CHATTAHOOCHEE VALLEY TIMES, Lanett, Sept. 18, 1940 It is a well known fact, ithat for. merly the monkeys in the zoos of this country nearly all died of tuberculosis, until it was discovered that sunshine destroyed tubercular germs, though they flourish in dark, dismal cages, in which these animals were formerly allowed to live, cut off from fresh air and (sunshina. It had, been supposed that cold air would kill monkeys, because they came from warm countries, but this was proved to be a fallacy, for they can resist tuberculosis even in cold weather if they are kept in the fresh air. The healthy body is not attractive to germs.

Thus by keeping the monkeys in the fresh air and feeding them a normal diet they remained well. But all microbes are not our enemies. Some play a very large part in the economy of life; they cause decay and decomposition. It is the germs that disintegrate dead bodies and vegetation of all kinds and return them to the soil to furnish materials for all growing things to feed upon. Nothing is lost in the universe, only forms are changed.

The animal or plant dies and the process of decay takes place. It is then nutriment, or as we say fertilizes the crops and vegetable life of all kinds. Man and the animals feed upon the food thus produced and so the process goes on endlessly. Life, death, decay; their return to the soil to fertilize it and give sustenance to all life upon the earth.
