TUBERCU- Great Work Done Last Two Years -jNew Campaign in Mississippi --and Louisiana. Tuberculosis will again be the theme of an All-South campaign, which opened Oct. 25 in Jackson, Miss., with the American Exhibi tion of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber culosis under the direction of E. G. Routzahn. Within the past two years every large city east of the Mississippi and South of the Ohio, except Mo bile, has been stirred to activity in the war against consumption as a result of the crusade that has been carried on. In Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Vir ginia, state sanatoria fbr the treat ment of tuberculosis have been erected or provided for. Local san atoria providing for the treatment of hundreds of patients have been established in fourteen cities in seven different states. Special tu berculosis dispensaries for the in struction and relief of needy con sumptives have been opened in nine cities in seven different states. Four state and 4(3 local associations for the prevention of tuberculosis have been organized, three in Alabama; one in Florida; five in Georgia; seven in Kentucky; ten in North Carolina; nine in South Carolina; four in Tennessee: six in Vir ginia; and five in West Virginia. At the beginning of the All South Campaign a little over two years ago there were not more than six centers in the South where anti-tuberculosis movement ahd aroused any activity. In addition to ttie special anti-tuberculosis agencies enlisted in this work, health boards, women's clubs, busi ness associations, churches, labor unions, and schools have all joined hands in a gigantic effort to reduce the large annual losses from con sumption. The campaign of the National As sociation for the Study and Pre vention of Tuberculosis this com ing year will be carried on par ticularly in Mississippi and Louisi ana. Already some excellent work has been done in these states, and it is hoped to arouse every center of population before May, 1911. WESTMINSTER SCHOOL. Rutherfordton, N. C, Oct. 18, 1910. Editor Bladen Journal: Dear Sir: I would like to send to your paper from time to time, the news of this community. We have some of the most beautiful scen ery around the school. Mountains on three sides, "the river and smaller streams with their many curves and falls. Greatly in con trast with Ufa scenery in '"Good old Bladen" with its level country, and large rivers. Westminster School is in Rutherford county, about seven miles North of Ruth erfordton. We have telephone connections and daily mail; large campus, good buildings: the work on the new dormitory will be com pleted, if nothing prevents, in a short lime. This will be a great addition to the school.. We have an excellent school in every respect. Our teachers could not be surpassed! Rev. J. K. Hall, principal of the school, -is a grad uate of Davidson, and a more conse crated man would be hard to find. Kind to everybody, but he expects the boys to do their duty. When he has to mete out justice, he is fair and impartial. Prof. Hay. assist ant principal and Prof. Reid are both graduates of Davidson and splendid men. The school has a primary department of which Miss Cora Long has charge. Music is taught by Miss Mary Heath John son; Mrs. Hall is matron, and is greatiy esteemed by all who know her. The school is doing fine work along many lines , this year. We . have two football teams, var sity and scrubs. Varsity has gone to Asheville to play two games. Twenty-two of our boys went. We have a good team, which has been coached by Prof. Hay. and should be victorious in at least one of the games. We have four tennis courts and baseball grounds, so vou can see that the physical part is not neglected. Also have two horizental bars. The school hopes to have a good baseball team next season. A good many of the boys attend ed an ice cream supper at Union Mills on the evening of October 1, which was given at the 'public school house. The evening of Octo ber 15 many attended another at Centennial church. Both proved to be a success, both socially and financially. The Y. M. C. A. of onr school ex pects a great time the 29th, when an oyster supper will be given by this Association. It seems as if I have only writ ten about the school this time. I hope to write you more next time about the news of the community. Good luck to Bladen. GEORGE S. BEATTY. HORNE'S STORI Heigho! Mr. Editor! As we have been absent for a while we will come again. Dr. T. M. Sikes was a pleasant caller in this vicinity Sunday. We are sorry to report the illness of Mrs. Leroy Hayes. Mr. Z. R. Jackson, of Rowland, N. C, is visiting friends in theis sec tion.

