THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1905. Cwrubro-Spinal Meningitis, leading Medical Men Say the Diteate it in Some Manner Communicable. The mysterious disease of menin gitis that has been puzzling the people, and some of the physicians, the past few months is now on the decline. The New York World in commenting upon the ravages of the disease says: "Cerebro spinal meningitis is an imperfectly understood inflamma tion of the membranes enveloping the brain and the spinal marrow. It is most to be feared in poor and closely crowded quarters of the great cities, yet in rural Silesia it has been 50 severe that the peasants have fled from its ravages, and in New York a railroad president has died of it in a fashionable bote1. It is veiy sudden in its attack and causes excessive suffering. New York will not soon forget the description of the agonies suffered by a poor girl who had contracted meningitis nnd was wrongfully put in a cell for alcoholism. The disease is doubt less in some manner communcable. "Half a century ago cerebro spinal meningitis was as little known by name as appendicitis, though as "spotted fever" it had done some execution. It appears to be at its worst at the end of a cold winter, when the general average of vitality is at low ebb. At present Boston and New York are trouoled by the disease, but our southern cities, with their milder climate bave little complaint to make of it. "The medical profession is thoroughly aroused to the danger of meningitis and diligently seeking remedies. A cure as successful as the fresh air treatment has proved in consumption or the antitoxin in diphtheria would be invaluable. Beards as Eeal Germ Nests. Allegheny Health Official Explain! That Iff No Joke. A Pittsburg dispatch says: When the order was issued several weeks ago to the effect that the iong beards worn by many Allegheny citizens would have to be cleansed, as they were excellent propagating grounds for scarlet fever germs, it was look ed upon in the nature of a joke by beardless men and as an insult by those who wear beards. In this connection, however Captain James McLaughlin, of the Allegheny Bureau of Health, says: "The matter was neither intend ed as an insult nor a joke. It is a fact that a great number of cases of scarlet fever last summer were found in families where oue or more of the members wore beards. It was therefor decided that this class of people must keeq their beards at well their places of abode clean." Divorce Not an Evil- Suian B. Anthony Sayt it it a Refuge For Women From Brutal Mastert. Over the bitter protest of Miss Susan B. Anthony, the National Council of Women on Friday adopt ed a resolution pledging the organ ization to co-operate with church and state to ascertain what are the chief causes which induce or lead up to divorce. Divorce, the resolu tion recites, is known to cause most disastrous results in the state and family. "I do not consider divorce an evil by any means," asserted Miss Anthony before the reading of the resolution had been completed. "It is just as much a refuge for women married to brutal men as Canada was once a refuge from brutal mas ters. I will never vote for a resolu tion that will cut off women from refuge from designing and brutal men." A MATTER OF HEALTH OU Absolutely Pure msmsuosmvjE 18 PSUBISR Peculiar To Itself In what it is and what it does con taining tho best blood-purifying, alterative .and tonic substances and effecting the most radical and per manent cures of all humors and all eruptions, relieying weak, tired, languid feelings, and building up the whole system is true only of Hood's Sarsaparltla No other medicine acts like it; no other medicine has done bo much real, substantial good, no other medicine has restored health and strength at so little cost.

No Trouble for Normal Normal had no trouble in get ting 8 way with Scrantou of the New York State League in the opening game of the season on Normal Field yesterday afternoon The playing of the Normal boys surprised the visitors and their base running was a revelation to everyone. But the one bright par ticular star was Lynch. His strong right arm was in evidence, and it was the one all important factor in landing the victory.

Hadley moving pic ture show Wednesday evening, and it is safe to say that the highest ex pectations concerning the entertain ment were justified. The program was entirely new and so varied that there was not the least trace of monotony. It would be difficult to say what pictures were the best, they were all good, and the whole entertainment was the most stu pendous exhibition of motion views and skilled presentation that has ever been witnessed in Bloomsburg. The descent of the curtain at the close of the show carried with it conviction that the Hadley show is a leader, and far ahead of its com petitors. Improvement at i'airchilds Park- O. E.
