His weal thier neighbor may lay aside his routine cares and "take the cure" for tuberculosis Without materially affecting hia family'a health or income. The consumptive workingman, on the other hand, innot give up his job and with it his only income, and at the same time he is frequently compelled to remain at home, a constant source of danger to his family, unless he is properly instructed. It may save you who read this article considerable money and suffering if yon learn from it how to avoid the entrance of tuberculosis into your body. Tuberculosis ii infections and communicable from one person to another. It differs in some respects from scarlet fever, measles, or smallpox, so-called "contagious" diseases, in that tuberculosis re quires repeated exposures and certain special conditions to ^ass the germs from the sick to the well. It is not inherited, but must be communicated through one of the following sources from one per son to another: (1) The infection is derived in the very large majority of cases from the sputum discharged from "open" or ulcerating tubercles in the lungs. (2) A certain number of persons, chiefly infants, estimated vari ously from one to ten per cent, of all cases, receive the infection from the milk of tuberculous cows. (3) A very few others may possibly obtain the infection from the urine and fecal discharges of consumptives or from the pus joints or other parts of the body which are the seat of ulcerating tuberculosis. (4) In a few extremely rare instances the infection is conveyed through the blood of the mother to an unborn child, but the off spring seldom survive long. (5) ?o infection can be conveyed from tuberculosis of the "cloged" or non-ulcerated variety, or after ulcerations are com pletcdly healed. With regard to the manner of infection, still bearing in mind that tuberculosis inuBt be communicated from one person to another, we find that by far the most frequent mode of infection is by inhala tion; the second is by swallowing, and the least common, by inocu lation of a wound or abrasion. Considering each of these modes of infection a little more carefully, we learn that: (1) The bacoilli are inhaled most often in dust. The dust is most often contaminated by careless spitting; but the genos may also be given out in the ect of coughing (with tho month unpro tected) or hawking, sneezing, loud talking, singing or laughing. Quiet breathing carries no infection. * (2) The bacoilli may be swallowed with food which hos been contaminated with infected hands or otherwise, and also with the milk, butter and other dairy products derived from cows suffering from bovine tuberculosis. (3) Inoculation by the infection of cuts, scratches, or abrasions is not frequently observed. While no agc, race, or class is immune against infection from tuberculosis, children are more susceptible than anyone .else. At the age of 15, frequently as high as 75 per cent, of the population may show the presence of the germs, though not that many may be aick with tuberculosis. In view, however, of the fact that these perms may lay quiet in the body of the child for years, until with unfavorable surroundings his resistance is lowered, causing the di sease to develop, it is extremely important that fathers and mothers do everything possible to keep their children away from danger of infection in their earlier years. Everything should be done at home to keep the child rugged and healthy. The father and m?^er? whether they have tubercu losis, or not, should be acrupulosly careful in their habits of spitting tnd person hygiene. The working father owes it not only to his own health, but to that of his children to avoid tuberculosis in every possible way. . _ _ POLICY LOST St. Louis, July 2nd., 1915. Mr. Geo. E. Black, General Agent, Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co., City. Dear Sir: Referring to the check for $891.35 received from you yesterday, in payment of amount due on your company's policy 27, 256, taken out by my father, M?. F. Boswell, in 1864, I wish to take this occasion to express to you my appreciation of the manner in which this matter has been handled by your company and the cour tesy extended to me in connection with it. As administrator of my father's estate I failed to find among his papers the above mentioned policy," or any reference to it, so that 1 was unawaie of its existence when your Mr. C. B. Carman called al my office ort June 17th, and learning that my father died in Novem ber, 19-10, left word, in my absence, that such a policy was in force and that your company was prepared to make prompt settlement of it, On June 24th, last, I left with your Mr. Carman the papers neces sary to establish my right to receive payment on this policy, and, yes terday, .just seven days later, i received such payment. The foregoing shows, 1 think, the integrity of purpose of your com pany and its diligence in carrying qut the same. Yours truly, Geo. W. Bowell, Administrator. eaasMHMasvMSBsaMssBMwaa?

