(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.

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."

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.

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.
