Decline of Tuberculosis.
The National Tuberculosis conven
tion is to begin its sessions in Balti
more 0:1 January 25, eminent special
ists will take part, and the committee
in charge promises the most complete
collection of sanitary devices and the
most interesting pathological exhibit
yet presented. There seems to be a
general movement in the United
States, Germany aud Great Britain to
deal systematically with the dread
scourge and the New York Academy
of Medicine sustains the medical the
ory that consumption is on the de
crease. Within the last decade, in the
state of Massachusetts alone, it was
stated iu a recent address before the
above named society, that "mortality
from tuberculosis had been reduced
exactly one-half." Between 1885 and
1902, notwithstanding tho increase of
population, amounting to nearly one
half, the deaths from consumption in
Massachusetts declined from 5,955 to
4,685. In fifty years, since 1853, the
death rate per 10,000 inhabitants ot
that state has declined from 42.7 to
15.9. This is a strong argument as to
the decline of consumption, which in
terests almost every family connec
tion. An eminent Loudon physician,
Dr. Hiller, of the public health board
of London, maintains that the change
which has been constantly going "on
in the lessening death rate from con
sumption constitutes one of the mark
ed features of the vital statistics of
civilized countries. If the present rate
of decrease in the mortality from this
disease is contineud uniformly, con
sumption should wholly disappear
from England within the next half
century. The same rule applied to
Massachusetts would appear to show
that the disease will be extinguished
in that state within even a shorter
period. Since 1893 its (loath rate from
consumption declined from 2:5.1 per
10,000 deaths to 15.9. The "white
plague" is obviously controllable, and
the fact is a great achiev< nt for medi
cal science. The same is undoubtedly
true in the statement of the deaths
from yellow fever in th* .Southern
states and the West Indies. It lias
been exterminated in places when? it
has had its home for centuries Malaria
is no longer regarded as tho abiding
corse of certain localities. Sanitary
engineering and the advance in inedi -
cal science are doing a great work in
pulmonary and malarial disease.
To Measure Tracks.
The Pennsylvania Kailro.vl Co., it
is reported,has instructed its engineer
ing department to make new measure
ments of all its lines east of Pittsburg
for the'purpose of ascertaining just
what changes li ivo been made a~ the
result of many cut-otFs tliat have been
built and how much the distances on
the main line have been ,-liorteued If
tlie report of the engineers sh iw- tli tt
tlie mileage has beon reduced,the con
ductors of passenger trains will ii-> in
structed to make the oece-siry ch mges
in taking out transportation from
mileage books.
It is know that the distance between
Philadelphia and Pittsburg has been
shortened by several miles an I it is
expected that ofTin tl measurements
will also make a change in the mile
age on the New York Division be
tween New York aud Philadelphia.
Scarlet Fever Abating.
Tho epidemic of scarlet fever in
Roaring creek and Locust townships,
Columbia county, which was viewed
with so smuch alarm a week or ten
days ago, has abated considerably and
the scare has pretty well died out.
There are no new cases while many of
thoee ill are on the way to recovery.
The schools have not as yet reopened.
CENTRALIA FREE
FROM SMALLPOX
The smallpox epidemic at Oentralia
is believed to have been effectually
stamped out and it is expected to close
up the emergency hospital by the end
of the present week. Three patients
are iii the hospital, and all are con
valescent. These patients will he dis
charged by Fridav.
Dr. D. \V. Blake expects to leave for
his home at Gloucester, N. J., and
Miss Huplitz will probably leave for
her home HI Philadelphia, Saturday
morning.
The disease first broke out at Oen
tralia about the middle of September,
aud altogether thero were forty-two
cases, ten having been developed be
fore the hospital was opened. The
hospital was opened November I, and
all told there were thirty-one cases
treated there. There was one death
before the hospital opened and four at
the hospital, two of them adults aud
two of them children, a total of five
deaths in all. This is a remarkable
record. Tin cost to the borough of
Ceutralia and the township of Couyng
ham.the cases from both districts hav
ing btiou treated at the hospital, will
be a very he»vy one, aud cannot be
computed at this time.
Thirty-five of the were from
the borough of Centralis, and seven
from Oonyngham township, Columbia
county. Only six of the Couyngham
cases were treated at the hospital, the
other one not having been taken there.
The fact that the disease which has
brought so much trouble and distress
to the town has bean stamped out, is
a matter of congratulation to all con
cerned. The fight against the disoa-e
has been a hard and bitter one, and
the Ceutralia Board ot Health deserves
the thanks ot the community for their
persistent and unselfish labors to that
end.