Dear Sir: 1 desire to acknowledge through your Agency, the re ceipt of a check for $i 10.53, in payment upon a policy taken by MT Kendal! P. Stone, in the year 1867, ort which he paid only the firs premium, allowing the policy to lapse in 1868. For only this one payment he was credited wicn a paid-up policy fo $ioo.oo, which you now pay me, 44 year's since.my husband's death and $10.53, in dividends. This is truly generous treatment, au I had no claim whatever, no knowing of the existence of the policy, as Mr. Stone-had not told mi of the facts.. 1 hope this wonderful settlement will be a guide to those desiri*?] life insurance that insures. Again thanking you and your Companj 1 beg to remain, Very respectfully, Mrs. Maria Stone. Tlie Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Co M. M. MATTISON GENERAL AGENT. C. W. Webb, District Agent. J. J. Trowbridge, CE. Tribbte, Special Agent. Spacial Agent Bleckley Building, Anderson, S. C. $10,000,00C From Bi (New York Sun.) "Startling discrepancies in the ac counts of the paymasters ot the Brit ish army at thc front have Just been discovered and a recent investigation disclosed the fact that sus of money reaching the amazing total of $10, 000,000 are missing," said an Ameri can business man who returned from England yesterday on the Holland America liner Rotterdam. This man, who will not permit the use of his name, had exceptional opportunities to see the inner workings of the Brit irh war office. 'It la the beliefe of those who have ? vestlgated the matter," he continu ed, "that these sums will never bc traced and steps are being taken by tine treasurer department to straight en out immediately tl ie muddle of the financial arrangements at tho front. Inquiries made some time ago by the pay department lied to no more satis factory results than the dismissal from **. service of ^wo paymasters for irregular conduct and the arrest of one on a ohrge ot embezzling $9, 000. But lt is nevertheless true that more than $10,000,000 are missing. "The pay department from the start of tile war has been not only understaffed but run by military offi cers without any business training or experience. The method of the de partment wae evidently to pay any demands made on it without question or murmur. This method had of course all the advantages of extreme simplicity and -raved the olficials a world of trouble-for a time. "The poy department at headquar ters and the treasury at home have been exceedingly generous lu ti .c mat ter of meet:?z claims, but the Limit of generosity v?s reached when the pay department Tequlsitlond from the treasury $10,000,000 to meet arrears of pay to soldiers. "This request startled tho treasury olficials for the reason that thc money to meet the pay for all troops in til o field had already boen remitted to the pay department at tl:c fron. A financial exper was immediately de spatched by the war office to the Brit ish headquarters in France with a small army of Accountants. "Thoro cannot, of course, be any regular payday for the troops In the trenches. Tf ?y are paid in batches whenever it is possiblo to do so. The method adopted is to send sufficient cash from trio to time to vari-JU i pay officers at different places where FEW AMERICANS NOW TRAVELING IN EUROPE Peking, Aug. 22.-(Associated Press Correspondence. )-'Nut only has the stream of travelers from America dropped off greatly, but vis itors no longer come in great num bers across the Trans-Siberian rail way, and English, Germans, French men. Belgians, Russians and Aus trians of military age have gone back- ; to Europe in large numbers and the Europeaxo still In China seem to be In little mood to travel. A few Americans, mostly womon, find their 1 way to the show places of O Ina in spite of the upset conditions of ocean travel, commerce and international affairs. An occasional transport from the Phillippines lands a large party of Americans who seek out the famoue tombs, walls and temples within easy reach of Tientsin and Peking. "More better when gets cool," ls the optimistic prediction of tho Chin ese owners of empty hotels. But their faith in a rush this autumn is weak and all ara hoping for speedy peace. Tho announcement that European i sailing's from America for Europe. would be very light this season be cause of the submarine warfare and the paet conditions in the continental capitals gave rise to the hope in the far east that the annual summer rush to Europe would tum C-*naward this year. There were expectations that teachers and other Americans who must take their vacations In tho sum* <o._r would surely come to the far east, this season, but the expectations have not been realized. I Chinglungchiao, which forma tbe gateway to Mongolia, ia ordinarily ? thronged in fine weather by sight-* seers who come from Peking to view the great wall. It ls here that the! new Kalgan line, which the Chinese government is building into Mongolia, ' cuta Gi rough the great walla thus con necting the heart of China with tho barbarians whom tho ancient em? perora tried to keep out by the great barriers of stone and brick. The well-preserved, ruina of the wall, with Ha great watchtowers, thread 'their ' way across the high mountains sur rounding this point. In one place the raliway builder? blasted out the great masonry pile where It hindered their passage through a deep gorge. In another place they tunnelled beenath the narrow mountain supporting the wall and afforded a passage or trains Whose smoke fills tho recesses of a ruined fortress which formerly afford ed ?helter for Chinese archers intent on keeping ont the savvies from the north and south. Donkey boys and cooties ind beg gars still await th? trains from Pe king, but tbcli patience ls poorly re warded. It is an exceptional train which yields three tour J sta, and many of the trains do not carry a single visitor. The same condition prevails at Nan kou. tlie railway station twelve miles south were tourists leave the train to make the ten-mile donkey ride to the Minc Tombs, probably the most mts show place tn Northern CiUna. At that point the tombs of thirteen I members of the Ming -dynasty are nSHUBBi > Stolen .itish Army troojiB may bo resting after a period j in tho trenches. A pay officer may, for example re?oive autlleient cash to pay, say 2,000 men, who havo been relieved from duty in the treadles. But as a matter of fact a considerable percentage of these men, may uot turn up to receive U.cir pay. To be gin with some may have heen killed; others when relieved from trench duty may go straight to a hospital, others may go home on leave at once, lt ls probable that no more than 1,500 o? the 2,000 men on Cue pay sheet would turn up to receive t!ieir pay. "In such cases, of course, the cash that bas not been paid out ought to be returned to tho pay department at headquarters with the names of the men who did not turn up to receive their pay. But what apparently tua actually happened In many instances is that the pay sheete were returned to the pay departmr.it us having been 'cleared' whereas in facr they wee not cleared ?.nd the men who were net paid nubsequcntly. put in their claim for arrears of pay. "During the last four monti s the expense of maintaining lue British armlos in France lias been steadily rising and is now ISO per cent per bead higher than it was at any period during the first five months of the war. One reason for .this huso in crease in expenditure- alt hoi.? g it by no means accounts for it all-is the fact that property owners in Franco have very considerably advanced their charges for billets, and moro c~pe cially for houses taken by general elli cc rs for their headquarters. Last autumn houses that were being rent ed by various British generals and members of their staff at $15 and $20 a week aro now rented at $75 and $100 a week. "At British I'jeadquartcTB alone there are from 250 to 300 h vises in the occupation of thc staff, the rents of Which have been advanced from $15' to $60 a week, representing a total increase of about $12,500 a week. Tho total increase in rents charged for accommodation for all the va rious British Generals and their staffs must amount to ut least $50,000 a ' week, wtiich ha3 flowed into tho pockets of a few fortunate property owners in Franco.
