(National Tuberculosis Association,
Which Sponsors the Annual saio
of Red Cross Christmas Seals,
Reports 150,000 Deaths
Each Year From tho
Disease.
People who live In the snmller towns
nml on fnrins have n Rrent health nil-
fvnntnpe over the city dwellers In that
they hsivo ever tin nhumltmt supply of
fresh nlr nnd sunlight.
These two gifts of nature, so lavish-
lly bestowed, are not always appreciat
ed to their fullest extent. They tire
two of the stroiiKost weapons against
tho menace of tuberculosis, or con
sumption, ns It Is sometimes called.
But consumption Is not unknown In
tho rural districts. Tho death rate Is
sometimes as great In these sections as
In the more crowded localities, chiefly
because of carelessness or Indifference
to laws of health.
Tew, Indued, nro tho farm houses
or the homes in the smnller cities nnd
villages that cannot have an outdoor
sleeping porch. On tho contrary, wo
.Olieii mill mill uiu ttiuuuwa n niiri'if
ting rooms In the home tire shut light
jln the mistaken belief that night air
jls hnrmful.
This paves tne way tor disease, espe
cially tuberculosis, which generally at-
(tacks the lungs.
. White Plague Kills 150,000 a Year.
'' The white plague claimed l."0,000
(lives Inst year In the United States.
(More than 1,000,000 Americans nro suf
fering from It today. These figures
in re complied from reports of experts
(all oveV the country and sent to the
National Tuberculosis Association, the
lleadlng agency In the country to com
bat this disease. This organization Is
itponsor for the lied Cross Christmas
Seal bale, from which Its linunclul sup
pert Is chiefly derived.
As medical science has proved con
jsumptlon Is both preventable and cura
blc, the suffering caused by this dls
'cube Is largely unnecessary. Most tu
berculosis victims nrc between the
ages of eighteen nnd forty-live.
Causes Half Billion Loss Annually.
These are the yenrs when people
are most active, the years of their
greatest production. Tho snuffing out

jly half n billion dollars.
I Fresh air Is tho cheapest of medi
cines. Outdoor sleeping porches nro
not only for the sick. They help well
Ifolks to keep well, ami the country
dweller can have this aid to healthy

You can help directly by seeing that

Archeologists Expect to Uncover
Treasures of Art Hidden for Some
Twenty Centuries.
During tho wnr nrcheologleal exca
vations were continued at the finikin
colony of Syrenalcn on the north Af
rican const, nnd now comes the news
that what fins been found nlready
promNes the uncovering of another
ancient city as Important as Pom
pell. Once upon a time the spot
was n Greek colony, with the civiliza
tion of Greece transplanted to the
soil of Africa. The work has been car
ried on during the war under thu su
pervision of Prof, t.uclo MnrlunI, di
rector of the nrcheologleal service of
the ministry of the colonies, nnd the
prediction Is now made that the new
ly discovered city will eventually
prove actually richer than Pompeii In
Its evidence of a past civilization.
Here have been found already statues
of the (traces, n Hermes, tin Urns, an
Alexander tho Great nnd most Impres
sive of nil, the Aphrodite of Cyrenc,
which Is said by certain connoisseurs
to bo a fair rival In beauty to the
Venus of Mllo and the Venus of Cnl
dus. Tho discoveries have extended
over n good ninny years. It may be
added, however, as an Illustration of
the modified Joys of archeology, nnd
the Introduction of a new mystery Into
the history of art, that the Aphrodite
of Cyreue lacks both head and nrms.
The world may wonder what she
looked like as well as what she was
supposed to be doing.
PAYS TO STAY IN SCHOOL
Fact Shown In Dollars and Cents by
Figures Complied by Bureau of
Education.
The vnlue of staying at school Is
stated in dollars and cents in figures
recently compiled by the bureau of
education and distributed to boys and
girls throughout the country by tho
children's bureau.
From a study of n large number
of actual cases It has been found that
nt twenty-live years of age tho boy
who remained in school until he wns
eighteen had received .$2,000 more sal
ary than the boy who left school nt
fourteen, and that the better-educated
youth was then receiving more than
$000 n year more In pay.
"This Is equivalent to nn Investment
of $18,000 at 5 per cent," the state
ment salil. "Can a boy Increase his
capital ns fast In any other way?
"From this time on the salary of
the better-educated boy will rise still
more rapidly, while the earnings of the
boy who left school at fourteen will
Increase but Utile."
Mexico's Wealth of silver
The Green Sawyer.
Gen. Marlborough Churchill was
talking In Washington about the work
of the Intelligence department, of
which he Is the bead.
"It Is delicate work." Gen. Marl
borough Churchill said, "work that re
quires experience. Tho Inexperlencd
Intelligence oflieer nnd we hail a lot
of him during (he war Is apt to be
about as useful as the young college
man In the lumber camp.
"This college man wns set to wtlrlc
on n cross-saw with an old-stager. He
sawed pretty well for an hour or so,
and then his strength gave out. Still
be kept on. or tried to keep oiu but
nil of a sudden the old-stager stopped.
"'Son,' he sold, 'I don't mind yer
rldln' on the saw, but if It's jest the
same to you, I'll ust ye to keep your
feet off the ground.' "
Soon after tho ontranco of tho
United Stntes In tho war the successes!
of the Central Powers In Itoumnnliij
hud reduced that country to a most,
.tragic condition and In the summer.
of 1017, tho American Red Cross des-l
pntciied Its first Roumanian relief
contingent. Two hospitals were nt1
once taken over and operated by tbo
lied Cross, a canteen for the starving'
refugees established nnd food and
clothing distributed over a large nrcn.
Transportation wus one of the
toughest problems with which the Red,
Cross workers In Itoumnnla had to,
deal. .Hero Is seen nn soxcnrt used

