The National Association for the study and Prevention of Tuberculosa says that the first requisite for a com prehensive campaign for the elimina, tion of tuberculosis in a state or city is well-enforced law, requiring that ev ery living case of tuberculosis be re ported to the health authorities. Such reporting is now required by law 01 health regulations in 25 states, while In 28 states and territories no provi sion whatever is made for keeping rec ords of cases of this infectious disease. Several cities in non-registration states, as for instance, Chicago, Cleve land, St. Louis and New Orleans, have local ordinances requiring that tuber culosis be reported. In all, there are about 100 cities in the United States which have ordinances of this nature CREATING ENVY. 1 ’” “* ——— -■— _ & Bronson—What do you find la the greatest pleasure In living In the country?

I found It not only a most palatable and re freshing beverage, but a food as well.

Tiie charge is frequently made that although it may make her fitter to cope with life as an Individual, it unfits her for ma ternity. Critics point out that man's education is largely designed to in crease his efficiency us the head of a family. Should not woman's training be similarly shaped? And how may we accomplish this? These mat ters, according to an editorial writer in The Interstate Med ical Journal, are destined soon to be rigidly investigated; and physlcalns, he says, must take a larger part in these investigations, for the question of physical and nervous fitness is the paramount factor after all. He Says: “The marriage- and birth-rates of alumnae are of vital importance, for though we must confess that some of these women are of types not worth perpetuating, yet as a class they should produce a more intellectual generation than girls too stupid to accept educa tion. ft is charged and denied that too few alumnae marry, and too late at that, and even these produce too few offspring. We are soon to receive more accurate information, but in its inter pretation we must not forget that a woman who raises two of her three In fants is doing better social work than she who raises only two of her eight or 10, and this irrespective of the pos sibly higher intellectuality of the for mer two, who receive better nourish ment and care as a rule—and the cost Is far less for the result. “There are hosts of women, by the way, who assert that the divinely im posed task of replenishing the earth has been completed, and that an aver age family of two surviving children Is i all that God now demands. Those who ! persist in raising large families are only prevnting the marriage or repro duction of others, if the average num ber of children can not be more than three. In this view of the case the alumnae may size up better than the rabbit-iike lower types. “The physique of college girls, there fore, seems to be of more importance than that of boys, and we, as a profcs j sion, are vitally interested in tlio re peated charge that too many of the female students are injured by poor food and excessive indoor confinement in rooms badly ventilated and other wise unsanitary. Making due allow ance for exaggerations and even base less assertions, there must be some truth in the charges or they would have been refuted long ago. There must be room for Improvement at least. ... It really seems that the fe male physique Is getting frailer in civilization, making a reduced birth rate necessary. If the colleges turn out women strong enough, we need not try to make them stronger. The point to prove is whether they are not made weaker. "The character of female education may seem foreign to our sphere of sanitation, yet it has a close relation to the physique. Coeducation now seems doomed, from the overwhelming proofs that the rates of mental development of boys and girls are so different, and the mental characters also, that the two sexes can not possibly keep pace without one lagging and keeping back the other, or being unduly strained to keep up. Girls naturally surpass the boys and yet are dreadfully strained In some ways in the competition. The curriculum In the female college should, therefore, not be patterned after that of male schools, and we notice as a fact that the trend is now toward do mestic economy in the former with a view of making the alummae better partners in a life team, not necessarily wageworkers. "Nevertheless, the woman who Is born with more brains than necessary for a human cow, must not be starved intellectually. Her higher life is of great importance and Is entitled to con sideration in education—not to be made masculine, but for sheer enjoyment of living. ... To make fine mothers may be a big part of the aim of college life, but it is not all by a long shot; nor should It be, for Sparta tried It, but Spartans in time became noted for stu pidity. and sank into nothingness by the side of more intellectual neighbors, who did not try such absurd eugenics." Wish Less and Work More Herbert Kaufman, In Woman's Woi'Ul. Failure Is only postponed success so long as courage "coaches" ambition. No one wave can batter down the rocks; it’s the ternal pounding away : of the surf—it’s the age-long, relentless snslaught of the sea, that changes the shore line. No one axe-stroke can clear a forest; the woodman who chops and stops l Wastes time and timber. The habit of persistence is the habit I of victory. Continued effort is irre sistible, If you quit at the start you must keep starting anew and you’ll spend more energy in a list of half hearted efforts than is needed to carry one determined enterprise to comple tion. Fortune does not locate, her prizes in time-worn highways. Beaten paths are only for beaten men. They would not be roads if others hadn’t traveled ahead ! of you, and those who went before ! grabbed everything that was worth the owning. This is the price you must pay for a better lot: You must stand stanch be fore hardship and difficulty; You must make mistakes, yet con tinue to believe in yourself: You must stumble, yet rise with un diminislied enthusiasm; You must bruise your patience, yet wear your grin until you win; You must be tired, yet dash on with all the might of you and all tlih hope of you at full tide. But the reward will be in proportion to the straining and paining that yon undergo. The world is lilled with men and women habitually in want because they continually want the best, but shrink from the test. Those who are not brave must slave. Defeat only exists in its acknowledg ment. Struggle is the keynote of progress. To try is to grow. Each attempt adds to strength. The heart and soul and brain must be exercised into firmness and elastic ity and resistance Just as the biceps and sinews. Nobody ever achieved anything ex traordinary except through unswerving tenacity. Idle wishes are unplanted seeds. Ideas must be buried in the soil Qjf oppor tunity and cultivated with patience be fore they will bear results. If Edison had merely desired the In candescent bulb, we would still read by gas light and lamp glow. If the Wrights had only aspired to fly. transportation would still be con fined to the surface of the earth and water. If Westinghouse had simply guessed at the air brake, we would still ride on ftrains limited in speed instead of lim ited trains. If Watts had just considered the steam engine, we would still hew and draw with horse and man power. If Bell had relied upon Providence to ; change his vision of the telephone into a speaking reality, we would still walk acfoss town to ask a question. Every great invention demands a great intention—it calls for undeviating fidelity from the first attempt. You cannot exceed set standards— you cannot better your condition or the condition of your time without making trial and meeting trials. Laziness and cowardice are the only Insuperable obstacles. All normal men and women are equipped with the same outfit of po tential abilities. Every human chest is filled with a standard set of tools, but determination must not be permitted to dull; ambl Ition must not be allowed to rust: cour age must be put to use—you cannot gain an advantage if you do not em ploy your advantages. Method and plan must underlie achievement. Will must guide skill. Knowledge cannot become power until it is utilized as a power.

