II any one thinks to play a prank on
the members Of the w. a. N Club and
have the RETURN prank go by default
the chances are that "sadder and
wiser Will be the verdict of that one.
Therefore the condition that exists.
when the members take to Joking
among themselves, is one which Is
bound to bring forth many interesting
affairs. There are a. few of the club
who are inveterate jOkers and an at
tempt was made Monday evening to
even up old scores, but instead of that
the list has grown. for the ones plotted
against finally came out one ahead. A
meeting with the usual good supper
WAS to be held and tho few who were
to be the victims OF the scheme were
hidden to the home Of member who
lives in the southeast part of the city.
Left alone in the parlor, the girls at
length became restless and anxious for
the supper. On entering the dining
room no spread and no hostess We're to
be seen and it was learned that the
meeting there was a hoax, the real
scene of festivities being somewhere
else. Some time later the young
ladies discovered where that place was,
but sdisdaining to attend. they purloined
the horse and carriage which one mem
Der had tied in the alley and sped away.
Then the fun for one faction began.
The other hunted that horse and car
rage until the clock was striking for
midnight. when in all humbleness they
sought the leader Of the opposition and
begged to know the whereabouts OF
the steed. The answer was finally given
With the Injunction to try no more
jokes. That time Will scarcely come,
however. as plots are already being laid
to let the merry war go on.

A cure for consumption has at last been
discovered
And the treatment which accomplishes
II win revolutionize medical practice
throughout the civilized world
BY the aid of powerful microscopes DR..
Slocum, of New York, located the deadly
bacillus. and by culture was able, after
long experiments, to definitely solve the
mystery of germ growth.
Consumption depends for existence upon
living microbes or bacilli in the lungs. XIII
them and the lungs will sometimes heal
themselves. But nature seldom performs
this duty with the result that the raw
ages of consumption have caused moro
deaths than any other three diseases COM
bined. Even the black plague OF China
and India, which has swept away mil
lions, Is not to be compared to consump-
toms death harvest.
The Dr. Slocum System OF Treatment
cures consumption by killing the short
curved or rod shaped organism known as
bacillus. The lung cavities are then
vitalized and the tissues healed. The
treatment also extends TO the mucous sur
faces Of the lungs and throat the general
system IL toned up and healthy flesh built
Future attacks are thus rendered prac-
tically impossible.
The consumptive bacillus is the greatest
menace to life Of any evil known since
man was created II feeds and thrives on
weak lungs; it's presence is a constant men,
