Based on the census of 1900 , It la potlinntcd by the National Association Cor the Study and Prevention of Tu berculosis that nearly 100,000 children now In school will dlo of tuberculosis before they are 18 yean of ago , or that about 6,400 dlo annually from this disease. Estimating that on an average each child who dies of tuber culosis has had six years of schooling , the aggregate lena to the country In wasted education each year amounts to $1,152,000. Acaordtng to investiga tions made In New York , Boston and .Stockholm , the percentage of children who are afflicted with tuberculosis IB much larger than the death rate would Indicate.

The wrong food and drink causes a lot of trouble In thin world. To change the food Is the first duty of very person that Is 111 , particularly from stomach and nervous troubles. Aa an Illustration : A lady in Mo. has , with her husband , been brought around Co health again by leaving off coffee and come articles of food that did not agree with them. They began us ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She ays : "For a number of years I suffered with stomach nnd bowel trouble .which kept getting worse unutll I was Tory 111 most of the time. About four ( rears ago I loft off coffee and began taking Poatum. My stomach and bowels Improved right along , but I waste to reduced In flesh and so nervous that the least thing would overcome mo. "Thou I changed my food and bo- Kan using Grape-Nuts in addition to Postum. I lived on these two prin cipally for about four months. Day by day I gained In flesh and strength until now the nervous trouble has en tirely disappeared and I feel that I ewe my life and health to Postum and Grapo-Nuts. "Husband Is 73 years old and ho was troubled for a long time with occa sional cramps , and slept badly. Finally E prevailed upon him to leave off coffee and take Postum. He had stood out for a long time , but after he tried Postum for a few days he found thai be could sleep and that his cramps disappeared. He was satisfied and has never gone back to coffee.

Resolutions wore adopted condemn ing the attitude of the traction com pany by which , It wa.s stated , business had boon affected to such un extent that thoiiBands of porsoiiH not directly Interested In the strike had been thrown out of employment. Councils were called upon to Insist that Mayor Iloyburn use hla prerogative as chief executive olllcor of the city nnd im mediately servo notlco on the com pany that it must submit to arbitra tion , ns the police , whom he represents demand that he return the police to their regular posts of duty nnd ceaao using them to man the trolley cars.

Eighteen feet of snow on tlio western slope of the Cas cades nnd eight feet on the eastern slope Is being changed Into water by a warm wind from the south.

That , however , may bo closed at nny time by the turbulent Green river , which is already threaten ing the Northern Pacific tracks. Thus far the financial loss by the flood has been small nnd the discom fort of the evicted dwellers nlong the swollen streams is less than during former overflows. There is no storm in sight nnd continuance of the pres ent mild , cloudy weather , with occa sional showers nnd high temperature in the mountains is predicted.

