Th War on Tuberculosis
The economic as well as the hu-
manitarian side of the question was
well considered at the international
tuberculosis congress in Washington
The impressive statements showing
that at the rate prevailing millions of
persons aro destined to die of the dis-
ease were supplemented by figures
bearing upon this aspect of the case
Among those who spoke was Homer
Hoiks of New York state whose long
identification with public charities and
other philanthropic work makes him
a qualified witness In the course of
an address on effective control of tu-
berculosis Mr Folks said: “The cost
of tuberculosis to the people of the
state of New York is variously esti-
mated at from $15000000 to $75000-
000 a year The prevention of tuber-
culosis as an economic and educa-
tional problem is an entirely feasible
and workable program In fact it is
much less difficult and much less ex-
pensive than many other movements
which have been successfully carried
out” The economic loss mentioned is
in the shape of producing capacity
sacrificed through the iaages of the
ailment Laying aside ail other con-
siderations says the Troy (N Y)
Times here is great waste that can be
prevented and the recent impetus
given to the work of checking tubercu-
losis means not only the saving of
many lives with consequent happiness
fn a corresponding number of homes
but a decided Increase in the material
wealth of tiie community
Chimes may come unu games may
go but dies bids fair never to lose its
popularity Now lu re else is it uni-
versally popular as it is in the village
cf Strobeek near I lalborstadt in
Prussian Saxony Some time iu the
eleventh century Count Gtinnelln held
h prisoner in n atone tower in the vil-
lage amused himself carving a set of
chessmen and teaching the game to
his jailors The tower which still
stands is known as the chess tower
The jailers taught the game to their
friends who were so phased with It
that they devoted all their spare time
to practice This delight iu chess con-
tinues ot the present in Strobeek
Kvery emin plays The village hotel
Is called the Chess Inn tournaments
are held ovf rv year arid prizes are
gie to the best players If a young
man cues to an adjoining village for
a wilt v lo (annol pln chess he must
j :iv a tine to be used toward the ex-
1 oust s of the ni xt lout naniont This
iub’lo ordinance has spread a knowl-
edge of the game among the young
ladies ot all the summnding villages
Stioheek has not vet produced a pro-
t ssior:iiI chess player of the first rank
lnit pi rhaps there ma lie one for the
futuie among the young players now
taking part in (ho annual tournament
The ripmt in the London Times of
ihe oj cuing of the railroad from Da-
TiiiM'iis to Medina is of unusual inter
esl as it was the find telegram over

News comes from Holland that a pe-
tdion is in circulation for tire estab-
lishment of a chair of the Dutch lan-
guage in the rniveraity of Chicago
Tho Holland mentioned Is one of 24 In
Ihe Cnited States — in Michigan where
there is a large Dutch population
Tho older generation would like their
sons and daughters to understand
their mother tongue a proper and
laudable desire
The dictionary is never allowed a

A New York boy was arrested for
stealing disease germs He took them
from the laboratory of a scientist Do
oot think for a moment that he was
pinched for contracting the measles
from Johnny Jones across the way
Stealing disease germB in the latter
aray has never been treated as a
crime
Cities that never clean up until the
ipecter of cholera stalks down their
flirty streets generally find their fren-
sled efforts too late

Mount Vernon 111 has a “blackbird

Instead of discussing the pronuncia-

well not to speak of it

Man Must Think to Live
The decay of any real power of
thinking is an adequate explanation of
a deal of the early mortality of pros-
perous middle life The business man
of 40 is often content to live in the
mere practice as a matter of habit
of what ho has acquired He eats

With her blue apron full of corn
And with a friendly clucking sound
She throws it on the frosty ground

Are soft with Indian summer haze
And Jack the chore boy feeds the stock
While chips fly at the chopping block'

To see me wax so fat — he knows
How Aunt Jane loves me 1 suppose

And then ahe eauaht ua one by one
And petted us and ere 'twus done
She felt my body my plump aide
Till I could source contain my pride
Old Gobbler sat neglected quite
So thin ho was a sorry Bight
And ahe passed him by nor did atop
To atroke his able or feel hla crop '
Again he sought to apeak with me
Again I scorned him haughtily
And he brushed something from hla eye
A tear I think aa I passed by

And watched me aa a liutwry lynx
It must have been a d renin and then
I closed my eyes In sleep again
Tlx morning now here comes Aunt Jann

YEARNING OF THE SOUL

Through every grass-blade In the
many thousand grasses through the
million leaves veined end edgecut on
bush and tree through the song
notes and the marked feathers of the
bird through the Insect's bum and the
color of the butterfly through the eoft
warm air and the flecks of clouds dis-
solving — I used them all for prayer
with all the energy the sunbeams had
poured unwearied on the earth since
Sesostris was conscious of them on the
ancient sands with all the life that
had been lived by vigorous man and I
beauteous woman since first In dearest
Greece the dream of the gods was
woven with all the soul-life that had
flowed a long stream down to me — I
prayed that I might have a soul more
than equal to far beyond my concep-
tion of those things of the past the
present and the fullness of all life
not only equal to these but beyond
higher and more powerful than I
could Imagine that I might take from
all their energy grandeur and beauty
and gather It unto me that my soul
might be more than the cosmos of life
