three companies paying over $3.50, 900

but the examined really pays the

made to cost less and yet be safe.

CONSUMPTION has been added to the
list of diseases whose prevention is
urged on the public in the admirable
and instructive pamphlets issued by the
Michigan Board of Health. Diptheria,
scarlet fever, measles, and smallpox
are among the diseases already covered
in the phamplets, which do an excellent
work. Nearly everyone knows that
these are contagious diseases. Few
are aware how to avoid them. How
many intelligent persons, for instance,
know that measles cause more deaths
than smallpox, and that the age at
which most deaths occur from measles
is that between and 2 years. This is
the age of greatest danger, and all
should take especial care to guard chill
dren at that age.

Driving Germans out OF Russia.

VIENNA, Nov. i6.-Accounts from the
interior of Russia say that general ex-
odus is beginning of Germans, no for
century past have had leading share
in the development of the industrial
welfare of that country. There is reason
to believe that the Russian government,
anticipating war with Germany sooner
or later, has determined to rid itself of
those who by their naural sympathies
would be inclined to the German side.
The Germans are not harassed in the
same degree as the Jews, but are made
to feel certain disabilities that have
been in allegiance, and menacing hints
are thrown out that worse is CO nj lg.
The object seems to be to frighten rather
than to force them away. Their pastors
everywhere are prosecuted, and some
have even been sent to Siberia on tn ,
charge of making proselytes and IF
preaching against the Russian faith
Altogether, the situation of Germans in
Russia is fast becoming intolerablr.