HAPPE . l JL JlJLJL O. TECS What Comes in a Governor's Daily Mail rVDIANAPOUS.-Lottors of all sorts I arrive dally In the mails nt the gov ornor'fl ofllco , some of them depress ing , some of them mirth-provoking , nnd some of which for pure nerve quite take awny the breath of the chief oxecutlvo , whose experiences before - fore becoming governor , ho Is wont to explain frequently , wcro confined Ingely to the business of a country 'aw ' office. Ono of the "nervy" ones came re cently from Monongnhela , Pa. "Dear sir , " It ran. "I nm a Demo crat and have seen hnrd service both In the pnrty and In the war. Just now I am in pretty hnrd lines and need some money. Plenso send mo $100. You can either let mo have it ns n gift or I will pny It back when I got able. " "Tlmt fellow mny bo hard up. " said the governor , "but ho doesn't know what real financial hardship is. lie ought to try to bo governor of Indi ana in these strenuous high price times on the salary tlio state pays. " The $100 was not sent. Since a Now York syndicate a short tlnio ago published all over the coun try a. feature story about the gov ernor. in the course of which ho said that ho cured a long-drawn-out ail ment ( rheumatism ) ono time with a 60 cent bottle of medicine , the govern or's mall bus contained n lanjo num ber of Inquiries ns to the nnmn of the medicine. Ono from Kentucky runs : "Dear Sir I urn.a . Democrat , llko you are , and have been sick a long time. I think my ailment must be like that you had that you cured with n 50 cent bottle of medicine , and I wish you would let me know the nnmo of It. " Ono from California said thnt the writer hnd no idea what the disease wns thnt was cured , but that if the governor would send him the nnmo the writer would try It on what ailed him. "I have boon n Democrat for 50 years , and have hnd dyspepsia for al- moHt that long , " ran the letter. "Tho writers scorn to think , " said the governor , "thnt what will euro ono Democrat will cure another , and that Democrats arc nllllcted with only ono kind of disease , whatever thnt Is. "What strikes me ns being queer , though , is that among nil the things I was quoted as snylng in thnt inter view , from riding on street cnrs to the protective tariff , the only thing I have heard from directly is that 50 cent bottle of medicine. " After much cajoling , ono of the governor's friends the other day final ly got from him the name of the medi cine nnd took a bottle homo to his wife , who was suffering with rheuma tism. ' Foiled in a Plan to Bunco the Baby 1 } ITTSBURG. When a certain pair Jl of Plttsburg Newtywecls wcro hon ored by the arrival of their first baby they decided to give the Httlo fellow a substantial start in life by establish ing a savings account for him right from the day of his birth. Accordingly a bank was obtained from ono of the local savings insti tutions ; ono of the combination af fairs that can bo opened only by the bank officials. Each day papa and mamma dropped in their spare pen nies and when various doting rela tives of the little chap called at the house their attention was invariably directed to baby's financial operations and they seldom failed to step up to the mantel and contribute to the good cause. After a time the parents began to speculate on how much baby might bo worth , for it was regarded as quite certain that grandpa , being so well off , would not think of dropping In less a dollar each time , and Uncle Jeff , who was known as n great spender , would surely deposit no lesa than a half dollar , and both had been frequent contributors. Th n look at the numerous quarters , dimes and nickels that the many uncles and aunties of Suookums must have dropped in , for none of them ever failed to remember the bank when they called. Must bo anywhere from | 20 to $30 in it , figured the parents. A few days ago Snookums attained his first anniversary and it was de cided to deposit the contents of the little bank in the big one downtown. Now Just at this time mamma chanced to need a new hat and , papa being a bit short , it was decided to borrow some from Snookums till pay day. day."I want tg deposit $10 of' it , " mam ma told the bank teller , as she handed him the nickel-plated treasure box , "Tho balance I will 'take with me , please. " The teller turned the little knob this way and that , then opening the door , poured out the hoard on the window shelf. Then he carefully re pressed a smile , while mamma , after the first gasp , devoted herself to sa\T agely biting her lips while the con tents were counted. There were 347 pennies , four nick els and one dime. I Some Philosophy of a Manicure Girl * \ YORK. The manicure girl hasher N3\V her opinion of life and the people who compose it. Sitting at her neat table , beside a wide window covered with Italian filet , she sizes up New York with a cool , dispassionate eye. "Oh , yes , " she said , in answer to an inquiry , "somo of them get funny. What do I do ? Well , at first I don't see It I act thick , you know and if that doesn't answer I look at 'em a moment BO" with a shriveling eye "and , well , they wilt Why , they're nothing but boys grown up men , I mean and you just use the same naeUiona "Tho women always talk. I don't know what it Is , but the very sight of my outfit and my little glass bowl of warm water and mo , slttln' hero quietly workln * and utterly at their , mercy well they talk. They nearly always come to mo from the shampoo pee room or the massage room , where they can't talk , you see , and 1 sup pose I get what's been bottled up. "And , say do you know what stumps me most of all this year ? No ? Well the furs ! I never saw such furs as this winter. Why , you'd think they grew on trees ! Some women wear three kinds at once. And another thing is the artificial flowers. They all wear 'em nestling among the furs , you couldn't ever tell they weren't real and , say they're scented. They even smell real. "Tips ? Well , we don't call them tips. You see , we aren't waiters. Oh , yes. We take 'em , of course when we get 'em. The men always do ; the women almost never do. I suppose they think their entertaining talk takes the place of coin. "It's a big town , this , ain't it and it's a hard town. Oh , yes , I suppose there are some good people here Oh , yes , I'm ono to look on the bright side but , say the women get the worst of it , don't they oven In this free country.

