Tuberculoau;. What Should 'We do About it and With it Few diseases there are which to tt average person cause greater fear c despair than tuberculosis, and to t told that one is a victim of tuberc\ losis usually means that this indivh unl at. once becomes extremely sens tive of his condition and considei himself doomed to a shortened, uncei tain and torturing existence, ostrj cized by society, a burden to his fan I!y and a.menace to his friends, wit but one and inevitable outcome, deatl to look forward to. Such thoughts however should nei er exist for tuberculosis encountere in its earlier stages can in a large mt jority of cases be arrested and eve many of the far advanced cases, pai ticularly if one lung only be involve< . can be sufficiently arrested as to alio1 the individual to live a useful an happy life, limited only to commo sense, healthful routine and restricte from doing heavy labor. There has been no new discovery t prompt these statements, nor are w offering anything original, great c startling. It is simply the sanatoriui treatment, fresh air, good food, sur light, graduated exercise when ind cated, and artificial pneumothorax Ir telligcntly applied by a physicia trained in tuberculosis work, supporl cd alwnys by the heartiest cooperatio of the patient himself. The importance of diagnosing ti borculosis very early in its course car not be overestimated, for an earl knowledge of the condition not onl materially increases the patient' chances for a permanent arrest of th disease but if he be properly instrucl cd he will live without spreading th ' disease to those with whom he ma come in contact and need not be at horred by society. It is now generally believed by th tuberculosis specialists that approx: mately 95 per cent of all persons ar at some age in life infected with tr bercle bacillus, and by far the mos < of these infactions take place befor adult life is reached. Not i^l of thi lnrcre nprcentnce dovelon active tubei culosis, it being necessary for sotu additional weakening influence t bring the activity. Howevei should this added influence brin1 about activity during childhood, th tuberculosis would run n more rapi and more fatal course. There are many diseases and cor ditions which may be cleansed as as sistants to the germ of tuberculosi in its deadly work, but the more im portant of these are colds, influenzr measles, scarlet fever and whoopin cough, and such conditions that favo 'the development and spread of thes diseases as insufficient and imprope clothing and food, poor hygienic sui roundings, poor ventilation and lac of proper quaraptine. ?? When one notices a lack of th usual 'pep' and vigor, feels more o less tired rather often, develops slight cough or regular clearing c the throat in the mornings, colds tha persist, appetite below par, and pei haps a sleeplessness, with or withoii I m* IEujjWK' v |1 JCffy i i ** mS H ? 1 J loss of weight, it is sufficient cause to 1 be alarmed and a visit to the doctor for a thorough examination is in order. Children who fail to romp and ^-play as they normally do should or ^ who are in any way below par had l best be given special chest examination on a clinic day set apart as a ^ part of the work connected with the rs medical inspection of school children t. as now required by state law. It would bo well if each county could provide a sanatorium for tuberculosis ^ cases, a visiting nurse 'for those curing at home, and an open-air school for pre-tuberculosis children, but until such is established certainly a num^ ber of counties could form a league, be given state and county appropriations n and thus provide for the operation of an institution for such individuals who j could not afford the higher rate of a ^ private sanatorium, located perhaps in ^ some distant state. What would your county do if asked to take part in such ^ n league? * Summary. ? If you feel that you hnve a fair 'e 'number of the early symptoms of tu>T berculosis lose no time but consult a m physician at once. If told you have the disease by any of its pet names, "Spot on your lungs," "The Old Dog", "Consump-. n tion" or any other, buck up, smile and put up a game fight. You can win n if you try and try hard enough. If you hnve no county health department, no visiting nurse and no tuberculosis organizations, urge your ^ legislators to make efforts to get , them. s If you have these organizations or . any others that strive to improve your county, lend them your support.