Hasty Marriages Among Eskimos From the 'Wide World Magazine. In civilization it is said that a wife does not always add to ber husband's case or render his life more support able, but up on Hie Barren-grounds the worst of wives would be better than none. There, among the heathen tribes. If a man's wife dies—provided he be not a polygamist, in which case there is less need for hurry—he often mar ries again within the week, and even the Christian Eskimo widowers are with difficulty persuaded by the Mora vian missionaries to allow six weeks to elapse between the death and re maTidage. Certain it is that on the very’ day after the six weeks have lapsed the hunter presents himself with a new bride, and asks that the marriage service may be speedily read. Nor is the reason for these tilings far to seek. We say in civilization that “a woman's work is never done,” and far more is that true of the help mate of the savage and the semi savage, the woman of the Barren grounds or of the ice-edge. She makes and breaks camp, cooks, outs up and carries to camp her husband's kill: she dresses the skins of deer and seal (a laborious process as the skin often has to be chewed to make It soft for sew ing) : she Is responsible for the fash ioning of foot-gear and clothes: on a journey she often paddles the canoe, and on portage she carries a heavy load. In fact. It Is easier to write down tlie duties not expected of a squaw than those which by immemorial cus tom sbe must perform. Indeed, the Northland is a country calling aloud for a woman's movement, a crusade of emancipation; but sucli will never come, even in a thousand years, for in the wilderness the provider of food, Man the Hunter, has reigned, reigns and. and ever will reign.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES CUTICURA REMEDIES "I wish to let you know of a couple of recent cures which I have made by the use of the Cuticura Remedies. Last August, Mr. - of this city came to my office, troubled with a severe skin eruption. It was dermatitis in its worst form. It started with a slight eruption and would affect most parts of his body, thighs, elbows, chest, back and abdomen—and would terminate in little pustules. The Itch ing and burning was dreadful and he would almost tear his skin apart, try ing to get relief. I recommended all the various treatments I could think of and he spent about fifteen dollars on prescriptions, but nothing seemed to help him. “In the meantime my wife, who was continually suffering with a slight skin trouble and who had been try ing different prescriptions and meth ods with my assistance, told me she was going to get some of the Cuticura Remedies and give them a fair trial. Bnt as I did not know much about Guticura at that time I was doubtful whether it would help her. Her skin would thicken, kredk and bleed, es pecially on the fingers, wrists and arms. I could do nothing to relieve her permanently. Wien she first ap plied the warm baths of Cuticura Soap and applications of Cuticura Ointment she saw a decided improve ment and In a few days she was com pletely cured. "I lost no time in recommending the Cuticura Remedies to Mr. -, and this was two months ago. I told him to wash with warm baths of the Cuticura Soap and to apply the Cuti curu Ointment generously. Believe me, from the very first day’s use of the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly relieved and today he is completely cured through their use. I have great faith in the Cuticura Remedies and shall always have a good word for them now that I am convinced of their wonderful merits.” (Signed) B. L. Whitehead, M.
