bronchial and catarrhal troubles to eX-
tend down into and fasten themselves
upon the breathing apparatus
That consumption is the most terrible
and deadly OF all diseases is proven by
the fact that the deaths each year from
this awful scourge are greater than from
ali other contagious diseases combined
AT the first sign or indication of trou-
bic, the sufferer should Immediately seek
the best medical advice he can find. in
stead Of wasting precious time with
stomach nostrums which never cured a
single case of genuine consumption. but
which weaken the patients constitution
at the very time when he most needs all
his bodily functions in their best work
ing order.
The only sure way ever discovered to
eradicate the consumption poison is by
the inhalation of the healing. oily va
pors OF the Koch "Tuberculine,' medi-
Gated with germicidal and curative oils.
These wonderful vapors penetrate to tho
very seat OF the disease, killing the
germs and permanently curing consump-
ton, asthma and all lung diseases. Hun
dreds of people all over the land have
been cured by the Koch treatment and
are today living monuments of its sue
cess.

Treatment Is at 100 Eleventh Street

tion and trial treatment are given abso-
lutely free. Home Treatment, If desired,

No More Hand-to-Hand Fighting.

Long-range fighting is the vogue now
adays, and, while it is expensive, it is
huvane, because few lives are lost.
Guns that carry two or three miles are
not uncommon on battlefields, and the
fight is more a fight between the guns
than between the gunners. When the
guns on side are disabled surrender is
inevitable whether anyone has been
hurt or not. In time, as we progress,
we may become humane enough to
plant automatic projectile-firing ma
chimes against each other and let the
