Answer. A doctor.
ItAllroiul I'oai'lies Swept.
AVhat do you thiiiB of the custom of
the railroads, sweepiiiB the floors of
rowded coaches, the porters first
sprinkliiiB a few drops of water on
the floor from a pop bottle? The rail-
roads dare not sweep a coach en route
in .Mississippi, but as soon aa the Ten-
nessee sAte line is crossed the train
crew enters the negro coach and sub
jects women and children to a fine
chance to inhale any disease germs
there may be in the dust on the floor,
t understand Tennessee leads tlie
states In the relative number of cases
of tuberculosis. C. IX. J.)
Answer. Cnless passengers or
crew feel so much at home in the
coach that they spit on the floor, there
is no reason to imagine that tubercu- I
losls or other disease Is conveyed in
the 'dust stirred up by sweeping. If
Mississippi can make the mil road peo
ple behave, Tennessee can do ho.

Answer Tuberculosis of bones

years ago. There Is a distinct tenden
cy toward spontaneous recovery, Iho
wilh deformity. With Intelligent I
treatment recovery Is hastened and
deformity prevented. Tho first es-
sentlal for complete recovery is phys
iological rest uninterrupted over a
prolonged period. This is provided
primarily by ordinary rest as in pul
monary tuberculosis, and sccondarlly
y casts, braces or other apparatus
for .supporting H,j glinting the af