Marvelous Memories.
It Is claimed for Mr. Tlminlns, tho
Shakespearean scholar who lias -Just
died, that nt the age of twenty-one be
recited the whole of "Hamlet" from
memory. Among the professional re
citers such n fent would not be re
garded as very remarkable.
Tho Into Samuel Rmndrnm know
by heart practically the whole of
Shakespeare, and Shakespeare was
only one of his many favorites.

Humorists" Hrnndrnm drew from all
sources, rend nothing nml was tuner

"We're very unsettled In our flat,"
said the worried-looking man nt the
club.
"What's the trouble?" asked his
friend.
"Well, onr children keep the next
door neighbors awake, so they pass
the time by playing the piano; that
makes the pet dog next door to them
bark, and that keeps tho children next
door awake, and there's so much noise
through the building that there's no
chance at all of our children going to
sleep."

Aroused Greed of Conquerors and
Brought Only Bondage and Misery
to the People.
Mexico litis produced a steady stream
of sliver ever since Us conquest by
Cortez In lt'10. Rut while the supply
seemed Inexhaustible, It brought more
misery than happiness to the nation,
In the opinion of the Salt Lake Trib
une, because It afforded the Incentive
to bring conquerors to Its shores to en
slave the people.
The Spaniards robbed ami enslaved
tho Aztecs to control the silver supply.
They blotted out a semi-barbarous
civilization that bud built great Irri
gation systems, massive temples nnd
beautiful cities, and tho once proud
nnd happy people were placed under
the yoke for four centuries.
An almost uncanny gift In ferreting
out the big silver deposits wns pos
sessed by the Spanish governors. The
cost of gunpowder wus so high, though,
that only the richest finds wore
worked. Only ore that produced over
1Q0 ounces of sliver to the ton was
mined. It Is sold that the owner of
the Qiilntecn mine, In the Alamos dis
trict, a Senor Alumada, on the mar
riage of his daughter, lined the bridal
chamber of the palnclo with bars of
silver ntul paved the way to the church
with the metnl.
Large profits nro made from demol
ishing some of (he old houses In the
Chihuahua district, and reducing the
material In them for silver. The nn
tlves who built them ued (o use (he
run of mine sing, In the absence of
chenper building material, nnd much
valuable ore went Into (he buildings.

consciousness of his own Importance,
