strange e ruin- I
From time to time, g
ours reach us concerning popular
fears of leprosy. It seems advisable)
to allay such fears by giving to the
public the scientific'knowledge which
'is available on the subject.
Leprosy is one of the communicable
diseases, and the responsible germ
- discovered in 1878. It is the
least infectious of all the communi-
cable diseases, apparently requiring
• close, prolonged and intimate contact•
to allow for its spread,
As far as is known, leprosy is al-
ways spread direct fromthe sick to
the well. There is no danger of cone
' treating. the disease through articles
used by those suffering from lep-
rosy. • Doctors and nurses who care
-for lepet'e rarely contract leprosy,
It is a.rentar•]cable fact, but never-
theless true, that a disease, which
was at one time a scourge through-
out theworld, is now, in Canada, to
a11 intents and purposes, banished
among • from m g ns.
For reasons which are not under-
stood,leprosy disappears as the
•Sta
n
dards of living `mprove, When peo-
•
-
• ple pass from what we know as the
nativo state to a civilized -condition,
making use of personal cleanliness and
public sanitation, leprosy vanishes.
In Canada, all cases of leprosy are
segregated in two ; leper colonies.
There are six patients in the colony
on the west coast, andeight in the
one on the east coast. This means•
that there are, all told, only fourteen
eases in Canada; and these are all
isolated so that there is no possibil-
ity of
ossibil-ity.of their spreading the disease.
The occasional case develops in
Canada because molly years elapse
from the time of exposure to the dis-
ease and the appearance of the symp-
toms. During that period, the person
conies into this country and is here
when the disease develops.
The fear of leprosy grows out of
the loatitesome appearance Sometimes
caused by the disease and the appar-
ently inevitable fatal termination.
Under modern treatment; the disease
is by no means incurable,
There isnot the slightest fear
that anyone living in this country
will 'contract leprosy. It is one dis-
ease
which has been brought ender
control.

"In 1906 Alerander Haddock was
62 years old. He was alone in the
world, without money, without op-
portunity to earn money. The doors
of occupation were shut tight, and
he was outside." Thus begins the
book, Second Wind, by Freeman Til-
den.
I wish that this book could be put
into the hands of every employed man
in this country. As a taxpayer ,I
would' be very willing that :the State
should buy and distribute this quite
fascinating and stimulating book. It
is a back-to-the-Iand book. It tells
how a university professor, at age,
62, got his "second wind" -show he
rescued himself from his own de-
spair, and front a plight which seem-
ed for a time to be hopeless. ,

!Hadlock had been a professor of
mathematics—a fine man. Then the
crash came—how and why is unim-
portant for the purposes of this con-
tribution to The News -Record. Had-
lock was stripped c1e'sin—,of worldly
possessions and of kindred. For a
time he was dazed. He had to live,
and he tried many ways of earning
a living--•Iookkeeping,door-to-door
selling, and other things. But et
these jobs he was not a great suc-
cess. He wanted to create something
—to do something worth wihle—to
lay foundations on which he could
rear something enduring. And in
his hungering he turned to the Great.
Mother—the soil. Would Mother
Earth take him in her arms? Mother
Earth did but she made Hadlock
prove the sincerity of his desire for
her comforting and sustenance; also
his quality: 11/fother Earth's love,
gentleness and mercy are not bought
cheaply. Oto must give

bounty are not exchanged for mere
money—not even tine millionaire's
motley. The purchase price is sweat
and toil, patience, a reciprocal affec-
tion, and a magnificent courage which
drought and pests and temptests and.
plagues and a thousand disappoint-
ments cannot congher.
M r� d
Hadlock did not let himself be de-
ceived by those who painted ruddy
pictures of the joys of farm life —
of how quick fortunes can be made
from poultry -farming, market gar-
dening,
ardening, orchard culture, mushroom
growing, ginseng growhag, the
growing of alsike clover seed, pig -
farming, and front other fortis of
agriculture; Fortunes are grade
from all these kinds of fanning, but
not commonly by beginners or by
those who have not won through by
the slow, costly and painful route of
trial and error.
Hadlock was 62, with soft muscles,
and his major knowledge was about
mathematics. pot about farming. Re
had the wisdom expressed in these
lines:
He who knows not, and knows not
that he knows not, he is a fool.
Shun Hind
He who knows not, and knows
that he knows not, he is teach-
able. Teach him!
He who knows, and knows not that
he knows, he is asleep. Wake

He who knows, and knows that. he
!mows, he is wise. Follow him!
