that the glasses come in contact with

Not many years ago the victim Of
consumption was urged in many cases
by physicians to stimulate freely.
Some cures were said to have resulted
from the liberal use of whisky. Now
alcoholism is recognized as one of the
chief causes of increased mortality in
consumption and declarations to that
effect at the recent tuberculosis con-
gress in Great Britain excited no con-
troversy. The temptation to use slim
ulants in wasting diseases is very
great, but it may be doubted if whisky
ever permanently benefited any rea!
sufferer from consumption.

Uncle Sam is rich enough still to
give us all a farm. Those who failed to
draw anything in the Oklahoma field
will be able to have wide range OF
choice of government lands elsewhere.
Most of the western states have large
stretches of excellent land that is still
unoceupied. The land hunger which is
talked about occasionally can easily
be appeased by the hundreds of mil
lions of acres which are still availa BILE,
but apparently all the homeseekers
are not aware that so much good soil
can still be had for a nominal price

that their undertaking is hopeless and
