Thousands of men are afraid of the Light
ming, and yet not one man IN ten thousand
is ever killed by It. Few men are afraid
of consumption and yet it causes one-slxth
of all the deaths in the world. 1t is more
deadly than either wars or pestilences.
Any sort of wasting disease may lead to
consumption. Any slight disorder of the
respiratory organs may easily develop
it. Weakness of the body, emaciatiou.
lack of vitality are plain invitations for the
germs of consumption. Consumption Is not
entirely disease of the lungs. 1t is dis
ease of the blood that shows itself most
strongly in the lungs. 1t is not-as it used
to be considered-incurable. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery has changed all
that 1t will cure ninety eight per cent of

COLLECTING BADGE BUTTONS.
Latest Popular Craze Started by the Man
ufacturers of Bicycles.

People are collecting badge buttons
nowadays, and there are already collec-
tions that number hundreds. The poll
tician gathers in the emblem of party
strife or victories, the bicyclist exchanges
club buttons with brother bicyclist, the
business man Keeps a collection to see
what bis rivals are doing, the small boy
TO see how many badge buttons he can
secure, and the new woman follows suit
because every one else Is doing IL. The
craze threatens TO become even more
popular than the button strings made by
chllcren 80 years ago.
The bicyclists started the fad. Every
person who buys a bicycle feels himself
bound, while the new sense of ownership
Is strong, 10 wear button badge that
proclaims the superiority of his particular
wheel Up 10 the last Madison Square
cycle show the manufacturers OF wheels
had tried without attaining great success
to make the badge button popular. with
secret organizations and bicycle clubs 1t
had become popular, but with the general
public there was apathy. At this show
the few manufacturers who gave away
badge buttons as souvenirs at the start
were found by their rivals to be attract
Ing so much attention that before the
show was over everybody was Offering
buttons TO visitors, and hundreds of thou
sends were given away. Men, women
and children came forth decked with
mum bers of the little disks That started
the craze. To get more than ones neigh
bor was the universal desire, and from
bicycling buttons the rage has spread
until every kind of button Is eagerly
sought. For long time manufacturers
of badge buttons tried to make adver-
tisers see their value, but they met with
no encouragement until the bicycle dealers
took the idea up. Then the badge button
leaped into the swim.
The politicians early saw the value OF
badge buttons, and the number used for
political booming is enormous. One of
the leading firms turns out over 500 600
buttons each week, and is behind in it's
orders. AT present the great demand IL
for political buttons. Whatever the char
acter of the button, the collectors are
diligently harvesting the supply as fast as
It appears. The demands made by button
collectors upon one firm manufacturing
badge buttons have become so great that
IT has prepared a circular enumerating
1S4 different varieties OF bicycle buttons,
which it sells at 8 cents each. The same
Arm Is getting out other lists for general
collectors, embracing other buttons be-
sides the bicycle badges 1t is not out
of the ordinary run for this firm TO re-
ceive by mail checks ranging from $40 to
$50 for badge buttons, every one OF differ
ent design.
The -circus Is the lptest employer of
this form OF advertising, and the provin-
cial towns are to be well decorated with
the novelty. The craze has spread to Can
ada. The political situation there has
seen the advent of the badge button, and
on May "a, the Queens birthday, a vast
number OF buttons are to be sent forth
showing the portrait Of the Queen on a
white ground.

SIR JOHN MILLAIS DOOMED.
The President Of the Royal Academy
Suffering From Cancer.


The disease which has for some time
past affected Sir John Millais, the presi-
dent OF the Royal Academy, has been
pronounced by his physicians 20 be can
Ger of the throat, and they say that his
condition is hopleess. The annual dinner
OF the Royal Academy was this year
abandoned, and after his election Sir
John Millais was unable to makea speech.
II was only the other day, however,
that the real nature of the disease became
known, and it is said that he may live
only for short time, or, on the other
hand, last for year The patient is
aware of his own condition.
On Feb. 20 Sir John Millais was unan-
Imously elected TO III the Presidency of
left vacant by the teath of iord Leighton.
He was born in 1929 at Southampton,
and for many years his family had held a
place among the lesser landlords In the
Island of Jersey. He began to study
ort when be was nine years old In Mr..
6nsss academy, and when he was IL
became pupil OF the Royal Academy,
where he won a first prize in drawing.
He exhibited first at the Academy in
1896 with his Pizarro Seizing the Inca
OF Peru" and this was followed by
"Dunstan's Emissaries Seizing Queen
Elgiva," and a large cartoon exhibited at
the Westminster competition.
While still student Millais had rebelled
against many of the conventional formu-
las OF the academic methods, and, infu-
enced by the spirit OF early Italian art,
he, with Dante Gabriel Rossetti and VIII.
liam Holman Hunt, founded the "Pre-
Raphaeiite Brotherhood which later
included a number o. other well-known
painters and had a powerful effect on Eng
lish art OF the century. Afterward Millais
chung less tenaciously TO the principles OF
this school than other members OF the
guild, who issued In 1850 a periodical
called the Germ, or, Art and Poetry,
which had only short existence. John
kuskin was one effective advocate OF the
new movement, and In 1851 began TO sup

Sir John Millais has OF late wears de-
voted himself largely TO portrait painting.
One OF bis most recent pictures was a
portrait OF Lord Rosepery's daughter In
1924 he exhibited portrait OF "The Right
Hon. W. II. Gladstone and His Grandson. !"

Hare. In 1878 he was decorated with the
ribbon OF the BeiEon OF Honor, and IN
1881 was appointed trustee OF the Ma

Ecaux Arts. In 1886. on the recommenda-
ton of Mr.. Gladstone, he was made
