LESSON OF A LrFE.

S3rd birthday was celebrated this week.
Like Helen Keller. Miss Crosby has
demonstrated that blindness is not an
insurmountable barrier to success.
Wherever Christian hymns are sung,
the name of Fannie" Crosby is known
and honored. Protestant churches

Crosby has been blind since she was SIX
weeks old, when she lost her eyesight
through fever.
She was born on March "A. 1920, and
in an interview on her birthday she
laughingly said that many. persons had
thought this was her eighty fourth
birthday instead of her eighty-third.
You know, no woman likes to be
called older than her age and so please
say that I'm only eighty-three today, not
eighty-four." and she laughed as gayly
as girl. for despite her amiction and

Miss Crosby was born in Putnam
county, N. Y, and was educated at the
New York Institute for the Blind, and
then became a teacher there. It was
while she was a teacher that she met
Henry Clay. She was selected to well
come him with a poem.
Her home is In Bridgeport. Conn,
where she lives with her sister. Mrs.
Caroline Rider. She is visiting at the
home of Ira D. Sankey, the evangelist
in Brooklyn. In 1858 she was married
to Alexander Van Alstyne a blind musi-
clan, but has always been known as
Fannie Crosby. Her husband is dead
What an example the life of Fannie
Crosby holds for the men and women
of the world. By her energy and tai
ents she has made her life a success
when nature had blocked her path in
the most effective manner possible. At
eighty-three the blind song writer is not
ready to give up. If life Is so sweet to
her why should any one endowed with
all of natures gifts despair?

THE WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS.


The prevalence of tuberculosis and
the apparent helplessness Of medical
men to cope with the disease is fur
nishing a wide field for research The
Baltimore American in discussing this
dread disease insists upon the ISOLATION
of tuberculosis patients.
Advances made in the study of the
disease within the past few years have
greatly narrowed the lines Of battle
against tuberculosis. 1t is now recog-
nized by physicians that the disease is
infectious. Isolation of the infected per
sons from the rest of the population
must be the first step for the stamping
out of the disease This will prevent its
spread. for it has been pretty clearly
established that tuberculosis is not
hereditary. but is communicated from.
one member of a family to another by
personal contact. With the well-to-do
or the wealthy. isolation is not a very
important problem. 1t may be accom-
plished readily by sending the patient
to a locality where he or she has
plenty Of pure dry air. wholesome food
and reasonable amount of exercise.
With the poor. the case is different. II
they are to be taken from their tainted
surroundings and are to cease to be-
come a menace to the health of them
families. and finally to the public IN
general. they must be furnished by tbs
state a place Of isolation.
It has been suggested that forest re
serves be utilized to give tuberculosis
patients the necessary open-air treat
ment. This would be measure Of Sc
curity to persons who are free from the
disease. and would be an advantage to
the afflicted. If they are capable OF
cure, it is in such surroundings that
the cure must come. But this solution
Of the difficulty in dealing with con.
sumDtives is a considerable distance
away. In the meantime. the afflicted
themselves and their families and
friends should be instructed in the
proper methods of reducing the spread
Of infection to minimum. Caution in
the lives of the afflicted and thoss
about them win do much to palliate the
trouble. At the same time, decentrall-
cation of the population should be en-

There are many things involved in the
question of city ownership Of the
waterworks plant. but the one most
prominently before the public just now
is the new rate schedule which the
water company proposes to introduce IN
case the city ownership plan is defeat
ed at the coming election
It is well that people should under
stand exactly what they have to ex-
pect provided city ownership fails to
carry.
The water company's proposals may
be divided into two parts. % the pro-
posed new rates; % the proposed
changes in the franchise.
l. The proposed new rates. When
President Charles r. Street of the
water comapny was In Topeka discuss
ing the new schedule with the city
council. IL said: I'VE are willing to
adopt therates made in the ordinance of
1897. with A very few unimportant ex-
ceptions about which I am sure there
will be no trouble agreeing" It is true
that there are only a few exceptions,
but those exceptions are decidedly i'm
portant. as it now appears.
The company refuses to meet the
ordinance rates on just the items where
some Of the company's heaviest bust
ness originates. The average citizen
who contributes more to the water
company than anyone else. Is sighted
by the new rate schedule. The most
marked instance of this kind is on the
meter rate, which for the average con
sumer is reduced only one-half a cent
on each 100 gallons instead of one cent
as required in the ordinance Here are
also a few other items wherein the COM
pany has failed to meet the rate set
forth in the 1897 rate ordinance:

The idea expressed has been that the
cabinet officer must be a politician. 1t
never seems to occur to the critics that
such official is once in a while a states

than to be perpetuaHy talking about
politics as II the country needed only

The endeavor to get things away from