NO-141 i mmmammmammamamm \ I n m * mum?mmmmmam ': ' Tell* of Prehistoric Past of Animals Los Angeles, Feb. 1.??The prehistoric past-of the fox, deer and antelope offer a field for fertile resea&h as u result of finds in the famous (a Brca pits, a tomb of h&lf a mi Hip n years, Dr. E. E. Hadley, local paleontologist told members of the South* ern California Academy of Sciences. He reviewed the past of a million or more years in which the movements of the elephant or mastodon, the three toed horse or Miohippus, the camel or camelops, the sabre-tothed tiger or smilodon, and the sloth family were traced beyond the pleistocene age into the pliocene,, miocenc, oligocc-ne and eocene periods of the tertiary era. While the horSe, camel and elephant of today remain they are very small compared to their ancestors who were apparently wiped out by the last glacial period when the great ice fields of the north swept down over a California that was not so sunny, and these prehistoric gian mammals with the giant ground sloth became extince in this freezing spell of 250,000 years ago, said Dr. Hadley. But, back in the eocene period a million or more years before, just after the conclusion of the mcsozoic age, there were no giant animals, and the gr^at ground sloth of the pleistocene hge was just a little, armadillo such as now exists in South America, he said. The Imperial elephant more than twice the size of any existing today, also came from a little animal that probably was no larrger than our horse or pony of today. The sabre-toothed tiger, several specimens of which were found in L?a Brea, was the most ferocious anim$l in the world about a half a million years ago, Dr. Hadley said. While these facts have been ascertained by paleontologists there is yet much to be discovered about the prehistoric life and peregrinations of the American fox, antelope, deer and i TI. : ?

There has been much discussion of the human skull found in the La Brea pits, Dr. Hadley said, but noted authorities have contended that it is only ten thousand years of age, and does not date back with the sloth and saber-toothed tiger, but a tx-ee has been found in the pits, a cypress, which is believed to have grown more than a quarter of a million years ago. ? Dr. Hpdley said that none of these animals had been traced beyond the eocene age of the tertiary era, but geologists have gone back through the mesozoic, carbonic, devonian, si* lurian eras to the ancient cambrian era which some say is a billion and --I-S-T PpnAYAr ...i. :?i ascgsqa?gag=. gsggg a half years ago, -and have provided a geological fund f?r-paleontogolical research that does not promise to be* come enhausted. Lea* Than Half .of Swedish Women Vote Stockholm, Jan. . 31 I* a a than half of the women #f' Sweden entitled to vote exercised their neKvly-won franchise rights at the" polls in the elections of 1921, the first year of full suffrage for women, according to a report of the Swedish Central Bureau of Statistics jusit made public. However, the official report of the 1921 elections give the suffragist leaders at least two causes for rejoicing. The men did not show a much better record than the women, and the number of women voters exceeded the male voters in the capital of Stockholm by more than 5,000 voters. The official report shows that 47.1 percent of the Swedish women voters cast their ballot 'while 61.9 percent of the men voted. The total women's vote in the city of Stockholm was 76,566, while the votg east by men was 7^198. "The general impression throughout the country seems to be that the Swedish women have not fully realized the importance and significance of their new privilege. It is believed that in the future they will make ? better showing^ at the polls. The heavy women's vote in Stockholm, which is to a large extent an industrial city, may indicate that the working women, especially women trade union members, grasped the opportunity to register their votes. However, other women cannot be said to have neglected the ballot as a whole. Bulgaria Needs Railroad Shops Sofia, Jan. 31.?Christo Manoloff, Bulgarian Minister of Railways, is anxious to have American locomotive manufacturers and railroad supply houses look into the possibilities of business in Bulgaria. He says that one of the greatest present needs in Bulgaria is a plant for the construction and repair of locomotives and freight cars. He has on hand nearly 100 locomotives and several thousand freight cars awaiting repairs and the country has no facilities for this purpose. "Although our country is going through a period of great financial and economic stress," said M. Manoloff, "we are preparing actively for the extension and reconstruction of our railways. We would like to have the help of your resourceful and experienced American railway men and contractors in this direction. "We are. planning the^copstruction of more than 500 miles of new railroads in which we will need foreign technical skill and capital. Americans will have the