the arrested cafe keeper had bribei
the steward OF steamer sailing to

their plans and decided To attack
him In Palestine.

Great things are as rule. easier

easier to resist great temptation than
a little one. II 1t is temptation 10 do
a great wrong, the very magnitude of
the evil causes the tempted one TO start
back, and refuse It's performance. But
II it is only slight evil, the tempta-
ton is stronger, and the power of re-
sistancc seems less. Rarely does one
do great wrong Until his conscience
has been hardened by n repetition of
lesser wrong acts. 1t Is much the same
In brave efforts at doing and enduring
In the right path. 1t Ia well-known
fact that many man who has marched
boldly to the cannon's mouth or moved
forward steadily under musketry fire
shrinks from the lancet's scratch in n

call forth his real powers of endurance
It is often the case that man VIII fail
In an effort to leave of quarter of his

will succeed in the endeavor to abstain

A crusade against consumption

ticlng 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 sanatorla chiefly by
means OF an abundance OF fresh air.
The leaders do not lose sight of the
fact that prevention Is to he priced
above cure. and their crusade contem-
plates n 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 consumptiye.
but what keeps the maIady alive
among US is poverty and distress, dirt
and oyercrowding. darkness and lack
OF air. The cure OF consumption may
be attained by fresh air in the open.
