The very important report Just Issued by the medical department of the Eng lish local government board on -certain aspects of the tuberculosis question is the outcome of investigations prosecuted during the last ve years under the supervision of Dr. T. tsulstrode, one of Great Britain's medical inspectors. The statistics collected show , an extraordi nary decrease In the number of deaths in England and Wales .from tuberculosis or consumption and reader It posHible that three decades, hence the. dlaeaaa will be as extinct there . as leprosy or typhus fever now Is. There hi no doubt that In the first half of the last century the mortality from consumption In England and Wales had' acquired, alarming proportions. - In this malady destroved 5!M5 lives, a num ber equivalent to 39.1 for each 10.0W) per sons living. In 19 . xa the other' hand, although the' population bad greatly In creased, tuberculoma destroyed only 39. 746 Hves, a mortality equal to only ll. for each 10.000 persons then in existence. As the mortality resulting from con sumption in 1900 was about equnl to the decrease observed in the preceding thir ty years It follows that the disease will dlsapepar totally thirty years hence, pro 'vlded the decrease in the number of deaths shall continue at the same rate. Such continuance, of course, cannot be assumed. Between 1SU and 1SC6 there was no change in the mortality resulting from tuberculosis. What is the causa of the diminished ravages of consumpftonT It cannot be ascribed entirely, tr even mainly, to th discovery of the tubercle bacillus and the subsequent legislation intended . to prevent the sale of meat and milk de rived from tuberculous cattle. Dr. Koch's discovery was not made until 1882 and had no effect upon legislation until some years afterward. Yet In 1)5 the mortality from consumption had shrunk-ift about en-half -ot what it had been In 1838, namely, from 39.8 for each 10.000 persons living to 18. - Neither can the lessened deadllness of the disease be attributed to the establishment of sana toria, for few If asy of these were op erative In 1885. and even as regards those which have since been opened Dr. Bul strode has been unable to And that they have produced any perceptible effect up on the rate of decline 'of consumption mortality either in England and Wales generally or in counties possessing such Institutions as compared with those which are destitute of tbem. That seems to have happened In the case of tuberculosis which is known to have occurred in the case of other germ A I maa mum A Writ ll 1 1 ft I Weflkenlnff of the viruient power of the hostile bacillus, coupled with a simultaneous increase in the power of resistance evinced by the phagocytes, or' friendly microbes which constitute the garrison of the human body. It has been proved by post-mortem examinations conducted in many parts of ths civilised world that con sumption is now far less fatal than it used to be and that great numbers of persons dying from other maladies pre sent unmistakable traces of having been Infected by tuberculosis at some earlier period and of having overcome the ten dency of the Infected portion of lung to soften and disintegrate., The Inference is that the bacillus of consumption, whether It reaches the lungs through the respiratory passages or finds Its way thither from the tuberculous meat or milk, may either lapse Into a passive state for a long time or permanently or be roused Into activity by external cir cumstances adverse to health. WASHINGTON'S ANCESTRY. Royal Blood In Veins of Father of . Our country. , ' Caroline Tlckner, in Harper's Weekly. "Let no man fancy he knows sport." said the late Moncure D.

Yet, despite the many clever scholars and antiquarians of America who hanre tried their hands at this "sport," It has remained ror a reuow or tne uoy al Historical Society of England, Rev, Frederick W.

Edward I was himself . a mighty warrior, and first in many wars; "nls prowess was early exercised on the Turks, during that last crusade ever embarked on by England's kings, and when the throne became his own he successfully carried out his project of uniting England, Scotland and Wales, He "brought, the famous Stone of Scone to "Westminster Abbey, and un der him England became a mighty nation, lie was a monarchy wise and great, even though he had little lean ing , toward democratic government and did not display special fondness for Magna Charta. Edward Long shanks wasr not an ancestor to -be de splsed by his descendant George, of kingly bearing and equally long legs. That this direct line of descent has not . until now been established may seem a bit surprising In view of the exhaustive research that has been de voted to the Washington 'ancestry. The reason Is, however, not difficult to understand when one reflects that such research has been concerned ex clusively wi-th the male line, while this royal blood Is Introduced Into the family by Marsraret Butler, who mar ried Laurence Washington In 1588.

Plain Facto About ' .It" is the duty of every one who Is Interested In hair preservation tolearn enough about the sub- Ject to tell whether an advertisement for a hair i remedy is reasonahle or - unreasonable. In this connection, the United States Post Office depart ment has begun a much needed campaign against false and misleading statements In advertisements - In general. While this work -Is highly commend-i able and should be greatly extended, still at th same time It tends' to paternalism rather than to personal self-reliance. If YOU know that the claims for a hair remedy are unreasonable and untrue, that knowledge 'will save you money and . prevent disappointment. - , .. The trouble lie in the fact that certain over ambitious proprietors employ advertising writers' who do not know the composition of the reme dies they write about, and even If they did, they are not expected to know the therapeutic action of the various Ingredients. Two very familiar and oft repeated statements are, that the hair must lo watered and fed Just like a plant, and that the color of the hair, once destroyed, car 'be restored by natural process. While both of these state ments are false In every particular. It requires some little knowledge of the hair follicle to un- -derstand why the statements are false. ' , Tlif hair follicle is a pear shaped . sack In th scalp that holds' the hair root. At the bottom of the hair follicle and extending up Into It for a short distance, is a nlppl-i shaped . projection that remains In the scalp when a hair root Is forcibly pulled out. This projTtlon I the hair papilla from which, the hair "root" prows. Tim ro)- ' tinuous addition to the bottom of the ' hair root forces the hair proper out through the- scalp.

First Section of the Prohibition Bill a Little Obscure lUiitrs Point to Whrtlier One Can Make ; Wbis-key I - For His Own Use. Special to The Observer. Lexington, Feb. 15. "What do the two little words 'for gain mean in! the prohibition bill?" Is a question j that ' has ibeen asked by several here during: the past few days. The first part of the first section reads as fol lows, and this is really the most Im portant part of the bill: "Section 1. That It shall be unlawful for any per son or persons, firm or corporation to manufacture or in any manner make, or sell, or otherwise, dispose of. for gain, any spirituous, , vinous, ferment ed of malt liquors or Intoxicating bit ters within the gtate of North Caro-; Una." ,-. ' :. It "will be seen that the words "for gain" are preceded and also followed by a comma, which makes the words apply to all of the section that pre cludes the Words. Soma are of the be lief that It was not meant for the comma to appear before the words, which would have made them apply as follows: "Or otherwise dispose of! for gain." Rut In the official bill aaj snt out from the office of the Secre- j tary of State the comma appears be-l tween the words "or and "for." It J is argued that If this la the case such j a thing as a community distillery i tvould be possible for a number of! men could get United Statss license.; and muke their own whiskey. The two little words have puzzled all Who have read, the bill closely and several lawyers have been heard to discuss the probably meaning of the first sec tion. Last night Lexington was visited by a severe wind and rain storm, but no damage was don. Mr. H. Cam Heltman, a young man of this place, has applied to the Unit ed States patent offlee for a patent on an automatic spring arc light. Mr. Heltman is of the opinion that he has found a device that will bring him in a nice stun of money. Prior to this Mr. Heltman has secured several patents.