From 1650 until within recent years people believed malaria was due to the breathing of air laden with moisture and the odor of de caying vegetation. As this kind of air is invariably associated with swamps, malaria, fr some time, has been recognized as a disease of low, marshy countries. The word, malaria, is a combination of the two Italian words, mal and aria, which mtan bad air. In the nineties of the last cen tury a party of Englishmen, people living where malaria is unknown, selected the most malarious spot in the world, the Roman Campagna, for an interesting experiment, the results of which are absolutely in compatible with the old idea re garding the cause of the disease. In that malarious region, where nearly everybody suffered from the dis ease, these Englishmen had erec ted, within a few feet of each other, two cheap cottages. One, provided with double swinging doors and closely screened, was mosquito proof; the other, without screens, was perfectly open to the mosqui toes. The party of Englishmen di vided into two groups, one group inhabiting the mosquito - proof house, the other groups, the un screened house: Both groups were fed from the same kitchen, drank from the same well, and breathed the same air. The group living in the screened house remained per fectly well; the group living in the unscreened house all had malaria. Sir Patrick Manson, an English expert on malaria, had mosquitoes to bite Italians suffering with ma laria, transferred these mosquitoes in cages to England, where the hungry insects were permitted to bite St. Patrick's son and another man. Within sixteen days, the time required for malaria to de velop after infection, both of these gentlemen, who had never been exposed to malaria, became ill with the disease. An Italian expert on malaria named Grassi discovered a form of the disease peculiar to certain spe cies of birds. By confining mos quitoes in cages with birds with this disease and afterwards trans ferring the mosquitoes to new cages with healthy birds, he could reproduce the disease. Ross, another English authority, with the aid of the microscope, traced the malaria germ, sucked into the insect's body in biting, into the walls of the mosquito's stomach where it underwent a regular series of changes, thence to the salivary glands of the insect, whence it was ejected into the un fortunate next bitten. All this evidence makes out a clear case against the mosquito as the carrier of malaria. If this be correct, the destruction of this in sect should be invariably followed by the decrease of complete eradi cation of malaria. This final evi dence, the conclusive evidence of actual results, will be furnished in next week's article. ELKTON NOTES. The church at Mt. Zion had a gracious revival meeting. Rev. Charles Smith, of Whiteville, preached some earnest gospel ser mons. It is a real pleasure to hear this consecrated man of God "speak forth the words of truth and sober ness." There were four additions to the church. Miss Hattie Harrell. after spend ing nearly a week at her home near Ahoskie, at the bedside of her little brother, returned Saturday after noon. We are all rejoicing with her over the 'wonderful improve ment in the little boy's condition, which at one time seemed so nice ly hopeless. Miss Williams, of Pheonix, ar rived Saturday afternoon to take charge of the school at Burney school house. Mr. James Davis, of Chadbourne, spent Sunday with his parents; Mr. Frank Burney of Wananich, also came home Sunday. Mr. O. G. McDougald went to Wilmington yesterday to see his sister, Mrs. Florence Robeson, having been informed by the Rev. Mr. Crowly, of the near approach of her death from that dread dis ease, consumption. Mr. and Mrs Troy. Baldwin, of Columbus county, lost their bright little baby of nearly two years of age. The little one suffered quite a long while before God sent his an gels to carry her away to be with Him forever. She died Friday. Little Edward Craddock Elkins has been very sick but is a little improved. J Joel Elkins, twelve-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Elkins, fell from a load of cotton and broke his arm recently. He is getting on as well as could be expected. E. E. LISRON NOTES. Dear Mr. Editor: As I have been absent for several weeks will come again. Mr. and Mrs. John Floyd, of Barn ville, spent last week with friends here. Mr. and Mrs. Alex. Register and children visited here last week. Rev. Mr. Porter will preach at this place Sunday morning and Suntlay night, October 30. The Big Tent meeting, which has been going on at this place, closed Sunday night. The meeting was conducted by Rev. Williams, of Florida, Rev. Lekworth and Mrs. Mitchel of Birmingham, Ala. Mr. Beathel Meares and Miss An nie Guyton were married Thursday night at Mr. I. A. Register's. Mrs. A. A. Nye, who has been real sick, we are glad to say, is able to be out again. Our school will soon start. We will be glad to welcome Miss Smith back to our midst. