Many states have recognized the danger of permitting consumption to menace the community, swell the death rec ords and otherwise damage the sta tus of certain localities. Boards of Trade are assisting to stamp out the disease. Press Associations are ear nestly endeavoring to impart through the newspapers the neces sary information to prevent and to cure consumption. Louisiana will do all in her power to make the state clean .and healthy place for all her people. YOU are invited to help.

South Carolina is making a fine effort to be a healthy southern com munity. In Illinois the school-child ren are enlisted. Reports from other sections show equal interest in this determinated and universal work of ridding the country of an appal ling yearly death-harvest. The living tuberculosis germs are contained in the spit by millions. These are easily scattered in the form of fine spray by coughing. When spit is cast on the floor or sidewalk it is easily tracked on the shoes. It then drives and mingles with the dust of the room. Dry sputum may also drop off in flakes from handkerchiefs or soiled miim You Need a Tonic There are times in every woman's life when she needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.

The fine spray from coughing and the dust containing these germs are readily inhaled and swallowed. The hands are frequently soiled with sputum. The food, especially of infants and children, is thus contam inated if the mother or cook has tuberculosis. The sputum is consequently the most dangerous source of tubercul osis. The milk of a tubercular mother seldom contains the germs, but the infant is easily infected from the mother's sputum, as already noted. Cow's milk (also butter and cheese) occasionally contain bacilli from cows that have the disease even slightly. The urine, feces and discharges from tuberculosis sores may oc casionally cause disease, but are less common sources of danger owing to their manner of disposal. Infection takes place in three ways, the first two being common. By inhalation through the mouth or nose, of dust and sprays. By swallowing both the inhaled matter contaminated food. By inoculation into cuts or scratches and throngh gums. æîRfi!iaïîfi!Kli!l2fiîfi!iiîfï HüjüRRIi I Nothing Could Be jjj More Suitable S For a I Christmas I Gilt 9 S æ THE REVIEW takes pleasure in calling I your attention to the swellest line of en- i graving and embossing ever shown in Morgan City.