preference because I think they lead the world in these two requirements." -E-N four I >tion I \ a Year * elay V pay ter Inion rimes M Many Mile-, of , Highway Built . A total of 782 miles of the state highway system was constructed during 1921, at a total cost of $4,976,883, according to the annual report of the State Highway Commission and its chief engineer, Chas. II. Mooreliold, which Is to be made to the legislature this week. These totals include 290 miles of road constructed by the counties, independent of the state highway department, at a cost of $1,510,000. A total of 508 ; miles was graded by the state highway department, at a cost of $3,466,833, 492 miles being completed. Sixty-live bridges of more than 20 feet in span each were completed during the year. The report shows that the program already in sight for 1922 totals $5,429,906, under the state department, | and $2,250,000 by the counties. On the last day of the year the de- , partment had approximately five billion dollars worth of road work under j way, providing for the construction J of approximately ,450 miles of road, and eight bridges. The report shows also that 411 miles of road were maintained by the department throughout the state, at an average cost of $251 a mile. The cost of operating the state , highway department was only $213.712. It spent for road work in the slate $3,738,797. Of the funds used $1,359,453 was federal aid; $698,132: was motor vehicle license receipts; $1,681,212 was furnished by the counties. Included in the cost of operation was the cost of handling $56,830 j worth of war material, furnished gratis by the federal government, ? and also the cost of issuing automo- 1 bile licenses. During 1921 the state highway de-1 partment licensed 91,361 motor ve-1 hicles, as compared with 94,751 in 1920. The receipts were $733,820, as ' compared with $527,868 the year i>c-1 fore. Counter Charges Against Stevens and Col. Springs Lancaster, Jan. 30.?That Leroy Springs and John . Stephens wilfully sold goods below their market value' and in other ways destroyed assets in order to injure the Lancaster Mcr- ; cantile company, and other serious charges are made by Chas. D. Jones, of Lancaster, in his answer to the suit of the Catawba Fertilizer Co., against the mercantile company, in which Mt\ Jones is a party defendant. Mr. Jones was arrested some weeks ago and charges made against him, alleging shortages in the affairs of the mercantile company, of which he was manager. In his reply Mr. Jones charges the failure of Messrs. Springs and Stevens to account for various-moneys of the . mercantile company. The fuss between Mr. Jones and Messrs. Springs and Stevens has the town of Lancaster split into two fac-; tions. Mr. Jones was manager of the : big store from 1917 to last July, at j which time, Mr. Jones alleges in his reply, he was deposed. Among the charges made by Mr. Jones in retaliation of the charges made against him are the following: That the suit against the mercantile company was instituted through "spite" and "fraud" to wreck the Lancaster Mercantile Co. ' t That the bocks of the company j ^ were fraudulently audited, its solvency being concealed. That the suit is a "willful and do-* liberate proceeding under the guis?; and protection of this court, to obtain the valuable assets of defendant Lf.n Caster Mercantile Co., for less than, they are really worth" and to eliinin-; ate Mr. Jones "as a business coin-, petitor." That the two defendants, Messrs. Springs and Stevens, sold goods below market values, honored illegal claims, refused to pay just obliga-1 tions against the company, and in ' /v4 Un%* tt'ntfci ?t* n Af) t li.i luwote ,, * ftltn uiiivi v in (jii.m io **i i:r company. j Failure to pay for cotton sold to a Chester mill largely controlled by Mr Springs.

That Mr. Springs "did illegally and I wrongfully keep and convert to his | own personal use," the sum of $50,000 profits on the sale of 2,000 bales of cotton bought for the Mercantile Company in New York and sold at a profit. That: certain other property of the mercantile company has been converted to Mr. Springs' personal use. Death Rate of Babies Throughout the World London, Jan. 31.-?A surprising disparity in the death rate of babies throughout the world is shown in the latest figures issued by the registrargeneral. During the third quarter of the year iust ended. Christiana, the cad ital of Norway, was the healthiest .1 city, reported-the infantle death rate | per 1,000 bejng only 33, while Am- ns sterdani, Holland, had a rate of 42; p( Stoekholm, Sweden, 47; and, Copenhagen, Denmark, 48. Compared with these, London's rate of 03 appears high; but Wigan, an important industrial town in Lan- bil cashire, has a rat*? of 125, and Berlin "g 146. I h? No town in Europe has aueh a rec- to ord as Bombay, India, where, accord- m< ing to official figures, 630 babies out ce of every 1,000 die before they reach go the age of 12 months. wl . mtflm- ^ fcTiMfc i'i 1 nifliiHUlMliifla ii"n i i ~ !IT.-.