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Nye spent Sun day at Mrs. A. A. Nye's. Mrs. Shaw and daughter, Hena rette, visited at Mr. I. A. Register's Sunday. With best wishes to The Journal. Prayer Receptacle. A deaf old lady in Ansonia, Conn, sent for a clergyman, as she was very sick, and needed ministerial consola tion. After talking on general relig ious topics, the good man Inquired if It was her wish that he should pray with her "Sartjnly, minister, sartlnly,, was the reply. The sick one fumbled around her bed, and finally produced an old-fashioned ear trumpet, with the request, as the minister opened his prayer book, that he should "pray Into that." TURBAN IS POPULAR 6HOW8 MOST PIQUANT DEVELOP MENTS OF SEASON. Most Popular Shape In Paris, Where They Are Epidemic, Is Large and Low Ermine, Fur and Velvet Used. The turban Is epidemic in Paris. Turbans of fur, of marabou, of tulle, of beaver, of velvet, of any and every material suitable for the purpose are being worn by the smart Parisians and aie gradually gaining favor here; but It is the turban of fur that shows the most piquaint developments. There Is bound to be a certain basic Bimlliarity in the models, for fur. es pecially of the long-haired variety, is not easily .draped and manipulated, and since the modish turban must 1e broad and posed low on the head there ts little room for vagaries of line, but even In line there are varia tions and in detail there is a world of difference. The most popular shape in Paris is the one large and low, extending far out over the bouffant side hair and resting low on the forehead, yet with held from total eclipse of the face by a soft supporting invisible bandeau. The soft brim rolls up closely against the big crowd and some sort of rakish feather ornament sweeps back from the left front or stands up in brush fashion. There are some delightful turbans in eimine, which may be trimmed with i full white egret; and there are also many models in all white ermine or fox. Two long, handsome quills of ostrich, a graceful osprey, lyre bird plumage, or made quills of stunning color may trim such turbans or per haps there is no feather but instead a cluster of fruit or flowers or some hanvlsome barbaric ornament of gold tissue. Combinations of contrasting furs or of velvet and fur are sometimes seen In this model, the latter working out effectively en suite with a costume echoing the Color of the velvet. Other low, round turbans have no semblance of brim, being bowl shaped or mushroom shaped, but softened In line by the flufflness of the fur. All that has been said of the trimming bestowed upon the roll-brim turbans Is applicable here also, and these shapes are at their best in such long haired fur as fox, lynx, marten, etc. A cluster of gardenias with their green foliage is often their only trim ming, and roses of gold tissue are much used upon the darker fursfc two or three them being tucked into thu fur at the left side. One effective French turban In ermine was trimmed In a glowing bunch of velvet geran iums shading from brilliant red to pink, and on another white turban was posed one huge purple orchid. WAIST OF SALMON PINK. This waist is of salmon pink voile, made with plaits and trimmed with black lace and black liberty pipings. The little guimpe and the under sleeves are of white lace. Individual Towel. It is coming more and more into general use. It is a pleasant and dainty custom. It costs no more in the long run, re-' quiring but a little extra care In sort ing the laundry and arranging the towels In the proper places for each member of the family. These towels vary in size from 16 by 27 inches to 18 by 30 inches. They may be simply marked with the initials of the owner, or they may be elaborately embroidered as they are when they are offered as a gift. This Individual problem: "What shall we give the men for Christmas?" Almost every man travels some time during the year, and nothing is more convenient than a few of the small, easily packed individual tow els for the traveling bag. Putting on Gloves. The best manner