The Lexington Dispatch. Wednesday, April 2, 1902. LEPEOSY 1ST TEE TJ. S. Not Ore Cass Reported from South Carolina. Washington, March 24 ?The Secretary of the Treasury today sent tc the Senate a report of the commis sion of medical officers of the marine hospital service, appointed to investigate the origin and prevalence ci leprosy in the United States. The eVintro 97? mscu nf lpnrnsv in icyuiu OUytTO M I V V- ? in the United States, distributed bj States as follows: Alabama,. 1: California, 24: Florida, 24; Georgia, 1; IlliDoia, 5; Iowa. 1: Louisiana, 155; Maryland, 1, Mass achusetts, 2; Minnesota, 20; Missouri, 5; Montana, 1; Nevada, 1; New York, 7; North Dakota, 18; Oregon. 1: Pennsylvania, 1; South Dakota, 1; Texas, 3; Wisconsin, 3. Of the total number 176 are males 102 females; 145 American born, 12C foreign born and the remainder uncertain. It is stated that 186 of the cases were contracted in the United States, but the opinion is expressed by the commission tbat this number is too large and that some of these cases were brought from abroach Summarizing the committee say that the number of cases is smaller than is generally believed. They also say that leprosy is conveyed from one nersnn to another in the United ir - - - - - States, such conveyance being most markably noticeable in the States on the Southern coast; that a large majority of the cases im the United States (33 per cent.) are at large; that at present only 72 of the cases are isolated and provided for by the States or cities in which they are located, and that many of those now at large, if not all, would be willing to be cared for if the proper lepresoria existed for their treatment and comfort The comm.ssion recommends the establisment of a reteat for lepers, and expresses the opinion that it should be in the arid Southwest, or in a similar region further north, or on an island in the Gulf of Mexico or on the Pacific coast. Of the 155 cases reported from Louisiana. 101 are in New Orleans county and 37 in the leper home at Iberville. Of the 7 cases in New York, 4 are in King's county and 3 in New York county. The commission expresses the opinion that the figures given do not represent the total number of lepers in the country because they say that the loathsome character of the disease causes persons affected to conceal it as long as possible. They also express the opinion that it is most frequently contracted by inhaling dust where lepers h3ve been located. Saved Many a Tine. Don't neglect coughs and colds even if it is spring.

Knoxville Sentinel. It is astonishing bow the public locks upon the newspaper as a free horee to be ridden to death. People will pay money for a band, for lights, janitor, to go to a job priniing office and buy thousands of dodgers, pa^ boys to deliver them, pay performers in the entertainment, if they are professional?, or pay some manager tc get up the affair and give him a large per centege of the receipts, pay al] the bills?in fact, pay for everything except that which is most valuable tc them, to wit, newspaper advertising And if the newspaper is unwilling tc devote more notice to such entertainment tVicm 'ihprfll ripws notices it LUVUV iUMU *4 W* ? - .. - comes in for much abuse. And yel why should not the newspapers charges for its advertising space just ! as the owner cf the ball charges for | its rent, the billboard man charges i for the use of his billboards, the lithographers charge for furnishing posters, the job printing office charges ' for the dodgers, ana trie outsiae parties charge for their service? The newspaper has only two sources > of revenue. One is subscription, the . other advertising. The subscriptions j > to newspapers are so cheap that they j - little more than pay the cost of the j white paper. j ^ i A Valuable Medicine For Coughs and Colds in Children.

A friend of Mr. Lever, who was in Washington the other daj, was speu at the National Hotel and said that Mr. Lever would doubtless be given i reuomination by the people of his Congressional district.
