Asheville.?One of the most mysterious cases that has been reportd to the sheriff's office in many years is engaging the attention of Sheriff Mithchell and his deputies at Asheville, N. C. Mrs. O. D. Smith and her daughter, Miss Annie Smith, having renortpfl o fiprioo nf off onlro 11>1 f H vvxva v? Hvvn^nt) tJ J Mil" known parties on their home in West Asheville The first attack occurred about a week ago when a thump against the front door caused the women to investigate, the investigation revealing a stick of dynamite with percussion cap properly placed which had been hurled against the door. Only the fact that the stick of dynamite had not happened to strike on the cap is believed to have saved the house from destruction. Following the attack with the dynamite which failed an unknown party appeared before the Smith home a night or two ago and opened fire with a pistol or pistols, five bullets passing through the door and into the walls beyond, and two lodging in the door casing. The women, thoroughly alarmed by the second attack, request; ed the sheriff to investigate the mat ter, and the members of the sheriff's departnr ent hav cbcen busy on the case every since. No clue to the attackers can be . located, and officials are at a loss to account for the actions of the mys, terious unknowns, as Mrs. Smith and , her daughter have no enemies in this rart of the country so far as can be . learned.

O. |iiiiiiiiiiiiiii!i!i(mnuiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiui>.i ..liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiu S What Causes Tuberculosis? | ftimiiiimiiiiiiiiiiitiimiimiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimim THERE can be no tuberculosis without the germ, the tubercle bacillus. Whether the disease appears in the lungs, in the hand, in the hips, or in the eye, it is the same germ that always causes it. Looking at it from another way, however, the germ of tuberculosis can never cause the disease unless the soil has been prepared for it. It is as if the germ were the seed and the body were the soil. You cannot raise wheat on a hard, cobblestone pavement nor can you grow corn on a boardwalk. Neither can you grow tuberculosis from the tiny plant-like germ which causes the disease, on a soil which is hard and resistant. The tissues of the body in which the disease is to develop must first be weakened and made flabby and prepared for the growth of the disease somewhat as the farmer prepares his soil before sowing his seed. What are the causes that prepare the soil for the growth of tuberculosis germs in the body? There are first of all, a group of causes which lie within the individual himself, which we may call personal causes. Some of them may be controlled by the individual and some of them are beyond his control. Take such causes, for example, as intemperance, lack of proper food, a weakened physical condition caused by grippe, colds, pneumonia, measles, typhoid fever, etc.,?these are some of the personal causes which prepare the soil A' *i.? 4...1 1 _ l rjiv. 11.?? ?i.. 1-1- ? -fr lur uii3 luucryuiuus seen, xneii uncio 10 iviou cinuuiier gruup ui causes which are entirely outside of tlie 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 recreation 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 resistance, is lowered and he readily becomes a prey to the disease germs which are constantly lurking about and which he may be harboring in his body without knowing it. Let us consider some of these causes a little more in detail. Of the personal causes that lead to tuberculosis, probably intemperance may be reckoned as one of the mo3t important. By intemperance is meant everything in the way of self indulgence that injures the body. One may be intemperate in eating and by partaking of too much food may produce permanent digestive disturbance which weakens the bodily resistance. One may be intemperate in the use of drugs or in other ways, thereby weakening the bodily resistance. The most frequent form of intemperance, however, is the use of intoxicating liquors. Any man who drinks beer, wine or whiskey to excess is preparing the soil of bis lungs for the seed of tuberculosis. This is the reason why the mortality from tuberculosis among men and women who are accustomed to drink is so high, much higher according to reliable statistics than among people who do not use intOxic? + inlirmors 1 o 1 Many children from the tim'e they are born into the world are doomed to starvation. Other people because they liko candy, pie, and cake better than meat, bread, and vegetables, are starving .themselves willfully. This underfeeding or lack of proper food will as surely prepare the soil for tuberculosis as if one deliberately set out to do so. Many people have a notion that if they have apparently recovered from a bad cold or an attack of grippe or pneumonia, there is no further danger and they are perfectly safe. Oftentimes the most dangerous period in an acute disease is during the few week3 immediately after the patient is able to be up and about. It is during this time of convalescence that the seeds of disease will find a sure root if special care is not taken. Fresh air, good food, rest, and right living are the best safeguards against tuberculosis during a time such as this. T after-effects of many diseases can be avoided if the patient will continue to persist in taking care of himself just the same as he did when he was in the bed and under the doctor's orders. Then there are those causes of tuberculosis which are entirely outside of the individual such as bad housing conditions. Dark rooms where the sun never sVii npa nro omnn rr tVio . UI1U utuwilg ViiV L/?i3V MA V/V/Ullig ^/laV/ta J\J\JO' sible for the germs of tuberculosis. Here they thrive in great quantities and it is almost impossible to dislodge them. Dark, filthy hallways, unclean sinks, and dirty backyards and toilets are also menaces to the health of those who live near them. Many a man can improve these conditions with a little effort if he will take the time to do so More often, however, it is the landlord's fault that the housing conditions are not better. Low wages, long hours of work, dark unventilated factory rooms, excessive heat, and dusty occupations are only a few of the conditions which make it easy for the seed of tuberculosis to attack the working man. The lack of proper places for play and recreation which makes a man go to the saloon at night instead of into the park or playground, is a social cause leading to tuberculosis. These social causes can be fought only by the united effort of the men and women of the community. Individuals can help but it takes all shoulders at the wheel to produce effective results. In conclusion, remember that the soil must be right before th? seed of tuberculosis can grow, and that you can contribute much towards kp^-nincr +Vt r? oa?1 " ovrii i?i ^uur uuay in sucn condition mat nc germs will find a root there.

Richmond, Va.?George B. Perkins, the Boston, Mass., architect, who shot and killed F. W. R. Hinman, business manager of the Florida Times-Union Jacksonville, on board the Clyde liner Mohawk, off Charleston, November 11, 1914, has been granted a new trial by the United States circuit court of appeals. Perkins was sentenced to three years' imprisonment by the United States district court at Columbia. In granting the writ of error, the circuit court held that the lower! court's instructions to the jury that Perkins was suffering with delirium tremens, , when the crime was committed, was erroneous and prejudicial. It was pointed out that the evidence had not proved he was so afflicted, and that he might have been insane from the long use of alcohol or drugs. The plea of the defense at the trial was that. Perkins had been drinking heavily and had taken an overdose of drug which had caused insanity. The case is remanded back to the district court at Columbia for retrial. i Mr. Hinman was shot while stand| ing on the deck of the Mohawk talk I ing with Mrs. Hinman and Capt. Ingram, master of the steamer. Perkins, apparently under the influence of a narcotic, appeared in a night robe and opened fire upon the party with a revolver without warning. The first bullet struck Capt. Ingram in the ab* domcn and seriously wounded him. Mr. Hinman fell before the second bullet, while a third slightly wounded j C. L. Wright, of Utica, N. Y., another i passenger. Perkins then tried to shoot himself, but was restrained and taken to his cabin under guard. When the Mohawk reached Charleston some hours* later the police were called and they found Perkins asleep. He professed ignorance of the shooting and was sent to a hospital. Later he was taken to Columbia for trial in the Federal court there, I the shooting having taken place on the high seas outside the jurisdiction of the State courts. o Warning lo Women Do not neglect Nature's Warning Signals.

A great many of these pests would weigh a pound, and they will get on the logs and bark as the white men are passing." .