of putting on gloves is to open and turn back the gloves to the thumb and powder light ly. Put the fingers in their places, not the thumb, and carefully work them on with the first finger and thumb of the other hand, until they are quite down; never press between the fingers. Pass the thumb into its place with care, and work on with the fingers; turn back the glove and slide it over the hand and wrist, never pinching the kid, and work the glove into proper place by means of the lightest pressure, always allowing the kid to elide between the fingers. In finish ing, care should be taken In fastening the first button. Veils of the Moment. Stylish and becoming are veils of white ring dot net with the ring3 in black and a fine black lace border to match. The winter's veils show large, oc tagonal meshes, sometimes plain, again with big woven dots. Care should be exercised in wearing DRESS IN GREEN ZEPHYR The Trimming In a Darker Shade la Really What Gives Points to v Costume. This Is In green zephyr striped In a darker shade. The skirt Is trimmed wlti panel at front, cut wider from the knees downwards; the stripes run across, while at the sides and back they run down. The bodice is cut to match skirt, and tas the sleeves cut in with sides and back; buttons and loops of braid form an effective trimming. Materials required; 6V6 yards zephyr 30 inches wide, 2 dozen but tons;" BRAID ON LATEST COATS Collar and Cuffs Followed in Outline by Narrow Self-Colored Braiding. Many of the new tailored suits foi autumn show, below the sailor collar, which is so popular, a false collar of stitching, or more usually of braiding. The "typical coat of this sort was seen recently, a loose hip-length jacket, Wi V-shaped vest, sailor collar fin Islf by- a silk:, tie, and a row of nar row elf-colored braiding, about five incs below, following the collar In outline. The cuffs were finished In the same way. The great number of ruffles which have appeared as modifications of the tunic effect seems to have suggested this style, which gives a becoming effect of height to young girls and short women. Soutache or very nar row flat braid is U6ed. Sometimes It reappears on the tunic or simply in banding effect on the skirt below the knees. . It is a good way to make last au tumn's suit seem modish again, and to conceal any necessary lengthening for the growing girl. SOLVES THE HAT QUESTION Clever Girl Works Transformation That Can Be Followed by Any Ingenious Woman. There is a clever girl working Ii one of the government departments at Washington who has satisfactorily solved the question of summer hats. First she bought as nice a hat as she could afford; it is a soft straw braid, in the natural color, made over a frame that exactly suited her faceand hair. Then for business wear it is trimmed with a fold of black t velvet around the crown, with a broad wired bow at one side. This trimming is entirely made up and finished, so that it can he easily removed and as easily put back on again. The second set of trimmings is a wreath of beautiful roses and green leaves. The flowers are a soft deli cate pink, of an exquisite shade, to wear with light dresses, and the third set of trimming consists of a scarf of brilliant poppies, which is used on the hat when it is to be worn on trips or excursioins.. Surely this Idea ought to prove suggestive to other girls. A black hat should be suscept ible of several similar transforma tions. To Save a Tear. To keep a skirt placket from tear ing out it the bottom, sew on a hook and eye at the extreme end of the placket, fasten and then crush flat This is a simple but useful thing to know, as it saves many a stitch. the veils or the nose sticking through the meshes gives a grotesque appear ance. The most becoming veil Is a fine mixture of black and white, tiny black dots on white net being better than white dots on black. These have be come known as the beauty veil be cause so many women wear them, r gardless of style. The Tunic. The tunic continues In favor for fall styles. It is usually very long, though short tunics have been seen in Paris; and It Is frequently caught into a band below the knees. Sometimes it is of self-material, but more frequently of some such sheer fabric as marquisette, silk, voile or chiffon. : Overdresses, very much akin to tunics, are of sheer fabrics also, and are especially popular for afternoon and evening gowns. The chief use of the tunic as trim ming or ornament seems to be the veiling of tie popular oriental effects. Sometimes the tunic is edged or banded with the fabric It veils.
