successful results OF the open air treat
ment Of consumption In Germany. This

cases the patients had been sick for
less than a year before applying for
admission TO the institutions. The ay.
erage duration OF treatment was e2 4
days for each patient. Data as TO the
hnal results show that Of each hundred
patients treated ST. per cent were dis
charged as cured or improved, SIS per
cent left unImproved, 81 per cent were
worse. and one-half Of / per cent died.

BERNARD FOR HANNA.

The Washington correspondent to
the Raleigh Post says that Claude Ber-
nard is tie first Tar Heel Republican
to declare for Mark Hanna for Presi
dent. Hero is the way tits told:
"C'aude Bernard has seen Mark
Hanna. Having received tlC Icy nit
from President Roosevelt, CH.u III is
preparing to take co nm odious quarters
with the man who will contest with
the chief executive for the RI bl can
nomination for the presidency. WHAT
Bernard said to Hanna and what Han
ma told Bernard would make interest
ing reading no doubt, but Claudlus
does not seem to be impressed with the
oft-told story that Hanna is not can
didate for the Presidential nomination,
which creates smile among polltl-
clans every time it Is repeated. Ber-
nard has gotten in on the ground floor
with the Hanna boom and he is the
first Tar Heel Republican to openly
declare himself for the Ohio man.
Nearly all the Republicans here fromthe
State are for Hanna, but inasmuch as
they are receiving sustenance from the
administration it would be manifest!y
for them to say so openly"
