Whether tho disease appears in tito lungs, in th<- baud, in the hips, or in tlie eye, it is the same Kernt thal al way., onuses ii. Looking at it from another way, however, the germ of tuberculosis eon never cause the disease unless the soil has bren prepared for itt. ll is as il lite germ were the seed ?inti the body were the tad I, Von cannot raise wheal on a bard, cobblestone pavement, not- can you grow corn on a boardwalk. Neither can you grow tuberculosis from the tiny plant-like germ which cansos the disease, on a soil which is hard and resistant. The tissues of the hotly in which the dis ease is lo devoiop must first be weakened and made dabby and pre pared for the growth of tho disease somewhat as tho larmer prepares his soil before sowing his seed. What nii? the causes that prepare dbe soil i'?i' the growth of tubercu losis genii- in the body'.' There ate Hist ol all. a v.roup ol' causes which lie within the Individual himself, which wo may call personal causes. Some of I hom may he controlled by the individual and some of them are beyond his control. Take such causes, tor example, as intemper ance, lack of proper food, a weak ened physical condition caused by grippe, colds, pneumonia, measles, typhoid lever, etc. these are Bottle of the personal causes which pre pare the soil for the tuberculosis seetl. Then lhere is also another group of causes which are entirely outside of lix; individual and which we may designate as environmental or social causes. Some of these are, for example, bad living and working conditions, lack of play and recrea tion facilities, unclean streets, etc. These two groups Of causes may either separately or altogether, act upon one so that his normal strength and vitality, which we call resist ance, is lowered and ho readily be comes a prey to the disease germs which are constantly lurking about and which he nitty he harboring lu his body without knowing lt. Lei us consider some of these causes ? little more in detail. I Of the personal causes that leat to tuberculosis, probably iittcmpcr ance may IM' reckoned as one of tin most Important. Hy intemperance t: i meant everything in the way of self ! indulgence thal injures the body 1 One may bo intemperate in eatiti) j and by partaking of too much foot ; may produce permanent digestiv? disturbance which weakens the hod Hy resistance. One may he intern petate in the use of drugs or it other ways, thereby weakening tin bodily resistance. The most ire quent form of Intemperance, how ever, is the use of intoxicating li quors. Any man who drinks beer wine or whiskey to excess is prepar lug the soil tor Iiis lungs for th seed of tuberculosis. This is the ron son why the mortality from tuben o olsis among men and women wh aro accustomed lo drink is so high much higher, according to rollah! statistics, than among people wh do not use intoxicating liquors. Many children from the time the nie born into the world aro doonie lo slars at ion.

The after-effec ol' many diseases can he avoided the patient will continue to pei's! in taking care of himself just ll same as he did when he was in tl bed and under the doctor's care.

Engineer I fur lin Killed Instan Hy Two Slightly Injured. (Greenville Piedmont, I Oth.) Kn g I neer .lohn T. Harris, of Gainesville, Ga., ls (load and several arc injured, hui aol seriously, as tho result of a head-on collision of a north-hound double-header freight train with Southern railway passen ger train No, ll, which occurred Wednesday afternoon at 4.41 at ('roswell, a small station eight miles west of Greenville, between here and tinsley. The injured aro: Warren Haw kins, of Toccoa, (Ja., fireman of freight traill, ankle sprained. .1. M. McUrayer, negro, passenger on No. ll, linger cut oh* by slam ming door. Wreckage Cleared. The local passenger train, bound from Charlotte to Atlanta, in charge of Engineer Harris and Capt. Rose borough, was running an hour lalo and had orders to wait at Creswell until north-hound freight train No. 7T. arrived. Instead of taking thc siding as expected, the double header freight train, hauling 13!) cars of foal, dashed down th? main line. Realizing the Impending dan ger ICngineer J. L. Silks and crew of the freight engines jumped, and all. with the exception of Fireman Hawkins, escaped injury. The brakes on the head freight engine refused to work, it seems, and the reverse brakes of the second engipe proved of no avail against the momentum of the train pushing down grade, although the train was slacked to a speed of about 1 ?"> miles an hour. Heroic Death. In his last stand to pilot his train tr> safety Engineer Harris made a noble effort to back his train, and while in the act. of pulling the re verse lever the wild freight mowed its way down the main line. Engi neer Harris, after sticking to his post until all that was possible could be done, started to jump, but the crash came, and he was pinned by parts of his engine and crushed to death. His body remained in an up right position, his spectacles and cap still in their places when he was re moved from the wreckage. The engines were jammed to gethor, one of them being almost ! lifted from the tracks. Seven freight j cars were overturned and some, badly damaged. The tracks were torn up for a hundred yards and j twisted rails and spilled coal were scattered down the track. Western Union telegraph wires were torn dowii in the immediate vicinity. A derrick engine from Greenville' was roon on the scene and the wreckage was cleared at fi o'clock Thursday morning and all trains are j being operated on the main line to day without hindrance. ;iO and :IH Dctourcd. Southern railway trains Nos. 30 and ?IS were (loton red by way ol'| Seneca and Anderson, over the lillie) Ridge, to Helton and thence to j Greenville. Singularly enough An- j der son has tried vainly for all these years to get the north-hound vesti bules to pass thiough thal place, and the hope was realized just for a night. Hundreds Visit. Wreck. Several hundred persons from Kasloy, Greenville and surrounding sections visited the wreck. Physi cians I rom Easley were soon on the scene and cared lor the injured who were not hurt badly enough to be carried lo a hospital. Mr. Harris's body was carried to his home at Gainesville. Of genial disposition, Mr. Harris was very popular with his crew and the officials, who re garded him a very efficient engineer. The wrod "khaki" was not used in the way it is to-day until the Hoer war. tho landlord's fault that the hous ing conditions are not bettor. Low wages, long hours of work, dark, unventilated factory rooms, ex cessive heat, ami dusty occupations aro only a few of the conditions which make it easy for tho seeu of tuberculosis to attack tho working man. The lack of proper places for play and recreation, which makes a man go to the saloon at night in stead of into tho park or playground, is a social cause leading to tubercu losis. These social causes can be fought only by tho united effort of tho men and women of the commu nity. Individuals can help, but it takes all shoulders at the wheel to produce effective results. in conclusion, remember that the soil must bo right before tho seed ot tuberculosis can grow, and that you can contribute much towards keep ing tho soil of your body In such condition that no germs will find a root thoro.

