Because of the striking resemblance in
many respects to heavy destructive snow
storm, CONSUMPTION has been aptly
called 'The GREAT WHITE PLAGUE"
1t may be said, also, of CONSUMPTION
that as rule it comes on so gently and
softly that its step-its earliest symptoms
is rarely heard. Indeed, its first presence
or near approach is seldom suspected.
There is perhaps a slight cough, but little
attention is paid to it. "Oh, it'll soon pass
off," says the victim eft doesn't amount to
anything" But it perhaps does amount 70
great deal. 1t may be the first danger
signal that has been sounded. There has
also been more or less wasting away" a
gradual loss of flesh and strength, that per-
haps has attracted little or no attention.
As the disease progresses there may be
slight raising of blood from the throat or
chest, or there may be a more or less per-
sstent tickling in the throat, or there may
be shortness of breath with or without
pain in the chest; or there may be an in
creased tendency to take cold" with
correspondingly diminished power to throw
it off.
Or again, the slow, quiet beginning may be
indicated by gradually increasing pallor
or loss of color in the face, excepting. per-
.haps, a small bright red spot on each cheek,
and in the female by dirninution or cessa-
ton of the menstrual discharge
All of these conditions, especially when
they show themselves prior to or during

these symptoms are necessarily present in
any one case, but some of them are, and

greatly lessened, but that it can be cured

Kansas City World.
What is it going to cost to visit the the
Paris exposition in 1902 The steamship
agencies think there win be little, if any,
reduction in the usual passage money. Spec
ulators, however, just as occurred when the
rush to Alaska took place a year ago, will
charter special steamers, and they may cut
into the charges of the big lines The trip
from Kansas City TO Paris and back will be
possible at a very cheap figure
The big tourist agencies will probably of
fer a rate for specially conducted parties
which will enable the people of Missouri to
spend two weeks in the capital Of France
for 500. This sum means round-trip tickets
between here and New York second ca hin
eight-day steamers running to France, the
round trip from the port of debarkation to
Paris, and two weeks charges at a hotel
in the gayest city in the world
With $50 more as pocket money the tourist
ought to have a good time in Paris Up to
date this is the very cheapest trip that is
this tour contemplates the arrival of the
traveller at a French port. At present only
enc transatlantic line runs directly to
France, although some of the steamers
touch at French ports. During the exposi-
ton season the big liners will run steamers
directly to France They will go from New
York to Havre, Cherbourg.. Boulogne-stlr-
Mer. and perhaps other seaports. All the
lines, English German, Norwegian. Scotch
and French are making arrangements to
run directly to France, as the rush TO Paris
Is expected to be even greater than that to
Chicago. The vessels that run to Southamp-
ton need not go to France direct. The trav-
eler can change at this point on the south of
England to the regular channel steamers,
and so be sent on to Paris.
II the tourist wishes to go alone, or with
a friend he need not rely on the agencies.
At present he can secure passage between
New York and Liverpool Southampton, Lon
don, Rotterdam, Bremen or Havre, going
second cabin for between $50 and $40 round
trip. The railroad fare between Kansas
City and New York would be $50 more for
the round trip. Between Rotterdam or Bre-
men and Paris the round trip would be
about S. From Havre TO Paris it would
be So. Is. From Liverpool London or Glas-
gov il would be between $40 and $50 the
smallest fare beine from London and the
other from Scotland. Going directly &c
Havre the trip would cost about $50 from
PHtsburg for fares alone. Travelling this
way the tourist would have to make his
own lodging arrangements when he got tc
the French capital
Second cabin accommodations on all OF
the lines are good. The traveller gets four
meals day and shares q stateroom with
three other people. Two married couples
are usually given a stateroom betweer
