This discovery swept aside the theory that tuberculosis was of a herlditary nature, which had held sway since tuberculosis was first known, and substituted for it the fact that tuberculosis was an infectious disease This gave us hopo that tuberculosis could be prevented and cured. Of courso we now soe it clearly and are seeking to find the active case in a community so that we may prevent them from infecting others. I Today this is the key to our antituberculosis program?for we know that no home is safe until every homo is safe, from tuberculosis. i When Koch discovered tubercje bacillus there was scarcely an Indl| vidual in the civilized world who did not have a relative or cIobo friend suffering from tuberculosis. But in the brief span of sixty yoars the incidence has been reduced to less than one fifth of what it formerly was. As a result there will be about 300,000 less deaths from tuberculosis in the United States this year than there would have been had the death rate continued as it was in 1882 when the bacillus was discovered. It will be necessary for us all to concentrate our efforts more upon our health for war puts an added responsibility on us for the work we can do. It is patriotic to be healthy.

Camden Many Times Victim Of Flames (Continued from first page) southwest cornor of York and Broad streets, and fanned by a strong northwest breeze swept down upon the court house and market. Almost one hundred buildings including two hotels were destroyed. In February 1866, came tho burning of the town by federal troops under Sherman. In 1874, another disastrous fire occurred erasing the northern half of the west side of Broad street between DeKalb and Kutledge. In this area was the hotel known as*ttie Mansion, or Kershaw House. This particular square was destroyed again in 1892 and again in 1902. In 1876 the block known as the Meroney at Rutledge and Broad streets, with many other buildings and offices was wiped out and in 1877 a fire which was known as the. Great Ark Fire took place. The "Ark" was a large wooden building on the site of the present city hall and was known as the Old Ark. It was a fire of great proportions and half of the square on that side went with it. History recites that these many fire disasters were not due to any fault of the Camden fire department, which from an early day has had the reputation of being active, effi-1 cient, and gallant. Early regulations regarding fire protection are found in an old ordinance of 1798, which required that each lot owner have a well, a bucket, and a ladder. Four fire masters were designated to take charge at the conflagrations and the insignia that they carried was a black staff with a white tip. Prior to 1829 a fire engine company ( known as The Independent was char-j tered by the legislature and perform- j ed heroicly and effectively in saving i the Town Hall and court house in, the great fire of 1829. In 1830, the; Hook aiyl Ladder company was es- , tablished, and in 1833 thero was still | another fire company known as (he I Hydraulion. History records that in! 1833 Aaron Burr was Captain of tho. Independent company. This Independent company operated a fire engine, at considerable expense, equipped with twenty-four feet of suction and one hundred and fifty feet of delivery hose. This machine was regarded as being one of the finest in the line of fire fighting equipment in that period, ' and was described by one of the town' Jokesters as "a beast with a short tail i behind and a long one in front". Dur-j ing the forties and fifties Camden had ' three fire engines. The Market engine for down town fires, the Hydraulion for the middle section of the city, and the Log Town engine for the up town. In the seventies they then boasted one white company and two, colored companies of firemen. It was in 1884 that the first fire steamer made Its appearance, steamer which replaced the hand W* gine?an interesting piece of eqafcM merit to ]ook at but bad a great htMfl of being very Into in arriving at tbt^H scene of action.
