A crusade against consumption
has been inaugurated by physicians
throughout the world, the object OF
which is to diminish the ravages OF
tuberculosis by preaching and prac-
ticing the doctrine Of pure air. The
"plan of campaign" varies somewhat
in different places, but in. general 1t
concerns itself with the treatment of
the disease in sanatoria chiefly by
means of an abundance of fresh air.
The leaders do not lose sight Of the
fact that prevention is to be priced
above cure, and their crusade contem-
plates a propaganda in the press and
by public lectures against dirt and
foul air in the homes. AS one writer
says: ANY one when in low state
OF health may become consumptive,
but what keeps the malady alive
among us is poverty and distress, dirt
and overcrowding, darkness and lack
of air. The cure of consumption may
be attained by fresh air in the open,
but its prevention is pure air in the
house."

Great things are, as rule, easier
done than little things. 1t is often
easier to resist great temptation than
a little one. If 1t is temptation to do
a great wrong, the very magnitude Of
the evil causes the tempted one to start
back, and refuse it's performance. But
If it is only slight evil, the tempta-
ton is stronger and the power of re-
sistance seems less. Rarely does one
do a great wrong until his conscience
has been hardened by a repetition Of
lesser wrong acts. 1t is much the same
in brave efforts at doing and enduring
in the right path. 1t Is well-known
fact that many man who has marched
boldly to the lannon's mouth or moved
forward steadily under musketry fire,
shrinks from the lancet's scratch in a
new vaccination. The great peril sum-
mons all his strength and courage,
while the little hurt is not enough to
call forth his real powers of endurance.
It is often the case that man will fail
in an effort to leave off quarter of his
daily supply of liquor or tobacco, but
will succeed in the endeavor to abstain
entirely from drinking or smoking. 1t
is well to have this great truth in mind,
and to act on 1t in practical matters.
Undertake great things for God and
your fellows. You may succeed in them
because they are great. Look out for
the little temptations to 90 astray
Their power is often increased by their
smallness.

From the Ottumwa, Iowa, Democratic
Judge Grosscup of Chicago, with all Of
his top-loftical flights of oratory, was
consistent in his demand that after
swallowing the Philippines our next
movement should be in the direction
of China and secure slice Of that
territory. This is but the legitimate
outcome of the spread-eagle policy;
there is no end to it. In order to
round our possessions in the archi-
pelago we must have part of China;
in the language of the grasping old
farmer: 1--WE want everything that
tines us!"

Issuing paper money does not add
ANYTHING to the wealth of the country.
ANY thinker can see that. But 1t often
happens that the increased facility for
exchange, which such an issue affords.
causes production to be so increased
that the country really gains more
than the amount Of the money issued,
and it seems as If the money had really
been an addition to the wealth of the
nations. But he who would understand
economies must keep in mind the fact
that labor alone creates wealth. New

When Sampson and his fleet tooK up

was never suspended, and when Ger
vera made his appearance the men
were instantly at quarters, showing
that the watchfulness was never re-
Taxed. Yet they did not die. The
mortality in the ships was no more

Dewey in the seas about the Philip

CURRENT COMMENT

The available cash balance in the
United States treasury is close to $780,
10000. Can anybody give a plausible
reason why even $50.0Oo,0e0 should be
held idle in the treasury? The only
reason that suggests itself is that 1t
is a good thing for the money-chang-
ers.