Jordan ST dan , pastor of the fashionable First Congregational church and bridegroom son-in-law of William II. Dlxby , has been studying the biography of the devil , from Typnon of Egypt and Ah- rlman of Persia down to the witches of Salem , and lias come to the conclu sion that his satanlc majesty , under all of his aliases , is more or less of a myth. Dr. Jordan made this confession at n Now Year "experience mooting" at tended by about a dozen ministers of his denomination. Each pastor named the most interesting book ho had read during the last year or related his xnost Important experience. The young pastor , who recently re turned from his honeymoon , excited the merriment of his brethren when ho announced with all gravity that the most instructive book he had read during 1909 was , by odds , "Tho His tory of the Devil. " by Dr. Paul Carus. "This book taught me , " persisted Dr. Jordan , seriously , "that there are not two principles in the world a good and an evil one. There is only ono , which is good. "Dr. Carus treat of the dual worship which has obtained In almost all of the religions of the world , from the garden of Eden to the present day. Theology has had two phases , a wor ship of God nnd rites to deprecate the malice of the evil ono. "Devil worship is a relic of past ages. Ministers are no longer preach ing of hell fire and damnation , but of the blessedness of life. Wo do not put stress on evil as wo used to , but emphasize the good. Our theology Is no longer negative , but positive. Wo take the view that the world is get ting bettor. " ONLY NECESSARY TO TREAT STOMACH , SAYS COOPER The new theory advanced by L. T. Cooper relullvu to the human stomach has attracted such widespread atten tion that the public in cities visited by the young man has been joined by many physicians In a discussion of his beliefs nnd medicines. Mr. Cooper says human health is dependent almost entirely upon the stomach. lie says that no disease can bo conquered without first alleviating all stomach disorders. Ho further says tin' , most men and women of this generation - oration arc half-sick owing to degen erate stomachs. And lastly , he claims that his New Discovery medicine will rejuvenate the human stomach In 90 days. Cooper has been traveling from ono city to another , conducting In each what bo calls a campaign of educa tion. For the past year ho has met the public in the larger cities of the country , and his success has been phenomenal. Thousands of people have flocked to his headquarters wherever ho has gone , and the sale of his medi cine has been beyond anything of the kind ever before witnessed. Possibly the most Interesting fea ture of the attention this young man has attracted is what his army of followers , whom he has converted to his beliefs through his medicines , have to say on the subject. The following statements are from two well-known residents of Chicago and Boston , re spectively , and the enthusiasm of these is characteristic of Cooper's ad mirers generally. Mrs. IL B. Mack , of 3201 State street , Chicago , says : "I have been suffering for 12 years from a combina tion of stomach , trouble , catarrh and constipation. I'had a gnawing pain in the pit of my stomach , a sort of a dull pain that I could not quite under stand. Then there was a dull head ache , and my mind seemed to be wan dering continually. I could not cat , and what little solid food I did cat I could not retain on my stomach. I tried every remedy I could think of , and also tried out a number of patent medicines , but without any apparent result. It was through one of my friends that I heard of Cooper's prep aration , and I immediately decided to try some of it It is two weeks since I took my first dose of it , and I feel like a now woman. The headache seems , to have disappeared , and the pain in my stomach , along with it The medicine is worth its weight In gold , and I want to thank Mr. Cooper for what he has done for me. " Mr. Edwin P. Morse , of 20 Oakley street , Dorchester , a suburb oi Boston , says : "For three yoais I had not a we'll day. My stomach was In fright ful shape ; the inero thought of food would nauseate me , and I really had a horror of anything to cat All solid food would cause mo extreme indiges tion , bloating and gas on my stomach , and nothing tasted right. Some time ago I got some of this Cooper's medi cine , about which there Is so much talk. I actually feel as well and strong as n boy ever since the first bottle. Every sign of stomach trouble has dis appeared , and I have a hearty appe tite nnd eat three square meals ; every thing seems to taste good. Anyone who knows what chronic indigestion is can appreciate what this means to me. I consider this the most remark able medicine I ever heard of. " Cooper's Now Discovery is sold by all druggists.

Therefore it is that Dr. Picrce's medicines , the makers of which print every ingredient entering into them upon the bottle- wrappers and attest its correctness under oath , are daily growing in favor. No SECRETS. No DIICBPTION. The composition of Dr. Plercc's medi cines is open to everybody , Dr. Pierce being desirous of bavins the search light of Investigation turned fully upon his formula : , being confident that the better the composition ol these medicines is known the more will their great curative merits bo recognized. Being wholly made of the active medicinal principles extracted from native ? ' forest roots , by exact processes original with Dr. Pierce , and without the user of a drop of alcohol , triple-refined and chemically pure glycerine being used in stead in extracting and preserving the curative virtues residing in the root * employed , these medicines are entirely free from the objection of doing ham by creating an appetite for either alcoholic beverages or habit-forming dnigt. Examine the formula on their bottle-wrappers the same as morn to by Dr. Pierce , and you will find that his "Golden Medical Discovery , " the great blood-purifier , stomach tonio and bowel regulator the medicine which , while not recommended to cure consumption in its advanced stages ( no medicine will do that ) yet does curt all those catarrhal conditions of head nnd throat , weak etomach , torpid liver and bronchial troubles , weak lungs and bang-on-coughs , which , if neglected or badly treated lead up to and finally terminate in con sumption. , Take the "Golden Nfedicat Discovery" { n time and it is not likely to dis appoint you if only you give it n thorough nod fair trial. Don't expect miracles. It won't do supernatural things. You must exercise your patience and per severe in its use for a reasonable length of time to get its full benefits. The ingredients of which Dr. Picrce's medicines are composed have the unqualified endorsement of scores of medical leaders better than any amount of lay , of non-professional , testimonials although the latter are received by thousands.
