THAT MYSTERIOUS SEA MONSTER APPEARS AGAIN i Mr. J. Fred Schumpert, who makes stated pilgrimages to Florida to visit his daughter and to fish and hunt and have a good time generally, has a clipping from the Miami, Fla., Herald of December 3, in which is an account of the reappearance on the coast of that mysterious sea monster about which he spoke after a recent visit to Florida, and which story he had some sort oi idea some people | thought he had made up as a real f\sh story. i He says this story of the reappearance of this sea monster in the ! Herald is genuine. The statejment is that the fish is 45 feet long and weighs 15 tons. It had swallow[ ed an octopus weighing 500 pounds J and its liver weighed 1700 pounds. A black ftsh weighing 1500 pounds and I 500 pounds coral were found in its stomach. It measured 23 feet around the body and the tail was 10 feet '1 "U>fl from tip to tip. It smashed a boat' infn thmisnnHs of nieces and crushed the rudder and propeller of a 31-ton yacht with a single swish of its tail." Five harpoon thrusts and 150 large ; cailbre rifle bullets only served to inS crease its fury and it took five days | , to kill it. The actual battle lasted 39 hours with the monster dragging j small boat3 at express train speed j for hundreds of . miles. .And there ; are lots more things remarkr";le | ' about this sea monster, but this is j sufficient advertising to convince the | people that MrV^Schumpert was not rj | relating simply a'iisih story, but facts i about this mystery of the sea. It has ' ! been mounted and it is said that it j took over nineteen barrels of formal| dehyde to preserve the monster. For further information aee Mr. J. Fred i i Schumpert. ! ? Stewart-Dennis !

Everyone has a normal wall of resistance against disease and especially against tuberculosis. The strength of the wall varies in different individuals. ij 2. The germs of tuberculosis cn- / ter the body in earl ychildhood. The tissues of the body build a wait around the invading germs. Si> Ions* as the wall holds the germs are comparatively harmless. . 3. When that peculiar individual thing called resistance is lowered, the wall surrounding the germs may ? r break, the imprisoned germs are re- * j leased, and usually set up tuberculo sis. So long as the germs are im-' ! prisoned tyehind.the wall, the process j is known as infection and is usually | harmless. As soon as the wall is | broksn, the process becomes tuberculosis, that is, disease. 4. The wall of resistance is broken by two sets of causes?environ j mental ai:u ptrrsuuai. o. Among the environmental causes,'over which the individual may not ot'ter have immediate control, are included: bad housing and living con- j | ditions; bad working conditions, inI eluding long hours and low wages; j unsanitary surroundings; lack of re: c-reational facilities in the community; lack of medical and hospital facilities. 6. Among ' the personal causes which ':reak down resistance may be mentioned: contributing diseases, such as influenza, measles, or scarletfevcr; self-indulgence of any kind; i lack of enougr or proper food; over work or the effort to burn the candle of life at both ends; faulty habits of cleanliness, diet, exercise; in general, stress and strain of any kind.
