sast AMERICANS IN BERLIN ARE NOT MOLESTED Copenhagen ?via London ?Charles Worlein of Chicago, who has arrived here from Berlin, says thai there has been no molestation of Americans in the German capital, and that they are not even subjected to the usual rule requiring enemy nationals to report daily to the police. Mr. Worlein is the second American to leave Germany since the declaration of war. He applied for permission to leave a fortnight ago and his request wus granted after the normal lapse of time. ? DISEASE OF LEPROSY. At Tremeloo, Belgium, 75 years ago, Joseph DeVeuster, better known as Father Damien, was born. Ho was educated for a business career, but when he was eighteen years old he entered holy orders, and fifteen years later, in October ISG3, went to Honolulu us a missionary in th< stead of liis brother. In If Ct 'h- w;i rriaincd a priest, and during th? nine years that fo'.h wed he was ire quently Stiuck io his parochial wor' with the pitiful condition of the Ha Avaiian lepers. In 1873? he volunteered to take up his residence on the Island of Molokai, to which at that time all lepers were deported, and there he remained until his death on ? i . - toon TT_ april l >, ioo3. nt.- ^ayc byiuuiivc **? 3885 of having contracted leprosy from the unfortunates committed to his care, but he continued his labors". Leprosy is a contagious, infectious disease, which is believed to oe directly communicable from one person to another person. It is believed to be caused by a microscopic vegetable parasite shaped somewhat like a small curved stick. This bacillus was discovered by Hansen in 1874. In man the disease appears in several different forms, attacking almost any organ in the body, destroying any or all of the senses, and finally producing death. There is a disease among rats which closely simulates human leprosy, and the bacillus which causes it resembles that found la human leprosy. It is not definitely known just now the leprosy bacillus onters the body. It may be through wounds of the akin or the lining membrane of the aioss and throat, and possibly it may too taken into the body with food. II is pretty definitely proven that no particular article of diet, such as fish, causes the disease. It has been thought that some insect may act as the agent which transfer the germs from sick people to well people. This is not proven. Whatever the exact mechanism i "the transference of the leprosy bac" lus, practical evidence shows <hat th disease is spread mainly by direr contact, and is most prevalent when people are dirty and overcrowed There is no evidence that leprosy hereditary. Practical cxperier.ce has show, that segregation is the only practicable means of controlling the disease. .A bill appropriating $259,000 for th?* purpose of establishing a nationa' home for lepers passed the House of Representatives on P<!ay 4, 1916, and -was passed by the Senate on January '2b, 1917. This provides a national institution for the care and treatment of the unfortunate afflicted *?rith this gruesome disease and solves the problem of preventing it? rpread in the United States. a i SUBSGRiBENOW To South Carolina's Greatest Newspaper THE COLUMBIA RECORD'S BARGAIN PERIOD RATES Now in Effect DAILY AND SUNDAY $4.00 12 Months DAILY ONLY ? $3.00 12 Months Save $2.00 by Sending in Your Subscription Now Tou should keep in constant touch wUfc all the important news events of the world.

The local boys crossed bats on las' Thursday afternoon with the nine from Mullins. The game was called promptly at three forty-five, the delay beine caused by the condition of the dia mond. The game promised in the begin ning to piove one of interest bu'. things began to lag for the visitor after the second innir.g. Doc. Nortor handled the part of delivering th pill for several innings to the entir. satisfaction of the many spectators and Bud Watson did some very grace ful receiving, and when it became necessary to pass to second, Watsoe i always caught his Than. The game lacking and wanting in terest spurned our young recruit Smiling Al. Lewis, on with a great desire to pass a few balls into Wat son's Tar Bucket. When he went int< the box the boys could only have idle day dreams about reachng first, foi young Al. just let >m hit at the bali three times, then Bud Watson would pass the Pill to young McCoy on first to close the deal. The only regret attached to the game for the local boys is the poo? fellows liked to have ran themselves to death, passing and tolling the home plate for twenty nine runs ; against fourteen. Young Dusenbury deserves credit for his work facing the young Elephant Halford, six times netting two uuggcr?, anu scoring live runs. Batteries? Conway: Norton, Lewis, an<l Watson.

Present recruiting ctvities indicate that the Marine !orps will reach its newly authorized trength in the early summer.
