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

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.

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

Brea pits will contribute any more,
'or reveal anything beyond the pleistocene
age, Dr. Hgdley said, although
thev have revealed more and Dreserv-I
ed for the world a larger variety of
pre-glacial period re'lics of mammalia
than any other spot in the world yet
uncovered.
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

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."

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

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 '

Failure to pay for cotton sold to

Mr Springs.
That Mr. Springs sold to the mill
in I*ancastcr in which he has an interest
cotton belonging to the Mercantile
compnny at 12 1-2 cents a
pound, causing the company to sustain
a heavy loss.
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
