The Threat of a Dread Disease

National [.eper Home at Carville, La..
from 200 to 500.
There is much mystery about lepro
sy even nowadays. [t spreads wher
ever sufferers are not carefully isolat
ed; so it must be contagious or in
fectious; yet nobody knows how the
infection is conveyed from one person
to another. The germ, bacillus leprae,
was isolated and identified many years
ago.
There are a great many lepers in
Louisiana and Texas. The malady has
made alarming progress within recent
vears in Cuba. It is an appalling men
ace in the United States of Colombiz,
where, according to conservative es
timate, there are not fewer than 30,-
000 lepers in the departments of San
tander and Boyaca alone.
Ever since we took possession of
the Hawaiian Islands we have had
there a big leprosy problem on our
hands. There are about 650 lepers,
segregated in the settlement at Molo
kai, and more than eighty new cases
develop annually, on an average, in
the archipelago.
The idea that prolonged and inti
mate contact with leprosy is needed
to bring about infection is not borne
out by facts observed in Hawaii. In a
large majority i cascs there is no rec
ord of any previous association with
lepers.

GIVES THEM AN ELECTRIC
SHOCK, AND TO ESCAPE THE
“JUICE” COME TO SURFACE.
GREENWICH, ' Conn.—Peter J.
O’Keefe, son of William O’Keefe and
chief storekeeper at the naval prison
at Portsmouth, N. H., has invented a
machine to make angleworms come
out of the earth to be eaten by chick
ens, and has won a Ford automobile
for writing a story about his inven
tion.
The device is an electric one, and
literally shocks the worms out of the
ground and makes them easy prey for
the chickens.
O’Keefe said that he had tried out
the invention. It is two brass rods that
are pushed into the earth several feet
apart. A wire is attached to each rod
and each wire connects with an ordi
nary telephone magneto. Then by
twisting the handle of the magneto
the earth between the rods is shaken
and loosened, and the angleworms be
gin to take to the air in reference to
the tingling earth. Chickens are 1n
waiting and the troubles of the worms
are over. The device 'should 'be of
benefit to fishermen who like to fish
but hate to dig bait.
Cuthbert Dedicates Its
Modern: $60,000.00
New School Building
Handsome Structure Has All Latest
Improvement. Appropriate Relig
ious Exercises Held.
. (CUTHBERT, Ga.—The *new $60,-
000 high school building was dedicated
with appropriate religious exercises,
Rev. C. R. Jenkins, former president
of Wesleyan college, who formerly
taught in Shellman, and who is now
pastor at Thomasville, preached a
most helpful, practical and well-receiv
ed sermon in the new school audito
rium.
The churches gave way for this ser
vice, uniting their congregations, and
furnishing a union choir. The Cuth
bert orchestra assisted in the music,
and Mrs. F. A. Dean sang a ‘solo.
Misses Annette McDonald and Eva
Howell were in charge of the music.
The pastors of the local churches took
part.
The neav school building is one of
the most attractive in this section of
Georgia, having all the latest improve
ments in modern school building,
with numerous class rooms, audito
rium and one of the most up-to-date
stages in south Georgia. The audito
rium is seated with opera chairs, build
ing steam heated, with electric lights,
water and closet facilities. School
people who have seen the new Cuth
bert building speak in the highest
praise of everything connected with it.
SWALLOWS MIGRATE FROM
ENGLAND TO SOUTH AFRICA
Experiments Show Birds Make 5,000
Mile Trip From the British Isles.
LONDON.—Swallows, it has been
established by experiment, migrate
from England to South Africa, 5,000
miles distant.
A man in Berkshire in 1921 fastened
2 mark on a swallow and turned it
loose. The bird was reported to have
heen caught five months later at Jan
senville, South Africa. Other marked
swallows, liberated in England, have
been reported from Natal, Orange
Free State, Cape Province and the
Transvaal.
“clean” of the disease are allowed, if
they so wish, to go and live with their
leper wives and husbands at Molokai.
In such iustances if one life-partner
dies the other is permitted to leave
the settlement after successfully pass
ing a medical examination. It fre
quently happens, howev,er, that the
survivor remains and marries another
leper. There are several persons now
at the settlement who have been mar
ried in succession to three lepers, and
one “clean” woman has at present her
éourth leper husband. Usually the
“clean” wife or husband has no dread
of contracting the malady, and expe
rience has shown that they do so in
less than 5 per cent of all such cases.
Outside, in the native Hawaiian popu
lation at large, the “incidence” of lep
rosy is 2 per cent.
Children born of these marriages
are removed within six hours after
birth to “clean” surroundings, and
thereafter are not allowed to come in
to contact with lepers. Some of the
women who take care of them are
wives of lepers. Only one of these
children to date has developed the dis
ease.
The beneficial effects of chaulmoo
gro oil have been widely proclaimed.
It is a remedy by no means so new
as is generally supposed, having been
used at Molokai since 1886. In many
cases it is helpful, and it has effected
some cures; but several sufferers treat
ed with apparent success and dis
charged as cured have relapsed, neces
sitating their return to the island.