(.'rank SIHIIIIOIKIH Figuring on Even? tunlitics lit F,u rope. For two yours tho South kept tlie initiative!. Slie struck at Antietam, at Gettysburg, at Shiloh. Three Mines, twice in the East and once In the West, she sought decision. She failed, and with Gettysburg, and the concomitant fall of Vicksburg s'?e lost tho initiative forever, says Frank ll. Simmonds, In American Reviews of Reviews. Henceforth lt boca mo a question not of conquer ing the North, bul of holding it off until the people of the North wea ried ol' the sterile sacrifices and the terrible cost. lt took nearly two years after Gettysburg to bring Appomattox, Grant's great offensive, of which the North expected so much, led only to the drawn battles of The Wilderness and Spottsylvania and the shambles Of Cold Harbor in 1864. Yet In this terrible campaign, counted as a fail ure at the moment, Grant won the .var. The South had neither the men nor the resources to replace the losses. While the lines before Richmond still held the Confederacy crumbled to dust. Now this is In sum what the allies expect to happen In the case of Ger many. They expect that the Ger mans and the Austrians will no lon ger be able to replace casualties as the British, the Russians, and the Italians patently can. Russia's man supply is Inexhaustible; she has al ready proved this. Britain is only beginning to draw heavily on hers. Italy lias made no draft to speak of. Hut france, like Germany and Aus tria, is approaching. If she has not reached, that point whore she can no longer send fresh men to the front to replace losses, and each casualty, therefore, diminishes thc total ol' the men in the line. The allies believo that the Ger mans and Austrians are holding lines far too extended for t heir numbers. Lee did this at Richmond and lost his army. Napoleon did this in Bastera Germany in his last German campaign and Buffered defeat, which turned out to be fatal. The allies believe that by steady and concerted attacks upon all fronts they will presently wear the (lennans and \ustrians down to the point where they must shorten their lines or court disaster. But to shorten tho lines is to confess defeat. To evac uate France or Poland is to lose the war absolutely, because these are thc prizes Germany holds against her lost colonies and ocean commerce.

A Talk With the Boys. (Progressive Farmer.) ( Probably no American writer bas done so much to inspire young men with ambition as Dr. Orison Swett Marden. For many years he was ed itor of a magazine called "Success." He is also tho author ot' several in spiring hooks, "Pushing lo the Front." "Hising In the World," "He Can Who Thinks He Can," "Every Man a King," "Be Hood to Your self," etc. Our boys will do well to take to heart his message herewith ) "The World Makes Way for the De term hied Man." To the Boys on Southern Farms: Your effort to succeed depends en tirely on the amount of energy and will power hack of it. If there is not enough vigor, enough enthusi asm, enough sheer grit and d iter mination to carry you past all obsta cles to your mark, you have no one but yourself to blaine. Xo one but yourself can generate the power that will carry you to your goal. Ill health or personal deformity may sometimes hold one back though there aro numerous Instances of success in spite of them-bu' in the vast majority of cases the reason young people fail in getting a good start in life or in ultimately reach ing their goal is because there ls NO ENERGY IN THEIR RESOLUTION. NO GRIT IN THEIR DETERMINA TION. They peter out after a few rebuffs. Two or three setbacks take the edge off their determination. There ls no projectile force hack of their feeble efforts. They do no: re alize that success In anything wt rill while is the result of tremendous resolution, vigorous self-faith, and work, work, work-steady, conscien tious, whole-hearted, unremitting work. Light resolve, half-hearted efforts, indifferent. Intermittent work has never yet accomplished any thing and never will. Get busy, then, and work with all your might. There is no such thing as failure for the willing, ambitious worker. The world makes way for the determined man. Orison Swett Marden.
