World Wide Campaign

ORGANIZED BY HENRY PH!PPS

Philadelphia, Oct 24.-The world
wide educational campaign planned by
the Phipps Institute for the Study,
Treatment and Prevention of Tubercu-
losis is to be formally inaugurated to-
night when the first of series of lee
lures by eminent experts will be de-
livered in Witherspoon hail. The
movement is the most advanced step
ever taken toward the stamping out
of the great white plague"
Henry Phipps, the millionaire steel
manufacturer, will bear the entire
cost of the propaganda. His recent
trip around the world was made with
this plan in view. It is certain that
the expense will far exceed that Of any
similar campaign of education ever
made in this country.
The opening lecture is to be deliv-
cred by DR.. E. l.. Trudeau, of Saranae,
N. Y, who is the pioneer in the treat
ment of consumption in sanatoria in
this country. During the winter many
others of the foremost authorities in
the world upon the treatment of con-
sumption will be heard Among the
great teachers who will come here is
Professor Calmette, of Lille, France,
the disciple and associate of Pasteur,
and the present head Of the great
Roux institute. He is the acknowledg-
ed leader in the treatment of tubercu-
losis through dispensaries. The dis
pensary of the Phipps institute is
modelled upon the Calmette plan.
Professor Maragliano, of Genoa,
Italy, whose laboratory and outdoor
work has revolutionized the treat
ment of the disease for millions T.
sufferers, and Professor Pannwitz, of
Berlin, secretary of the International
Congress of tuberculosis, and of the
Red Cross society Of Germany, are
among the European scientists who
will tell of their methods. With the
eminent ones of Europe will be asso-
ciated the Americans, whose work
and Investigations have materially
checked the spread of consumption in
this country. DR.. William Osler, the
celebrated specialist on tuberculosis,
will come from Johns Hopkins univer-
sity for the December lecture Dr.
Herman Biggs, bacteriologist of New
York city's health department, will
give an address in February.
Physicians in all parts of the world
are awaiting with eagerness the re-
suit of this remarkable series. Medi-
cal journals, commenting upon the
plan, say that it is the beginning of
an effort that will make consumption
as infrequent as the black plague,
which once ravaged the world.

A Dogs Fidelity.

In the upper part of the famous Sc
quatchie valley, in east Tennessee,
man and his wife settled when the
country was new and wild. One of the
first crops that they raised was a con-
siderable field of cotton. When it was
ready to be picked, they went out to-
gether, prepared to make holiday out
of this pleasant labor. Their one baby
was left in cradle at the edge of the
field, and the faithful old dog was
instructed to watch the tiny sleeper
After considerable time they looked
toward the cradle to see if all was well
there. They were startled by the dis
covery that the little couch had been
turned completely over. The dog was
making queer dives underneath and
yelping as If in anger. AS they hasten
ed to the place they were Mortified to
find the animals jaws covered with
blood and instantly came to the con-
clusion that he had been rending the
child with his teeth.
The angry father hit the animal a
deathblow with a cudgel and then
hastily turned the cradle right side up.
There was the baby all unharmed, and
there in the bedding was an enormous
rattlesnake, killed by the faithful dog
after a fierce fight, in which both COM
batants had received many wounds

"Why, there was nothing in the boat
to loosen it."
Harkness felt the corners of his
mouth suddenly give way even while
his temper rose. He looked off to the
right for long minute and then asked
severely:
"Was there anything at the Point to
loosen it?"
Leda's mouth flew open in undis-
guised fright.
"Who told you we were to the
PointY

She began to cry.
81 never will again, truly"
"How could you behave so?' said the
lover, launching himself suddenly into
the full tide of his righteous wrath
"You put me beyond all patience; go
ing off like that with Wrycroft, when
you know perfectly well that you be-
long to some one else, and then actually
letting him.
Leda seized his arm
"Only once" she protested earnestly,
"only once"
"Once is once too often," said Hark-
ness, a great and exceeding bitterness
yelling up in his tone. "Once is great,
great many times too often, consider
ing the situation. Now, Leda, listen to
me-" he continued sternly. Either
promise me that you will never, never
again do anything in the slightest de-
gree questionable or we'll call it all off,
and you can give me back the comb
that you still have"
ooh, I'll promisep' said Leda, with a
submissive choke. "I'll never, never do
SO again. Truly, truly. Upon my word
and honor"
Harkness looked to the right and
left and behind. Then he leaned down
and kissed her.
Leda smiled happily, almost forget
ting the side comb.
"She's a dear little GIRL" said her
lover, and, taking all the driving appa-
ratus into his right hand, he thrust the
left into his breast pocket and drew
forth the missing comb.
Leda screamed.
"Oh, where did you find it?''
IL didn't find it anywhere" he said