SPECIALISTS FAILED;
CAL-CIIRA SUCCEEDED.
Cured By One Bottle of That Wonderful New
Medicine. Cal-cura Solvent. Your Money
Back if It Does Not Cure.
MATTEAWAN, N. Y., Sept. 1, 1902.
Gentlemen :
My cast- is so remarkable that I want, to
tf 11 you nil about it. I suffered from blad
der trouble for about 25 years, and had
tried all the doctors about here, and also
two specialists in New York, without getting
any help. Last August I bought, a bottle
of Caiman Solvent, I>r. Kennedy's new
niedi' iiie. I had not been able to work at
my trade (boiler making) for some time,
but after taking one bottle of Calcura Sol
vent, I began work and have been working
ever sinre.
Yours truly, MARTIN FULLER.
If your druggist does not have Cal-cura
Solvent, write to the Cal-cura Company,
Ifondout, N. Y.; but ask your druggist first.
SI.OO a bottle. Only one size.
Guarantee: Your druggist will return
your money if Cal-cura fails to cure, and
The Cal-cura Company will pay tho drug
gist. Remember, Cal-cura Solvent cures
of all cases of Kidney, Bladder and
Li ver disorders.

asked the judge.
"Notten. I wanted to g.i to de mill

"Shut up, niggab!" cried the attorney
for the accused. "Don' yo' know ilat

"Yo', l'hil Tomkins," said the judge,
"did Lem steal yo' mule?"
"Yes, sah."
"How d' yo' know,"put in the pris

It? How do yo' know dat he tuk <h

dat de mule belonged to yo"? How
does de eo't know dat yo" didn't steal

With this preliminary legal flourish
which was based on observations of
how white lawyers threw dust in tie
eyes of white juries, the attorney sat
down.
"What efiferdence is dere," asked tit.
judge, "dat Phil stole de mule?"
"Yo' honah," putin the prosecuting
attorney, "1 didn' know dat Phil Tom

"Yo" honah." cried the lawyer for the
defense, catching at the advantage giv
en him by the judge. "I air prepa'ed t
prove dat Phil Tomkins is de biggest
liar in de county. 1 got my wit 11• ■

Tom Blinker, a reverend looking old
darky, stepped out in front of the
judge.
"Wha' yo' know "boot PI I Ton;!;ins'.'

"Phil Tomkins don' got no mule."
"Wha'! Don't own no mule? How

"I hain't hyar. judge, fo' t Oisplair

Both the prosecutin-. and il- ! ntlin--

certain which took pr.eedt nee; but. be
lug a wise Judge, be found an expedl
cut to determine the inattt 1
"Yo' gemlemeu set down, and whet
I say 'Jumpr yo' git up's quick's yo

The nimbleness of the attorneys wa
tlius tested and r<-ulted in a viet..ry
for the prisoner's counsel, who was
younger and more act ive than bis < ppo

"Vo' honah." be said. "1 brought I

The judge scratched his head. Tin
question was, "What next?" The pros

Besides, he had once been janitor ol ;i

tricks of the trade.

The introduction m modern years ol

al l- generally regarded by clergy and
, laity alike to have an unwholesome
effect and the step win di would abol
ish women's voices would make to
ward a quick return to the Gregorian
music.
Tie bull is all -ged by flit; Philadel
phia "Press" to have just reached
America last week. Father Welsh ox
pre-se.- hi- belief in its issuance, say
ing that all information in regard to
the subject which has b. im received
bv the clergy in this country lias comu
through the newspapers. Had it been
issued, it, like all other Papal docu
ments, would have boon sent immedi
ately to Mgr. Falconio, at. Washing
tan, the I'apal deb-gate, who would
have in turn tr insuiitted to all Bishops
in America, Harrisburg receiving it as
soorj a- Philadelphia.
Th.- abolition of female voices, while
if would mean the Ins.- of much de
lightful music, would douhtles- be
product ivo of other m-loly jn-t at
tractive from tin- throats of hov so
prano-, altos or contraltos.
The boys in choirs would ] robably
be surplii .-d, too, and llii- would lend
greater dignity to the sob mil and im
pressive services of the church.
Father Welsh entertain- the same
view of much of the modern church
lnu-icas that expressed by many other
priests and laymt n. Ho thinks it at
tiin s really becomes nothing more
than a "refined opera. " The general
opinion -eeius to bo that it will not
be long before the choirs will be coin

There lay on the table in one of the

house dinner. A workman oil a ladder,
who w as patting Ihe finishing touches
to the decoration of the ceiling, let fall
a single tin., splash of red paint, which
dropped on the first name on the list
and obliterated it as if with the stroke
of a pen Some of tl. • members who
noticed thi< o T.rrt nee thought it n

A GOOD THING

Li VON A CAMP, PA. APRIL 21, 1002
MOVER BROS.
DKAR SIR:—
I think that every man that has a
team of horses or any stock, ought to
haveabottle of Mover 's White Liniment
in the stable or his house. I had a
horse that stepped in a hole with his
front foot, coming down the mountain
with a trail of props, and fell forward
and strained his shoulder blade. That
it swelled so fast that we could hardly
get the collar off. and in two hours his
neck wa> swollen to all the skin would
hold. We used your White Liniment
freely,and in a few days he was to work
again, and does not show any signs of
lameness. It worked like magic.
Respectfully Yours,
J. A. BARTHAST.