PRESIDENT’S VETO
FOUR VOTES WERE NEEDED
TO OVERRIDE. PRESS OF NA
TION PRAISES HARDING.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The scn
|ate sustained President Harding’s veto
of the bonus bill. Previously the house
had overriden the veto by a large ma
jority.
The senate roll call showed 44 yeas
It() 28 nays, or four less than the two
thirds majority necessary to override
the veto. The vote in the house was
258 to 54, or fifty more than the re
quired number.
Twenty republicans and 17 demo
crats voted to override the president,
and 21 republicans and 7 democrats
voted to sustain him. The seven dem
ocrats were Dial, Glass, Meyers,
Owen, Shield, Underwood and Wil
liams.
Press Praises President.
Comment on the action of President
' Harding in vetoing the soldiers’ bonus
bill shows widespread approval among
the cosmopolitan press of the country.
Democratic and republican newspa
pers conjointly, on the whole, came
out with complimentary editorials in
which it was declared that the chief
executive had in substance saved the
country from an extravagant burden
negotiated at the hands of politicians.
The feeling prevailed that Mr. Hard
ing had rendered a distinct service to
the country in the face of well laid op
position. At the same time the opinion
was expressed that members of the
house and senate in voting for the
bonus, did so knowing they were pass
ing the buck to the white house. The
position was taken along the line that
many senators and representatives, at
heart opposéd to the bonus, and who
ordinarily would have voted against it,
lrelieved themselves of the responsibili
ty afterj'laving been informed of the
presidenf’s intention to kill the bill.
Bet Untaken.
Senator John Sharp Williams, dem
ocrat of Mississippi, and one of the
leading opponents of the compensation
measure, took this position on the
floor today. He declared in no uncer
| tain terms that the psychology of some
of his colleagues was well understood,
adding that the bill was surrounded
with more politics than perhaps any
one he had ever seen. Senator Wil
liams said in part: .
“Mr. President, if it were true—and
it is not—that the bonus bill was for
the benefit of those who looked into
the mouths of the cannon, and "who
walked up the steeps against the Ger
men artillery and infantry there
would be some reason in the attempt
at eloquence made during the last few
ll_ninuteslof the speech of the senator
' from Missouri; but it is not true. This
is a bill to give a bonus to something
like four millions of men, over one
half of whom never faced a shot, over
one-third of whom never went across
the sea, one-fourth of whom never
served outside of a military camp;
about one-tenth of whom, men and
women, were serving with shoulder
straps in Washington departments and
never got anywhere to illustrate their
courage.
“Why did they not confine this bo
nus bill to the men who faced fire,
the men who upon Flanders fields
in France offered their breasts to
gun shots? Why did you put them
ed it to one million men who went to
France, and a little bit over a million,
vou would not have gotten much con
sideration from the politicians.
Calls for Plain Truth.
| “I suggest that, in accordance with
’the oratory and the eloquence of the
senator from Missouri—he offer an
amendment that nobody shall receive
any benefit under this act unless he
was actually under fire during the
war, and I will bet three plantations
to two ginger cakes they dare not
offer the amendment and I will deliver
the plantations if I lose, in absolute
hopelessness of ever collecting the
ginger cakes if I win.
“Do not indulge in oratory and elo
quence and that sort of folly. Just tell
somebody the plain truth about it.
Do not give the fellow who performed
his military service at Camp Meade
the same pay you give the boy who
charged at St. Miheil.” ‘

FIVE REPUBLICANS AGAINST
BILL AND TWO DEMOCRATS
VOTED FOR IT.
Final legislative action on the tariff
of 1922 has been taken with the adop
tion of the conference report by the
senate, and the measurec has been
signed by President Harding.
The senate vote was 48 for to 23
against. Five republicans voted against
the conference report and two demo
crats supported it. Three republicans,
Cameron, Cummins and Lenroot, who
voted for the bill as amended in the
senate, opposed it in the form it came
from conference. Y
The two democrats who voted for
the bill are Broussard and Ransdell
of Louisiana, and the republicans who
voted against it are Borah, Cameron,
Cummins, LaFollette and Lenroot.
President Harding signed the tariff
act Thursday, and it is now a law. In
attaching his signature to the new act
the president said: “If we succeed
as I hope we will succeed in making
effective the elastic provisions of this,
law it will prove the greatest contribu
tion toward progress in tariff making
in a century.”
BONUS CLAIM FOR WAR 1812.
The register of the Topeka land of
fice has a land patent issued by Abra
ham Lincoln to an Indian at Fort
Scott as bounty for fighting in the
war of 1812.
Mentho-Sulphur, a pleasant cream,
will soothe and heal skin that is irri
tated or broken out with eczema; that
is covered with ugly rash or pin;sles,
or is rough or dry. Nothing subdues
fiery skin eruptions so quickly, says a
noted skin specialist.
The moment this sulphur preparation
is applied the itching stops and after
two or three applications, the eczema
is gone and the skin is delightfully clear
and smooth. Sulphur is so precious as
a skin remedy because it destroys the
parasites that cause the burning, itch
ing or disfigurement. Mentho-Sulphur
always heals eczema right up.
A small jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur
may be had at any good drug store.
