good resolutions, if he had any. Wo must recall that it was her prophets Elijah had de stroyed. There ts a suggestion in tho fact that Elijah did not enter her presence (18:4G). Yonder in the wil derness, his Gethsemane, Elijah prayed a vastly different sort of prayer than upon Mount Carmel. Jozobel 1B still in power. Heathenism ls not overthrown, his efforts had beon but trying to "dara Niagara with bul rushes." No one who has ever heard the ora torio "Elijah" sung will ever forgot tho bitter agony of "It la enough." The prophet who alone hnd boen ex alted to the heights was alone capable to sounding such a depth of human despair. The sources of his discour agement were his physical condition, his loneliness, inactivity, mental reac tion and a feeling that his cause was lost. God's first remedy was to feed his fainting servant and then giv9 him a I task to perform, viz., a Journey* to Mount Horeb (Mount of God), for God 1 loved him Just as truly now as pre viously at Carmel. In this new . strength Elijah wont "forty days" (v. 8; I Pet. 2:2). I ll. The Encouraging God, w. 9-13. God's second remedy was to give Elijah his word though this time lt suggested reproof. "What doest thou ' here?" Elijah ls out of place. In re 1 ply he begins to rehearse his loyalty ? I to God, and how bad tho othors were ! i and then In seeming petulance he ' adds, "and they Beek my lifo." "I only," are tho words of the selfish man and when Elijah usod thom he too ! was a backslidden servant. It is true ; that there was great apostasy in Israel but the prophet was far from being the only true servant remaining- (See 1 18:4; 20:13; 22:35, 4P; 22:8). This ' ls a favor'te way the Evil One has foe i paralyzing our efforts. There is no evidence but that the 7,000 were as brave, certainly at that moment more | so, than Elijah. God then continued ' his treatment by giving tho prophet a vision ot himself and of his meth ods for advancing his kingdom. A series of symbols made the truth plainer and more impressive than words alone could possibly have done. Leaving the protecting cave Elijah first met a wind which "rent the mountains," a type of Elijah's past activity. This was not God's chief power nor method. The mighty wind which destroys ls as nothing com pared to the silent forces which cre ate. III. Tba Result, w 14-18. Aa a sov ereign remedy God now sets before Elijah three definite tasks to perform. Elijah still speaks of hts faithfulness as though the success of The Cau-e depended upon him. The man .who assumes that attitude in the work ot God's kingdom will, like Elijah, soon be set aside. Elijah's first task iras to avoid Israel and go to Damascus and "anoint"-sat apart for special rervlce-Hasael (v. 17), who waa to be the Instrument of punishing Israel. His next task waa to find Jehu, the commander in cr let of Auab'a army, and set bim aside to be the king? not.' immediately but to be lu training for, I that office. Elijah's work ta now not that of fire; and wind, but of tho "still small, S voice." To others ls delegated the; ?' more spectacular teaks which these' typify. In this connection (v. 17) those are! strange words, "shall Elisha slay."* To fully understand them we mast be; familiar with that prophet's life and work, also with that accomplished by Jehu. (See H Kings 2:28, 24; Hoe. 6:5, 8; Isa: ll:C.) Elijah's third task waa to appoint nfs successor and surely no harder task ever coatee to any of as than to tarn over our work to another.

None of the men in the hal tory had { any idea that he was coining. They 1 were lounging and chatting as thej? 1 waited. In a glance every one iden tified that sturdy figure with its . square chin and the whit?? drooping moustache with t!ne pictnros which J they had seen in the papers. There was no need for a call to attention. ' The effect wras like an electric shock 1 which sent every man to his place and made his backbone a steel rod. t "Does Slr John French often slip t up on you that way?" gasped one of ! the battery lieutenants who was all c or nineteen yearB of age.

On these occasions he Usually makes a little speech. Once when a r'^t- ? form had been arranged for bim to address a battalion he passed lt by and went closer to thc men standing in the field with their rigid columns around him. After that platforms went out of fashion. "One might think that he could learn very lUtU> by a brief inspec tion or watching troops march past on parade," said thc staff officer, "but a soldier's eye takes in more than a civilian can guess. He not only sees that - uniform and equip ment are In good condition of the men. If they have been having a hard time of it in the trenches he can tell how much right is left in them. He may judge the character of the re serves who have filled the vacant places. And the men see him. He ls no longer a distant figure. They feel the effect of his personality." The hew army contingents as they arrive receive particular attention. "Every general in the army seem:< to -be taking hts turn at Inspecting us" said one of the new army orn eara. "We had plenty ot Inspections at home. We came out here to fight." When this was repeitei to a stall officer who belongs to "O-H-O" as thoy call General Headquarters, bo said: "They need not worry about that. They will be getting fighting enough when the time comes.
